Divorced but Delighted By Millie Huffman

Chapter 2 Birthday

Cierra was silent for a while.

After a long time, she said in a relaxed tone, “I didn’t die anyway, and I was lucky to find
you. They raised me, so, I’ll just turn the page.”

The sin offset their kindness in raising her.

“Cierra…”

William seemed to want to say something, but someone suddenly knocked on the door.

Cierra ignored the person outside the door. “William, I know what you
want to say. But I don’t want to cause trouble now. I just hope that my future will have n
othing to do with them!”

The kidnapping failed, and even if there was evidence, the Trevino family would deny it.
If Cierra could not show conclusive evidence, the Trevino family would accuse her of sla
ndering them.

If the Boyle family knew that her biological parents were from the Barton family, they wo
uld
probably ask the Barton family for benefits greedily with the excuse of raising Cierra.

Therefore, Cierra just wanted to divorce as soon as possible and cut off her relationship
with the Boyle family. Even if her identity was found out by the Boyle family in the future,
it would not bring trouble to her family.

The knocking on the door became rapid.

“Alright, William, I have something to do. I have to go. Let’s talk next time.” Cierra didn’t
want more words.

She hung up.

She was not in a hurry to open the door. When the knocking became more rapid, Cierra
tidied up her bangs and slowly walked

over.

The moment the door was opened, the man outside was still holding his hand high, and
his face showed impatience.
Cierra looked up and said softly, “Anything else?”

The two simple words showed a sense of alienation.

Draven unconsciously frowned. After putting down his hand, he said indifferently, “Tomo
rrow will be Aleah’s birthday. The Boyle family has a banquet. Get everything else off yo
ur schedule. I will come back in the afternoon to pick you up.”

Cierra blinked.

Aleah.

His tone was so sweet.

“Alright, anything else?” Cierra asked with a smile.

Draven
looked at Cierra’s pretty face. Her emotions could not be read because her eyes were c
overed by her hair. She just

calmly accepted it.

“Nothing. Rest early,” Draven said as he was about to turn around.

“Wait.”

Cierra called out to him.

She entered the room and quickly came back. She handed over the divorce
agreement he gave her a while ago.

“I have signed it. Take the time to complete the formalities. As for the certificate, you ca
n send it to me when it’s convenient for you. The address is on the last page.”

Draven wasn’t there when they got the marriage certificate. Now that they were going to
get divorced, with his power, the formalities could be simpler.

Draven looked at the document that

was handed over. His gaze shifted to Cierra’s excessively calm face, and there was no l
onger any sadness on it.

His
Adam’s apple rolled, and his voice was low and hoarse. “Didn’t you say that you needed
some time to digest it?”

“Will it change anything?”

Cierra felt sore on her hand because she raised it for a long time and just stuffed the agr
eement into Draven’s arms. “And tomorrow is Aleah’s birthday. She should be happy to
know about this news.”

Draven was caught off guard and slowly took the document.

He lowered his head. “What about you?”

“What?”

Draven’s voice was low, so Cierra could not hear it.

“Nothing.”

He put away the document, and after he came back to his senses, he looked at Cierra’s
face. “Rest early.”

“You too.” Cierra took a step back

As soon as Cierra finished speaking, the door was slammed shut.

Draven looked at the tightly closed door, and his face turned gloomy.

What lingered in his mind was Cierra’s faint smile. He looked down at the document in h
is hand and turned to leave.

Cierra received a call from the Boyle family the next day.

Vanessa Foley, Cierra’s adoptive mother, asked about the marriage between Cierra and
Draven in a roundabout way.

Cierra was at odds with the Boyle family. She told the truth. “Vanessa, last night, Drave
n gave me a divorce agreement. I have signed it.”

Not long after Aleah returned, she was reprimanded by the Boyle couple. She then calle
d the couple by their names. If not for her marriage to Draven and
the reputation of these two families, Cierra might have been kicked out.

But even if she stayed, she didn’t live a good life in those years.

Hearing that Cierra had signed the divorce agreement, Vanessa changed her cautious t
one and became arrogant
and contemptuous as if she was sympathizing with Cierra. “Today is Aleah’s birthday. C
ome over and see the grant scene.”

Cierra looked down to hide the coldness in her eyes and replied, “Okay.”

Vanessa would hang up after the order was given.

But today, she paused and added with sarcasm and warning, “Ernest was muddle–
headed and randomly paired you up Draven. But things are back on the right track now.
Cierra, don’t be reluctant. You are lowly, and you are not worthy of the Trevino family. If
you were not adopted by the Boyle family, I’m afraid you would never have had the cha
nce to be married. into a rich family in your life. You might die on the streets one day. B
esides, if not for you, Aleah wouldn’t have been away from home for so many years. Sh
e even suffered from an illness. You have to be grateful. Although her condition has sta
bilized, she can’t stand any provocation. As her older sister, you owe her so much, so y
ou should care for her.”

Vanessa’s words were full of disdain for Cierra. After threatening Cierra’s life, she used t
he deed of raising Cierra as moral coercion. However, Cierra was just a baby back then.
If not for the mistake made by the nurse because of the earthquake, Cierra would be th
e apple of the eye of the top family, the Barton family.

“I understand.”

Cierra responded flatly and packed her suitcase.

No her belongings were in the villa. She came with just a suitcase
and would leave with it.

Vanessa snorted and hung up.

Suddenly, there was a whistle outside the villa.

Draven did not get out of the car. Instead, he called Cierra and said, “Get down.”
