Chapter 250 Cierra’s Appearance
A woman’s voice came from behind the trees, shattering the tense atmosphere that had been brewing between them all.
Everyone turned their heads in the direction of the sound, especially Draven, who immediately looked in the direction of the familiar voice, hoping to catch a glimpse of the face that had been haunting him in his dreams.
Belle was also curious about this niece she had never met before.
She didn’t notice the change in Draven’s expression and craned her neck to get a better
view.
Cherry, on the other hand, was less impressed.
To her, Cierra was just a wild girl they had found somewhere, and she couldn’t understand why everyone was paying so much attention to her.
After all, Cierra had been raised outside the family for over twenty years now and probably didn’t have any feelings for the family. She wondered why Sarah and Jaquan were so eager to welcome Cierra back into the fold.
It was not like she had grown up with them or anything, so why bothered?
She watched with reluctance and curiosity as Cierra slowly emerged from behind the trees, under the watchful eyes of the others.
Cierra was not wearing a flashy outfit or jewelry, even not a pretty dress.
Her hair was tied up in a simple bun, not a single strand out of place, and she was wearing casual clothes. She was even in Mrs. Taylor’s old apron.
Despite this, she had a beautiful smile on her face and her eyes were shining with anticipation as if she was looking forward to meeting someone she had been waiting to see for a long time.
But as she laid eyes on the approaching group, her smile suddenly disappeared, especially when she saw Draven among them.
She put her hands casually in the pockets of her apron and slowed down as she walked over to Jaquan, her eyes fixed warily on Draven.
As for Ryan, she didn’t seem to react much at all.
She then saw Belle and Cherry but didn’t know who they were, so she didn’t show much
interest.
Cierra’s appearance seemed to bring back the tension that had been simmering just
below the surface.
Cierra didn’t say anything.
She didn’t know what was going on or why Draven and Ryan were here, or what they
were doing.
And she didn’t know what had been said between Draven and Jaquan before she arrived.
She didn’t want to say anything either, because she didn’t want to get in the way of
Jaquan.
Besides, she didn’t want to talk to Draven at all.
That creepy man!
So she stood quietly behind Jaquan, feeling safe with him here to protect her.
But her small movements unknowingly annoyed someone.
Cherry was already angry at being ignored earlier, and seeing Cierra standing close to Jaquan only made her more jealous.
She looked at Cierra with contempt.
“Who do you think you are, not even coming out to greet the guests and hiding behind Jaquan?” Cherry’s angry shout shattered the tense silence, drawing the attention of the others.
Belle looked puzzled, wondering what was going on.
Jaquan remained his usual aloof self.
Cierra regarded Cherry as a fool.
