Mr Carroll Went Crazy After Divorce

Blinking her own eyes, she shook her head with a smile of self-mockery.

Perhaps it was just a namesake.

Besides, his surname should be Robertson.

She didn’t think the real Albie was gonna change his own surname in these years ever since they departed.

She felt like she was fussing about it-she actually confused him with another guy sharing a familiar name.

There wasn’t too much work for her to do on the very first day. She simply followed her colleagues to attend a meeting and got herself familiar with the work itself.

Though she didn’t get involved in exhausting work, she still felt her shoulder a bit soring when it was time to get off work.

When it was half pass six, the atmosphere in the office turned to be a lot more relaxing.

“Aurora, why don’t you join us for dinner tonight? Just make it a welcome for you.”

Aurora appreciated their kindness. So she smiled to reply, “Okay, I know there is a restaurant…”

But suddenly, her phone rang.

It was a call from Sion. So she continued apologetically, “Excuse me for a minute, I got a call.”

She didn’t answer it until she walked to the corridor, “What’s the matter?”

Sion heard someone chatting and laughing through the phone.

It might be some of her classmates in campus, he supposed. So after a short pause, he continued seriously, “Don’t forget to pick up Avada from the vet.”

Avada was the dog Sion kept. Because he had been busy, it was Aurora who took care of him.

Avada was sent to a vet because of diarrhea, where he stayed for a week.

“Oh…” not until then did she recall that it was time to pick him up today.

But now…

She turned around to look at her colleagues chatting happily. She bit her own lips to ask, “Are you busy today?”

Actually, it was a dog given to him by Nevaeh. During all these years, she had been serving like a dog keeper.

Come on, that wasn’t her dog.

What was more, she was about to divorce him. He couldn’t still count on her to keep the dog.

She felt like he gotta learn to shoulder the responsibility to keep the dog himself.

Besides, it was her first day to work. She considered it necessary to develop a friendly relationship with her colleagues. That was why she wanna take part in the dinner.

Sion still remained silent. He didn’t seem to expect such a response from her. He didn’t continue until quite a while later, “I got a surgery twenty minutes later. It took the patient half a year to raise enough money for it. So what’s your emergency?”

Aurora got speechless.

It would be rude if she refused again, she reckoned.

With her lips pressed, she appeared dispirited, “Okay, I will be there to pick him up.”

After hanging up the call, she took a deep breath and then returned to the office.

While they were still talking exuberantly about where to dine, Aurora interrupted apologetically with a smile, “Sorry, guys, I got something urgent to deal with. I am afraid I can’t join for dinner tonight.”

Upon hearing that, they looked a bit frustrated. But they also noticed the frustration on her face.

“It’s okay. Let’s make it next time.”

…

As she walked out of the building, she hailed herself a taxi to go to the vet’s.

Ever since Avada was born, he had been receiving treatment here whenever he was sick. So the vet here knew both Aurora and Sion.

“Hi, Dr. Moss, I am here to pick up Avada.” Aurora greeted to the doctor at the front desk.

After a while, Dr. Moss walked over with a Border Collie of meteorite color.Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

He ruffled the hair on Avada’s head and said warmly, “Avada, time to go home. Go for your mommy.”

Then he said to Aurora, “Avada has just recovered from diarrhea. I suggest replacing the common dog food with something soft.”

Aurora nodded and then took over the dog leash, “Thanks, doc.”

Seeing Aurora was here, Avada lunged toward her thigh excitedly with his tails wagging.

Dr. Moss smiled and asked, “Why are you coming alone? Where’s your boyfriend?”

He remembered there was a guy coming with her last time.

Aurora tightened the leash. She smiled to cover up her emotion, “Well, we broke up.”

However, Avada seemed to notice what she meant. He nudged her calf with his snout.

Amused, Aurora gently patted his head and said goodbye to Dr. Moss, “Doc, I gotta go. Thanks for tending him these days.”

As she reached home with Avada, she squatted down to play with him for a few minutes.

After paying a careful check, she noticed that his fur looked shiny. It seemed that the vet had tended him pretty well.

“Okay, okay. Avada, chill. I gotta prepare some food for you.”

After dinner, she rested on the couch to watch TV with Avada.

Sion didn’t return until 10:00 PM, with his hair slightly wet.

It seemed that he took a shower after surgery before coming back home.

Well, he must be missing Avada, she reckoned.

Exhausted, Sion had been standing for more than ten hours because of surgery.

He took a gulp of water as soon as he entered. After patting and playing with Avada for minutes, he looked at Aurora, “You are gonna graduate, right? So do you still have courses to attend at night?”

Aurora explained frankly, “I wasn’t having courses. Today I started my internship in T-Shine. It’s my first day to work.”

Sion frowned.

He suddenly recalled that during the lunch last time, the guy named Alex once told that he got an internship for her.

He bent over to thump the glass onto the table.

“Why haven’t you told me about that?”

Of course, Aurora could tell he was mad.

But she was rather confused. What was he madding about?

In a muddle, she asked, “Well…it’s nothing important…I know you are busy. So I didn’t consider it necessary to have you noticed.”

Sion massaged his brows to relax himself. He didn’t continue until quite a while later, “Don’t you remember my dad once promised an internship in his company to you?”

Awkward, she felt like being overwhelmed by helplessness.

It seemed that everyone around her, including Sion himself, supposed that she gotta rely on him to live on.

“No, I can get myself an internship.” She looked away to avert her eyes from his facial expression.

Before he continued, she added, “We are gonna divorce next week, after which we will live our own lives. It’s time to make a clear cut between us.”

Sion felt like getting choked.

Frowning, he stared at her pretty profile in silence.

Avada seemed to notice the atmosphere was getting weird. He stopped jumping around. Instead, he laid prone to rest at a corner.

At this moment, someone rang the doorbell.

Surprised, both Aurora and Sion looked over there.

Who was gonna pay a visit so late?

Suddenly, both of them told the answer from the typical voice-it was Nevaeh!
