Divorced but Delighted By Millie Huffman

Chapter 343 Aleah’s Death

“William, can you slow down?”

Although Cierra could keep up with William’s pace, she still felt very uncomfortable being pulled by the collar.

Listening to the slightly aggrieved voice, he cursed in his heart.

“Slow down?” He thought.

“That’s impossible.” He cursed.

He was angry that she hadn’t learned her lesson after suffering once, and that she had been fascinated by another

man so quickly.

“How dare she even call him so intimately?” He was grudging in his heart.

For him, Bruno was clearly a jerk.

Although William was cursing in his heart, he simultaneously stopped.

“Cici, remember, you’ve been tricked by Draven, haven’t you? You’ve been thinking about another man for two

days. Do you know who the West family are?”

William stood in front of her and exhorted her earnestly.

Their shadows were also stretched out under the light, one tall and the other short as if one of shadows was

wrapping the other.

Cierra didn’t expect these words to come from William and she was unable to reply in time.

After a long time, she spoke tentatively.

“So, William, you’ve been angry since dinner, not because of Lydia, but because of… me?”

He was afraid that she would fall in love with Bruno before she could figure out who Bruno was, so he treated Bruno

coldly and even tried to drive him away with a bad attitude.

He seemed to be really… cute.

Cierra couldn’t hold back her laughter.

William’s face darkened. “Why do you smile?”

Cierra smiled even more happily. “Of course. Why can’t I smile since I know you care about me?”

She stepped forward, took his arm, and smiled sweetly at him.

“Thank you, William. I apologize for blaming you wrongly. But you don’t have to be too hostile to him. I haven’t been

with him yet. Don’t worry.”

“Don’t worry?”

William did not break away from her grasp. Instead, he lowered his eyelids and glanced at her indifferently.

“You call him Bruno, and you call him so intimately. How can I not worry?”

“Then… then how should I address him?”

Cierra felt a little guilty after being stared at by William.

It was true that she had not been with Bruno yet, but she still wanted to give it a try.

Therefore, she didn’t dare to look straight at William then.

She looked away and defended Bruno.

“I’ve heard about what happened to the West family, but Bruno and Ryan both grew up in the Cambre family. Isn’t it

a little too much for you to compare him with those people of the West family in the past? He’s a good person, but

you…”

“You said that a man didn’t deceive you. You haven’t even been together yet, and you’re already siding with him.

What would happen if you actually get together?”

Before Cierra could finish her words, she interrupted him impatiently.

Cierra was embarrassed.

She could tell that William was prejudiced against her or even her family, so she didn’t refute or argue.

Anyway, she would go to New York tomorrow and had nothing to do with her.

As for Bruno, she knew what to do.

If they found that the man had a bad personality, she naturally wouldn’t interact with him too much.

But for now, she thought William was very polite and there was nothing wrong with it.

“Well, William, I know you care about me. I know what I’m doing. Next time, I’ll be on guard against this jerk, okay?”

In order to prevent further discussion, Cierra could only temporarily let Bruno bear the infamy and followed

William’s line of thoughts and supported him.

This calculation was naturally clearly seen through by William.

He sneered and said, “Let me tell you, if you want to date him, I won’t object. But if you want to marry into the

West family in Chicago, I’ll break your legs!”

Cierra didn’t answer.

“No, I didn’t even hold anyone’s hands. How could they talk about marriage all of a sudden?” She thought.

They had thought about it too much.

She found it hard to believe what, William had just said.

But for some reason, she still wanted to refute it.

“What if I fall in love with him in the future then?”

As soon as she said it, she regretted it, especially when she saw the anger in William’s eyes.

“What was she talking about?” William thought.

It was still too early for her to say so.

She didn’t even say she had fallen in love with Draven either.

Fortunately, William didn’t scold her anymore. He just snorted softly.

“Isn’t Bruno interested in you? Let’s see how sincere he is. If he likes you, and you must fall in love with him as well,

then we may let him marry into our family.”

He didn’t want to help Bruno deal with the mess of the West family.

It was annoying.

Hearing this, Cierra fell silent.

To be honest, she was a little tempted by the idea.

If possible, she hoped to stay with her parents after marriage.

If she could find a husband who was willing to live with her family and was willing to respect her, her marriage

would not seem so terrible.

“Cici, are you really going to…”

Looking at the thoughtful expression on Cierra’s face, William couldn’t help but interrupt her.

“What? I don’t have any plans.”

Cierra played dumb and tried to change the topic.

“By the way, William,” She said.

“How’s your discussion with Mom and Dad about the betrothal gifts for Lydia? Mom said that the gifts can’t be too

expensive, which will make it seem like she’s buying a daughter-in-law in this marriage. But it’s not appropriate to

give her some random gift. It will make the Navarro family feel that we don’t value Lydia enough. What do you

think?”

“It’s none of your business.”

He glanced at her coldly.

Cierra said grumpily, “Why not my business? If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have had a good relationship with

Lydia. In a sense, I am your matchmaker. If this succeeds, you’ll have to give me some payback. You know what to

do!”

“You wish.”

William still didn’t want to give in, but it was obvious that his tone was much more cheerful.

He was probably in a good mood when he thought of returning to New York tomorrow to see Lydia, and his anger at

Bruno seemed dispelled.

Cierra pretended to punch him. “Why are you so stingy?”

“That’s right. You know who I am.”

She didn’t answer.

The two of them entered the house, bickering as if the previous conflict had never happened.

In the house, the family was watching TV in the living room. When they saw the two of them coming in, they

couldn’t help smiling.

At the same time, they somehow felt quite relieved seeing them in laughter.

They all felt very regretful. If only they could keep their little girl by their side!

They knew that time could not be reversed, but every time they thought about how sweet the family life was, they

would think of what Cici had suffered outside.

They were also a little angry with the Boyle family.

It was a great retribution.

When the news of Aleah’s death appeared on the news, everyone was shocked.

Not only the Barton family but also the netizens were surprised.

Cierra saw the news in the hospital ward She was waiting for Draven to finish his meal. The news was playing in the

ward. When she heard Aleah’s name, she couldn’t help raising her head.

When she saw the title of the news clearly, she was even more shocked.
