Chapter 128 Red-eyed
Hearing this, Cierra paused.
In fact, she was a little reluctant to leave, not because of Draven. Stream Villa was bought for her by Ernest Trevino and she had chosen it herself. Even though she hadn’t had a chance to live in it for three years, it was different from other empty houses.
While she was silent, a piece of news popped up on her phone on the edge of the table.
Hashtag: “The marriage between Mr. Barton and the daughter of the Boyle family, Aleah, is around
the corner.”
The photo was of Aleah in an evening gown with Draven in a black suit beside her. They looked like a perfect match.
Cierra didn’t open it. Instead, he swiped the pop-up window and spoke in a cold tone.
“Sell them all.”
She didn’t stay in the private room any longer and got up from the chair.
“There are still some things to do in the kitchen. I’ll have to trouble you with these trivial things. I won’t bother you here.”
William could tell that she was acting unnaturally.
He put his phone aside and knew what had happened at a glance. He scolded Cierra in his heart.
His words were even harsher. “You are too angry to eat because of Draven. You were quite tough just now. Didn’t you think about how to spend the money he gave you? Now you can’t stand the news
of his engagement.”
As he spoke, he deliberately clicked on the news and zoomed in on it, throwing it at Cierra.
“Shouldn’t you bless them when they’re together? Cici has just returned for a short time, and she has been bewitched by that face again. Alright, I won’t talk about you anymore. Come back with me to XR Entertainment this afternoon. There’s a bunch of men in my company, and they have all kinds of good figures. You can be keen on others except him.
Cierra was shocked by William’s increasingly outrageous remarks.
She widened her eyes. “William, what nonsense are you talking about?”
William snorted and didn’t say anything. He just squinted at her.
Cierra looked at the food on the table and suddenly felt guilty.
She was the one who asked William to help her, but now she felt uncomfortable when she saw this
picture, so she left him here alone. She really shouldn’t have done that.
“I’m sorry, William.”
She returned to sit opposite William and apologized obediently.
William snorted and filled her bowl with soup. “I has a good temper. If Jaquan were to sit here today, would you be able to smooth things over with just an apology?”
Cierra lowered her head and apologized in a low voice, but her expression was still cold.
This time, William didn’t say anything.
The man who she had liked for a few years had just divorced her and then publicized the news of his remarriage on the Internet. Even though she had been men tally prepared for it for a long time, anyone who saw it would feel disgusted.
Fortunately, Cierra was well-educated. If it were him, he would have pointed at their nose and scolded them. “What a shameless couple!”

He couldn’t say anything to comfort her. Most of the time, he would tease Cierra. At this moment, he could only brace himself to pick up some food for Cierra, feeling extremely awkward.
“William.”
Cierra looked at the pile of food in her plate and couldn’t help interrupting him.
“I’m not sad because of the news, so you don’t have to do this.”
It was true that she was in a bad mood when she saw the photo, but on second thought, she knew that the story should have gone on like this.
She had known since a long time ago that Draven didn’t like her, and his heart was full of Aleah.
But at that time, she was young and always unconvinced.
She was the one who had grown up with him, and he had called her his cutie wife since he was a child. Why did he change completely because of Aleah’s return?
Fortunately, she was not stubborn. The moment she gave up, she understood that love did not come
in order.
She couldn’t control her love for Draven. How could he control his love for Aleah?
