Mr Carroll Went Crazy After Divorce

She finally finished her preparation for market research today.

In the following week, she soon got used to the work. She had been busy for every single day.

It was a Thursday on April 28th. Aurora asked for a leave beforehand. She got up early and dressed herself up.

She put on a nice makeup and her favorite dress to decently put an end to this marriage.

Sion didn’t stay at home last night. So she hailed herself a taxi to the court and waited for him at a parterre in front of the portal.

As breeze blew, the hemline of her long floral dress floated in the air, beneath which the fair skin of her slim calves revealed.

She was wearing exactly the same as the day when she met Sion for the first time.

However, this time, her mindset was totally different.

Back into the old days, she was filled with joy and excitement.

At the thought of that, she couldn’t help sighing. After checking the time on her watch, she noticed that he was late. However, he still hadn’t shown up.

She didn’t make a call to him until waiting for another five minutes, “Are you on your way?”

“What’s the matter?” his response went beyond her expectation.

Speechless, she couldn’t help clenching her phone hard. She didn’t continue until quite a while later, “I am waiting at the court. Have you forgot that today is the day when we are gonna divorce?”

“Oh, sorry. I have been busy with surgeries these days. I just forgot that.”

“Come over here. I am still waiting.”

But he simply responded after a short pause, “Sorry, I got a seminar to attend today. Now I am on my way there.”

Aurora gritted to huff, “Why didn’t you tell me about that before you agreed to divorce?”

He seemingly sounded a bit exhausted, “I just got the notice this morning.”

Fiddling with her own fingers, she struggled to hold back her emotion. Then she asked anxiously, “When will you be back?”

Sitting next to the window on a train, Sion fixed his eyes on the scenery outside while contemplating.

Then he answered in low voice, “The day after tomorrow.”

She couldn’t help pouting. It was at the weekend the day after tomorrow. So she gotta reschedule the divorce to the next Monday.

“Okay…” she sounded a bit mad but helpless.

Frowning, Sion asked, seemingly a bit displeased, “Are you in a hurry for that?”

Her attitude felt like she was gonna request for his immediate return to finish the divorce.

But she wasn’t in the mood for talking. Then she merely said “Hmm” and then hung up the call.

While looking back at the court, she simply sighed.

The leave for today was wasted.

Sion maintained a sulky face after she hung up the call.

He continued to stare outside the window, unmoved.

Seeing him finishing his call, one of his colleagues approached to ask curiously, “Dr. Carroll, I remember you weren’t designated to attend the seminar, were you?”

Sion answered with his eyes slightly closed, “I just feel like attending on a whim.”

Soon, the air fell into silence.

Those doctors sitting nearby felt like the atmosphere was getting chilling all of a sudden. They couldn’t help looking at him, who was frowning with his eyes fixed outside the window while wearing a serious expression.

He seemed rather unpredictable.

…

After Sion stood her up this morning, she had been distraught for the rest of the day.

What an egocentric guy!

He never learned to stand in her shoes for even a single time.

She couldn’t believe he actually forgot about divorce!

Frustrated, she put down the files on her desk while complaining about his unconcerned attitude.

He had never been concerned about her will and schedule.

When it was time to get off work, Aurora still slouched on her chair. She didn’t feel like moving at all.

Then her phone suddenly rang.

She got a bit more dispirited when noticing what was calling.

It was Nevaeh.

“Hey, Aurora, have you left the office? Am I bothering you?” Nevaeh asked politely.

“Well, it’s fine.”

“I got the designs you sent me yesterday. Can I have a talk with you face to face?”

Though she wasn’t in the mood for meeting Nevaeh, she had once promised to help design a few outfits for her.

‘Whatever. Just get it done as soon as possible and then divorce Sion.’ She thought to herself.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

As for what was gonna happened next between Sion and Nevaeh, it wouldn’t be her concern.

She took a deep breath and agreed, “Okay.”

When she reached the café, she saw Nevaeh waving at her at the window.

As she sat down and ordered a cup of iced Americano, she saw Neaveh smiling at her.

“How’s your internship? You look good today.” Asked Neveah.

Her bad mood seemed to be dissipated by Nevaeh’s smile. So she replied frankly, “I feel good. After all, it highly pertains to my major. So I adapt to the job soon.”

After a short pause, Aurora asked, “Well, but I am really surprised to be invited to talk to you today. I thought you were gonna attend a seminar.”

Nevaeh took a look at her and asked curiously, “How do you know there is a seminar?”

Aurora fell into a sudden pause, not knowing how to answer.

But Nevaeh didn’t seem to notice what she was thinking. She simply explained, “It isn’t an important seminar. We just assigned it to a few common surgeons to attend. And it isn’t a compulsory one for those with higher levels.”

“Okay…”

Upon hearing that, Aurora was more confused.

So how came Sion was noticed to attend it.

If she was not mistaken, he had been promoted already.

After a while, Nevaeh went straight to the topic.

She took out her phone to browse the pictures of designs sent by Aurora. Then she smiled to suggest, “I do like your designs. But actually, I wanna change the color to match Sion’s personal style.”

While staring at the blush on her face, Aurora remained silent with her head down.

Nevaeh then continued, “I went to his apartment. Though I hadn’t seen his wardrobe, I guess a guy like him may accord the decoration of where he lives with what he wears, right?”

Aurora nodded and then started painting.

After taking a look at it, Nevaeh was surprised to notice that she started to sort out the colors of the decoration style inside Sion’s apartment.

Squinting, Nevaeh started wondering how she knew that. She hadn’t even told her about the style of Sion’s apartment yet.

Not until then did Aurora notice that she actually started her action before she paid any consideration.

She forced out a smile to explain, “Well, when I saw Dr. Carroll last time, I noticed that he was wearing in simple style. After hearing what you said, I just made a presumption about the colors of the decoration in his apartment…”

Nevaeh took a weird look at her but then smiled, “What a talented designer with great care!”

While staring at Aurora’s face, she felt like something suspicious started growing from the inside.
