Chapter 62 Today Let’s Get This Over.
Blue veins stood out on Sion Carroll's forehead, daze flooded him. He forced his eyes to shut,
collecting his memory from start.
Now he remembered.
Seth Harvey did called Aurora Robertson who did not show up finally…
She turned down Seth Harvey on the phone.
Then…
Nevaeh Burns called him and he told her the address.
"Keep away from the other man, please."
"There is only you in my heart, always."
"Do you love me?"
"Surely I am loving you."
So the words were not from Aurora Robertson, not her…
Sion Carroll turned dull and somber, with a touch of panic, so slight that he might fail to get aware of. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
"Urh?" Nevaeh Burns unfolded her eyelids, soon closed again as if she was worn out, and asked, "Who
else could be? I was worn out by you, can we just go back to sleep?"
His behavior was a proof of his lack of memory. Otherwise how could he listen to her so long?
But did he think the woman was Aurora Robertson?
A touch of melancholy rose in her eyes for the question, and soon flew away.
Sion Carroll closed his hand into a fist and withdrew finally.
"Have you been with me all along…last night?"
Did Aurora Robertson not show up from the start to the end?
"Yes," Nevaeh Burns nodded shyly and moved deeper in the duvet, saying, "I just came after your call
and then you.. didn't allow me to leave."
"…Sorry," Sion Carroll apologized.
He sealed his lips into a line, frowning.
The uncontrollable headache came to him like a suffocating tide. With a silent sigh, he sprang up and
picked up the robe besides the bed, and slipped it on quickly.
But Sion Carroll was frozen next minute.
A harsh scarlet tread of blood spots lay on the white bed sheet, which hit him like a thunder. He had not
noticed it until he opened the duvet at his side.
The stare at Nevaeh Burns reposing on the bed filled his expression with guilt, while his eyes were as
dark as a bottomless gulf.
He could be sure that he had mistaken the woman under the effect of alcohol.
But no matter what, that was his fault consigning Nevaeh Burns to a victim.
And Aurora Robertson.
The woman in his heart was reluctant even just to pay him for a visit.
"Sion," Nevaeh Burns said with her eyes full of love, "This, was out from my willingness, so you don't
need to care."
"Nevaeh , there is one thing I need to confess to you," Sion Carroll said, looking into her with a pair of
misty eyes, "I'm married."
The confession was not surprising but she had to pretend she was surprised. So with a quick reaction,
she covered her face in shock, with her hand clenching the bed sheet hardly.
"What…did you say?"
With a slight frown, Sion Carroll repeated, "I'm married, with Aurora Robertson."
"This is impossible! For you…aren't you…"
Nevaeh Burns was stunned, with tears thronging out and streaming down from her eyes.
"Sion, tell me that is a lie, please. How is it possible…for you have been married with Aurora! I have
loved you for years. Why! Why did you hide from me? I won't consign myself to such an embarrassing
position if I know, and no matter how much I love you! Now what am I to you?"
The room was resonating with Nevaeh Burns's cry.
But Sion Carroll seemed unable to take stock of what she was talking.
He watched the corner of the room without focus. He looked blank on his expression, a sort of reaction
for a human being overwhelming with shock after a great blow.
When he opened his eyes and found Nevaeh Burns lying besides, he felt his heart was vacuumed for
no reason.
The two drops of tear fell on his back of palm, which gave him a slight tingle and drew back his
consciousness.
He drew out some tissue and handed it to Nevaeh Burns instinctively. He opened his mouth but closed
it again, at length he uttered it out, "…I will be responsive to you."
His voice could not be lower, just like his emotion which was down to earth.
Though as a firm materialist as Sion Carroll, he could not stop his question if this was destiny.
The fact that he had slept Nevaeh Burns was undeniable.
And this time he might have to officially bye with Aurora Robertson.
Anyhow, this was not the marriage Aurora Robertson wanted and she was eager to flee from him.
How about just seizing the chance and correcting the mistakes, to put their lives back to the right orbit?
That was to release her.
Nevaeh Burns besides dried up her tears, concealed her emotion and inquired in melancholy, "Being
responsive? By how? I never expect a day I will become a mistress in destroying other's marriage."
With his head burring, Sion Carroll kept silent for while before opened his mouth, saying, "Our
marriage, between Aurora and me, was not out of love. And we are just a spouse in license. According
to our original plan, today was the last day of our marriage."
"Really?"
With a flicker in the eyes, Nevaeh Burns asked, "Are you sure this won't hurt Aurora Robertson? Since
she is quite young, without families, she should treat you as her brother... Actually, I'm fine if you are
going to keep on caring of her."
With a slight swing, Sion Carroll denied, "She won't."
Aurora Robertson never treated him as a brother.
And the man of her dream brother who she kept waiting for years was Albie Doyle.
Nevaeh Burns just made a quick, obedient response. As a good actress, she did not forget to create a
flush on her face, a normal reaction for a girl who was just aware of being naked in the duvet.
With a quick glance, Sion Carroll removed his sight from her with frown.
