Divorced but Delighted

Chapter 44

Chapter 44 You Are So Nice to Aleah

The suit on Cierra’s shoulders fell to the ground. Cierra and Draven confronted each other face to face.

Cierra did not know why Draven was hostile to William.

If Draven had misunderstood Cierra’s relationship with William, it was absurd.

Cierra and William were families. Even if they were a couple, so what? She would divorce Draven.

Cierra would meet someone in the future.

Other than William, someone else would be suitable for Cierra. Couldn’t she fall in love and get married in the future?

Moreover, it had nothing to do with Draven, no matter whom Cierra would be with.

If Draven hadn’t misunderstood them, Cierra was more confused about his behavior.

William’s business in New York had nothing to do with Draven’s. There was competition between the Barton family and the Trevino family in other industries. However, the Trevino family was in New York, and the Barton family was in Los Angeles. They usually did not interfere with each other. Why was Draven hostile?

Cierra could only explain it with the reason that Draven was mentally ill.

The deadlock was broken by Cierra.

She bent down to pick up William’s suit and patted the non–existent dust. Then, she put it on her arm.

“Alright. I will break up with the Barton family. Will you divorce me?”

Draven compressed his lips and glanced at the suit on Cierra’s arm.

When he looked at Cierra again, his tone turned cold.

“Do you think I am a fool? What will happen after we divorce? Will you attend various events with the Barton family?”

Cierra forced a smile and tilted her head to look at Draven.

“You know I will be their friend again after our divorce. Why do you make such an unreasonable request?”

Cierra thought it was ridiculous to break up with her relatives.

Draven looked away and turned to leave. “We can’t reach an agreement. Go to bed early.”

“Draven, don’t you want to divorce me in your life?”

Cierra looked at Draven’s back and said calmly.

“It doesn’t matter to me. I don’t mind keeping single for the rest of my life. How about you? You have someone you like, and she is also waiting for you. Why do you have to badger me? You will be delayed by yourself.”

“You are the one who has delayed me.” Draven didn’t look back.

“Yes, it is me. You and Aleah have lost three years because of me. I apologize to you.”

Cierra tried to be frank

“Since you have made a mistake, why don’t you stop?”

“I don’t know why you are hostile to the Barton family. I’ve said William and I are in a cooperative relationship. I haven’t

cheated you or brought disgrace on you in our marriage.

“If you think I came home to divorce you and my concealment made you uncomfortable, I apologize. I’m sorry.”

Cierra bowed to Draven and didn’t stand straight for a long time.

When Draven turned around, he saw Cierra straightening up.

To divorce Draven, Cierra had made so many concessions.

She had been tough in the venue and refused to give up the passenger seat. However, at that moment, she bowed to him.

Why?

It was because Cierra did not love Draven anymore and was eager to get out of the marriage.

She did not love him anymore.

Well..

When Cierra loved Draven, she wanted to get married. When she didn’t, she wanted to turn around and leave. How could it be so easy?

“Are you so anxious to get divorced?”

When Draven spoke again, he was no longer angry. However, he was not as gentle as he put the hot coffee in front of Cierra.

Cierra frowned and didn’t know what Draven meant.

She shook her head. “I am not anxious. You, instead of me, will be delayed.”

“Since you are not anxious, why are you rushing me?” Draven sneered.

“But…”

“You don’t need to care about Aleah and me.”

Before Cierra said anything, she was interrupted by Draven as if it was a sin for her to speak.

Cierra was frightened by Draven’s anger. She compressed her lips and silently looked at him.

No matter how angry he was, he had never been like that.

However, Draven did not realize how scary he was.

He looked at Cierra indifferently, and his tone was somewhat mocking.

In any case, I have been delayed for three years. I don’t care for it to be longer. Mrs. Trevino, you wanted to divorce me as soon

as you were back. How can I divorce you before you know the feeling of being Mrs. Trevino?

“You’re not anxious, and I’m not anxious either. Let’s keep this situation for now.”

Hearing that, Cierra understood everything.

Draven was on purpose.

If she were unhappy, he would be hannu Shaunated in

the Barton family. That was why he was hostile to everyone around her.

Cierra gritted his teeth and glared at Draven.

“Alright. It doesn’t matter. I don’t care.”

Cierra sat on the sofa and turned sulky.

“Draven, you’d better pay attention to your next wife. Tell her not to come to me. It’s you who doesn’t want to divorce. I don’t want to be bothered by her.”

Draven hesitated for a second. He wanted to say Aleah would not do that, but he changed his mind when he remembered what had happened at the Boyle’s home.

“Aleah was wrong last time. She did something immoral because of her illness. Her condition has improved, and she will not do that again.”

Cierra smiled and said nothing more.

Aleah’s illness was a good excuse.

It was because of Aleah’s illness three years before, and the excuse was the same three years later. It could be used everywhere.

With this excuse, even breaking the law could be described as being immoral.

How ridiculous!

Since Aleah was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, Cierra had heard too much like that.

“As Aleah’s elder sister, you should be kind to her.”

“You’re an adopted daughter, but Aleah is the daughter of the Boyle family. It’s kind enough for the Boyle family to offer you food. What else do you want?”

“Aleah is ill. Can’t you be more understanding? Do you have to be so narrow–minded?”

The Boyle family always said that. Therefore, Cierra thought it was not a big deal when Draven said that too.

Although Draven had said nothing in the past, his behavior had shown his attitude.

There was no need to argue.

Draven probably realized he had said something wrong. He looked at Cierra’s shoulder in silence for a while.

Then, he explained, “I’m not trying to find an excuse for Aleah. It’s her fault. I apologize to you on her behalf and will try my best to fulfill your request.”

Hearing Draven’s words, Cierra felt even more sarcastic.

“You’re so nice to Aleah.”

Cierra leaned on the sofa and looked at Draven with a smile.

Draven frowned.

When he was about to explain, Cierra said, “Will you fulfill my request?”

Draven pondered for a moment. “As long as I can.”

The implication was Cierra could not mention their divorce at that moment.

Cierra did not want to mention their divorce again. She was tired of talking about that frequently. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

She decided to neglect that.

Cierra stood up with the suit in her hand. “Drive me home. I don’t want to stay here.”
