Divorced but Delighted
Chapter 204

Chapter 204 Base on What

Sure enough, William's face darkened.

However, Mr. Barton had not noticed it yet, so he maintained the majesty of a father and continued.

"In the past, when your sister was in New York, you could take care of her there. Now that she is back, our family is all in Los Angeles. Don't be alone in New York. Choose a time to move the company back as soon as possible. I don't object to you working in the entertainment industry..."

"Do I need you to object?"

Before Charle could finish his words, William interrupted him indifferently.

"What did you say?"

Charle probably didn't expect him to react like this, so he was momentarily stunned.

"I said you don't need to object to what I do."

William didn't respond with his usual lazy tone but stared indifferently at Charle. He revealed an arrogant and unruly aura.

Cierra was close to him. She tugged at his arm, hoping that William could control his emotions.

However, as soon as she touched William's sleeve, he shook her off.

He stood from the sofa and said flatly, "Have you ever cared about me since I was a child? If not, what right do you have to order me?" Jaquan brought him up. If Jaquan didn't say anything, what right did he have to say it?

Why should he go home and move the company as soon as he was asked to?

He had not fulfilled his responsibility as a father, so why did he have to talk to him in such a teaching tone?

Before Charle could come to his senses.

At his age, no one had ever dared to speak to him in such a tone.

In an instant, Charle was enraged as well.

He slammed the table, and there was a dull sound on the wooden coffee table, followed by his

furious tone.

"Who taught you to speak to your father in such a tone? How old are you? How rude!"

William picked up the suit on the sofa and put it on.

"No one taught me. It's also because no one taught me that I was so rude. Are you satisfied with this answer?"

After saying that, William looked away indifferently and went straight away.

"William."

Seeing this, Cierra couldn't sit still anymore. She picked up her phone and chased after him.

Fearing their parents worried, she said before leaving, "I'll talk to William, and Jaquan should talk to Mom and Dad too. Don't follow us. I'll be back soon!"

"Cici."

The people in the room couldn't stop them, and they were even more worried that if they caught up with them, it would backfire. After shouting, they didn't follow them. They were just worried and looked at the darkness outside.

The Barton family's old mansion was large, and only a few dim street lamps were lit along the stone path, scattering on the ground through the shade of the trees. Cierra came out a little late, and William walked faster; there was no sign of him after walking

around in a circle.

"William."

When she arrived at a fork, Cierra trotted after him but didn't know which road to take. She was at a

loss.

"William, can you slow down a bit? At least take me away."

Fearing she would go the wrong way, Cierra stopped at the fork in the road, trying to replace William through the shadows of the lights in front of her. Unfortunately, she couldn't see anything.

The wind blew at night, and she came out hurriedly without putting on her clothes. When the wind

blew, she got goosebumps on her arms.

"William! Are you going back on your words?"

After waiting for a while, Cierra didn't get any response. She picked a wide path and walked forward.

Her voice was choked with s*bs as she called for William.

She had wanted to have a good talk with William today to ease the tension between him and their parents, but she didn't expect they would quarrel first. Rubbing her arms, just as Cierra was about to move forward tentatively, she suddenly heard a light

cough behind her, and someone patted her on the shoulder.

"Ah!"

Frightened, Cierra cried out in alarm.

When she looked up, she saw William's casual eyes.

Without hesitation, she gave him a punch.

"William, you scared me!"

Her fist was not heavy. William looked at her speechlessly and said, "How dare you chase after me alone when you're so timid? Are you out of your mind?" He took off his suit and wrapped it tightly around Cierra as he spoke.

Cierra snorted. "It's all because of you."

Wearing a warm suit on her shoulder, she felt comfortable.

When she felt warm, Cierra also reacted,

"By the way, William, why did you come out from behind me?"

-She didn't go back, either.

He patted her head and said, "Because you're stup*d."

He didn't go far at all.

After she chased after him, he slowed down. However, the girl didn't look around at all. He just stood under the roadside tree and watched her run over. He saw her stup*dly standing at the roadside fork when he followed her.

If it weren't for the fact that she was so anxious that she was about to cry, he wouldn't come out. He planned to see where this stup*d girl was going to replace him. Cierra followed behind him. Rubbing the back of her head, she muttered, "If you continue patting it, I'll be even more stup*d."

William snorted. "So you know you're stup*d."

Cierra didn't argue with him. "Shall we go back? We haven't seen each other with Jaquan and Coby for a long time. Why don't we go out and play later?" She didn't mention their parents. She could tell that there was no estrangement between William

and [aquan.

It was dark outside, so she followed him with her arm on his. She feared she would trip over the pebbles on the ground and William would run away. "Since we're playing, of course, we're going out. Just call Jaquan at the door later. Why should we go back?"

William could guess what Cierra was up to quickly.

She didn't even know how to coax people.

As if she had decided, Cierra said solemnly, "Alright then, let's go out first and call Jaquan later.”

Hearing this, William stopped and looked at Cierra up and down.

"Tell me honestly, what are you up to this time?"

"What bad thoughts can I have?"

Cierra flew into a rage.

So in William's eyes, she was such a person?

She had wanted to wait outside to take out the gift to make him happy, but he thought her like this?

William looked at the angry Cierra and couldn't help but smile. "That's right. You're so stup*d that you can't think of any bad ideas. Let's go. You followed me yourself. Don't blame me for going back on my words."

"You never keep your word."

Cierra complained in a low voice but immediately shut her mouth when she saw William's indifferent gaze.

Unconsciously, William slowed, and his voice returned to its usual laziness.

"I'll stay in Los Angeles for a while. If there's nothing important in the company, I can stay here, but I won't stay with you there."

To be exact, he would not go back there so easily.

Afraid that Cierra would be heartbroken, he did not say anything.

Cierra was overjoyed. "Really?"

William glanced at her. Seeing her bright smile, he didn't react much and just replied with a

"hmm."

When he reached the door, he suddenly stopped.
