Chapter 54 That Was the Man She Had Been Looking for
“Or?” Aurora glanced at him amusingly, “Let’s go to the Register Office tomorrow and get it done after the wedding. Seriously, I’m so tired of waiting. At that time, you can be with your Dr. Burns and no one will judge you.” Saying that, Aurora turned around to go to the staircase decisively, looking like she hated to stay with Sion for one more second.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Sion moved his fingers unconsciously, and in the end, he didn’t stop her from leaving. He stood there and looked terribly bad. Neither of them had noticed two people were hiding behind the fire door in the staircase. Both of them were sad.
Ariana looked at Bailey anxiously and whispered at his ear, “What will we do?”
They hadn’t imagined that they were planning on the divorce without telling them!
“No way!” Bailey gnashed, “Sion wants to divorce Aurora. No way! It’s not gonna happen!”
But the wedding party was about to start. They must calm down and pull themselves together and welcome the big day of their life, though they’d just overheard a big secret in the staircase.
The wedding party had just started when Albie arrived. He was back in the country not long ago, but his name was already well known in the filed. And he was warmly welcomed all the way, and walking and nodding at the crowd. Surely, he was supposed to meet the bridegroom first.
Cory followed him with the present, and whispered at his ear every now and then to tell him who those people were.
Bailey saw him from afar. Albie had the quality of calmness and indifference, but he looked quite polite and gentle. He took Ariana’s hand and went up to receive him.
“Mr. Carroll,” Albie shook hands with Bailey politely and said with a smile, “Congratulation.”
“Thanks, Mr. Doyle. It’s our honor to have you at the wedding.” Bailey said and patted him on the shoulder, “Indeed, you’re young and you’ve achieved big success. I’m sure you’ll excel me soon.”
“Mr. Carroll, I’m so flattered. I’m just standing on the shoulders of the giants.” After it, he took over the present from Cory and handed it to Ariana, “Mrs. Carroll, I got you a wedding gift. Hope you like it.”
“It’s very kind of you, Mr. Doyle.” Ariana smiled and took over the present. Then she stood aside and left them talking.
Meanwhile, Bailey saw Sion coming downstairs. He was still mad at Sion for intending to divorce Aurora, but he couldn’t hit the ceiling in public. So, he smiled and turned to Albie, “Mr. Doyle, my son is about the same age of you. I’d like to take the opportunity to introduce you to each other. I hope you can communicate with each other more in the future.”
“My honor, Mr. Carroll.” Albie nodded.
Bailey nodded happily and called out to Sion, “Sion, over here. I’d love to introduce you to a very promising young man here. This is Mr. Albie Doyle.”
Sion heard it and came over to Bailey. He recognized Albie and looked at him surprisingly.
“What are the odds!”
Albie felt the same way. He shook hands with Sion and said, “Fancy meeting you again. What a small world.”
The two of them were both handsome and had the charisma of an elite. All people around were attracted by them and began gossiping.
Bailey looked at them and asked out of curiosity, “You know each other?”
“Not exactly. We’ve met once before.” Albie said.
Sion nodded to agree, “Yep. What a surprise! Mr. Doyle, I’ve heard a lot about you.”
Sion met him in the cake shop and had a short conversation with him. But he was sure that Albie was somebody! Albie thought of Sion in the same way, and he thought Sion was also a big shot.
“Good. You’re meant to know each other.”
They had some small talk and began discussing the cooperation between the companies.
“This is our leading project of the year. Mr. Doyle, we count on you for it.”
“You’re flattering me, Mr. Carroll. We’ll have to rely on Carroll Group, too. It’s our job.”
“Well said. Let’s call it win-win solution.”
Bailey laughed happily and suddenly sighed, “You know I’m getting older and my health is getting poorer. Sion, how I wish you could come back to help me in Carroll Group.”
Sion looked calm and cool but said nothing.
The people around couldn’t every word of their long conversation, but they had figured out that Carroll Group was gonna work with Albie.
“This Mr. Doyle was back in the country not long ago, but he’s very rich and capable.”
“Exactly. They’ll cooperate and rule the business world of Lower Hopton.”
Aurora went downstairs, looked around for Ariana, and happened to hear it. She had a fallen-out with Sion and didn’t want to attract people’s attention by coming downstairs with him. So, she went to to washroom and washed her hand.
To her surprise, people were attracted by someone else. She followed people’s eyesight and saw a tall man standing in the center of the crowd. He was in suite and tie. She absolutely believed he was a looker though she had seen his back only. That man was talking with Sion and Bailey, and he turned around and smiled gently from time to time.
The golden spotlight shone on him and he looked like he was with halo. But Aurora stared at him and found he looked very familiar. She was stunned and rubbed her eyes foolishly. Oh Gee! Did she see it wrong? Or, why did she take the guy as Albie, who’d been away for years?
