Divorced but Delighted

Chapter 208 Abandoned

Cierra quickly looked away.

Thinking she had peeked at him for a long time, she still felt slightly embarrassed.

She smiled politely and ill in her arms.

“He was not heavy. I used to practice tossing the wok with sandbags on my arms. It’s ok to hold him.”

When Will heard this, he subconsciously tightened his grip on her and felt sorry for her.

“Cierra put me down. I can walk myself. I’m already five years old. You don’t have to hold me all the time.”

Cierra had suffered a lot outside. When she went home, she would be protected by them. Even if he was young, he could not bully her. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

Considering this, Will was unwilling to let Cierra continue holding him. He struggled to get out of her arms.

Fearing that he would fall, Cierra carefully put him down.

Jaquan watched the whole process silently, smiling.

He stared at Cierra’s thin arms. It was hard to imagine how she made a living outside with a sandbag when she was younger.

It wasn’t until Cierra had coaxed Will and held the little fellow’s soft hand that Nick slowly opened his mouth.

“If you have any difficulties in the future, you can tell me.”

Cierra was slightly stunned, thinking that she had misheard.

She still didn’t dare to get close to Nick. She didn’t expect him to take the initiative to say something like that.

“Ok, thank you!” smiled Cierra immediately.

Nick nodded slightly.

As the moonlight moved, the villa became lively because of the arrival of the group of people.

After an unknown period, all lights on the house were turned off, and the place quieted down, leaving only a dim yellow light in the corridor, warming up there.

After an unknown time, Cierra, still half-asleep, only felt a small head burrow into her embrace.

Because of her experience abroad, Cierra woke up almost instantly.

She didn’t turn on the light. When she saw the person in the dim light, she relaxed.

She yawned and held Will in her arms.

She mumbled, “Why didn’t you sleep well? Why did you come to me?”

“I can’t sleep alone.”

Will’s voice was exceptionally clear.

Cierra laughed softly, but didn’t lecture him on anything.

Jaquan said that the little fellow always slept alone at home. He was not happy to have someone to accompany him. Today, he couldn’t fall asleep independently.

However, she didn’t mind. She would sleep even more soundly with a soft and fragrant baby in her arms.

Will also hugged Cierra and said in a low voice, “You smelled like Mom. I miss her very much.”

“And this afternoon, thank you. I was sad initially, but after you said I can cry, I felt much better.

Cierra, I like you very much.”

As she listened to his words, her drowsiness gradually dissipated. She adapted to the dark environment before looking at her nephews amiably.

“Will, I like you very much too.”

She kissed him on the forehead and softly said, “Can you tell me why you’re hiding today? Did someone bully you?”

In the afternoon, she was so focused on venting her emotions that she forgot to ask about the cause of the matter.

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt the little boy in her arms stiffen.

She patted the child’s back and coaxed him gently, “It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to say it, but you just need to remember that we are doting on you. In the future, no matter who bullies you, you can say it out loud. Don’t be afraid of anything!”

Although her voice was very light, it contained an intense emotion.

Will snuggled into Cierra’s arms and whispered, “It’s Cherry. She bullied me…”

“Cherry?”

Cierra remembered she met Cherry in the old mansion today. “How did she bully you?”

Will bit his lip with a conflicted expression.

Perhaps he was afraid of trouble, or maybe Cherry had said something to him, so he was scared to say it.

Cierra patiently coaxed him, “Don’t be afraid, Will. You’re a child of the Barton family, and that annoying Cherry doesn’t our family. Why should we be afraid of her? As long as you didn’t do anything wrong, our family will uphold justice for you.”

When Will heard this, he wanted to cry.

No one had ever said such a thing to him.

Ever since he could remember, he had no mother by his side, and his father was always very busy. He was taken by the nanny or sent to his grandmother’s place.

Grandma was very good to him but never said these words to him.

As for Cherry…

He sniffed and hugged Cierra tightly.

“She said I was a child with no one to raise. When she married my father, she would ask him to throw me away! She also thought I was annoying and kept looking at her mobile phone, saying I was an illegitimate child….

“Every time she saw me, she said that I was thrown at the door of the Barton family by my mother, that my father and grandmother were kind enough to pick me up, and that I was not a child of the Barton family at all…”

In the end, he felt so wronged that he burst into tears.

“I won’t be thrown away, right? I am not an illegitimate child, right?”

Hearing this, Cierra’s heart ached.

She couldn’t imagine why Cherry could say something like that to a child.

“Not to mention that Will had done a paternity test and had been taken back to the Barton family. Even if someone else had thrown him at the door, they are kind enough to raise him; she shouldn’t have said that in front of the child!

Besides, wasn’t this woman a relative of the Barton family? How dare she covets Jaquan?

Isn’t that a little…”

Cierra was angry and disgusted.

But the most important thing at the moment was to calm him down. She didn’t expect that such a young child would bear

these comments.

More than once.

Will cried so hard in her arms. Cierra worried him as she patted him gently on the back.

“Of course not. Your name is Will Barton. You’re in our family tree. How could you be an unwanted child? You’re not an illegitimate child. Don’t listen to Cherry’s nonsense in the future, understand?”

When Cierra thought of those words, she felt terrible.

From the perspective of his nephews, she felt even more terrible.

She had also been called an illegitimate child and called a child that no one wanted.

When she was in the Boyle family, others scolded her like that every day after Aleah returned.

Sometimes, she thought her family and the world abandoned her.

Fortunately, she was not.

Cierra had never imagined that Will had suffered the same things as her.

He was still a member of the Barton family. How dare Cherry be!
