Chapter 109 Take Draven to Divorce
Draven was holding a plate in his hand, and his right palm was still wrapped in gauze, but it didn’t affect his nobleness at all.
He placed the dishes on the table and glanced out of the corner of his eye indifferently
“The dishes are ready. Let’s eat.”
It was unknown whether Draven had heard what Cierra said just now, but it was obvious that he had ended the conversation and also helped Cierra solve the problem of how to answer it.
However, Cierra’s mood was still in a mess. She couldn’t figure out why Draven would appear here.
The reason why she dared to come to the old house for dinner was that she was sure that Draven would not come back, so she could avoid embarrassment.
Moreover, Aleah was still in the hospital at this time. Didn’t Draven need to stay in the hospital to look after Aleah?
Although Cierra didn’t inquire about Aleah’s news, the news flew into her ears all the time.
Every day, there were people who came to tell her about Aleah’s miserable situation at this time. They said that Aleah directly hit her head against the wall in the detention center. They described it as if they were at the scene.
They also told her how much Draven valued Aleah. From morning to night, he guarded Aleah and asked about her well-being, for fear that she would take things too hard and break her head.
She was so annoyed when hearing that.
Therefore, at this moment, Cierra’s mood was very complicated. She didn’t want to see Draven, nor did she want to sit at the same table with Draven for dinner.
Moreover, she didn’t hide her emotions and directly showed how unhappy she was.
After Cierra sat down, there was not much expression on her bright face and she did not talk much. Only when Sue spoke to her did Cierra smile and reply. She did not take the initiative either.
Not to mention the people sitting at the table, even Anna who offered the dishes could feel that something was wrong with the atmosphere.
Sue added a shrimp to Cierra’s plate. “Cierra, why aren’t you eating? Is the food not to your liking? I made it myself, so you should at least give me some face and eat some.”
Cierra was amused by Sue’s tone and finally smiled. “It’s delicious. Your cooking skills are getting
better and better.”
Cierra picked up some food for Sue. Her mood improved, but at the same time, she felt a little
guilty.
She really shouldn’t have asked the host to take care of her when being a guest.
Moreover, Mrs. Trevino cared for her feelings too much.
Cierra forced a smile, trying not to ruin the mood because of Draven. At this time, she heard Mrs. Trevino say to Draven.
“Go to the coffee table and eat yourself. Don’t be an eyesore to Cierra and me. You usually ignore me when I ask you to come back for dinner. I didn’t call you over today, but you came over yourself!”
Draven was speechless.
He looked at Sue in silence.

Sue didn’t even give him a look. She began to pick up shrimps for Cierra.
“Cierra, have a taste of this shrimp. It was caught today. It’s still fresh when it’s cooked.”
Cierra was particularly embarrassed.
It felt as if she was Mrs. Walker’s biological daughter, while Draven was adopted.
Seeing that Draven was really picking up food and was about to leave the dining room, Cierra couldn’t help saying, “I’m fine. Why don’t you… have dinner with us? The more, the better.”
Sue coldly sneered. “Tell him to get lost. He’s an eyesore.”
After scolding him, Sue turned to talk to Cierra in a soft voice.
“Cierra, I know you hate him as well. Hasn’t this brat completed the divorce procedures for you yet? I’ll take him to finish it tomorrow!”
Draven was stunned.
This time, not only did Draven look at Sue, but his gaze also swept over Cierra.
But with just a glance, he had already taken it back. He picked up some vegetables and went to the sofa. He took a small stool and began to eat on the coffee table.
