Mr Carroll Went Crazy After Divorce

“Yeah.” While packing things up, Nevaeh continued in a teasing tone, “I happened to see both of them hanging around in the mall yesterday. And today that gentleman incredibly protected her from harm. I guess they should be in love.”

Not until then did Sion pay Alex a glance.

He stood up to stare at Alex from above, who was sitting still.

Then he fixed his eyes on Alex’s wound.

Aurora somehow captured a trace of sulkiness within Sion’s eyes, which she found embarrassing.

Though she believed Sion reserved no feelings for her, it would be awkward to lead him into a misunderstanding that she was now falling in love with another guy since they hadn’t officially divorced yet.

“Well, we are not…”

“Hmm, I am courting her.” Before Aurora could declare, Alex suddenly cut in. Then he continued swiftly, “Though we haven’t been in a relationship, I will do my best to work on it.”

“Oh, you gotta keep up!” Nevaeh took off the gloves to encourage him.

Aurora was speechless.

Sion grew more sulk. He shifted his gaze off from Alex. Nor did he cast a glance at Aurora. He simply talked to Nevaeh, “Have you done the stitching? Come on, time for lunch.”

Nevaeh felt like the atmosphere was getting awkward.

She took a look at Sion and then at Aurora, “Well, why don’t we dine together? It’s common to dine with friends, right?”

But Aurora found herself really reluctant. Before she was about to refuse, Sion continued with his cold voice, “Come. Let’s go.”

She felt like the word of refusal got stuck in the middle of her throat. Meanwhile, she was confused about what was on Sion’s mind. Why did he allow both Alex and her to interrupt his date with his ex? Didn’t he consider it embarrassing? But since Sion had agreed, so be it.

It wasn’t at the peak hour of the restaurant.

The four of them decided to have a table next to the window. Alex walked over there to pull out a chair for Aurora naturally.

Sion sat down himself opposite them. Then he beckoned a waiter over.

After making her orders, Nevaeh handed Aurora the menu, “Anything else you guys want for lunch?”

Alex took over the menu. He turned to ask Aurora in a soft voice while flipping it, “What do you want for lunch? Let me help you to order.”

Since he had confessed his intention to court her, he decided to do his best in all aspects.

Feeling uneasy, Aurora wasn’t in the mood for thinking about those dishes.

“Whatever fits your appetite…” she replied.

Alex then smiled at her, “I saw you sweating in the hospital. Let me get you a scoop of ice cream with mango. Is that okay for you?”

Before she was about to refuse, Sion suddenly uttered coldly, “She’s allergic to mango.”

As soon as he finished, the three of them all looked at him in surprise. After a few seconds of silence, both Nevaeh and Alex asked in unison, “How do you know?”

The atmosphere became a bit unsettling.

Aurora felt like her heart skipped a beat.

What was wrong with him?

So she cleared her voice to break the ice, “Mr Carroll, you must be mistaken. We barely dine together, right? Actually, I kind of like mango.”

While speaking, she gave Sion a signal with her eyes. Sion simply cast a glance at her and stopped talking. She finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Now Aurora regretted agreeing to dine with them, which turned out to be so embarrassing. But luckily, nothing wrong happened in the following minutes.

Soon, all dishes were served, which tasted good.

Nevaeh was of good table manner. While looking at Aurora and Alex, she asked tentatively, “How do you know each other?”

“He’s one of the alumni of my acquaintance.” Aurora could at least figure out a proper answer to a common question like that.

Nevaeh nodded and continued, “Well, I haven’t known what you are majoring in.”

“Fashion design.”

“Oh, really? Great! I feel like those majors related to something artistic are really amazing just like painting, playing the piano and stuff like that…whatever, you guys are amazing!”

“I am flattered. In my opinion, those graduating from medical school deserve greater praise.” Aurora replied honestly.

With a bright smile, Alex cut a piece of steak for Aurora, “You guys are all amazing.”

Nevaeh couldn’t help smiling. Then she asked again, “Are you about to graduate? What’s your plan? Are you gonna strive for a master’s degree or seek a job?”

Aurora answered frankly, “I want a job first. Alex has got me an internship at T-Shine, where he works. If that’s suitable for me, I wish I could keep on working there.”

Then she took a sip of the lemonade. However, as she looked up, she happened to bump into Sion’s gaze. She noticed how chilling his eyes appeared for a second, for which she almost got choked. So she hurried to avert her eyes, feeling strange. However, a few minutes later, she started to feel itchy all over. Bad feelings surged up in her heart. She hid both arms under the table and started scratching. She had to maintain a slow and soft move in case of being noticed.

Actually, a few minutes ago, she struggled to take a bite of mango under Alex’s expectant gaze. But she didn’t expect the symptom to raid her so soon.

Fortunately, no one noticed her move. It would be fine as long as she feigned a normal look until they finished the lunch.

Nevaeh kept on sighing with her hand holding her jaw, “Well, I haven’t even known much about the local fashion brand since I returned home from abroad. Aurora, can you design a few outfits for me?”

While thinking about it, Nevaeh was getting a bit more excited, “If you become a well-known designer around the globe, I will be proud to announce that I am a friend of such glory.”

Seeing her remaining silent, Nevaeh supposed her words might have concerned her. So she then added, “I know the customized design will cost much. Don’t worry. I can afford it. I believe you can do it well.”

“Hmm, I’m afraid…” Because of the allergy, Aurora simply blurted out her words without any further consideration.

She didn’t expect that the symptoms started to get worse so soon. In a few minutes, her face felt itchy and hot. She felt like leaving as soon as possible before they noticed.

“Well, I…” Aurora licked her lips awkwardly to stand up. She was about to figure out an excuse to leave.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

But then Sion suddenly huffed, “She didn’t require much but a few outfits you design. Is that gonna be exhausting?”

Aggrieved, Aurora blinked her eyes awkwardly.

Yeah, it was indeed easy for her to fulfil Nevaeh’s request, which she wasn’t going to refuse.

However, she found it so hard to confess her grievance. She really wanted to question if he could pay a bit more care to her.
