Divorced but Delighted By Millie Huffman

Chapter 342 Resentment

“I…”

Cierra stared blankly at him, momentarily at a loss for words.

She wanted Bruno to give it a try, but after spending a few days with him, she always felt that something was

missing.

Therefore, she didn’t know how to answer him.

As if he could read her mind, Bruno smiled gently at her.

“Cici, don’t rush to give me an answer. Could you continue to treat me as a friend?”

His probing tone made Cierra unable to refuse him. She hoped to befriend Bruno.

She always felt that she could learn something from him.

He was like her elder brother, and could lead her onto a smoother track. But he was also different from her own

brother.

In short, after spending a few days with Bruno, she was not against being together with him.

Sometimes, they even chatted about some trivial things in life, such as things that happened in the studio and

others.

He had always been polite and was not annoying at all.

Sometimes, Cierra would doubt herself. How could she be worthy of Bruno’s affection?

He seemed to be worthy of a better person.

However, this thought only existed in Cierra’s mind for a short while. It did not make her think too much about it.

From her point of view, she was no worse than any other woman.

No matter what, it was always a happy thing to be liked by someone.

It was like receiving praise from others.

As for how she could answer Bruno’s question…

In fact, she was already trying to accept him gradually.

From the moment they met in New York, she felt inexplicable rejected. But then she could feel his politeness after

accepting his kindness. And now she could accept his kindness with ease.

Love was not something that could be achieved overnight.

She hoped that they could get to know each other better.

She didn’t like the idea of being together in a rush and becoming a resentful couple shortly after confirming their

relationship.

Under the dim light, their shadows were stretched out. After smiling at each other, they looked away tacitly and

walked back to the gate along the path.

“Let’s call it a day. It’s windy at night. You may go back and rest early.”

When they were about to reach the main entrance, Bruno stopped.

Cierra didn’t insist on staying. She nodded and said, “Drive carefully at night. Remember to send me a message

when you get home.”

“Okay.”

Bruno glanced at her. “Can I come to you tomorrow?”

He asked in a low voice.

His gaze was too sincere, and coupled with his tone, it actually seemed as if he was pleading.

Cierra agreed without hesitation. “Of course. Didn’t we agree that you can come over at any time if you want to

have a free meal? As long as you’re free.”

Since Dr. Charles was here, she had to cook meals anyway.

It didn’t matter if she added one or two more dishes for another person.

“Then I’ll come and dine with you, Bruno was polite thank you.”

Cierra waved his hand casually, “Sure, it’s nothing, I didn’t even bother to be polite with you. There’s no need to be

polite with me either.”

“I don’t want to be too polite with you, but judging from Mr. Barton’s attitude at dinner today, he doesn’t seem to

like me very much. I’m afraid he’ll be more annoyed if I keep disturbing you.”

Bruno’s words sounded a little pitiful.

“Bruno, don’t worry about my brother. He has a bad temper and treats everyone like this.”

Thinking of the embarrassment at dinner, Cierra blushed and quickly explained, afraid that Bruno would think too

much.

“And my brother will be returning to New York tomorrow, so you don’t have to take his words seriously. You…”

“I don’t take it too seriously. I’m just worried that my insistence will bring trouble to you. Cici, you don’t have to

explain this.”

Before Cierra could finish her words, Bruno interrupted her with a gentle voice.

“Since Cici said so, I’ll pick you up tomorrow to the hospital. If you need any help, you can call me.”

“Okay.”

Almost subconsciously, Cierra agreed.

Bruno also smiled. “See you tomorrow. Go home and rest early.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he went straight to the car and disappeared into the dark night.

Cierra stood there in a daze for a moment, staring blankly at the distant green hills, as well as the vehicle hidden in

the darkness.

After a long time, a smile appeared on her face. When she turned her head, she was still a little excited.

“Well, why are you so happy seeing him off?”

After taking a few steps, a voice came from under the light, giving Cierra a fright.

She exclaimed and took a closer look, only to find that it was William who was standing under the street lamp.

He still looked lazy and didn’t seem to be serious at all.

However, he had a good-looking face. Even if he was dressed casually, he still looked so eye-catching.

Cierra patted her chest to calm herself down and glared at William.

“William, you nearly scare me to death. Please stop doing that again.”

“Are you afraid of being scared to death?”

With a snort, William followed her close/v and walked her toward the house.

“Look at how bold you are to see a man off alone. Why weren’t you afraid when you did so?”

She didn’t answer.

Cierra was speechless.

After a moment of silence, she asked him tentatively, are you…”

“Am I what?”

William lowered his eyelids and glanced at hier.

Cierra coughed slightly. “Did you say something to Lydia and she rejected it?”

Otherwise, why would he act as if someone had provoked him? He was like an angry cat that would attack anyone

he saw.

He was behaving like that at the dining table, and now he was acting the same.

According to her speculation, her parents couldn’t wait for William to get married. Although the Navarro family was

somehow unreliable, Lydia was still a nice person.

Therefore, if William proposed to marry Lydia, his parents would definitely agree.

In her opinion, the only person who could make William angry was Lydia.

Cierra felt that her guess was very reasonable.

“What are you thinking about all day? What can I say to Lydia? You should take care of yourself!”

Looking at her knowing expression, William couldn’t help sneering, “What’s wrong with me?”

Cierra didn’t know what was going on. She only felt that the anger William felt towards her was quite strange.

“What’s wrong with you? You don’t even know that a man has cheated you. Let me tell you, Cici, that man is a jerk.

Don’t be so careless. If you got cheated one day, don’t ask me for help!”

William was trying to teach her a lesson.

Cierra was baffled.

She didn’t know what he meant by being cheated by a man or that the man was a jerk…

She opened her eyes and looked at William seriously. She was thinking hard as she counted the men she had seen

recently.

Finally, she got the answer.

“William, do you mean… Bruno is a jerk?”

There was no expression on William’s face.

Cierra also tried to extrapolate the correct answer from his attitude and immediately laughed out loud.

“No way, William, why do you think Bruno is a jerk? He is very nice and polite, and… Hey, if you don’t want to listen,

just say it. Why are you pulling me?”

Cierra was counting Bruno’s advantages. Before she could finish her sentence, she was dragged forward and

forced to keep up with William’s pace.
