Chapter 33 “Sion, Let Go of Me First!”
Albie turned around to come to his desk, leaving a long shadow on the floor. He picked up the document and glanced at the first page, then closed it again calmly and put it away naturally.
“It’s no big deal. Don’t waste my time.”
Albie went past the desk, sat down on his leather chair and crossed his arms on the desk, “I’ve told you to look into it. Anything now?”
Cory thought of it and bowed slightly, “I’ve checked that no one lives in the house now. But it isn’t for sale or rent. Its owner has moved.” He paused and added, “And, Mr. Doyle, the number you gave me was out of service years ago.”
Albie frowned and didn’t know what to say for the time. He went to several cake shops last night and finally got the chocolate hazelnut cake, and it wasn’t too late at night.
He’d thought a lot before he returned to the house, like what he was gonna say when they met and where he’d been these years, as well as how he was gonna make her forgive him. But when he arrived there, he found no one in that empty house, where there used to be a big family.
The house was covered in darkness, quiet and desolate. Albie slipped his fingers into the crack of the iron door and not surprisingly, he found a key. But it had been years and the key was rusted. He unlocked the door and went in. The yard was an abandoned wasteland. The trees and flowers withered and everything in there was lifeless.
The key of the house was covered under the mat of the gate. Albie opened the door and turned on the lights in the living room. The furniture were covered with cloth and they were heavily dusted. Clearly, the owner had been away for some time.
Albie put down the cake on the tea table. He thought he’d see her when he came back. However, he could see nothing but an empty house. For the time being, he was a little down and lost. A moment later, he took out his phone and dialed the number which he had engraved in mind.
“Sorry, the number you dial is out of service. Please try again later…” The phone notification tone was feelingless, which had stung him.
Albie came back to earth, rubbed his forehead and said peacefully, “Keep digging.”
“Yes, Mr Doyle.”
Cory saw Albie’s unhappy face and added, “I’ve told the doorman to contact with me if he sees the house owner.”
“OK. Leave now.”
Cory nodded and turned to leave the office.
Albie looked up. His deep and dark eyes were filled with gloominess, anxiety and despair, looking like he was gonna have a outburst any time.
“Aurora, where have you been?” he kept thinking.
Aurora came home early after work and began packing happily. She’d also given a thought on the climate in Sisland. It was very dry and she might need more cream and facial masks.
Sion came back from work and saw her unpacked suitcase in the living room. He put on a straight face and strode over without changing his shoes. Besides her clothes, he could also find Aurora’s daily necessities inside. Was she leaving?
Sion went back to put on his slippers and couldn’t help thinking of the fact that they were getting a divorce very soon. His eyes were blazing with anger and he couldn’t look worse. They were still married. She just couldn’t wait to leave?
The door of the master bedroom was open. Sion peered into it and went straight in. Aurora was packing the wash supplies and talking with Elle on speaker.
Elle was doing something and making some annoying noise on the other end of the phone, “Well, whom are you gonna live with? Won’t you be scared to live alone?”
“Nah. I don’t live alone.” Aurora said with a smile, “You know Alex, right? I’ll go with him.”
There was another colleague. She didn’t tell Elle since she didn’t know her well. The three of them would go together and they were gonna stay in the same hotel. Probably, they wouldn’t live far away from each other.
Sion arrived at the door of the restroom, overheard their conversation and looked more furious. Was she moving out and living with that Alex? That was why she couldn’t wait to get a divorce?
“Wow!” Elle teased her, “You’ll go with another man! Shouldn’t you tell Dr. Carroll first?”
“Sion?” Aurora raised her eyebrows and said, “Why should I? I can do… ”
Before she could finish her words, Aurora suddenly saw Sion from the mirror, and it had scared the hell out of her. Sion came near her before she realized what had happened, took over the phone and hang up quickly and neatly.
Aurora was extremely confused. She didn’t know what she had done to piss him off again. She was about to figure it out. But she looked up, only to see Sion’s angry face.
He grabbed Aurora by the shoulders, turned her and pressed her against the cold wall. As a result, she was locked in his arms. They were so close to each other. His masculine and hormone made her heart race. Aurora shrank back a little and couldn’t help to look at the man in front of her.
He had perfectly smooth skin. His eyelashes were thick and long and his eyes looked so deep and attractive. Once she looked at him in the eyes, she could be lost in his charm.
She must stop it! She took her eyes off him and secretly told herself to stay awake. Indeed, he was a dreamboat. But he didn’t belong to her!
Sion held up her chin and made her look at his eyes, “You’re moving out, right?”
“No…” Aurora was seized by the chin and couldn’t speak smoothly, “Sion, just let go of me first!”NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
“You want to live with that Alex?”
Sion’s fingers felt cool but his breath was burning hot. He breathed onto her cheeks, as if he was gonna set her on fire.
“What? Who told you that?”
She really couldn’t stand him any more. Every time he took it out on her for nothing. Did he really think she was a pushover?
Aurora glared at him. In Sion’s eyes, it wasn’t a sign of anger or threat. Instead, he thought she was acting cute and flirting with him. She pouted and stared at him with her bright and beautiful eyes.
Sion narrowed his eyes, looked furious, and said in a hoarse voice, “What did you mean by saying that? You want to move out without telling me?”
At the moment, he was mostly on top of Aurora. In the mirror behind them, he’d completely had Aurora under him. Aurora was red in the face. She tried pushing him away but couldn’t make it, “I don’t have to tell you everything, right? You don’t tell me…”
Her voice went down bit by bit, not because she was guilty, but because Sion had come closer to her. She could touch his nose as long as she looked up. Her heart was beating faster and faster and it seemed to pop out.
Sion buried his face in her neck and looked as dangerous as a hunting lion, “Do you forget that you’re still my wife?”
