Mr Carroll Went Crazy After Divorce

She quickly tried on the screen after glancing in the direction of the bathroom.

Sion would need a while to deal with the wine stain on his clothes, but if she entered the wrong password, there would be a prompt on the screen. So she had to hurry.

His birthday?

Nope.

Feeling her hand numb from the vibration of an incorrect password attempt, Aurora thought for a moment about Nevaeh’s birthday. A string of numbers quickly came to mind, but it still wasn’t right.

Could it be his mother’s birthday?

Nope one of them was right.

She racked her brain but had no clue. Sion’s life was so strict; how could he randomly set a group of numbers as his phone password?

Aurora looked in the direction of the bathroom and became increasingly anxious. Suddenly, an absurd idea popped into her head. But she denied herself the next second.

While thinking this way in her mind, Aurora’s fingers uncontrollably pressed several digits. Suddenly, there was a turn on-screen and Aurora stared at it incredulously.

There was blankness in her mind for a moment. Even heartbeats stopped momentarily along with fingers pressing down digits suspended mid-air.

Her shocked look appeared on the bright mobile phone screen before she snapped out of it. Later, she realized that now wasn’t time for these thoughts. She needed to quickly check if there were any useful information on his phone.

She quickly flipped through his message box and call records but found no unusual messages until she opened an unmarked text message, which caught sight of something strange. There was only an address written in it.

“Highland Resort Warehouse”.

This was a new project developed by Carroll Group that hadn’t been opened yet.

Could he have hidden criminals there?

Aurora felt doubtful but didn’t have time for more thinking. After checking other messages without finding anything unusual, she turned off his mobile phone and put it back where he left it earlier. She secretly noted down that address, feeling uneasy deep within herself.

“What’s in the warehouse at Highland Resort?” she thought to herself.

After a moment, Sion returned from the restroom with only a faint water stain left on his shirt, where the wine had spilt earlier. He glanced over at Aurora and saw that her expression was even worse than before, causing him to feel concerned.

“Aurora?”

Sion moved closer to her, furrowing his brow slightly as he looked at her quizzically, “Is something bothering you?”

“No,” Aurora replied with an unnatural tone as she glanced briefly at him before turning back to look at the food on their table.

“It seems like fate doesn’t want us to drink today, so let’s finish up and get back to work this afternoon.”

She had already put down her utensils, clearly indicating that she was finished eating.

“Okay,” Sion said reluctantly. He wished they could spend more time together since their interaction today had been much more harmonious than before.

But when he thought about how much progress they’d made in their relationship compared to before, he couldn’t help but feel satisfied. He took a sip of water and looked over at Aurora again. “Are you full? Do you want some dessert?”

At this point, however, Aurora was lost in thought and didn’t have any interest in talking or eating anymore. “No thanks.” Replied she.

Her mind was tangled up with all sorts of things that needed sorting out quickly.

“Alright then, let’s go.” Said Sion.

After leaving the restaurant together, they parted ways immediately once outside.

Aurora drove home alone while Cameron stayed behind playing games with two little kids who were visiting for the day.

When she arrived home, Cameron walked out of the house with the kids.

“Why are you back so early?”

Aurora ignored his teasing tone and spoke seriously instead, “I found a place that might be problematic.”

Cameron raised an eyebrow curiously as he led one child into the house while holding another by hand.

“What did you find out?”

“Highland Resort.”

Aurora poured herself a glass of water and drank most of it down quickly before explaining everything including her previous suspicions regarding Sion’s involvement in whatever might be going on there.

“So I plan to go and confirm it myself tomorrow,” Aurora said.

Cameron noticed her slight fear and said, “I’ll go with you. I don’t trust you going alone.”

Aurora looked at him, feeling warm inside. She didn’t refuse in the end.

The next morning, after settling Theodore and Morgan, Aurora got in the car with Cameron and headed towards Highland Resort.

Cameron drove while fiddling with the navigation system for a moment before casually asking, “Why is this place so remote?”

“That’s a new resort developed by Carroll Group. The whole project occupies two mountainsides and it’s their biggest investment project this year. They’re promoting it as a peaceful natural getaway.” Aurora explained.

“Hmm, not a bad idea,” Cameron commented.

Sometimes going against the norm could be good business.

Aurora nodded but then suddenly felt uncomfortable in her stomach.

“Wait…”

Cameron turned to look at her and asked with concern, “What’s wrong? Are you feeling sick?”

“… It’s just that my stomach feels uneasy.”

Aurora happened to notice a mall not far away from her and she said, “Can you park over there so I can use the restroom.”

Cameron changed lanes to pull into the mall parking lot with hazard lights on.

Aurora got out of the car quickly but felt embarrassed about having to explain herself further, “I’ll be back soon.”

She took her phone inside with relief that they were still within city limits; if they had gone further into rural areas or up into the mountains, she would have been more mortified if something happened again.

Meanwhile, Cameron waited outside idly, scrolling through his phone until Aurora returned shortly afterwards.

“Let’s go.” Said Aurora.

Cameron put away his phone and walked around to open her door for her. Feeling helpless against his chivalry skills, she could only smile wryly before getting in beside him again. Just at that moment, Nevaeh happened to be right around the corner and she saw them.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
