Mr Carroll Went Crazy After Divorce

Sion turned his gaze back to Nevaeh. “It’s probably just a prank from someone, I’ll take care of it. You don’t have to worry.”

Nevaeh couldn’t believe how nonchalant he was being about it. Was that all?

She looked at him with disbelief and couldn’t even form a complete sentence when she saw his cold eyes.

“Okay…”

Sion glanced at her, feeling slightly puzzled. He wanted to go back and ask Morgan about it. He scanned his fingerprint and opened the door, calling out for Morgan but finding no one there, not even Donna. They were probably out having fun somewhere.

Nevaeh was thrilled with it-a good chance for her. She believed that Sion would let her rest inside for a while. Her joyous expression didn’t escape Sion’s notice as he raised an eyebrow at her. He took a look at her and noticed that apart from being suspended by ropes with some marks on her face, she wasn’t injured anywhere else. Then he spoke coldly, “If there’s nothing else then you should go back first.”

His words were blunt yet piercing.

“Sion… I miss Morgan. Can you let me wait here for a little bit?”

She couldn’t let go of any opportunity for her marriage.

Sion put one hand in his pants pocket and glanced at her. “Even if she is here right now, I doubt she’d want to see you.”

He knew Morgan didn’t like Nevaeh since she met her last time.

There was only unwillingness and anger written all over the woman’s face.

It was Aurora who stole all of Sion’s attention before, and now there was a little girl who did the same thing.

What did Sion think of her anyway?

Nevaeh couldn’t help thinking of the three people who died previously. They hadn’t been any help despite so much money and time she spent on them.

“I came here because there’s still something I need to say.” She began again.

Slight impatience flickered across Sions’ face without detection. He now wanted to avoid contact with Nevaeh, in case Aurora would misunderstand him. But Nevaeh kept coming to him, and sometimes she did go too far.

“What’s up?” he asked, expressionless.

“It’s just that…”

Nevaeh looked a little hesitant. “I accidentally hear some news about those people who kidnapped Morgan.”

“What?”

Sion stared at her. “Where are they?”

“I… I can’t explain it in just a few words,” Nevaeh avoided his gaze. “If you come over to my house, I’ll tell you everything. Don’t worry! I don’t have any other intentions, the evidence is at home.”

The last sentence sounded deliberate. Sion looked at her trying to see through the truth from those eyes. But he was eager for the truth and didn’t notice anything unusual in her eyes. He thought for a moment before responding, “Not today. I’ll come to find you tomorrow.”

Nevaeh felt elated inside and said, “When you come over, call me beforehand.”

“Mhm.”

Nevaeh smiled contentedly and left.

Sion glanced in the direction she had left and then back outside where he saw the rope on the ground. His eyebrows furrowed slightly.

It wasn’t long before Donna came back with Theodore from outside, where they were playing downstairs earlier.

As soon as Donna walked into their apartment, she saw Sion sitting on the couch looking serious like he had been waiting for them. She couldn’t help but feel confused.

“Sion, what happened?”

“Donna, go do something else first.”

Donna knew that something must’ve happened again because of Missy. She had gotten used to this routine already in the past few days since Sion wouldn’t do anything harmful towards the child anyways so she went ahead into the kitchen without worries.

“Come here.”

Although Sion’s voice wasn’t heavy it also wasn’t gentle like usual either.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

After for a while, Theodore thought of the rope he had put at the door.

“Daddy…”

He walked over and stood in front of Sion,

“Did you do something bad?” Sion’s demeanour remained calm but firm. “Like hurting someone or doing something harmful near our door.”

Theodore stole a glance at him, knowing that the woman had fallen into his trap.

When he and Donna were about to leave, he saw Nevaeh outside getting out of her car. He immediately understood that she was coming to pester Sion again. So he decided to teach her a lesson. Unexpectedly, with just one setup from him, she fell for it. It was all because of her poor eyesight; she stepped on the rope.

He felt pleased inside but put on a pouty face and started shedding tears as his little sister would do.

“Why is Daddy so mean to me? Is it because you don’t like me anymore?”

Sion didn’t expect “her” sudden burst of tears and pulled Theodore closer.

“I don’t think that way, but why did you make such a dangerous thing at our doorstep?”

“I… I’m just worried about bad people coming into our house.” The boy said more and more pitifully as tears welled up in his eyes.

“On TV they always show bad people breaking in and stealing things and they may hurt us. I made this trap at the door so I can catch any bad guys who come in! That way I can protect Daddy!”

Sion was quite pleased by his sweet words and thoughtfulness.

“I’m not blaming you,” he picked up Theodore and sat down holding him close while speaking softly. “But have you thought about what will happen if an innocent person gets hurt?”

Since Donna was around him, he wouldn’t hurt her. Thus, he cared about nothing while doing that. “I understand now.”

Sion wiped away the tears from Theodore’s face gently before continuing, “Don’t worry about bad guys hurting me. I will protect you well, okay?”

The image of Morgan being taken away by those thugs flashed through Sion’s mind, making him feel even more distressed than before. And at the thought of them, Sion looked grim.

Theodore noticed the change of Sion’s look but he didn’t know what Sion was thinking about.

“I understand, but I still want to protect you. I’ll also take good care of myself.” Said Theodore.

Sion snapped out of it and stroked Theodore’s head lovingly full of tenderness.

“As long as she’s okay.” He thought.
