Grace was eating the chips loudly and nodding seriously. When their big sister looked at that big brother, her eyes seemed glowing!
"You have to keep it a secret for me." Aurora stretched out a little finger to hook hers and made an agreement with her, "You can tell no one, okay?"
In Grace's mind, a secret that needed to hook fingers was the top secret. She immediately nodded solemnly and promised, "Okay! I promise not to tell anyone!"
"Good girl, now go drink some water!"
Grace ran away laughing.
As soon as she left, Aurora's mood turned bad and kept getting worse uncontrollably. She wondered if even a child could tell who she liked, how Sion could never understand that.
The sky darkened gradually. The three of them had dinner in the orphanage.
The kids got along with Sion and Albie for a while, so they began to speak boldly.
"Big brothers, when will you come to visit us next time?"
"When will Aurora come again?"
"Aurora... can you not leave us again?"
They just started talking one after another, without withdrawing but also making listeners feel bad.
"I promise you that I will come to visit you with big brothers once we have free time, okay?"
"... Okay then." The volume of their voice obviously dropped.
The dean helped to coax the kids. Finally, he coaxed them back to the house.
Aurora breathed a sigh of relief, turned to look at Albie, and asked, "Albie, be careful on your way back."
"Don't you need me to send you?"
"It's okay, no worries." Aurora shook her head. Both Sion and her were going to go back to Carroll Manor, so it would be too wired to sit separately. Besides, they came here together anyway.
Sion snorted slightly, "Does Mr. Doyle think my car can't carry people?"
Aurora was speechless now, she felt like the war between them had escalated. In order to avoid it escalating again, Aurora smiled awkwardly and said, "Brother, I'll just go with Sion, we are heading to the same place. Take care of yourself on your way back." After speaking, she waved her hand to signal him to leave quickly.
Albie was very accommodating, smiled dotingly and said, "Okay, get rest early after you go home." He opened his car door, got in the car and left after speaking.
"We..."
Before Aurora finished her sentence, Sion gave her an indifferent glance, opened the driver's seat and sat in it.
Aurora didn't know what to say. She couldn't figure out what Sion was thinking!
...
In Nevaeh's apartment, she was wearing silk pyjamas, standing in front of the window with a glass of red wine. Her hazy eyes reflected the neon lights outside the window, making it impossible to guess her true emotions.
After a while, the phone in her hand rang. She picked it up without looking at it, her voice was indifferent, "Tell me."
"The two of them were together all day together. After leaving the hospital, they went to the Children's Welfare Institute. They just returned home and didn't come out again."
