Divorced but Delighted novel Chapter 248

Chapter 248 Good Luck

“New York?”

Jaquan had intended to take Wanda away, but he suddenly heard the familiar name and froze in his tracks.

His expression turned sour as he remembered what his aunt had done last time.

She had taken it upon herself to arrange a marriage for Cierra without even meeting her, ready to marry Cierra off to a member of the Trevino family.

And now she was here, visiting and even bringing a New York guest along.

Cherry was still oblivious to Jaquan’s unease, her face beaming with pride.

She stepped closer to Jaquan and said, “Yeah, the guest should be arriving soon. Do you want to come with me to greet them?”

“Sure,” replied Jaquan, his face expressionless. He turned and put some distance between himself and Cherry.

He looked down at Wanda and spoke in a gentler tone, “There might be a lot of guests at home later, so try to stay with my mom and not wander around, okay?”

The inquiring tone and the gentle words made Wanda’s face flush with heat, but she couldn’t argue with him in front of others.

She could only glance at him and nod slightly.

Will usually stayed with Sarah. As long as she was asked to take care of Will, it didn’t matter who else was around her. Moreover, Sarah was extremely kind to her, so she didn’t mind being with her either.

For Jaquan, Wanda’s glare didn’t make him feel angry at all. He also found her especially cute.

Wanda, who rarely smiled, had shown some extra emotion, which surprised him.

Now, a smile formed on his face, dispelling the coldness he had displayed towards Cherry earlier.

However, Cherry saw their little exchange and felt a sharp pain in her heart, as if a small stone had been thrown in her eye and a needle had pierced her chest.

Her face also turned cold as she said to Jaquan, “Jaquan, didn’t we agree to greet my mom and the guest together? If we wait any longer, they might already be inside.”

Jaquan snapped out of his thoughts and looked at her with a poker face as he replied, “If they’re inside, they’re inside. They can also be asked to leave if necessary. Why rush? The Dunphy family doesn’t need one or two more guests, and if you’re not satisfied, you can ask them to leave now. After all, my family didn’t invite them in the first place. It’s better than getting a bad review for being a bad host later on.”

His tone was far from friendly.

Cherry pouted, her face full of dissatisfaction. She lowered her head unhappily as if she was about to stomp her foot.

It was obvious that she was angry and needed him to comfort her.

But he didn’t even look at her and walked past her without a second glance.

It was only after he had walked a few steps away from her that she raised her head. She saw that he was already several steps away and didn’t even bother to give her any

attention.

She quickly lifted her skirt and followed him.

“Jaquan, wait for me!”

The path leading to the Dunphy family’s old house was lined with trees, which made the

walk slow and could take several minutes. Not to mention Belle wanted to introduce the trees’ origins to her esteemed guests while walking.

‘Mr. Trevino, most of these trees were planted by my brother-in-law for my sister. Since my niece went missing, my sister’s health hasn’t been good. In the last few years, her health deteriorated to the point where she could hardly walk, and she almost didn’t

make it!”

Belle explained while Draven followed behind her, appearing like a courteous

nobleman.

Ryan, who was walking beside them, was the one who kept up the conversation, exaggerating both his tone and manner. “Really? How is Mrs. Dunphy now?”

“She’s doing well!” Belle replied.
