Divorced but Delighted
Chapter 231

Chapter 231 She Didn't Want to!

"You!"

Wanda was so shocked by Jaquan's words that she couldn't say a word.

She stared blankly at the tall man in front of her, and her heart was in turmoil.

He...

Did he know what he was talking about?

As if he had heard what she was thinking, Jaquan replied in a serious tone.

"I know very well what I'm talking about, and I'm also very clear about what I'm doing now. Wanda, I like you. Can you not leave?"

Wanda's heart s*ipped a beat.

She took a step back subconsciously, as if she wanted to escape from Jaquan.

Did he like her?

Did Jaquan like her?

How was that possible? How could Mr. Jaquan like her?

Wanda patted herself on the face, took a deep breath, walked around Jaquan,

and muttered to herself.

"It must be an illusion. Really, why am I so happy after leaving the job? How dare I dream with my eyes open? How dare I have such an unrealistic dream..." Wanda thought. Before she could take two steps, someone grabbed her slender wrist.

Caught off guard, Wanda fell into a warm embrace.

She lost her balance and knocked her head on Jaquan's chin, which made her

frown in pain.

"I'm sorry."

Jaquan loosened his grip and looked worriedly at the place where she had been hit. A trace of guilt appeared on his face.

Wanda shook her head gently. "I'm fine..."

She didn't dare to look up at Jaquan and glanced at him in a hurry.

The skin on her wrist, which had just been touched by the man, was burning

hot. It was just a touch, but she felt as if it had been burned.

Even her breathing became nervous.

"Mr. Jaquan, are... are you all right?"

Compared with her forehead, the lower jaw should hurt more.

The functions of the force were complementary. He...

"Of course I'm fine. I'm a man with thick skin. What could happen to me if you

bumped into me? But for you, I was rude just now."

Jaquan raised his eyebrows and said in a gentle voice.

Probably afraid that he would offend her, he took a step back and kept a

normal social distance from her.

Although he had expressed his feelings for her, she did not agree. After all, he could not go too far.

He had been waiting for seven years, so there was no hurry at this moment.

He was patient and planned it slowly.

Wanda also noticed this detail. For some reason, she felt a little disappointed, but also a little happy.

The person she liked was indeed the best.

But... did this mean that he didn't like her that much?

Wanda looked at Jaquan carefully.

She suppressed the bitterness in her heart.

Would a God's favored one like him really fall in love with her?

Wanda had never believed that a fairy tale would happen to her. Even if it did happen, she would not be the protagonist.

Cinderella's father was a duke in the fairy tale, which gave her the opportunity to attend the prince's banquet.

But her father was a scoundrel. How could she be worthy of the Barton family?

Even if she really liked him, she was not worthy of him.

But Jaquan didn't know what she was thinking.

He slowed down and walked silently with her along the river.

The river breeze blew the hair on his forehead, making him look wilder and less fierce as he was in the company during the day.

"Wanda, what I said just now was sincere. If you are single now and have no lover, can you consider me?"

After walking along the river for about a hundred meters, Jaquan suddenly

looked at her with expectation.

Her mind was in a mess.

"Mr. Jaquan, don't make such a joke."

She was silent for a long time, and finally came to herself from the dream.

"If it's because of my resignation, you can give me some time to rest. As you know, I haven't rested since I asked for leave because of my family affairs

three years ago. I'm feeling a little tired, so I sent you a resignation letter tonight. Please don't take it to heart."

"Do you think I'm joking?"

Jaquan stopped in his tracks and looked straight at her with his deep eyes.

The street lights on the riverside were cast down, just enough to embrace her

in his shadow.

Wanda lowered her head and looked at the two overlapped figures on the ground with a smile.

They were really like a couple who were hugging and holding hands on the side of the road an hour ago.

Unfortunately, it was just a dream to her.

She chuckled and said, "Mr. Jaquan, with your status, you can replace any girl you want. Why do you have to tell me this? I don't deserve you. I hope you can take back what you just said."

"I was reckless about the work. If you're used to me as your assistant, I'll consider my decision carefully. After all, it's not easy to replace a job now. I really

can't be too impulsive..."

"Wanda, it's up to me to decide whether you're worthy or not. It's not up to

the family background."

Jaquan ignored her nagging and only answered the main point of her words.

She had been with him for seven years. He knew what kind of person she was.

He was also very clear that she was worthy of him.

Most of the marriages in the world did need equal social status, but he

believed that he would rather choose someone who understood him.

She had been with him for seven years, and he only acknowledged her.

If they were familiar enough with each other, they could continue to accompany each other in the future.

In the past seven years, he had never changed his mind.

And he was sure that he wouldn't change in the future.

As for the family background, he was willing to protect her and would not let her feel powerless because of the so-called family background. Wanda fell silent.

After a while, she spoke. Her tone was cold like a gust of cold wind blowing over the riverbank.

"Mr. Jaquan, I'm very grateful for your love, words and respect. But I don't want to be your girlfriend, even if you think I'm worthy of you."

Marriage was not a small matter. Not to mention how much pressure Jaquan had to bear to marry her, even if she really married him, who could guarantee that the trivial things in the future would not smooth out this little bit of love?

If it was just a love relationship, Wanda would be even more unwilling.

She was afraid that she would fall into it and be reluctant to come out.

The delay of a scholar could still be explained, but the delay of a woman could

not!

She didn't want to fall into this dream where she would wake up sooner or

later.

Instead of experiencing the pain of breaking up, it was better for her not to be with him from the beginning.

She didn't want to!

"Why?"

Jaquan stared at her face. This man who was successful in the business world suddenly didn't know what to do.

"Wanda, if you think my confession is too abrupt, you can try to accept me. Don't reject me in such a hurry, okay? At least give me a chance. Even if you don't like me now and don't want to be my girlfriend, you can... try to accept

my pursuit."

Jaquan had no experience in love, so he didn't know how to pursue a girl.

He could only try his best to restrain his fierceness in the company and try to please Wanda.

There was a hint of caution in his tone.

"Wanda, if..."

"Mr. Jaquan, I like someone else."

Just as Jaquan was about to say something, the woman interrupted him coldly.
