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 G o d’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.
