Chapter 292 Theodore’s Refuse
Sion’s voice was deep and magnetic as if carrying a current that struck straight to her heart. Aurora tightened her grip on her purse and only after a while did she feel the strong beat of her own heart.
“Mr Carroll, did you forget that I am already with Cameron?”
She remembered last time Sion had misunderstood that she had a son with Cameron and planned to have a wedding.
“You’re not married yet, are you?”
Sion felt a pang in his heart and didn’t want her to bring up that man. Every time he thought about her past relationship with Cameron and even the fact that they had a son together, he felt an endless sense of regret.
He regretted that he didn’t find her earlier and that he failed to protect her.
Sion looked into her eyes and said seriously, “As long as you are not married yet, I still have a chance.”
He hesitated for a moment, then took hold of Aurora’s hand.
“Aurora, would you like to?”
Aurora’s hand was held in his palm, and suddenly, it was as if all the surrounding sounds disappeared completely. The entire world seemed to only consist of the two of them.
She saw the man in front of her; she could see herself in his eyes, which were overflowing with deep affection. She even had a feeling of truly being deeply loved by him for many years. This feeling suddenly emerged, and she was startled.
Almost as a reflex action, she jerked her hand away from his grip and hide it behind herself, with a flicker in her eyes as she looked downwards.
Theodore had changed his clothes and was being led out by the staff. He waved to them.
Aurora’s face was tinged with a faint blush, unwilling to admit that she had indeed wavered for a moment just now. Looking at Theodore now, she inexplicably calms down slowly.
Thinking about the kidnappers and Nevaeh, as well as Sion’s relationship with Nevaeh, she suddenly turned her head and spoke coldly, “Never mind whether Cameron and I are married or not, Mr Carroll, you should focus on resolving Nevaeh first.”
There was a flash of excitement passing through in Sion’s eyes.
Was Aurora willing to give him a chance?
Without even thinking, he almost immediately replied, “There’s nothing between Nevaeh and me. Are you saying that you agree with me?”
Aurora frowned upon hearing the words.
She didn’t believe that, so she said directly, “No.”
Sion thought she was jealous. It seemed like Aurora still cared about him. With that thought in mind, he didn’t say anything else.
Not long after, Theodore came up from below. He interacted intimately with the dolphins and fed them some fish while taking many photos with them. He was beaming when he came up.
“Daddy Mommy! The dolphins kissed me!”
“Mommy saw it.”
Aurora laughed and helped him fix his hair. It wasn’t a wasted trip today.
She cherished this rare happy time together and even occasionally showed a smile towards Sion.
However, it was time for Aurora to take Theodore away now. She straightened up and said with a smile, “Morgan, why don’t you go back home with Mommy today? Mommy hasn’t lived with you yet.”
Sion was surprised by her suggestion but thought of using this opportunity to spend more time with Aurora and said, “If you want to stay for a day or two, it’s fine too.”
Theodore lost interest when he heard this because if he went home with his mother now, he would be sent abroad without being able to get revenge on his father.
He hugged Sion’s hand tightly while pouting, “Daddy, I still want to go home with you. We can visit Mommy next time.”
Aurora couldn’t believe that her son refused her offer. She looked at him in shock, while Sion felt reluctant seeing Morgan act like this towards Aurora but suggested, “Since Morgan wants to go back home then let’s listen to what she wants. We can visit your place next time along with meeting your son.”
While speaking, Sion had already held Theodore in his arms, who dared not to look at Aurora and was lying on Sion’s shoulder playing dead.
“Morgan,”
Aurora could only give up helplessly.
When they got out of the restaurant, Sion wanted to drive Aurora home but she refused.
“I’ll drive myself.” She waved her hand and said, “Then I’ll go.”
“Be careful on the road Mommy!”
He knew that his mom had to work and he had to continue staying with Sion, but it wouldn’t be long until they saw each other again anyway.
Aurora touched his little face and smiled before glancing at the man beside them. “See you.”
Then she turned around and got into her car.
Sion watched her car leave, reminiscing about their day together for a while in silence. He chuckled to himself before settling Theodore in his safety seat in the back.
The next morning, David had just arrived at the company when he was hit with unexpected news from his secretary.
He gathered his words carefully and took a deep breath as he walked towards the CEO’s office.
Sion was looking at the quarterly financial report when he heard someone come in. He looked up briefly before asking, “How’s everything going?”
David reported on what was happening over there first since Sion asked. Things were progressing smoothly so no one went into too much detail.
“Hmm… if there’s nothing else then go rest for a bit.” With that said, Sion didn’t say anything else as he lowered his head to make notes on the report.
David stood silently without smiling or speaking while avoiding eye contact with his boss.
“Mr Carroll, SeaOasis Company has an issue.” He almost held his breath as he spoke these words out.
Upon hearing this news, Sion stopped what he was doing and raised his head. “What kind of issue?”Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
After taking a deep breath, David said, “Jordan Wade seemed to have a more preferred partner, and he said there will be some more time for their examination before signing.”
All the details of this project had been discussed before, and the signing of the contract was still to be done.
Sion’s face darkened conspicuously.
Jordan Wade from SeaOasis Company seemed like someone who wouldn’t go back on his word easily. So if he said that they wanted to re-evaluate things before signing a contract all of a sudden, that meant something must have happened behind the scenes that influenced their decision or prevented them from signing with Carroll Group intentionally.
“Have you found out which part of it is causing problems?”
David just returned and he hadn’t had time yet but rushed over immediately after hearing about it this morning
“I’m going right now!”
David hurriedly left Sion’s office after reporting this information.
This project wasn’t a must-have for the Carroll Group, but what bothered Sion about the unexpected turn of events was why they suddenly changed their mind.
