Chapter 220
Divorced but Delighted
Chapter 220 Self-Righteous Cierra was shocked, and a helpless expression appeared on her bright face.
She didnât have time to think about it and quickly got up to catch up.
The other two people in the office were also stunned and followed her.
Children ran very fast, and there were a lot of things in the Mr. Bartonâs office. In the blink of an eye, the short child ran away.
When Cierra came out, she only saw a blurry figure. She followed him to the corridors of each office area. When she looked up, he only saw people sitting at their desks. She couldnât see Will at all.
Guilt and unease filled her body in an instant. She didnât expect things to turn out like this.
She was too self-righteous.
She thought that the little fellow treated her differently. Last night, when he stuck to her arms and complained about his grievances to her, Will didnât tell anyone but came to her alone.
So she tried to guide Will to see the current situation as an elder. He couldnât let everyone wait for someone he couldnât find.
But even so, she shouldnât have looked for him so bluntly.
Moreover, they had only known each other for a day or two. How could she know how many things he had hidden in his heart?
Cierra was too full of herself and cursed herself in her heart.
âDonât worry. The exit of the top floor requires permission. He wonât get lost.â
Jaquanâs calm voice came from behind her. He patted Cierra gently on the shoulder and said, âIâll get someone to check the surveillance video later.
You donât have to look for it blindly.â
When Cierra saw him, the guilt in her heart grew even stronger. â...Iâm sorry, Jaquan Barton.â
Jaquan could still laugh out loud.
âYouâll know when you stay at home for a little longer. This is not the first time that this kid has dared to do this. If he can hide better, he can sleep outside for the whole afternoon and come back when he is hungry. My parents and I are used to it.â
â... Really, really?â
Cierra looked at him and blinked her eyes in disbelief.
Jaquan couldnât help touching her head and said with a gentle smile, âYes. I heard that when you and William come back yesterday, he also lost his temper and hid. Mom even drove Cherry out. Is that true?â
Thinking of what had happened yesterday, Cierraâs heart was filled with anger.
It could be seen from Jaquan Bartonâs tone that he didnât seem to know anything about Cherry at all. He even sounded a little intimate with her.
âHer face darkened and she defended Will. âItâs not like Will lost his temper for no reason. There was a reason for him to hide yesterday, so itâs natural for him to chase Ms. Riley out. Itâs the same today. Itâs my fault for not knowing whatâs appropriate.â
Seeing that she was so serious, Jaquan was slightly stunned.
Then, the gentleness in his eyes rippled again. âYou.â
He couldnât help but knock...
Her forehead and looked at Cierra helplessly.
âYou said that you donât know whatâs appropriate, but what you said is in my heart. Iâve heard what you said to Will just now. Youâre right. What if that woman canât be found? Do I have to live like this for the rest of my life and watch her marry someone else?â
He lowered his gaze and inadvertently glanced at a certain desk.
They didnât know where she was. The office was empty, and there was only a thin blanket on the back.
In addition to a lot of documents on her desk, there were also some fashionable books, casual snacks, and a lot of other things, which were very different from her usual business style.
There was a bottle of flowers in the upper left corner of the table. He knew that it would be changed every week. The purple babyâs breath was matched with other bouquets.
There was a sunflower last week, and this week was a bunch of daisies.
It was as if she was treating the office as her home.
Jaquan withdrew his gaze and said softly, âFortunately, Cierra, you reminded me today. Otherwise, I might regret it in the future.â
For the sake of a woman he had never seen before, he turned a blind eye to his lover.
He was really s*upid.
âBut... Will.â
Cierra was worried that Will wouldnât be able to accept it.
âHe has to accept it sooner or later. If it werenât for you, he might have used a crueler way to let him know in the future.â
He was not as patient as Cierra.
If one day he figured out what Cierra had said today, he would only tell him more directly instead of coaxing him in a gentle voice like she did.
So what if he couldnât take the blow?
If the boys of the Barton family couldnât even withstand such a small blow, how could they have a foothold in the future?
Furthermore, it was impossible for him to sacrifice himself to coax his son.
It was his responsibility to raise him. It was too much.
Cierra understood what Jaquan meant. Her expression softened a little, but she was still worried. âWhat if he find his mother in the future?â
He missed his mother so much. If he really found that woman....
Jaquan interrupted her in time.
âEven if I find her, will I marry her for the sake of the person in front of me? She is even willing to abandon her own child. On such a cold day, she was left at the door of the Barton family. I donât think such a woman is worthy of being a mother.â
âI understand.â
Cierra heaved a sigh of relief and curled her lips at Jaquan. âLetâs talk about this later. Letâs go find Will first.â
âYes.â
As soon as they finished speaking, they went to the monitoring room side by side.
What they didnât know was that behind the door separated by a wall, the last few words had been heard by one of them.
Wanda didnât mean to eavesdrop.
When she came out of the bathroom, she heard someone talking next to her, so she went out awkwardly.
She didnât expect to hear this.
She left the child at the door of the store in the snow. Such a woman doesnât deserve to be a mother.
Even if he found her, would he marry her for the sake of the person in front of him?
These words were enough to make her give up completely.
The person behind the wall was in a daze for a long time, and her face was extremely pale. It was not until someone passed by the bathroom that she pursed her lips and walked away with a gloomy face.
It was as if nothing had happened.
However, only Wanda knew that she was not as calm as she looked.
She couldnât read any of the numbers on the computer, and the cold words of Jaquan kept repeating Divorced but Delighted in her mind.
She didnât deserve to be a mother.
Thatâs right. She had been pregnant for nine months, but she had abandoned the child just like that. How could she be worthy of being a mother?
But if Jaquan didnât love her, why wouldnât she dare to say it?
But thatâs good...
She had seen the girl just now. She was very beautiful and looked a little like him. They were probably husband and wife.
The child also liked her very much. Presumably, the girl would not mistreat him.
She looked kind. Even if she had a new baby in the future, she would treat the child well.
But in the end, she was not his biological mother...
âWanda, are you all right?â
While Wanda was in a daze, her colleague knocked on the table.
She came back to her senses and hid the emotions in her eyes. âI was thinking about something just now. Iâm sorry. Is there anything I can do for you?â
It was Laura, a new employee of Mr. Bartonâs office. She liked to gossip in the departmentâs work chat group, and Wanda didnât like her very much.
Due to work considerations, she did not show it clearly.
No one knew if it was because she was insensitive or on purpose, but Laura held the coffee in her hand and walked up to Wanda with the phone.
âWanda, do you know who the beautiful woman next to the Mr. Barton is? Mr. Barton loves this beauty so much. Look at the way he looks at her!â
