Divorced but Delighted novel Chapter 22

Chapter 22 An Unhappy Birthday

“Mrs. Trevino, happy birthday.”

A pleasing voice came from the phone, inexplicably dissipating the anger that Draven had been holding in for the whole day.

eyes

He raised his and glanced at his mother who was still in the kitchen. He said slowly, “Good for you. You still remember mother’s birthday. Are you not going to take a visit?”

Silence.

All of a sudden, there was no sound.

Draven frowned and took back his phone to take a look. It was still on the call.

“Cierra?”

He opened his mouth again. Just as he was about to say something to ease the atmosphere, the call got disconnected.

The phone was hung up.

The call time was 29 seconds.

Draven stared at the mobile phone that was slowly turning black His brows furrowed even more and he almost wanted to throw his phone.

“Is it Cierra? Why did you stop talking?”

Sue came out of the kitchen with the last two dishes.

Draven did not say a word. He casually threw his phone in the same place and reached out to help her set up the food. His face

was sour.

Sue glanced at him. After wiping her hands clean, she sat down and picked up her phone. After seeing the short call record, she raised her eyebrows.

However, she did not say anything. She only glanced at it and put it aside again.

“You don’t want to call back?” Draven suddenly asked.

Sue scooped up a spoon of soup and just as she was about to bring it to her mouth, she put it down.

“It’s time for dinner. It’s not appropriate to call her. Besides, Cierra called me just to say some words of blessing. I have gotten her kindness. There’s no need to call back.”

Draven said nothing.

The atmosphere turned back to the usual one between them. It was so silent that it was like they were strangers at the same

table.

It was not until the soup was finished that the deadlock was broken by Sue. “I heard that you and Cierra have divorced? Are you planning to marry that girl from the Boyle family? Have you set a date?”

The three consecutive questions seemed to make Draven not know which to answer, so he simply chose the one he wanted.

“We only signed the divorce agreement. The procedures have not been completed. Currently, Cierra is still a member of the Trevino family technically.”

The slightly childish words made Sue unable to help but cast a sidelong glance at her son.

She thought, Cierra is still a member of the Trevino family technically?

What’s your point?

“I know that Grandfather made you unhappy when he forced you to marry Cierra. Now that he is gone, I have thought it

through and won’t force you. However, since you have decided to divorce, you should settle the procedures as soon as possible. It’s not good to delay it.”

“I know what to do about the divorce.” Draven did not even look up.

“You know what to do? If you know what you should do, you shouldn’t have sent Cierra abroad and left her there for three years!”

Sue could not control herself in the end.

But she held back her tough words and forcefully suppressed her emotions.
