Chapter 396 How Could She Not Want to?

Jaquan did not ignore her movements and quietly loosened his grip.

Looking at the stubbornness in her eyes, he felt even more helpless.

After a long time, he had to soften his expression and tone and speak to her in a low voice.

“Wanda, I’ve never thought of you like that. Perhaps my words and actions just now were slightly
disrespectful to you, but that was something that exceeded my expectations, and it’s unavoidable that I
couldn’t control it. I hope you can calm down and properly talk to me about the matters between us.
Even if you’re unwilling to marry me, as Will’s mother, shouldn’t you consider it for him?”

As Will’s mother.

Wanda also wanted to think about it as a mother. Every time she saw the little fellow sitting alone in the
president’s office, looking well-behaved and sensible, she felt very worried.

How could she not want to?

Not everything could go according to one’s wishes.

She understood, so she could only suppress her emotions.

No one knew how many days she had been missing him. She thought about how he was doing in the
Barton family, whether he would be bullied in school, and whether other students would look down on
him because his mother was not by his side… All these things made her toss and turn for more than
one night and unable to sleep well.

She had also seen Jaquan bring him to the company during the day. She would take this opportunity to
visit him in the office.



She cared about him so much, but she still pretended not to know anything and took the opportunity to
take a look at him while working.

If he was fine, she could rest assured.

She even had a daydream that she was a down-and-out daughter of a wealthy family and her mother
had been abducted by a scumbag and now she came back to find her and take her home.

In this way, she would have a reasonable identity to talk to the Barton family about marriage, so that
she would not be timid because of her social rank and stay away from her children for a long time.

When Jaquan confessed his love to her, she had been tempted.

The conversation in the coffee room was one of the reasons why she didn’t agree, and the other
reason was her family background.

Perhaps in terms of love, no matter what kind of family background they came from, it was just a matter
of what kind of person they were.

However, marriage was different. She had to integrate into a certain family, so it was inevitable that she
would have different living habits. There were many things that she had to pay attention to.

Even if the Barton family was very kind to her and told her that she didn’t need to care about these
false things, who could guarantee that the outsiders wouldn’t judge her and the Barton family?

She hated trouble, so she didn’t want to face it.

She couldn’t guarantee that she would be able to stay true to herself after marrying into the Barton
family, nor could she guarantee that she wouldn’t lose herself in the vanity of marriage. She was even
more afraid that she would become the person that she looked down on the most and curry favor with
others for money and lower her morale.”



So it was better to refuse from the beginning.

She lowered her head and said in a depressed tone, “Mr. Barton, it’s not that I don’t care, She paused
for a moment and forced a smile but I…”

“From the moment I placed Will at the door of your house, I was no longer qualified to be a mother.
You’re right, I gave up on him. I don’t deserve him. I think with the conditions of the Barton family, it’s
enough to make up for his lost maternal love. As for me… you can pretend that nothing happened
today.”

She felt the grip on her wrist loosen and tried to pull her hand away, intending to leave.

However, right after she said those words, that enormous power swept forth again.

“Wanda, when did I say that you are not worthy?”

Jaquan frowned and stared at her with his starry eyes.

He admitted that he had been a little rude to her just now, but he had never said anything harsh to her.

How could she convict him like this?

She smiled bitterly and said, “Mr. Barton, did you forget? When Cici went to the company for the first
time, you said that in the coffee. I didn’t eavesdrop. I happened to pass by the coffee that day. Maybe
God wanted me to hear what you said, so…”

She raised her eyes, and her gaze became firm again as she solemnly called out his name.

“Jaquan, let go of me.”

When their eves met, there was a long silence.



One stood still and looked up at the man in front of her stubbornly.

One of them held the other’s hand and didn’t move for a long time. He lowered his eyes and had mixed
feelings.

After a long while, it was finally Jaquan who was defeated first.

He took back his hand that had been holding onto hers and tried to speak as gently as possible.
“Wanda, there was a reason for what I said in the coffee. At that time, Cici encouraged me to confess
my love to you, and I accepted her suggestion. But at the same time, I also thought that if I married
you, what if Will’s biological mother came back and made you unhappy? That’s why I said that to Cici…

“After all, at that time, I was just a stranger who didn’t even know the appearance of Will’s biological
mother. How could I have a good impression of her and hurt you because of her?”

His explanation was like a bolt from the blue.

She opened her mouth and didn’t know what to say for a moment.

So… was that how it was?

She had only overheard a portion of the conversation by accident. Because of that, a misunderstanding
had arisen in her heart, and she had mistaken her for the mother who had abandoned her child.

But she didn’t expect that it was because of her at first.

Because he was familiar with her, he decided to give up on Will’s mother, whom he had never met.

Wanda looked at Jaquan with mixed feelings in her eyes.



Jaquan’s expression was still the same, and his tone softened because of her gradually slowing down.
“Wanda, if you give up on me because of what I said at that time, won’t you be too cruel to me?”

She opened her mouth slightly. “I…”

Before she could say anything, Jaquan interrupted her. “Wanda, you don’t have to say anything. At the
end of the day, it’s my problem. It’s me who made you feel insecure, so you refused again and again.
Can you listen to me again and give me another chance? Or, give Will another chance.”

“I’ve never thought of giving up on Will. It’s because…”

At the mention of Will, Wanda defended herself without hesitation. Probably realizing that her words
were too harsh, she quickly restrained herself and a trace of annoyance flashed across her face.

Jaquan looked at her with gentle eyes and did not pursue the matter.

He raised his hand as if he wanted to rub her head because of her expression. But he silently withdrew
his hand as if he was afraid of offending her.

“Wanda, no matter why you sent Will back, I believe there must be a reason. In addition, you have also
seen Will’s life. Our family can indeed provide a comprehensive guarantee in materials. I will take him
with me when I am free. But most of the time, he is alone or with my mother. No matter how hard we
try, we can’t do as well as you do. Are you really… not willing to give me a chance? Are you not willing
to let Will call you mother?
