Chapter 266 Stay in Los Angeles?
“You can do a lot of things.”
Cierra took the little boy’s hand and walked to the side. She spoke patiently and slowly, trying to turn Will into the assistant of Jaquan and Wanda’s relationship.
Cierra could tell that Wanda liked this little guy very much.
The reason why she was willing to stay in the old house was mostly because of this little
guy.
If she could make Wanda like Will more, she could usually use the little fellow to call
Wanda out for dinner.
If she asked Jaquan to go with her, things would be different when they met more often.
Although Wanda had been by Jaquan’s side for a few years, work and private meals were always different.
They were superior and subordinate at work. Only when they contacted with each other in private could they develop the relationship. Love could eventually be cultivated.
Furthermore, Cierra could sense that Wanda was fond of Jaquan as well. It was most likely because Wanda felt that there was a huge gap between their family backgrounds. She was lacking in a sense of security so that she had rejected Jaquan.
Cierra thought. “When they communicate with each other more, I’ll let Wanda stay in the old house for a few more days and experience Sarah’s charm. It’ll be different after
all.”
Cierra was thinking happily. Now that she knew that Will also liked Wanda, she was even happier. She was quietly planning to recruit Wanda into her family.
Unlike the cheerful atmosphere in the garden, the atmosphere outside the old house
was much more awkward.
After Draven and Ryan were led out by Mrs. Taylor, Mrs. Taylor closed the fence door and left without saying a word.
Draven and Ryan looked at each other in dismay.
Then, they smiled.
“This is the first time in my life that I’ve received such treatment as a guest. Draven, being brothers with you has truly broadened my (ho r izons) !”
After Ryan opened the car door and sat down in the driver’s seat, he couldn’t help teasing Draven.
Draven looked out of the window at the gate of the Barton family’s old mansion with a gloomy look.
“I’m also very grateful to have a brother like you. Even in this state, you’re still willing to accompany me on this trip and take the risk of being beaten up.”
As the car started, the scene in front of them gradually disappeared.
Draven looked away indifferently and wiped the corner of his mouth with his hand.
It hurt a little.
But it was still not as painful as the pain in his heart.
Draven glanced out of the window and seemed to be able to see the smiling girl under the vines through the shade of the trees outside.
Draven thought. “Indeed, Cierra is happier if she is not with me.
“When she is with me, she is always angry and sad for me.
“She used to smile happily when seeing me as if I am the only one in her eyes a long
time ago.
“When on earth did she stop smiling at me?”
Draven couldn’t remember it anymore.
But he knew very well that it was because of his behavior that Cierra slowly distanced
herself from him.
It was not only because he was blindfolded, but also because he had closed his eyes.
Chapter 26
He was the one who had lost Cierra, who had been silently accompanying him.”
As soon as he thought of it, Draven felt a sharp pain in his heart.
He closed his eyes and listened to the whistling wind outside the window. His mind was filled with Cierra’s smile.
He thought. “Why can’t she smile at me again?
“How can I make her return to my side?”
The pain began to spread because of Draven’s closing his eyes, and even his eyebrows
furrowed.
Ryan didn’t notice Draven’s strange behavior, but the car was too quiet. He wanted to talk to someone, so Ryan started talking casually.
“By the way, Draven, what happened to you when you were at Cierra’s house? Why did you get hurt after taking a bite of the cake? Was the cake drugged?”
