Chapter 71 Sion Saw Albie Kiss Aurora
Aurora didn’t think much about it and immediately agreed, “Okay, I’ll come to you. Are you in the company?”
Now no matter who called her, he was her savior. It’s fine to go anywhere.
Sion listened to her promise without hesitation. His expression hardened instantly.
Nevaeh did not notice his countenance, looking at Aurora and teasing her: “Aurora, your brother is so gentle to you!”
Aurora put away her phone and forced a smile. “Then you guys enjoy your meal. I’ll be going now.”
She got up, ready to leave, after these words. Nevaeh stopped her behind and said, “Aurora!”
She paused, turned her head, and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“You can call me sister Nevaeh from now on. Sion and I will take good care of you for Professor Robertson.”
Aurora did not respond, but slightly dropped her gaze, turned her head, and strode away.
Nevaeh looked at her back and showed a still broadly grinning face.
Aurora had not divorced Sion yet because of Uncle Bailey’s illness.
As long as he got treatment, or…
There was simply no treatment.
Then their marriage would end immediately.
Her smile grew wider. Nevaeh picked up a knife and fork to put a sweet and sour rib in Sion’s plate. “Sion, have some more.”
……
Aurora had just arrived at the office when she saw Albie standing by the car with his hands in his pockets.
That kind of noble appearance was very eye-catching.
When he saw Aurora walk over, he stepped forward and stroked her head. “Where did you go for dinner?”
Speaking of eating, she remembered the feeling of “suffocation” just now.
She quickly and heavily exhaled, “Forget it. This meal is more harmful than not eating it.”
Albie saw that she was indeed in a low mood and looked like she was being suppressed. He suggested, “Then I will take you for a ride.”
“A ride?”
“Uh-huh.”
Albie chuckled and naturally pulled her wrist to get into the car.
As the car started, the roof was also slowly down. She was in the wind, only to know that the drive was really a drive in the wind.
But this way could really release stress and relieve a depressed person. She had the impression that she was blowing to become more sober.
When Albie looked at her raised hand and streaming hair, he could not help but reveal a gentle look, with eyebrows raised.
“Be careful.”
He took a hand and pulled her, but there was no reproach.
Aurora let out a long sigh of relief. Her mind and body relaxed a lot. “Brother Albie, thank you.”
Although her brother still had many things he didn’t tell her, such as why he had left then and why he had changed his surname from Robertson to Doyle…
But she knew that he would always be her brother and would be good to her forever.
Albie looked at her smiling eyes and said softly, “Don’t thank me, my silly girl.”
After Albie drove around the street, he pulled over to the side of the road, unscrewed a bottle of water, and handed it to Aurora.
“I wanted to ask you the first time I met you. Why are you so thin now? Are you intentionally skipping meals and trying to lose weight?”
Aurora took a sip of water. “I ate so much! I ate so much but did not gain weight. Other girls would be so envious!”
There was a smug look on her face that made Albie laugh.
“Guess what I have in my hand?”
He put a fist in front of Aurora, his eyes as bright as the stars.
“What is it?”
Aurora smiled and touched her chin. Her eyes roved and said, “I don’t know.”
Albie raised his eyebrows and opened his slender hands.
A piece of caramel lay in the palm of his hand.
The packaging and taste were the same as the ones Sion gave him when she was scalded.
Aurora really liked this sweet taste once.
But somewhere along the way, she felt blue at the sight of this caramel.
She slowly wiped away the expression on her face, not knowing how to react.
Initially, she should be grateful that her brother remembered her favorite cAva.
But she did grow up. Perhaps it is time to give up this bad habit of having a sweet tooth.
It’s like forgetting someone she was not supposed to miss.
Albie saw that she was motionless. He was a little confused. “What’s wrong? I remember when you were a little girl, you liked this brand of butterscotch cAva the most, didn’t you?”
Her eyes glistened with tears. “Albie, so many years have passed. I want to try something new.”
She picked up the Ava and looked at it seriously. “Can we not eat it anymore?”
