Divorced but Delighted

Chapter 173

Chapter 173 I Don’t Know

“She’s not my wife.”

Almost subconsciously, Draven blurted out and looked at Cierra seriously. “We’re not married yet. She’s not my wife.”

Cierra almost retorted that she had divorced him, but he still called her Mrs. Trevino in front of

outsiders.

However, to avoid being suspected of being jealous of Aleah, she simply corrected herself. “But everyone knows that you’re going to marry Aleah, right? She’ll become your wife sooner or later. Besides, women are very narrow-minded. If Mrs. Trevino finds out you’re leaving her alone in the hospital to care about me, you’ll have to coax her.”

Draven felt what she said was extremely harsh, especially when he heard her call Aleah “Mrs.

but… Trevino”. It seemed that she shouldn’t have called Aleah Mrs. Trevino,

However, this thought was quickly thrown to the back of his mind.

“I should marry Aleah but why do I avoid the marriage arranged by Ernest? Why do I think Cierra should be the legitimate Mrs. Trevino?” Draven thought.

“I went to see her when she was hospitalized. Now that she’s recovered, there’s no need to keep an eye on her. Besides, I’m not a doctor. Even if her injury is really serious, I can do nothing. As for coaxing her, I didn’t do anything wrong. Why should I do that?”

As Draven explained to her, his impatient gaze fell on Cierra. He said with a look of disappointment, “On the contrary, you’ve been causing trouble all day long. Maybe one day you’ll be taken advantage of by others.”

“How did I cause trouble?” Cierra glared at him, unconvinced.

Draven snorted and kicked the tire of a car behind her. “You injured your leg yesterday, and today your car’s tire is broken. Tell me, what can you do if there’s no one watching over you? Huh?”

As he spoke, he took a step forward in the direction of Cierra, forcing her to retreat,

When her back touched the cold door again, Cierra quickly reacted and pushed the person in front of her away. “Wasn’t it because of you that my leg was injured?”

“How dare you say that?”

“As for my car’s tire, how could I know when my car would have a flat tire? Could it be Cierra glared at him and felt that he was simply unreasonable.

my

fault?”

When Draven saw Cierra’s angry face, he wasn’t depressed any more.

He lowered his eyes and looked into her eyes, which were wide open with anger. He chuckled and

said, “But no matter what, you are in trouble, aren’t you? And now you really need someone else to help you out. Coincidentally, I appeared beside you. So, Miss Boyle, please.”

He made a gentleman’s gesture, obviously wanting to take her away. Seeing that Cierra still stayed where she was, he naturally reached out to pull her.

But before his fingertips could touch her, she avoided him.

Cierra looked up at him, looking a little tired. “Draven, do you really not understand or are you just pretending?”

Draven’s hand paused in the air. Hearing this, he stared at the plain face in front of him.

Draven withdrew his hand indifferently and looked calm, as if he was seriously thinking about what

she meant.

However, he got nothing. In the end, he asked in a low voice, “Then what do you think I should understand? Or why do you think I’m pretending?”

Cierra took a deep breath.

Then, she tried to talk to him patiently, “Draven, we’re divorced, and you’re about to have a new wife and a new family. For you, I can only be considered your ex-wife now. In terms of the law, we have nothing to do with each other. Do you understand?”

“I understand, but so what?”

Draven looked at her seriously, as if he didn’t understand what she wanted to say. Instead, he asked, “Do people’s relationships have to be bound by a law? We are divorced, but we have known each other for more than 20 years. Are you going to destroy our friendship just like that marriage

certificate?”

Cierra pursed her lips.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

She really didn’t want to argue with Draven anymore. She always felt he had his own social theory. No matter what others said, it didn’t make sense.

Whether she still had feelings for him or not, they were divorced. If she still kept in close touch with him, she would be regarded as the mistress.

In the past, with the legal marriage certificate, she was his wife. But now, she was not his wife, so she could no longer have an intimate relationship with him.

Even if others thought that it didn’t matter if he helped her, she couldn’t get over it.

When she was Mrs. Trevino, she hated and envied Aleah for what Draven had done for her. But now, since she was not his wife, she was not qualified to envy Aleah, nor was she willing to become

someone like Aleah.

Since he didn’t understand, she would make it clear.

She closed her eyes and opened them again, looking straight at him.

“Yes, we have known each other for more than 20 years. But have you ever thought why we divorced? At that time, I liked you and loved you, so I was willing to marry you. It was also because I was well well of my identity that I endured everything, but it didn’t mean that I didn’t have any

emotions.

“Every time Aleah asked you for something, you would satisfy her. I felt very disgusted by your behavior. Why didn’t you give me a toy to tease me? Why did you turn a blind eye to me or scold me every time you saw me?

“Later, I finally married you, and it was you who proposed to me. I thought I could be a good wife. and take good care of you, but what about you?

“You sent me abroad because of Aleah. You only knew that I nodded and agreed, but do you know what I was thinking? I was your wife but why did you send me away for another woman? If she really didn’t want to see me, why didn’t she leave?

“But I know who I am, so I accepted your arrangement. When I was abroad, I had been waiting for your call for the first days, but you didn’t. The news I got was that you started a company for Aleah and made her a big star. You two are a perfect match.

“Now we are divorced and you begin to care about me. Have you ever thought about whether Aleah. will be jealous of me and become who I used to be?”

The words that she had been holding back in her heart for so many years were spoken by Cierra. Her eyes had already turned red, and she looked at the man in front of her with complicated emotions.

Draven was shocked by her words. He opened his mouth but didn’t know what to say.

After a long while, he said apologetically, “I… I don’t know.”

Cierra chuckled, and her eyes seemed to be misty. “Of course you don’t know. I didn’t say that and

you didn’t ask me. How did you know?”
