Chapter 279 The Kids in the Countryside
Cameron listened to her words, filled with joy in his heart. His lips couldn’t help but curl up, making his impeccable face even more radiant.
Sion looked at Aurora’s face, hoping to see some trace of lying. However, he could only see the serious expression on her even more stunning face and her rejection towards him.
Cameron took advantage of Sion’s distraction and pulled Aurora over to his side.
“Mr Carroll? Harassing a married lady like this is unbecoming for a CEO.”
Sion tried to control himself and then said, “If you two are married, how could there be no news?”
Cameron snorted and said, “I treasure her, why would I make it public to make someone else covet my wife? ”
Sion clenched his fists and felt a pain in his heart that made it hard for him to breathe.
Aurora used to be his wife.
Seeing that he still didn’t want to leave, Aurora said, “Cameron came back this time just for our wedding. The invitation will be sent directly into your hands, Mr Carroll.”
Cameron seemed surprised by this unexpected news and his eyes brightened up immediately.
“Yeah, we’re hoping you would be there, Mr Carroll.” Said Cameron.
Sion felt like a joke as he watched the two people who were so deeply in love walk away without even having the courage or ability to stop them.
They were husband and wife with a son preparing for their wedding.
Cameron glanced at him before saying, “Let’s go, Aurora. Our son is waiting for us.”
“Okay.” Aurora didn’t bother looking back at Sion either as she got into the car with Cameron.
Sion watched their backs disappear into the distance without any courage left within himself anymore. What position did he have now?
With a broken heart, Sion got into the car and drove away from there.
Driving along narrow winding roads after avoiding traffic jams, Cameron asked worriedly, “Are you sure we’re not lost?”
Looking at both the navigation screen on their phone, and then ahead where they saw nothing but small villages, Cameron found it unbelievable.
How did Aurora think of leaving the kids here?
“Of course. Though this place may seem remote, they have a full portion of all-natural vegetables, and they can get close to nature.” Said Aurora.
Cameron felt it complicated, but he still nodded.
“But if you want to see them in person, it’s a bit difficult.”
Aurora couldn’t help but laugh and said, “You have never been to the countryside, have you? That’s just how it is in rural areas.”
Cameron heard the sarcasm in her words and he said defiantly, “I’ve been somewhere like this before.”
Aurora smiled.
Before long, the car stopped at the entrance of a small courtyard. Theodore and Morgan were squatting down watching ants when they heard the sound of the car engine. After a while, they saw Cameron stepping out of the car and were so happy.
“Uncle Cameron!”
“Uncle Cameron! We missed you so much!”
He looked at these two little kids running excitedly towards him and squatted down. Morgan and Theodore collided with his arms full of love.
“I miss you too.”
The kids leaned on his shoulders on either side.
“Are you going to stay with us all this time?” Morgan’s voice was so sweet, which made Cameron’s heart soften even more.
“Of course. My darlings, how could I bear being separated from you for so long?” With that said, his face showed gentle laughter.
Theodore and Morgan clung onto him happily not wanting to let go. Besides, they were completely tempted by the new toys brought by Cameron.
“Let’s go inside.” Said Cameron.
“Do you need my help?” asked Aurora.
“It’s okay.” Said he.
Cameron then turned around leading both children into the courtyard. From behind, he looked like a father taking care of his children.
Aurora thought he liked children. Without thinking too much about it, she followed them inside. Cameron played with the two children for a while, when suddenly Morgan and Theodore exchanged a glance and pitifully tugged at his sleeves.
“Uncle Cameron, can you tell Mommy to let us go back home?”
“Yeah, we’re so bored here. We can’t even see Mommy or you.”
They spoke while shaking his sleeves.
Cameron glanced at Aurora and then hugged the children into his arms. He spoke softly and gently, “Okay, I’ll ask your mommy to take you back.”All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
“How come Mommy thinks you’re having a good time? Didn’t you help Mrs Lau tend to the cows in the field? Isn’t it fun here?” asked Aurora.
Although the village was nice enough, they still wanted to be by their mommy’s side. Thinking of Cameron’s words made them feel that he would keep his promise. So they happily went off to play with their new toys on one side.
Cameron watched the kids affectionately.
“How could you agree with them so easily?” Aurora couldn’t help but scold him after seeing the kids leave.
She grumbled, “I planned on letting them stay for some more time before sending them away once things have calmed down. Now I have to think of another way again.”
Cameron turned around to face her and said, “I won’t lie to them.”
“But if we bring them back…” Aurora appeared worried about something, or someone, like Sion.
“I came back wasn’t just for the factory matters alone. It’s mainly because I want to bring you guys back too.”
“Bring us back?”
Cameron chuckled softly before continuing, “Yes, leaving the three of you alone here makes me uneasy. If something happens, I can’t be back in time to help. Do you want me to worry every minute of the day?”
“That’s not what I meant.”
Aurora was hesitant since she indeed intended to send the kids abroad to stay with Cameron but she still got some unfinished things here.
