Mr Carroll Went Crazy After Divorce

Maisy couldn’t swallow her anger no matter how much she thought about it, muttering to herself down the stairs.

“Such a good son… he might as well be raised by someone else!”

The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. She stood in front of her car and stomped her foot hard, then turned to look at the cold building behind her. A thought occurred to her.

Sion had been showing Aurora his affection for so long, why wasn’t there any response from her? Was this woman’s heart made of stone? What was there left to consider?

But since Nevaeh couldn’t forget Aurora and move on, Maisy would reluctantly help him out. She leaned against the car directly and rubbed her chin in contemplation. Apart from their previous misunderstanding, there might be other reasons why Aurora didn’t agree to reconcile with Nevaeh. If she agreed now, perhaps there would be progress. Maisy felt like she had found the key issue at once. If that was true, then all she needed to do was go talk to Aurora about it and everything would be resolved. Although Aurora wasn’t particularly well-liked in Maisy’s heart, since her son liked her so much then Maisy could take a step back. It was still better than dealing with someone as malicious as Nevaeh.

At least she knew where Aurora came from and how far she could go. Aurora used to behave obediently, and wouldn’t do anything outrageous or unreasonable.

“Right! I’ll go now.”

She muttered under her breath before turning around and getting into the car. Maisy drove smoothly towards the building of Crescent Group along familiar roads. She even prepared some drafts on what exactly should say when meeting with her former daughter-in-law. In any case, she absolutely could not lose control of herself again when talking with Aurora.

Just after arriving at Crescent Group downstairs, Maisy saw two figures walking towards them not far away. One of them looked familiar.

Soon, she found it was Aurora.

She was shocked by seeing those two people from afar, and anger slowly began brewing inside of her. The man next door looked like an average Joe, and they were gaily laughing together. And she also saw the man next to Aurora put his hand on Aurora’s waist.

Maisy gripped tightly onto the steering wheel, her eyes almost spitting fire watching them walk past beside her. However, she never expected that Aurora was such a fickle woman.

She had o tell her son about this.

Without caring about anything else, Maisy dialled Sion’s number directly. “Son, do you know that your beloved woman Aurora has been involved with another man for a while now?”

Sion listened to her voice and felt a headache coming on. “Mom, what are you talking about again?”

“I’m not making this up!” Maisy retorted stubbornly. She briefly explained the situation in just a few words. “They’re already getting intimate with each other. Is this normal behaviour between two people who are just friends?”

Sion didn’t doubt the truth of what his mother was saying, knowing that the relationship between Aurora and that man was never pure, to begin with. For a moment, his already gloomy heart sank even further as he felt pain creeping up in his chest.

“Mom, you don’t need to interfere in this matter.” Sion’s voice was grim. “And don’t bother her anymore either.”

Maisy felt somewhat angry inside but she wasn’t as impulsive as before. She reluctantly responded with an ‘okay’. “Can’t you find yourself a normal woman? These women around you are all troublemakers!”

“That’s enough Mom.”

Sion interrupted her weakly. “I have to attend my meeting now so I’ll hang up first.”

After speaking, he hung up without waiting for any response from the other end of the line. Sion held onto his phone tightly and looked outside through deep eyes while murmuring bitterly under his breath, “Aurora, so you chose him in the end…”

On the other side of town, Maisy drove away angrily after hanging up on Sion.

Aurora sat beside Cameron, without knowing that she had been falsely accused by someone else over something trivial like being helped back onto her feet after nearly falling earlier on.

She planned to visit their factory together with Cameron later since their “Castle in The Sky” series had already hit stores nationwide, which meant she would have more time afterwards to spend with her children once they were done dealing with work-related matters.

However, at the present moment, Theodore was still staying over at Sion’s place. The thought gave Aurora another headache. It seemed like one problem followed right after another when it came down to these two little kids.

Cameron drove silently beside her before glancing over briefly towards Aurora. There was a flash of light shining through his warm eyes before he said, “Our company’s first project targeting the domestic market has turned out even more successful than I anticipated thanks entirely due to your efforts.”

“I dare not take all the credit,” Aurora raised her eyebrows, exuding confidence that was a far cry from her reserved and quiet self in the past. “This is the achievement of all my colleagues in the company. You should not differentiate among us like this.”

They happened to stop at a red light, and Cameron hit the brakes, turning his head to look at her. A ray of sunlight shone on Aurora’s face through the windshield. Her amber eyes were like jewels that attracted him, and her smile seemed to instantly brighten up his mood.

“Okay, okay, I’m sorry.” Cameron curved his lips into a smile before shifting his gaze back when they saw that green light had come on ahead.

“After we finish with the ‘Castle in the Sky’ project, you can take a good break for yourself.”

“I have plans for that,” replied Aurora as she relaxed her facial expression upon hearing Cameron’s words. He then casually asked, “Now that everything about five years ago has been revealed, what are your plans?”

She had returned home previously to uncover what happened five years ago.

“Can you consider returning with me to Halberk now?”

Aurora paused for a moment while smiling brightly before looking out of the window at how beautiful this city looked under sunlight. It was no longer cold or indifferent but rather invitingly warm and welcoming. She stopped walking mentally as she thought about whether or not she should agree with him but couldn’t seem to find any words coming out of her mouth despite wanting to say yes so badly.

Cameron noticed how hesitant she was feeling inside and withdrew his gaze while clenching the steering wheel tightly enough for his fingers to turn white.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Aurora got lost in thought, without realizing it until suddenly an incoming message tone brought back her attention again.

“Karen?”

Why would Karen send her a text?

“What’s wrong?” asked Cameron.

He caught sight of Karen’s name. Karen was the heiress from the Hayward family, who recently got involved in the Nevaeh murder case somehow.

“I don’t know, let me check,” Aurora replied with a confused look, as she curiously opened the text message.