“Okay.”
Albie saw that she was obviously depressed and didn’t ask why. He raised his chin and said, “Let’s go somewhere else.”
“Where else?”
He opened the car door for her. “You will know it once you get there?”
Aurora was surprised that Albie would bring her to ride the merry-go-round.
As a child, the older brother Albie would often take her out to play secretly. Every time they went to the amusement park, she used to ride a merry-go-round and became happy.
“Albie… How old am I? Aside from the children, no adults rode on the merry-go-round.”
Albie gazed at her. The smile in his eyes was like a lamp at night-bright and heartwarming.
“Adults don’t ride on it. But my little girl can do it.”
Aurora blinked.
When they were younger, Albie used to refer to her as his little girl.
His gentle and mellow voice was firm as he said, “Aurora, no matter how old you are, you will always be my little girl. With me, you will always have the right to ride on the merry-go-round.”
Aurora was moved, and the tears sparkled in her eyes.
It had been too long since she had felt it.
She sniffed and rushed to the merry-go-round happily. “Then, Albie, sit with me!”
……
After playing around for a while, Aurora was tired. Albie bought her a bucket of popcorn and stuffed her into the car. “Wait for me here for a while.”
Aurora chewed popcorn and soon saw a big bear walking in the distance.
Finally the bear stood in front of the car, and the smile in her voice could be easily heard, “Albie, do you want to play the game Guess Who I Am?”
Albie’s face emerged from behind the big bear doll. It’s a little helpless face. He stuffed the doll into the car.
“I promised to buy you a doll every time we went out to play. Now that you have grown up, I want to buy the biggest doll.”
Aurora couldn’t help laughing, and her heart was touched.
How lucky she was! She had such a good brother!
Albie got in the car and sent her back to Carroll Manor.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
Aurora suddenly thought of something. “Albie, does this count as neglecting duties? The boss is leading his employee to skip work.”
He was the boss, and he had been crazy to spend the afternoon with her. Meanwhile, she had forgotten all about work.
Albie turned to look at her and said matter-of-factly, “It’s called combining work and rest.”
Aurora pouted. “If that’s the case, doesn’t that mean you won’t have to deduct your salary this afternoon?”
“Deduct.”
Albie seemed to be impartial but said consolingly, “I’ll make it up to you in private.”
Aurora burst out laughing. The mood of melancholy due to the meal during the day had changed.
Before they knew it, the car stopped at the gate of Carroll Manor.
Albie will stuff a doll bear into Aurora’s arms and ruffled her hair.
“Today I just sent you back. To be empty-handed is not polite. Give my best to your parents. Then I’ll make a formal visit when I am available.”
Gu Nian nodded. “Okay.”
The Big Bear was taller than she was, and she carried it around in a funny way.
Albie looked at her and could not help but laugh out loud.
Aurora also laughed.
Neither of them noticed a tall figure standing by the French window of the balcony on the second floor.
They stopped laughing. Aurora said earnestly, “Albie, I am very happy today. Thank you.”
Albie gently pinched her face. “If you keep being so polite with me, I’ll get angry.”
She smiled, “Then I… Go in first. Please drive slowly. Tell me when you get home.”
Albie stared at her and suddenly pressed the bear’s head on her face. He leaned over slightly and planted a kiss on her forehead.
“Bye. Good night.”
Aurora was stunned and raised her hand to touch the forehead that he had kissed.
On second thought, she realized it was normal because they used to say good night in this manner. It wasn’t a bother for her.
“Good night.”
Then she turned and entered the courtyard.
On the second floor stood Sion, who saw this scene. His eyes became cold, and he turned into the room.
When he heard the sound of the door closing in Aurora’s room, he still could not process his emotions.
Sion knew better than anyone else that since he had already chosen to be responsible for Nevaeh, there should be a clear separation between Aurora and him. There was no reason to restrict her anymore.
But…
He looked at Aurora’s closed door and the annoying bear on the sofa. Recalling what had happened just now, he felt a surge of emotions in his chest…
