Divorced but Delighted Chapter 247

Chapter 247 The Esteemed Guest

Although they weren’t standing particularly close, Jaquan lowered his head as if he were pulling Wanda into his arms.

Feeling oppressed, Wanda dared not look up at him.

“Mr. Dunphy, as you said, you are handsome and come from a good family. There are countless good women in this world who are more suitable for you. We are not at match,” she said stubbornly, taking a step back.

Marriage had always been about matching social status, and they simply didn’t fit the

bill.

But Jaquan didn’t feel upset by her words.

He lowered his gaze and looked at her seriously.

“Wanda, you can’t tell if we are a match or not until you live with me. And if you don’t believe me, you can try. I will protect you, and so will my family.”

The Dunphy family had started from scratch with his father’s generation, and strictly speaking, his father Charle wasn’t even good enough for Sarah.

The Chester family had dominated Los Angeles with their restaurant business, and their Sapidity franchise had a long history in the city.

When Charle married Sarah, he faced a lot of ridicule and criticism, Many people thought Sarah couldn’t handle the hardships and that marrying Charlie was a mistake. They even assumed that she would go back to her family soon after.

But all these years later, Sapidity was struggling while the Dunphy family was thriving. The Chester family even had to come and talk to the Dunphy family about a potential

partnership.

The neighboring L’Opera Restaurant in New York had become a shining star in New York, while Sapidity was laying off employees and closing stores, revealing the gap

between them.

While some big families did follow the traditional rule of marrying within their own social circles, Jaquan was certain that the Dunphy family did not.

After all, his own family had climbed their way up from controversy and criticism. How could he make others experience the same bitterness as his father had experienced?

When he then thought of his parents, who were still as loving as ever, Jaquan’s eyes

softened even more.

“Wanda, can you give me a chance?”

His extreme tenderness was more difficult to resist than the pressure he had put on her, especially since he was standing in front of her.
