Chapter 220

Self-Righteous

Cierra was shocked, and a helpless expression appeared on her bright face.

She didn’t have time to think about it and quickly got up to catch up.

The other two people in the office were also stunned and followed her.

Children ran very fast, and there were a lot of things in the Mr. Barton’s office. In the blink of an eye, the
short child ran away.

When Cierra came out, she only saw a blurry figure. She followed him to the corridors of each office
area. When she looked up, he only saw people sitting at their desks. She couldn’t see Will at all.

Guilt and unease filled her body in an instant. She didn’t expect things to turn out like this.

She was too self-righteous.

She thought that the little fellow treated her differently. Last night, when he stuck to her arms and
complained about his grievances to her, Will didn’t tell anyone but came to her alone.

So she tried to guide Will to see the current situation as an elder. He couldn’t let everyone wait for
someone he couldn’t find.

But even so, she shouldn’t have looked for him so bluntly.

Moreover, they had only known each other for a day or two. How could she know how many things he
had hidden in his heart?

Cierra was too full of herself and cursed herself in her heart.



“Don’t worry. The exit of the top floor requires permission. He won’t get lost.”

Jaquan’s calm voice came from behind her. He patted Cierra gently on the shoulder and said, “I’ll get
someone to check the surveillance video later. You don’t have to look for it blindly.”

When Cierra saw him, the guilt in her heart grew even stronger. “…I’m sorry, Jaquan Barton.”

Jaquan could still laugh out loud.

“You’ll know when you stay at home for a little longer. This is not the first time that this kid has dared to
do this. If he can hide better, he can sleep outside for the whole afternoon and come back when he is
hungry. My parents and I are used to it.”

“… Really, really?”

Cierra looked at him and blinked her eyes in disbelief.

Jaquan couldn’t help touching her head and said with a gentle smile, “Yes. I heard that when you and
William come back yesterday, he also lost his temper and hid. Mom even drove Cherry out. Is

that true?”

Thinking of what had happened yesterday, Cierra’s heart was filled with anger.

It could be seen from Jaquan Barton’s tone that he didn’t seem to know anything about Cherry at all.
He even sounded a little intimate with her.

‘Her face darkened and she defended Will. “It’s not like Will lost his temper for no reason. There was a
reason for him to hide yesterday, so it’s natural for him to chase Ms. Riley out. It’s the same today. It’s
my fault for not knowing what’s appropriate.”

Seeing that she was so serious, Jaquan was slightly stunned.



Then, the gentleness in his eyes rippled again. “You.”

He couldn’t help but knock…

Her forehead and looked at Cierra helplessly.

“You said that you don’t know what’s appropriate, but what you said is in my heart. I’ve heard what

you

said to Will just now. You’re right. What if that woman can’t be found? Do I have to live like this for the
rest of my life and watch her marry someone else?”

He lowered his gaze and inadvertently glanced at a certain desk.

They didn’t know where she was. The office was empty, and there was only a thin blanket on the

back.

In addition to a lot of documents on her desk, there were also some fashionable books, casual snacks,
and a lot of other things, which were very different from her usual business style.

There was a bottle of flowers in the upper left corner of the table. He knew that it would be changed
every week. The purple baby’s breath was matched with other bouquets.

There was a sunflower last week, and this week was a bunch of daisies.

It was as if she was treating the office as her home.

Jaquan withdrew his gaze and said softly, “Fortunately, Cierra, you reminded me today. Otherwise, I
might regret it in the future.”



For the sake of a woman he had never seen before, he turned a blind eye to his lover.

He was really s*upid.

“But… Will.”

Cierra was worried that Will wouldn’t be able to accept it.

“He has to accept it sooner or later. If it weren’t for you, he might have used a crueler way to let him

know in the future.”

He was not as patient as Cierra.

If one day he figured out what Cierra had said today, he would only tell him more directly instead of
coaxing him in a gentle voice like she did.

So what if he couldn’t take the blow?

If the boys of the Barton family couldn’t even withstand such a small blow, how could they have a
foothold in the future?

Furthermore, it was impossible for him to sacrifice himself to coax his son.

It was his responsibility to raise him. It was too much.

Cierra understood what Jaquan meant. Her expression softened a little, but she was still worried. “What
if he find his mother in the future?”

He missed his mother so much. If he really found that woman….

Jaquan interrupted her in time.



“Even if I find her, will I marry her for the sake of the person in front of me? She is even willing to
abandon her own child. On such a cold day, she was left at the door of the Barton family. I don’t think
such a woman is worthy of being a mother.”

“I understand.”

Cierra heaved a sigh of relief and curled her lips at Jaquan. “Let’s talk about this later. Let’s go find

Will first.”

“Yes.”

As soon as they finished speaking, they went to the monitoring room side by side.

What they didn’t know was that behind the door separated by a wall, the last few words had been
heard by one of them.

Wanda didn’t mean to eavesdrop.

When she came out of the bathroom, she heard someone talking next to her, so she went out
awkwardly.

She didn’t expect to hear this.

She left the child at the door of the store in the snow. Such a woman doesn’t deserve to be a mother.

Even if he found her, would he marry her for the sake of the person in front of him?

These words were enough to make her give up completely.



The person behind the wall was in a daze for a long time, and her face was extremely pale. It was not
until someone passed by the bathroom that she pursed her lips and walked away with a gloomy

face.

It was as if nothing had happened.

However, only Wanda knew that she was not as calm as she looked.

She couldn’t read any of the numbers on the computer, and the cold words of Jaquan kept repeating

in her mind.

She didn’t deserve to be a mother.

That’s right. She had been pregnant for nine months, but she had abandoned the child just like that.
How could she be worthy of being a mother?

But if Jaquan didn’t love her, why wouldn’t she dare to say it?

But that’s good…

She had seen the girl just now. She was very beautiful and looked a little like him. They were probably
husband and wife.

The child also liked her very much. Presumably, the girl would not mistreat him.

She looked kind. Even if she had a new baby in the future, she would treat the child well.

But in the end, she was not his biological mother…

“Wanda, are you all right?”



While Wanda was in a daze, her colleague knocked on the table.

She came back to her senses and hid the emotions in her eyes. “I was thinking about something just
now. I’m sorry. Is there anything I can do for you?”

It was Laura, a new employee of Mr. Barton’s office. She liked to gossip in the department’s work

chat group, and Wanda didn’t like her very much.

Due to work considerations, she did not show it clearly.

No one knew if it was because she was insensitive or on purpose, but Laura held the coffee in her

hand and walked up to Wanda with the phone.

“Wanda, do you know who the beautiful woman next to the Mr. Barton is? Mr. Barton loves this beauty
so much. Look at the way he looks at her!”
