Chapter 223 Daddy

Will was so scared that the cup in his hand almost fell to the ground.

Daring not to sit and drink, he quickly jumped off from the sofa, being very good.

"Daddy."

Will was afraid of him.

When at home, he used to hide like this, everyone was worried and called him "baby". Only his

father would scold him.

Will dared not look into his eyes.

On the other side, Wanda was also stunned.

She didn't expect him to show up at this time. She wondered if he had heard what she just said, and

how much.

But on second thought, she didn't think it was a big deal.

He would never marry her, and there's no chance she would marry him.

Wanda glanced at his gloomy face and the worrying Cierra behind him. She swallowed the

bitterness and forced a smile.

"Mr. Barton, I'll go back to work."

They were family, and as an outsider, it was better for her to leave.

Wanda smiled at him and left with the coffee.

"Wait!"

When passing each other, Jaquan suddenly called out to her.

"What can I do for you, Mr. Barton?" she asked politely.

Looking into her dark eyes, Jaquan didn't know how to begin.

He wanted to ask her why she was so sure that he would not marry her?

Or why she would not marry him?

He swallowed back the words on the tip of his tongue, because he was afraid that if he said it, she would resign tomorrow and run far away.

So his expression changed, and his words changed.

"Has this kid been here all this time?"

Stunned, Wanda glanced at the child who was wiping her tears just now.

Now he was in the arms of another lady who was worried and cared about him. He threw his arms

around her neck without any dissatisfaction.

Wanda's heart slowly cooled down and she replied with a "yes".

"When I came in, he was there. Just alone and didn't do anything out of line. Mr. Barton, he

shouldn't have run out like this, but don't be too hard on him."

While she was talking, David kept staring at her.

She was no different from when she was at work, gentle and responsive to all his questions. Jaquan's heart suddenly sank.

He looked unhappy and did not respond to her. "Go back to work."

Then he turned around irritably.

Looking at his back, she pressed her red lips and left without saying anything. The door was

closed. The gloominess on Jaquan's face became even more difficult to hide.

He had to replace someone to vent his rage on.

His disobedient son was the first to bear the brunt.

"Will, why do you always hide? You hide at home, and when you come out you still hide. What if you're abducted? Have you thought about the consequences?"

Will had never seen his father so angry before. He immediately shrank his neck and blinked his big

black eyes as he hugged Cierra tightly.

He pressed his lips, and his usual mature look disappeared.

Now he was like a little boy who was being scolded by his father.

Cierra felt sorry for him. "Jaquan, why are you so fierce? Children of his age are always making trouble, besides it's my fault. I shouldn't have said those words in front of him. If you want to scold someone, scold me!"

Feeling the force of his arms around her neck, Cierra held the little fellow closer to her bosom.

She was afraid that he would scare the little one, so she patted him gently on the back.

Jaquan also knew that he shouldn't have done that. NPHdy

What's more, Wanna had just told him not to be too hard on the kid...

He lowered his eyes with his mind in a whirl.

She had been around him for seven years. Did she really have no feelings for him?

His expression only made Will feel that his father was still angry with him, so he didn't dare to say anything.

Cierra felt a headache coming on when she saw the father and son's expressions.

She had already taken all the blame. Seeing that the father and son did not speak, she felt guilty and

uneasy.

In the end, Cierra was unable to contain herself and tried to coax him by coquetry.

"Well, it's all my fault. I'm starving. Can you knock off and let's go back for dinner?" She curled her lip and looked at him pitifully.

Hearing this, Jaquan, who was lost in thought, also came to his senses.

Seeing the helpless expression on Cierra's face, his depression dissipated a lot.

He got up and glanced at his watch.

There was still half an hour to go before he got off work. Usually, people would be a little hungry at

this time.

The company always offered afternoon tea for employees so they would not feel too hungry. But Cierra probably didn't eat anything in the afternoon. After she took Will to the company, she only had a little juice. So she must be hungry now.

His expression had returned to normal, and he said in a low voice, "Hmm."

"I'll take you out to eat. The delicacies in Los Angeles may not be as good as those in New York's L'Opera Restaurant, but there are also regional specialties. You can have a taste."

"Okay! Thank you, Jaquan!"

Cierra had no prejudice against domestic cuisine.

Even if the taste might not as good as that of L'Opera Restaurant, she could still discover its advantages. No matter how bad it tasted, it would have some saving point! Anyway, it was better than some of the food abroad.

Moreover, the delicacies in Los Angeles had a long history and were full of local characteristic.

Every place had its own delicacies. It couldn't be said that they couldn't compare. It could only be Caddy

said that the tastes of people from all over the world were different.

"I heard that there is also a chain restaurant in Los Angeles that is quite famous. It seems to be called the Sapidity Restaruant, and it has a long history."

Speaking of food, Cierra had something to say.

Yesterday, she had a chat with her junior fellow apprentice.

This time, Freddy came to Los Angeles only to see how Cierra was doing, but to attend the Gourmet Convention on behalf of L'Opera Restaurant.

The Gourmet Convention was held once every three years in their catering circle. The leaders of the catering circle all over the country selected a young junior to participate in the competition as a cultural exchange for the restaurant.

But in a competition, it was inevitable that everyone wanted to win.

If one won, he would naturally be happy and it was a good way to verify his craftsmanship.

Not only did he prove his family's inheritance in front of the big shots in the circle, but he also made an advertisement.

Therefore, the Gourmet Convention held every three years was getting bigger and bigger. He heard from Freddy that it should have been held last month, but the boss of the Sapidity Restaurant had something to deal with something at home, so it was postponed for this month.

Cierra was quite interested in this Gourmet Convention, thinking that she would definitely attend it with Freddy by then.

But now, tasting delicious food was more important.

Jaquan was not stingy with his words. He said with a smile in his eyes, "You're right. The dish here

is indeed a delicacy in Los Angeles, and it has something to do with our family."

Cierra raised an eyebrow, "Is that so? Then shall we go get a discount?"

Jaquan laughed and said, "Let's go and eat. The Sapidity Restaurant is open to the public, and it had been carried forward in the hands of our uncle. What do you think?"

Cierra sucked in a cold breath.

Good heavens.

She didn't know until now!
