Carried on their arguing

“Robert Wagner had taken a bottle of wine and smashed it on the coffee table in front of her and Christopher,” Davern said on “Good Morning America.” “Natalie went to her stateroom, and Robert Wagner followed and they carried on their arguing in the stateroom.”

How does carried on their arguing sound to you? Doesn't carried on their argument sound better?

Everything in the original quote is correct. "Carried on their argument" does not sound better. You lose the rhythm of the original text that way.
