Cierra’s Appearance
A woman’s voice came from behind the trees, shattering the tense atmosphere that had been brewing
between them all.
Everyone turned their heads in the direction of the sound, especially Draven, who immediately looked
in the direction of the familiar voice, hoping to catch a glimpse of the face that had been haunting him in
his dreams.
Belle was also curious about this niece she had never met before.
She didn’t notice the change in Draven’s expression and craned her neck to get a better
view.
Cherry, on the other hand, was less impressed.
To her, Cierra was just a wild girl they had found somewhere, and she couldn’t understand why
everyone was paying so much attention to her.
After all, Cierra had been raised outside the family for over twenty years now and probably didn’t have
any feelings for the family. She wondered why Sarah and Jaquan were so eager to welcome Cierra
back into the fold.
It was not like she had grown up with them or anything, so why bothered?
She watched with reluctance and curiosity as Cierra slowly emerged from behind the trees, under the
watchful eyes of the others.
Cierra was not wearing a flashy outfit or jewelry, even not a pretty dress.
Her hair was tied up in a simple bun, not a single strand out of place, and she was wearing casual
clothes. She was even in Mrs. Taylor’s old apron.
Despite this, she had a beautiful smile on her face and her eyes were shining with anticipation as if she
was looking forward to meeting someone she had been waiting to see for a long time.
But as she laid eyes on the approaching group, her smile suddenly disappeared, especially when she
saw Draven among them.
She put her hands casually in the pockets of her apron and slowed down as she walked over to
Jaquan, her eyes fixed warily on Draven.
As for Ryan, she didn’t seem to react much at all.
She then saw Belle and Cherry but didn’t know who they were, so she didn’t show much
interest.
Cierra’s appearance seemed to bring back the tension that had been simmering just
below the surface.
Cierra didn’t say anything.
She didn’t know what was going on or why Draven and Ryan were here, or what they
were doing.
And she didn’t know what had been said between Draven and Jaquan before she arrived.
She didn’t want to say anything either, because she didn’t want to get in the way of
Jaquan.
Besides, she didn’t want to talk to Draven at all.
That creepy man!
So she stood quietly behind Jaquan, feeling safe with him here to protect her.
But her small movements unknowingly annoyed someone.
Cherry was already angry at being ignored earlier, and seeing Cierra standing close to Jaquan only
made her more jealous.
She looked at Cierra with contempt.
“Who do you think you are, not even coming out to greet the guests and hiding behind Jaquan?”
Cherry’s angry shout shattered the tense silence, drawing the attention of the others.
Belle looked puzzled, wondering what was going on.
Jaquan remained his usual aloof self.
Cierra regarded Cherry as a fool.
Cierra had thought that Cherry knew she was Jaquan’s younger sister, but apparently Cherry had no
idea.
As soon as she saw Cierra’s cheap clothes as well as her appearance, Cherry dismissed all her
previous assumptions.
Ignoring Jaquan’s cold stare, Cherry continued to complain, “Jaquan, this girl smells like grease. You
should keep your distance from her, in case you get any stains on your expensive shirt!”
Jaquan’s expression grew even colder, especially when Cherry failed to read his mood and tried to
drag Cierra away.
Luckily, Belle was quick to act. She pulled her own embarrassing daughter back.
Then she turned to Jaquan, smiling apologetically. “You know how it is with Cherry. Her brain has never
been the sharpest tool in the shed. She can’t even understand something when you explain it to her
three times. Don’t blame her.”
“Mom!” Cherry protested, but she was cut off by a sudden pain in her waist.
Belle turned her attention to Cierra with a friendly smile.
and “So you’re Cici. I’m your aunt, and I heard you are home finally, so I wanted to come see you.
You’re so pretty, just like your brother, but a bit shorter and thinner. You must have been through a lot.”
She took Cierra’s hand and looked her up and down, as if she really cared about her lost
niece.
Cierra felt uncomfortable under her scrutiny and didn’t like her touch.
She pulled her hand back politely and said, “Auntie.”
Then she glanced at Cherry and forced a smile. “Hey, Cherry.”
Cierra didn’t forget her friend Ryan from New York and greeted him, “Long time no
see.”
As for Draven, she simply ignored him.
He gazed at her with a hint of sadness in his eyes but didn’t show any displeasure.
Ryan was always cheerful no matter where he went. As soon as Cierra greeted him, he’ beamed with a
smile.
“Long time no see, Cici!”
He winked at Cierra and jokingly blew her a kiss, “Or should I call you Ms. Dunphy?”
Cierra was amused by his actions and chuckled, adding, “Call me whatever you like.”
Ryan was always a joker, but he had a friendly personality and knew how to make people happy.
He was a happy-go-lucky guy.
Cierra had no ill feelings toward him. But Draven, who was standing next to Ryan, didn’t seem pleased
and glanced at Ryan coldly.
Ryan shrugged innocently.
In the midst of the greeting, Cherry finally snapped out of her shock.
“You…you are Cici?”
“How many times do I have to introduce her to you, Cherry? Are you really that slow?”
Jaquan’s cold words interrupted Cherry.
Cherry’s arrogance vanished in an instant.
She had never thought that Cierra could be her cousin.
Last time, when Cierra was with William and Jaquan, she held Jaquan’s arm to make
Cherry misunderstand their relationship.
This time was no different. Cierra, dressed in a shabby apron with the smell of cooking oil, was
unrecognizable as Jaquan’s sister.
“What a disgraceful outfit to wear in front of guests. Doesn’t she feel embarrassed?” Cherry silently
criticized in her mind.
But seeing Jaquan’s anger, even someone as slow as Cherry could tell that he was upset because of
her own rudeness to Cierra.
Even though Cierra wasn’t raised by the Dunphy family, she was the true heiress of their bloodline.
Cherry should never have humiliated her in the Dunphy mansion like that.
