Chapter 270 The Little Girl’s Idea
As soon as he walked out, Sion saw Aurora sitting at the dining table, eating a sandwich and glancing
upstairs from time to time.
Sion raised his eyebrows curiously for a moment before turning his gaze back to Aurora's face. Despite
her calm demeanour while having breakfast, her heart was racing and she was listening intently for any
sounds coming from upstairs. It wasn't yet their usual wake-up time.
Just as she was thinking this, footsteps sounded across from her. She looked up and saw the man with
a comical face walking out unchanged.
Hadn't he noticed the "work" on his face?
Aurora felt secretly pleased that she had gotten one over on him.
"Who let this rat get in here?" She sneered with obvious sarcasm, glancing at him before looking away
as if he didn't matter at all. "Amy, have Lewys find someone to kick this rat out!"
In reality, she was just pretending to be angry and there wasn't even anyone named Amy in the living
room.
Sion calmly walked up to her side and leaned down as if nothing had happened.
"Are you shy now? I'm standing right here. Where did the rat come from?" He said with a smile before
sitting next to Aurora and picking up her coffee cup for a sip.
"..."
Aurora widened her eyes when she saw what he picked up.
"Hey, that's my cup."
She snatched back her coffee cup directly then wrinkled her nose in disgust after taking a look at it
before placing it aside. In an ironic tone of voice, she said, "Mr Carroll, you are supposed to be CEO
but why don't you care more about your image?"
Sion smiled warmly, thinking her angry face was likeable. He reached over and brushed aside some
hair blocking Aurora's face gently then spoke softly, "We've always been close between us, why bother
about just one cup of coffee?"
"You..."
Aurora wanted desperately refute but suddenly realized something wasn't quite right. What did Sion
mean by 'close'? Did he remember what happened five years ago?
Thinking about this made her blush furiously. She opened her mouth but didn't know how or what
exactly should be said next. Sion saw Aurora's face turn red, and he continued to tease her, "If you
care so much about your image, will you help me take care of my appearance from now on?"
"Who said I would help you?"
Aurora was angry and looked at his ugly face without feeling happy. "I'm not the same species as a
rat!"
Sion raised an eyebrow. Despite his messy face, his temperament was unaffected. He suddenly
chuckled and leaned closer to her. "Since you've turned me into a rat, you have to take responsibility
for me..."
His voice was magnetic with a slight upward inflexion.
Aurora watched as his face got closer and felt the heat emanating from him. He still had the energy to
talk nonsense even though he had a fever.
"What's it got to do with me?!" She moved back slightly, "You can handle your problems yourself!"
Sion stretched out his arm and locked her in his embrace by placing it on the edge of the sofa.
"How is this not your business? Isn't this your masterpiece?" He leaned in even closer until they were
almost touching lips.
"My face has been ruined... Shouldn't you take responsibility?" questioned Sion.
This distance was too dangerous for Aurora; she couldn't help but think of last night. She panicked and
said angrily, "It can be washed off!"
When she regained consciousness, Sion was already smiling at her with gentle eyes.
"So you knew all along! And you lied to me just so that I would take responsibility for it."
No wonder! He wanted an excuse to touch her!
The more Aurora thought about it, the angrier she became. She pushed him hard but didn't budge him.
Sion looked down at her. Whether because of fever or because Aurora was beside him, his heartbeat
grew stronger than usual.
"But this is what you drew. What if I don't want to wash it off?"
"..." Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
His black eyes seemed like they could suck people in.
Aurora originally wanted revenge against Sion but ended up being played by him instead. She pushed
him away heavily while saying, "Do whatever you want! Since there's nothing wrong with you now then
hurry up and leave. We have a pretty small place."
While the two of them were arguing, Morgan and Theodore had already woken up upstairs.
Theodore looked at his sister, who wanted to go downstairs so badly, and quickly took out a teddy bear
from beside him and handed it to her.
"Momo, Mommy's busy right now. We can't disturb her."
"Can't we just go check?" Morgan blinked innocently. "Theo, didn't we used to say good morning to
Mommy every day?"
Although she said that, she had her selfish thoughts in mind. She seemed to have heard her Dad's
voice just now. She wanted to see if she succeeded in bringing her mom and dad together. Theodore
saw the hopeful look on Morgan's face and knew what she was thinking. Although the voices
downstairs weren't loud, he could tell that Sion hadn't left yet. He also wanted to go down there and
teach Sion a lesson but it was more important not to let Morgan get caught.
"We can say good morning later." He held his sister's hand and walked towards the unfinished Lego set
from yesterday while trying to distract her. "Momo, let's finish building this Lego set quickly okay? When
Mommy is done being busy later on we can surprise her!"
Morgan glanced at the door with a hint of disappointment in her heart. She was so close; she could
almost see Daddy.
But for now, she couldn't let Theodore catch onto what she was thinking, so all she could do was
agree.
"Okay! Theo is amazing; we'll finish it quickly!"
As they spoke Morgan suddenly had an idea. She said while patting Theodore's clothes lightly with one
hand while pouting playfully, "Building Legos is tiring. I want to listen to music!"
Theodore turned around looking puzzled, "Now?"
"Yes," said Morgan innocently, "I want us to listen again like yesterday."
Theodore initially wanted to refuse but seeing how much hopefulness there was on his little sister's
face, he gave in.
"Alright then, but keep your voice down."
"Okay!" exclaimed Morgan happily, as she went over towards their tablet device which played their
favourite song.
It used to be played often when she was still living with Sion. Thus, the smart girl believed that but her
dad would surely recognize it if he heard it again. If SHE went down right now then both her mom and
brother would be unhappy.
Before playing the music, Morgan sneakily glanced at her brother and made an apologetic expression.
With mischievous hands, she quickly turned up the volume to its maximum level.
In an instant, the sound of music echoed throughout the entire room.
