Mr Carroll Went Crazy After Divorce

After work, Aurora drove straight to the restaurant where she had arranged to meet Elle. She arrived first and chose a table by the window before picking up the menu from the server to take the order.

Since Elle had similar tastes to her and didn’t have any dietary restrictions, Aurora could finish ordering first. Aurora saw Elle walking in through the door and quickly raised her hand to greet her, “Elle! Over here!”

When Elle saw her, she picked up her pace.

“Why are you so early? I thought I would get here before you.” She said as she pulled out a chair and sat down. Elle poured herself a glass of water and drank it all in one go.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

Aurora was surprised by how thirsty Elle seemed. “What did you do that made you so thirsty?” she asked curiously.

Elle wiped her mouth with a napkin as her eyes sparkled mischievously. “Nothing much, I didn’t drink much water today.”

Aurora handed over the menu to Elle saying, “I’ve ordered some dishes already, take a look if there’s anything else you want.”

“I like whatever you order,” said Elle as she handed back the menu to the server without even looking at it again. “We have similar tastes anyway.”

Aurora smiled knowingly, “Yeah.”

After all these years, everything had changed except for Elle.

As they chatted away about various topics of interest over dinner, suddenly Seth walked into their line of sight, making Aurora’s eyes widen with surprise.

What was he doing here?

“What’s wrong?” Elle followed Aurora’s gaze and looked back.

“Why are you here?” Elle blurted it out almost subconsciously, forgetting that she shouldn’t and couldn’t be familiar with Seth like this.

“Do you know each other?” asked Aurora, confused.

“Of course!”

“No, we don’t.”

Both Seth and Elle answered with the slightest hesitation at the same time.

Aurora’s expression turn suspicious, wondering if something more than a friendship existed between them. And she thought the man with Elle when she called her was Seth. At this moment, she noticed that Elle had turned blushed, with anger.

Elle questioned Seth, “Are you following me?”

This man had promised her nicely at first that he wouldn’t involve in anything about her private life.

Seth sat down beside Elle and said, “Elle… I’ve been tired all day. You didn’t comfort me before you left. Isn’t that a bit irresponsible?”

He sounded pitiful with his handsome face pretending to be innocent, which made Aurora shiver. But this gossip was too juicy not to listen to. So Aurora leaned over with folded arms and watched the show.

Elle didn’t expect Seth to suddenly turn against her like this. She pushed his face away with one hand, “What responsibility do I have?”

While speaking, she gave a strange look at Aurora as if afraid of being misunderstood. “We… we’re just friends. What’s there to be responsible for?”

As Elle pushed Seth away, she blinked at him quickly while conveying the message: Don’t tell Aurora about their relationship.

There was a flash of light in Seth’s eyes as he looked even more aggrieved on his face, “How can you say that, Elle? Aren’t we more than just ordinary friends? We share the most intimate things…”

Elle quickly pulled him aside by hand and asked, “Are you dizzy or what? Why are you talking nonsense?”

Elle glared fiercely at the man with an angry face while casting crazy glances towards Aurora, hoping he would understand what she meant.

“You’d better not talk anymore since you’re here already! Just sit down!”

“Doesn’t he usually seem smart enough? How come he can’t understand me?” Elle thought to herself.

Aurora’s curious eyes glanced back and forth between them, feeling like her previous guess might have been right. t

“Is there something between you two?” She asked hesitantly.

Just when Elle wanted to deny it, Seth spoke up first, “I’m together with Elle…my feelings for her run deep, and I’m trying my best preparing for a marriage proposal but unfortunately, she rejected me only wanting my body…”

Elle quickly reached out and covered his mouth. “Have you been drinking? You’re drunk. Sit down and rest!”

This man was crazy! She didn’t want Aurora to know that she was involved with Seth, but now everything was a mess. Elle felt embarrassed and angry at him.

Aurora noticed that Elle’s face wasn’t looking good, so she stopped asking questions. Although Elle appeared carefree, when she got angry it was serious business. Aurora couldn’t interfere too much.

“Did Sion know about this?” Aurora thought to herself.

She smiled and said, “Yeah, sit down Seth. We’re all FRIENDS here.”

Emphasizing the word ‘friends’ made Elle feel even more embarrassed; she wished she could just crawl into a hole somewhere.

Seth seemed not to hear what Aurora said and he looked at Elle tenderly without any sense of distance between them. He even wanted to get closer.

Aurora found their awkwardness amusing as she ate fruit from the plate in front of her while occasionally glancing over at them.

Seth knew that Elle was angry because he had told Aurora without consulting her first. But Aurora was her best friend; if she kept hiding things from her best friend, their relationship would never progress beyond where it was now. He couldn’t wait any longer.

Underneath the table, Seth secretly held onto Elle’s hand but she shook him off angrily.

She did have some feelings for him though; what mattered most now was that this guy broke the rules they both agreed to before.

Thankfully nothing else happened after dinner; they chatted normally throughout the meal including talking about Sion’s company, which had recovered from its troubles recently. Hearing this news made Aurora feel relieved since Theodore wouldn’t be neglected anymore.

When the dinner ended, Aurora left on purpose, leaving Seth alone with Elle, knowing full well what kind of relationship existed between them. And surely, Seth would take responsibility for ensuring Ellie’s safety.

However, they still surprised her. She didn’t know how they got together. According to Seth, he was serious about Elle and they were even talking about getting married.

Aurora couldn’t stop thinking about it when she got home. As she changed into comfortable clothes and lay down on the couch, she fiddled with her phone for a while before finally calling Sion.

As a friend of Seth’s, Sion should have known something about them, Aurora reckoned.
