Chapter 189 The Girl Who is Glued to Him
Sion and David left there.
Since Sion had been away, Albie thought there was no need to stay, and then he said to Anna, “So we have to leave now. Please give my kind regards to Queen.”
“Okay, Mr Doyle,” Anna said, and accompanied him to the lift, and she came back to Aurora’s office. After a deep breath, Anna came to Aurora, who was reclining lazily in the chair. “Queen, they have left.”
“Did he look displeased when he left?” asked Aurora, with a radiant face.
Anna knew that Aurora meant Sion, and replied, “Yes, Mr Carroll was unhappy when he left.”
“Aha! But regrettably, I didn’t see that personally,” said Aurora, with a sneer. She didn’t forget all the mean things that Sion and Nevaeh did to her in the past. Now, she could revenge. She thought, “Sion, the worst is yet to come.”
“But, is the term somewhat hard?” began Anna.
Actually, even a leading company in the garment industry wouldn’t simply accept Queen’s term to invest 140 million. After all, it required a long period to bring the investment return.
“The condition must be exacting.” Aurora flipped through a design book in an offhand way, and continued, “To put it bluntly, the condition is only aimed at the Carroll Group.”
Anna was clear that it was just a game directed at the Carroll Group, and she nodded, “I see.” She wondered about the contradictions between Queen and Sion Carroll.
“Is there any news of Momo?” asked Aurora. She wanted to know how things were going with little Morgan. Morgan was so well-behaved that Aurora was quite worried that she would be wronged.
Anna took the tablet computer and showed photos to Aurora, “These are the photos.”
Aurora took the tablet, sweet-tempered at the thought of that little girl, and asked in surprise, “Has Sion taken Momo with him all the time?” Aurora looked at the photos peacefully, and thought in surprise, “What a sweet picture.”
“Yes,” Anna nodded, “Mr Carroll has accompanied Momo nearly all the time since they left the wedding ceremony. And sometimes he even took her to the company.” Anna was also a bit surprised that Sion could be so kind to a little girl.
“Company?” asked Aurora, in astonishment, and then she looked at the picture, in which Momo was with Sion in the company.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
“I guess, Mr Carroll took Momo to the company, perhaps because she is shy with strangers.” Said Anna. After all, Momo was so lovable that nobody could resist her loveliness, she thought.
Aurora looked at the picture, where little Momo was by Sion’s side and her hands were clutching his coat. Apparently, Momo relied on Sion a lot. Somehow, Aurora felt a bit sad, or depressed. She wondered why her little Momo relied on Sion so much.
“Is there anything else?” asked Aurora, causally.
But Anna was serious, and tittered, “And in the company, Mr Carroll keeps Momo close to him wherever he is, even if he is at meetings. All the staff of the Carroll Group are wondering whether Momo is his daughter or not.”
Aurora lifted her eyes from the photos, with a surprised and bewildered expression on her face.
Anna didn’t notice Aurora’s facial expressions, and continued, “One day, Mr Carroll’s fiancée went to the company, and wanted to take Momo to the police. However, Mr Carroll argued with his fiancée.”
“Sion, how could he argue with Nevaeh?” Aurora said with a sneer.
“He did. I think that can’t be wrong,” said Anna, “Besides, I don’t think she is Mr Carroll’s fiancée. Or, how could their wedding cease halfway? Just because of Momo? I don’t think so.” Said Anna.
Aurora supported her chin in her hand, with a thoughtful look. She was also confused about the relationship between Sion and Nevaeh. It was quite impossible that they would have cancelled their wedding because of a quarrel over a little unacquainted girl, she thought.
Aurora would not doubt Cameron’s people since they rarely made mistakes. But she could not figure out why Sion treated Morgan, whom he had met only a few days ago, so well, and why they cancelled their wedding easily since they were a happy couple.
There was a possibility that Sion might have known who Morgan was. At the thought of it, Aurora felt nervous, suddenly, as she knew that Sion must have taken Morgan back if he knew she was his daughter.
“No, no, it’ll never do for Sion to know that. Momo can’t call Nevaeh mother.” Aurora thought. She closed her eyes, and put her hands on her head, covering her bright eyes.
Seeing that Aurora was agitated, Anna moved a few steps away from her and stood silently.
After a long while, Aurora raised her head, and her nerves were steadied. She thought it over and finally came to be sure that Sion hadn’t been aware of Morgan’s identity yet, or he would have done something.
Morgan was a very likeable, lovely girl, and that might explain Sion’s nice attitude toward her. But she could not let Morgan stay for too long with Sion, so she must bring her daughter back as soon as possible.
“Keep a close watch on Sion. I need to know his news every day.”
“Yes.” Replied Anna.
“Oh right, Sion didn’t bring Momo here today, and who looks after Momo?”
“He entrusted Momo to a man, who must be his friend,” answered Anna, “We have investigated that man, and found he is Seth Harvey, from Harvey Group. Though he is a playboy, he is reliable indeed.”
Aurora was familiar with Seth, Sion’s friend since childhood. She felt relaxed, reclined in the chair, and said, “Okay, if there’s any news, please tell me.”
“Yes,” Anna nodded and said, “and, I’m off.”
Then she got out of the office.
Aurora began to look at the pictures again when Anna was away, and thought about something, seemingly.
