Chapter 219 Sadness

Cierra had noticed Wanda the moment she entered the door.

She thought that she was just Jaquan Barton's assistant, so she came in, put down the documents, and left. Unexpectedly, she was in a daze and looked very sad. 'Wanda also realized that she had lost her composure and quickly apologized.

"Sorry..."

Without saying much, she put down the computer and left quickly. Looking at her back, she seemed to be running away.

Cierra stared at her for a long time.

It was not until Jaquan brought her some water that she came to her senses.

She unscrewed the juice and took a sip. The sweet and sour taste filled her mouth, and she spat out

the words.

"Jaquan Barton, was that lady just now your assistant?"

"Yes."

Jaquan responded in a low voice and looked out through the one-way glass. He could just see the thin figure in Mr. Barton's office. Withdrawing his gaze, he looked down and asked, "What's wrong?"

Cierra also noticed that the glass of Jaquan Barton's office allowed him to clearly see the location of the lady outside. Although it was one-way, there were printers and all kinds of things outside Mr. Barton's office, which were rarely seen.

There was only one desk. When she looked up, she could see a thin and small person.

"Jaquan Barton, do you like her?"

Jaquan almost choked on his juice and coughed so hard that it was as if he was sick.

Seeing this, Cierra couldn't be bothered with her questions and quickly went over to pat Jaquan Barton on the back.

"I'm just asking. Don't get too excited!"

Jaquan raised his hand and stopped her in a low voice. "Don't pat him. Don't send me away with

your strength."

Cierra immediately stopped and smiled awkwardly. "I'm sorry, I couldn't control myself."

She really didn't know what to do with the spoon.

Seeing that Jaquan was much better now, she put down the juice in her hand and began to trace back to what had happened just now. "So, Jaquan Barton, do you like her?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the old and young also p*icked up their ears and stared straight at

Jaquan.

Jaquan's expression remained unchanged as he glanced at the figure outside the door from the corner of his eye.

"What are you guessing? Little girl, are you thinking about this all day long?"

"I'm divorced. I'm not a little girl."

Cierra grumbled unhappily.

With a slight shift of her gaze, she could see the thin figure

she was alone.

sidethrough the glass. Moreover,

Cierra didn't believe that Jaquan Barton didn't have any other thoughts.

And the look in the lady's eyes just now...

She frowned.

"Jaquan Barton, are you really not interested in her at all? She seem to like you." Hearing this, Jaquan was stunned.

He froze for a moment, feeling that he didn't know where to put his hands and feet.

At the same time, he spoke in a casual tone, but there was a hint of caution in it.

"How do you know that she likes me?"

"A woman's intuition."

Cierra blinked.

She could feel that no matter how hard she tried to hide her feelings for him, there would still be dlues.

What's more, the young lady had made it so obvious just now.

In the past, when she liked Draven, it was the same.

She was so scared that she hid carefully.

Because of the fact that Draven liked Aleah, she was afraid of being called a mistress at that time, so she secretly came to the Trevino family with Ernest's help in order to take a few more glances at

him.

It was as if Jaquan Barton's glass door was opened just to look up at the person outside.

Sometimes, she would panic because of Draven. For example, when he treated Aleah well, she would be stunned and didn't know what to do.

It was as if the young lady who had just come in with a computer was stunned and didn't know what to do.

No matter what, Cierra wouldn't believe that Jaquan Barton had nothing to do with her.

However, Jaquan sneered at her intuition and said with a chuckle, "Don't make wild guesses. She has been with me for seven years and has been with me since I took over the company. If she really likes me, why hasn't she shown any signs to me yet?"

"What about you?"

Cierra retorted.

Jaquan was stunned and did not understand what Cierra was talking about. "What do you mean?"

Cierra said, "You said that she didn't express her feelings for you, so why didn't you take the initiative to love her? Jaquan Barton, you're still a boy. How can you let her take the initiative?" Jaquan was even more stunned. "But... but she doesn't like me. If I take the initiative, doesn't that

mean..."

Wouldn't that scare her away?

He didn't take the initiative. After all, she had always been by his side.

One or two years, just like this for the rest of his life.

But if they couldn't be friends, where could he replace her?

Cierra finally understood.

It was not without reason that Jaquan Barton had been single for so many years.

She gently sighed and touched Will's little head. For a moment, she didn't know what to say about Jaquan Barton, so she could only helplessly look at her father, trying to replace the same feeling.

On the other hand, Charle's considerations were far-reaching.

At this moment, he looked serious. "Jaquan, if you really like her, you can pursue her. Girls all need being coaxed."

"If you coax her and flatter her, she'll always have a little interest in you. I know that your assistant, she has done a good job all these years. I have no objection about your relationship, but no matter what, I have to consider Will's opinion."

Will had been silent for a long time, and his face darkened.

It was at this moment that Cierra realized this problem.

She quickly lowered her head to look at Will. When she saw the child's dull and aggrieved expression, she knew that something was wrong.

"Will, don't you like this auntie to be your mother?"

Cierra's heart ached. She kissed Will's forehead guiltily and held the child in her arms.

"If you have any opinions, you can ask Dad. If you don't like her, he will definitely respect your

ideas."

Will pursed his lips.

After a long while, he looked up stubbornly and said, "Can't Dad marry my biological mother?"

There was a moment of silence in the room.

Although Cierra had only returned to the Barton family for two years, she knew that Jaquan Barton. had been looking for that woman for five years.

There had been no news for so many years. He had tried all the methods he could think of, but the

news was always like a stone sinking into the sea.

What if he couldn't replace her?

Could it be that she wanted Jaquan Barton to be alone for the rest of his life?

He was young at the moment, so maybe he didn't care about it.

But he had a lover. Didn't he want to marry the girl he liked?

He had always been alone, and then watched the girl he liked get married to another man, but he couldn't do anything about it.

He kept an eye on the woman in front of him every day, thinking that it was good to be like this.

What about in the future?

In the end, they would grow old.

In this world, it was always unfair to girls. It was said that the older a man was, the more popular he would be. A woman who was not married would become a leftover woman. What if one day a girl outside wanted to settle down?

She proposed to resign. She said that she would go back to her hometown to get married and have children, and she would disappear from Jaquan Barton's sight forever.

And then?

Many years later, what would Jaquan Barton think?

Should he regret it? If he had been braver and hadn't considered his son's feelings...

Of course, if it was too far away, no one knew what would happen in the future.

But now, the most important thing seemed to be to appease this young man.

Cierra got down from the sofa and squatted in front of Will.

She knew that what she was going to say next might be a little cruel, but he couldn't always live in the comfort of fantasy. He had to understand some reality.

"Will, you should know that from the moment you were born, Dad has never given up looking for your mother. He also hopes to replace her and take good care of you. But it's been five years now. There's no news of her at all. What if she's already..."

"Not in this world?"

Seeing the sadness on the child's face, Cierra couldn't bear to see it.

So she changed her words and tried to be as gentle as possible.

"Will, you want Mom to be with you, and Dad also wants the person he likes to be with him, right? If he meets the person he hopes for and misses it, he can only watch his sister marry someone else. How sad will he be..."

"My mother must still be alive in this world. I will definitely replace her!"

Without waiting for Cierra to finish, Will suddenly choked with s*bs and interrupted her. He pushed her away and rushed out crying!
