Divorced but Delighted By Millie Huffman

Chapter 341 Hostility

Cierra was occupied with eating the meal.

William, who was next to her secretly leaned over and said, “Cici, why don’t you stay with me in New York for a few

days?”

Cierra, who was chewing on her food, was stunned. She didn’t expect to hear such a question. “William, are you

joking?”

“Didn’t we agree long ago that I would have to stay in Los Angeles?” She thought.

William wouldn’t give up. He glanced at her and he didn’t look quite happy about it. He said, “Do you have to stay in

Los Angeles?”

“That’s right.” She thought..

She really didn’t want to go to the hospital. Even if Draven had a plan, he wouldn’t say anything about it.

It was mainly because Dr. Charles was in the old house.

He had come all the way from New York just to have a shelter and food here. She couldn’t go back on her word and

follow William to New York, could she?

That would be joking with the old man.

Cierra didn’t know what he was hesitating about, but she thought that he was distressed and reluctant to part with

her. Thinking of this, she smiled and picked up a piece of pork rib for William.

“William, if you can’t bear to part with me, then work hard and try to let me discuss it with Lydia. That way, we can

still have accompanied each other in the same city.”

“I didn’t say I don’t want to part with you. Don’t flatter yourself.”

That was a sweet quarrel between the two of them.

She imitated him and said. “Sure, you are right. I’m just flattering myself. But it’s you who tricked me to go back to

New York. I don’t want to go with you.”

Except for what happened in L’Opera Restaurant, there were almost terrible memories about that down-and-out

place.

She didn’t want to go back.

She poked the rice at the bottom of the bowl with her utensils angrily and glared at him before looking away.

“Don’t tell me that you are afraid that Lydia won’t agree with that. And you want me to help you convince her. Let

me tell you, I don’t want to do this. Don’t even think about it.

It was fine for her to help William, but she didn’t want to be the matchmaker for convincing William to marriage.

Even though she felt that there was nothing wrong with William, she thought the Barton family was still a very

warmhearted. It would definitely be better for Lydia to marry into the Barton family than

into the Navarro family.

But marriage still depended on the mutual love of the couple. As long as one person did not agree, the marriage

would not fail.

What Cierra hoped for was for William to work hard to pursue the girl himself instead of being pushed around by

other people’s opinions.

“Cici, what are you thinking? Do you think I am the one you thought I was?”

Probably because he could tell what Cici was thinking, he turned his head and gritted his teeth.

However, the girl next to him pretended to be innocent and nodded seriously.

“That’s right, you’re that kind of person.”

11 …” He sank into silence.

He couldn’t be bothered to respond her.

The two of them spoke in low voices.

The other people were observing them in an interested mood.

The people of the Barton family were already used to it. It would be strange if the two of them did. not quarrel with

each other for one day. So, they did not disturb them. Instead, they smiled quietly and stood watching them

quarrelling. They did not pay attention to what they were talking about.

“They seem to be on good terms.”

After the two of them sank into silence for a while, Bruno suddenly spoke up. There was a faint smile on Bruno’s

handsome face, which made him look more amiable and elegant.

William only felt that he was hypocritical. “Isn’t it normal for us to have a good relationship as brother and sister?”

That was true.

“How dare he covets my sister? Why didn’t he take a look at himself?” William thought.

His tone sounded very unfriendly.

All of a sudden, the atmosphere at the table became quite oppressive.

Beside him, Cierra looked at him with a hesitating expression. Because she was too embarrassed, she couldn’t help

but reach out and pinch William under the table.

“How dare you speak like that!” She thought.

Even if she didn’t like Bruno, she thought William should have at least been polite. Bruno didn’t do anything rude.

And it was wrong for William to talk to him in such a tone.

Bruno was also a guest of theirs.

Cierra’s pinch was quite gentle for William, and he didn’t even blink his eyes.

However, in order not to embarrass Cierra, he continued to explain.

“I always speak this way. Bruno, I hope you don’t mind.”

Although that was true, William didn’t actually mean it.

As he spoke, he stuffed the pork rib that Cierra given him into his mouth.

If they were in a more traditional family with strict rules, he would have been scolded by his elders long ago. He

couldn’t not have sat there safe and sound after saying such rude words to his guest.

Of course, there was criticism for William at the table.

Mr. Charle Barton and Jaquan thought that William was being rude. However, they were worried that their daughter

would be cooed away by Bruno, so they naturally turned a blind eye to William’s behavior.

Bruno didn’t mind at all. He kept his gentle smile on his face and said, “Of course not. I am always easy-going. I

don’t talk like those who pretend to be polite. How could I mind this?”

“That’s right. I’m quite annoyed by those polite flatters. They’re quite hypocritical.”

William sneered and glanced at the man in front of him.

No one chatted. And the meal was full of tricks and confrontations.

The weird and awkward atmosphere lasted until the end of dinner.

Cierra saw Bruno off. “Bruno, that’s William’s personality. If he makes you uncomfortable at the dining table, I hope

you don’t mind.”

On the way out of the old house, she apologized to Bruno.

Although she didn’t know why William had that kind of hostility towards Bruno, she decided not to bother about it.

After all, it was her fault for not being a good host for Bruno.

No matter what, she had to thank Bruno.

Moreover, Bruno had helped her a lot during this period.

“Don’t think too much about it, Cici. I’ve told you at the dining table that I don’t mind.”

Bruno was as gentle and elegant as ever, as if nothing could affect him.

He smiled and even started to comfort Cierra, who was so cautious about it.

“As you can see, I ate a lot at the dining table. If I mind, I’m afraid I couldn’t have eaten that much.

So don’t think too much about it.”

Seeing Bruno’s casual attitude, Cierra felt much more relaxed.

There was an old saying on the Internet, “As long as you are not embarrassed by others, others will be the one who

feel embarrassed.”

Cierra felt that William and Bruno were that sort of people.

In the end, she was the only one who was embarrassed.

It was a bad habit of being embarrassed easily by other people’s situations. She was so embarrassed that she kept

wrestling her toes.

She took a serious look at Bruno’s face. After making sure that there was no extra meaning conveyed by his look.

she was completely relieved.

“It’s good that you’re not angry. Don’t be angry and stop coming here again just because of William.”

“How could that be?”

Bruno suddenly stopped pacing and stood seriously in front of Cierra.

The light from the street lamp fell on him, casting a few shadows on him, which made him look taller, more

handsome, and elegant.

“Cici, you haven’t agreed to my pursuit yet. I don’t want to give up just like that. Besides, Mr. Barton is your brother,

so it’s natural for him to be hostile to me.”

The sudden confession caught Cierra off guard.

She stood in front of Bruno and blinked in a daze.
