Mr Carroll Went Crazy After Divorce

Soon, Aurora felt much better.

She hurried to get away from the ambivalent atmosphere in the living room and headed straight back to the bedroom.

Looking at her own blushed face in the mirror, she seemed a bit upset.

She couldn’t believe she actually forgot putting on more clothes before she followed him to the living room just now.

And the way he helped to apply ointment to her skin appeared so intimate.

She was so scantily clad that he could see most part of her body, on which he actually laid his fingers.

Though she knew he was trying to keep her steady, she still felt quite abashed.

She took a few deep breaths to calm herself down. Although years had passed, she still found it hard to stay sober whenever facing Sion.

She kept reminding herself that all he did just now was out of the responsibility as a doctor.

Perhaps he would pay more care to the other patients than to her, she reckoned.

She gave her palms a massage to relax herself. Then she put on a night gown to walk out of the bedroom.

Sion was stilling still on the couch.

Obviously, she looked much better at this moment. Thus he didn’t intend to ask any questions.

A bit hesitant, Aurora sat down in a short distance from him. She still lacked the courage to look into his eyes.

“Well…thank you.” She uttered timidly.

“Not a problem. By the way, the pills you ordered for delivery have just arrived. I have it placed inside the drawer.”

He still maintained a casual voice as if it were nothing serious.

He helped to tend to her allergy just like he would also show no hesitation to offer a hand whenever he saw any strangers in need on the street, she supposed.

At the thought of that, she got frustrated again.

After some consideration, she finally made up her mind, “I think…we need to go through the procedure of divorce.”

After a few seconds of pause, she took a look at him and added, “I will be available next Tuesday. Just make it that day, okay?”

Her voice sounded peaceful without any sense of displeasure or reluctance.

His hand, while holding the medical periodical, slightly trembled a bit. The next second, he took out his phone to check his schedule.

It appeared to be April 28th.

“Okay.”

She felt like being struck by his cold response.

Unlike the impassive glance last time, this time he simply responded to agree.

Judging from his expression, she reckoned he might still be open for any negotiation.

He must be eager to divorce as well, she supposed.

However, out of the sense of responsibility, he didn’t feel like mentioning it.

She could tell he had been responsible and a man of his word.

Indeed, if Aurora didn’t propose to divorce, he would definitely maintain the marriage for the rest of his life as Professor Robertson once wished.

But never did he expect that Aurora was the first to propose the divorce.

Then there came the end of the talk between them. Aurora went back to her room to sleep.

However, she tossed and turned on the bed for the rest hours of the night, totally awake.

…

Inside a hustling nightclub, Seth was dancing in the middle while hugging two gorgeous ladies with both arms.

As he turned his head, he happened to notice Sion sitting in a booth. After whispering a few sentences to the lady, he then pushed his way through to walk to Sion.

“Oh, Mr. Carroll, what an unusual guest to the club!”

Sion put on a disdainful look at him while noticing the mark on his collar left by lipstick.

Seth laid his hand on Sion’s shoulder and then took the initiative to propose a toast, “Hey, we haven’t seen each other for a long time. Don’t I deserve a friendly look from you?”

Frowning, Sion huffed as soon as he thought about the two ladies Seth was hugging, “Get your hand off me.”

But Seth didn’t seem to get irritated. He let go of Sion’s shoulder, “What brings you here? Wanna kill your bad mood with some liquor?”

As a workaholic, Sion barely paid a visit here.

He simply replied with a cold glance. Then he drained another shot of liquor.

“Damn? Bro, you got heavy blow in relationship?” Seth was stunned with his eyes wide open.

In a few minutes after he arrived, he saw Sion finish three shots of liquor, which was totally uncommon.

Noticing he responded with silence, Seth could tell that must be a kind of acquiescence.

Driven by curiosity, Seth started sizing him up from head to toe.

Sion paid him another cold glance with his sharp eyes, “What’s wrong with you? Are you expecting some medical advice from me?”

“Hey, don’t be mad.” Seth refilled another shot of liquor for him and then continued, “Tell me, what happened? Is that because of Nevaeh, the beloved one of yours who has just returned?”

As well-informed as he had been, he got noticed as soon as Nevaeh, who had been eye-catching, was back.

Sion paused for seconds. He glanced at him and responded with silence.

Then he took another shot, with his black shirt unbuttoned on the top, which caught the eyes of others, including two girls who had been fixing their eyes on him.

Seth murmured, “I guess you are here to show off your flashy look.”

Sion’s eyes still appeared enigmatic. But he suddenly uttered, “I am gonna divorce.”

“What?” Seth was so surprised that he literally spat out the liquor inside his mouth.

Divorce?

Not until then did Seth realize that Sion had actually married Aurora though there hadn’t been a wedding ceremony, nor anyone knew.

But at least the marriage was officially registered.

Besides, he felt like a young girl like Aurora didn’t really match a mature gentleman like Sion.

What was more, they barely reserved any feelings for each other. During these years of marriage, Sion hardly mentioned about her, for which Seth almost forgot about their marriage.

He still remembered Sion agreed to marry her just because he wanted to pay back a debt of gratitude for Professor Robertson.

What on earth was happening now?

After looking at him for a few more seconds, Seth could notice he indeed looked frustrated.

Then he couldn’t help exclaiming, “Damn! She’s the reason why you look depressed?”

“No way. Did you fall in love with her?” Seth couldn’t help shaking his own head.

Sion raised his head to respond with a cold glance.

Seth smiled awkwardly and added, “I was just joking. I know you didn’t.”

Back into the old days, Sion’s relationship with Nevaeh had been well known in the medical school. If it weren’t because of the fact that Nevaeh decided to go abroad for study, they might have got married and had their own baby.

As far as he knew about Sion, who had been faithful to love, it could be highly possible that he was gonna rekindle the relationship with Nevaeh since she was back.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

It seemed that the sense of guilt might account for his frustration today, Seth reckoned.

After all, Aurora was innocent and adorable.

Driven by a bit of drunkenness, Seth let out a joking smile, “If you don’t like Aurora, that adorable girl, I would like to court her after you divorce her. I just can’t bear to see her heart being broken…”

Sion fixed his sharp eyes on the glass of wine he was shaking, on the surface of which the light reflected back to his eyes.

A few seconds later, he suddenly uttered, “Don’t touch her.”
