Mr Carroll Went Crazy After Divorce

As he drove down the road, Sion kept his car window open and let the cool breeze hit his face. It felt refreshing and invigorating, almost like it could clear his mind and body of any worries. He couldn’t help but think back to that night years ago.

That night, he had drank too much alcohol and his memories were hazy. But he remembered feeling completely different from how he felt tonight. In his recollection, everything was shrouded in a thick fog. He couldn’t see the woman’s face clearly or remember how she had even appeared. All he could recall was Seth calling Aurora on the phone but her not being able to come over, Nevaeh calling him for directions, and then waking up with Nevaeh beside him.

But what stood out most in his memory was a woman’s voice, angry yet playful as she called out to him by name, “Sion.”

Nevaeh never used that tone with him before. She always acted more familiar with him.NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

Sion’s grip on the steering wheel tightened unconsciously as thoughts raced through his mind about how this situation might have been a misunderstanding. If it turned out that way then how would he ever make it up to Aurora?

The more Sion thought about it though, the clearer things became in his head.

His eyes narrowed as he pressed down harder on the gas pedal. All he wanted now was to be right in front of Aurora so they could talk this through properly.

As Sion drove into a residential area filled with villas near where Aurora lived, streetlights illuminated their surroundings making everything appear darker than usual since many houses had already turned off their lights for bedtime.

Sion glanced at the phone lying next to him on the passenger seat, wondering if Aurora was asleep already. Something inside urged him forward, causing him to dial her number immediately without thinking twice about it.

Inside one of those villas sat Aurora, playing Lego blocks with two children while thinking they should probably start getting ready for bed soon. Theodore heard something from a nearby sofa. “Mommy! Your phone is ringing!”

“Okay.” She reached over patting Theodore’s head before standing up smilingly and walking towards the sofa.

Sion?

Why would Sion call at such an hour?

Instinctively glancing over at Theodore and Morgan, she walked away from them towards somewhere more private before answering, “Mr Carroll? Is there something urgent you need? At this late hour?”

Sudden itchiness surged within Sion’s heart upon hearing Aurora’s voice.

“Aurora are you asleep yet? I need your help with something.” Said he.

Aurora was taken aback and immediately refused, her heart in a panic. She said, “I’m already asleep. Sometimes things can wait until tomorrow. And don’t come to my house.”

Theodore and Morgan hadn’t even left yet. Had he discovered something? Or was it another deliberate test?

Sion didn’t notice anything unusual, hit the brakes and looked up at the lights on the second floor of the villa.

“But I’m already here at your doorstep.”

“…”

What?!

Aurora’s mind raced with confusion as she walked quickly to the window and pulled back the curtains. She saw his parked car and that conspicuous man standing in front of it. Aurora looked coldly and angrily at him. Sion seemed to feel her gaze as she lifted the curtain. Their eyes met for an instant. Aurora bit her lip, feeling flustered inside.

“I have a question I must ask you. Are you coming down or should I go up?”

He was sure about seeing her at this moment, not just for clearing things up from years ago but because he simply wanted to see her.

Sion sounded serious enough but Aurora couldn’t tell if he was trying to trick or manipulate her into meeting him or if there was an emergency as he said. But this wasn’t important right now-Theodore and Morgan were at home! If Sion found out that both kids were currently hiding in this villa, everything she had done previously would be for nothing.

She took a deep breath before gnashing, “Wait there.”

Then she hung up without further ado.

“Theodore, Morgan!”

Aurora had decided what she needed to do when she saw Sion arrive. She needed to hide both children away somewhere safe. Quickly throwing down her phone onto the sofa while grabbing both kids’ hands tightly together, Aurora said hurriedly, “Mommy has some business right now, so we’re going into the storage room for a while. Later Mommy will come to get you guys.”

Although she didn’t say why exactly they needed to hide away like this, Morgan could tell from how Aurora acted that something big must have happened. “It must be Daddy who came here! Otherwise, Mommy wouldn’t let them hide away like this!” Morgan thought to herself.

Morgan secretly rejoiced inside because now they could finally see Daddy again. However, she had to listen and obediently followed her brother, holding a toy as they hid in the storage room.

Once the two little ones were settled, Aurora finally relaxed and took a deep breath before walking out.

Sion had been waiting for what felt like forever and was about to barge in when he saw a figure emerge from inside.

She wore casual home clothes that draped over her body, which couldn’t hide her alluring curves. Sion’s desire grew stronger with each passing moment.

“Aurora,” he uttered softly.

Aurora crossed her arms defensively and didn’t want to engage with him.

“Why did you come here so late, Mr Carroll? What do you want?”

If this man stayed one minute longer than necessary, Morgan and Theodore would be at risk of being discovered. So Aurora regarded him as if he were an enemy on high alert. She stood at a distance from him in a defensive posture, while Sion was eager for answers. He approached her without hesitation, grabbing onto her shoulders tightly while locking his eyes on hers.

“Five years ago after I drank too much, Seth called you for me. But when I woke up, I saw Nevaeh in my room… Did you come over that night?”

“Five years ago?”

Aurora hesitated slightly, not knowing why he brought up something so far back into their past that she forgot to push him away. Thinking back on that night five years ago made it feel like memories were tearing open wounds within herself. Everything started from then on. Because of that mistake, she wouldn’t have held onto any hope for their marriage. Nor would she have continued their entanglement for such a long time after filing for divorce, not to mention being targeted by Nevaeh.

It turned out that he had always believed that it was Nevaeh who had sex with him that night. But it didn’t matter anymore. It wouldn’t change anything now since everything has already happened. Revealing this information would only make things more complicated than they already were.
