Nevaeh's heart was alarmed again by Sion's words. Was he turned up this morning because something bad happened?
"It's about my father."
Sion felt restless when talking about this. He untied the clothes button and leaned back against the sofa. His voice sounded helpless and tired, "my father was ill."
"Mr Carroll? What... what happened?"
Nevaeh clasped her hands so tightly on her knees that her skin was even scratched red by her. But she didn't feel pain at all, as if she could only pretend to stay calm by doing so.
What would Sion say?
What happened to Bailey?
If nothing happened to him, what had he told to Sion?!
Nevaeh felt like she were a criminal waiting for the trial. She couldn't stay calm until Sion continued.
"Actually... my father has been pretending to be ill."
What a relief! She was out of danger then.
"Pretended?" Nevaeh changed her face immediately, and asked incredulously, "why did he do that?"
"Because he doesn't want me to divorce Aurora."
Sion wiped his face and bent his hands on his knees, murmuring, "what he was thinking about? What made him believe this can save our marriage?"
At the same time, his heart was also asking why it still failed... after all of these happened?
Nevaeh blinked with a faint light sparking in her eyes.
Was it the reason?
"Sion..." Nevaeh sat down beside him, hesitated for a while but still held his arms, comforted softly, "don't be mad about it. Though it's Mr Carroll's fault, think about it, it's also a piece of good news to know that he is safe and sound, isn't it?"
But bailey, perish that thought!
Your effort was in vain. Sion and Aurora would finally divorce even if you really died!
Sion's head was propped up on both hands, he was struggling with the pain caused by a headache. He responded in a low voice, "thank you."
He would probably let it go if it was just Bailey who kept cheating on him. He understood.
However, what made him angry was Aurora also got involved!
He didn't know what kind of role she was playing, but judging from their reaction last night, he was sure that Aurora certainly knew about this from the beginning!
He once trusted her so much...
"It's all right. Cheer up."
Nevaeh pulled his hands off to her hands, softly rubbed them and said, "You got drunk again last night, didn't you? I'll make a cup of tea for you to sober up later. I've prepared new towels and toothbrushes for you in the bathroom. Get yourself cleaned first, okay?"
Sion turned around and stared at her with dark eyes. He didn't say anything.
Nevaeh smiled and shook his shoulders, "hurry up. You have to go to work later. Or our president wants to bunk off it today? No, he won't do that."
"I see."
Looking at her enchanting smile, Sion felt a sense of loss in his heart, which was literately different from the depression he felt last night.
Nevaeh... might be a wonderful companion to him in the future.
A smile appeared on Nevaeh's face when Sion walked into the bathroom.
Their relationship continued to heat up as days went by. Since he was willing to take a bath here today, the day would come soon when he would stay overnight at her house.
