Divorced but Delighted novel Chapter 23

Chapter 23 Can I Pursue Her?

Cierra was shocked and speechless.

She was stunned for a while and thought about how to refuse.

“Mrs. Trevino, I know you love me, but…”

“Why are you still calling me that way? I’m not happy!”

Before Cierra could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Sue.

“Cierra, I know that you are still blaming us. Don’t be in a hurry to reject me, okay? We can talk about whether you recognize me as your godmother or not after you finish the procedures of the divorce. At this moment, you two have not completely divorced yet. It is not too much to ask you to continue calling me mom, right?”

At the end of Sue’s words, there was a hint of careful coaxing, making it hard for Cierra to refuse.

But Cierra was resisting in her heart, so she remained silent.

She couldn’t bear to refuse and was unwilling to force herself, so she simply didn’t say anything.

Sue didn’t continue to force her. But it was inevitable that she would be disappointed and her voice was not as pleasant as

before.

“Well, Cierra, it’s my fault. If you are not willing, then forget it. But I still hope that you can think about it. You know that I am

willing to treat you as my own daughter. Don’t be in a hurry to refuse me. Tell me the answer after you finish the process, okay?”

In fact, she already had the answer in her heart, but she didn’t want to face the truth so quickly, so she simply delayed it.

Sue was more than disappointed. She was depressed.

Her biological son treated her as an enemy because of her failed education. Cierra, the girl she liked so much, would also leave

her far away.

Sue made this request because she wanted Cierra to have a nominal relationship with her. In this way, they could contact each other occasionally and they wouldn’t turn out to be strangers.

But the reality was often contrary to what she wanted.

After hanging up the phone, Cierra stared at the night view outside the window in a daze.

This house was bought by William for her. It was a medium–sized apartment. It was not as spacious as a villa. It was just nice for one person to live in.

Probably because she was too lost in thought, she did not even notice when William entered the apartment.

William coughed twice deliberately to make her come back to her senses.

Although she knew that there was one more person at home, Cierra was still a little absent–minded, and her eyes were a little dim.

William couldn’t help but educate her with a rarely seen stern face, “You should feel lucky that the person who came in was me. If someone sneaked in and tried to do something to you, you’ll be in danger.”

“I’m in my apartment. No one can hurt me. Besides, only you know the password. Who else can come in?”

Cierra did not mind at all. She shuffled out of the balcony with her slippers and took two bottles of water from the fridge. She handed one to him.

William did not take it, but his face was still serious.

Cierra shouted at him like a spoiled child, “William…”

William looked down at her. When he saw the girl’s pitiful face, he said helplessly, “Be cautious, please.”

Cierra nodded repeatedly. “I see.”

William’s tone was serious. “If it’s possible, I don’t want you to be on your guard all the time. But Cici, you were once in desperation. Your life was once in danger. Besides, this is New York. Draven hasn’t finished the procedures of divorce on purpose. He might be thinking about something. It may be fine if you are in a daze at home, but what if you are outside?”

“I know, William. There won’t be a next time.”

She lowered her eyes, and the question in her heart suddenly had an answer.

Before, she thought that it was better to agree to Sue’s proposal. After all, in New York, Ernest and Sue had been good to her. She did not forget to give Sue a birthday blessing for two reasons. Firstly, she did not forget her kindness. Secondly, she wanted to show laid back.

Breaking ties with the Boyle family did not mean that she had to deny everything that had happened in the past and pretend that she did not know the people in the past. If she did that, it would seem that the Boyle family and Draven were important to
