Chapter 92 Were They Kissing?
Swallowing, he felt like being overwhelmed with grudge.
Somehow, he wanna run away.
So he simply stood up to say, “I got some business to deal with in the office. I gotta go.”This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
Then, regardless of Nevaeh’s earnest request to let him stay, he walked away without turning back.
Watching him disappear, she felt like being deserted.
She couldn’t help wondering if his feelings for Aurora had grown so strong that he actually found it intolerable to accept the fact that she was about to fall for another guy.
But still, he could do nothing about it but to face it, she believed.
There wouldn’t be any possibility that he could fix his relationship with Aurora, Nevaeh told herself.
From now on, she was meant to capture his heart.
As coldness faded away from her eyes. She returned to her seat decently and continued with both the fruit and TV.
…
After finishing the follow-up press conference, Aurora joined her colleagues to pack things up.
But at this moment, they all paid a different look at her.
Just a moment ago, their boss had announced in front of the camaras that she had been the most important one to him.
From their perspective, it was literally a breaking news.
They were actually right about their former presumption-Aurora was more than a sister to Albie.
Actually, she should be called Mrs. Doyle!
“Oh, Aurora, just leave it to us. It’s okay.”
In their point of view, it would be disrespectful to leave those chores for ‘Mrs. Doyle’ to handle.
“But I still got enough energy to deal with it…” Aurora looked a bit confused.
“Oh, Mr. Doyle!” one of them suddenly stood up straight as he noticed who was coming from behind Aurora.
She turned around to say, “Albie, you are still here? I thought you have returned to the office.”
“I am waiting to drive you home.” Albie took over her handbag from her.
She hesitated for a few seconds and then added, “Well…but I gotta pick up Avada from the vet’s. Why don’t you leave on your own? Oh, by the way, Avada is a Border Collie I keep. He’s cute!”
Because of all these complicated stuffs happening recently, neither she nor Sion had time to take care of him. Besides, Avada happened to suffer from some gastric problems once again. So she entrusted the dog to the care of the vet.
Luckily, both Bailey and Ariana didn’t hate dogs. What was more, Ariana actually prepared some toys for him, expecting his arrival.
During the past three years, never had she been parted with Avada for so long. So she decided to pick him up today.
But in case the dog might get Albie’s car stained, she chose to pick him up alone.
Albie nodded and then suggested, “Why can’t I go with you? Anyway, I have nothing else to do this afternoon. You don’t wanna show me your pet?”
“Of course I do. Okay, let’s go.” Aurora smiled.
After saying goodbye to her colleagues, she followed Albie to the parking lot.
Albie took a look at her, “But back into the old days, I didn’t notice that you actually loved keeping pet.”
“Well…it’s a long story…anyway, I have been keeping him for a few years.”
Though Avada used to be Nevaeh’s pet, she still developed some fondness for him during these years.
It seemed that it had turned to be part of her life.
Albie nodded and didn’t continue with other questions.
As they reached the vet’s, Aurora got off the car to hurry inside. After a few days of separation, she did miss her lovely dog.
The vet then led Avada to her and handed over the leash to her.
“He’s much better. But it still takes some time for him to fully recover. So he still gotta take those pills.”
“Okay.” Aurora nodded and smiled at the doctor, “Thank you, Dr. Hart.”
“You’re welcomed.” Dr. Hart nodded and then continued, “A moment please, let me get you the pills he needs.”
Albie walked over from behind. Seeing Avada jumping and circling around her, he seemed to recall the old days. So he said with a smile, “He actually looks like you when you were a kid.”
He still remembered how much she attached herself to him when they were kids.
“You mean I was like a dog?” Aurora questioned wryly.
“Sorry, my fault.” Albie ruffled her hair while smiling.
When the doctor returned to hand over the pills to Aurora, Albie actually took it over.
Dr. Hart cast him a curious glance.
“He’s my brother.” Aurora hurried to declare. After all, she always showed up here together with Sion before that. So then she briefly introduced Albie to the doctor.
“Okay, Dr. Hart, we gotta go now.” Then she walked out while holding the leash to lead Avada outside.
Albie nodded to the doctor and then followed over.
Avada was taken to the back seat. But he reached out his head between the two front seats, asking for Aurora’s cuddle.
“Avada, sit tight!” she moved his head aside.
“Hey, sit still, both of you.” While driving, Albie put on a tender smile while watching them playing.
As they reached the Carroll Manor, Avada rushed out as soon as the door was opened.
“Avada, slow down!” Aurora kept chasing after him.
“I bet he is crazing for freedom after being grounded for days.” Albie walked over to her, “Let’s take a walk with him. It’s still daytime.”
Seeing both of them hadn’t caught up, Avada rushed back to them and wagging.
“Okay…” she patted on his head, “Hey, can you behave yourself?”
“You are being overdemanding to a dog.” Albie picked up the leash and smiled, “Come on, let’s walk the dog together.”
Soon, it was about dusk. With clouds floating over the sky and slowly drifting away, the sunset shed a bit of remaining glow from the horizon afar.
After they walked a long distance, all streetlights around them were on.
“Actually, he has been docile.” Said Aurora while watching Avada walking in their front, who managed to accord his pace with theirs.
Albie nodded to agree.
“Just take him to a suburban area next time. Then he will be free to run.”
But now they were walking within a community area, it was still necessary to hold a tight grip of the leash out of safety concern.
“That’s right.” Aurora took over the leash from Albie, “Thanks for walking the dog with me.”
She had been walking the dog all alone for the past three years, for which Sion never paid any time.
“Come on, don’t mention it. As I said, I am your brother.” Albie sighed.
Aurora smiled to reply and then nodded seriously, “Okay!”
“Well…I gotta get in. Take care.” Aurora was about to walk through the gate with Avada. But then Albie suddenly grabbed her arm.
Then he gave her a sudden tug, “Aurora, wait…”
Meanwhile, on the other side of the manor, Sion was driving himself to enter.
But then he noticed a luxurious car parked here, which he had never seen before.
While tapping on the steering wheel with his finger, he slowed down the speed to move forward.
But then he noticed two familiar figures.
It was Aurora and Albie, who were standing at the gate.
Their long shadows merged with each other on the ground, next to whom there was a dog circling delightedly.
Were they kissing?
