Relentless Pursuit After Divorce-Chapter 1281. This is not fair

Listening to Jamuna Ford saying these unprecedented words, words she never imagined would come from him, she was stunned for quite a while before she suddenly burst into laughter.

Seeing her laugh, Jamuna felt a bit awkward, his ears flaming hot, but he had no intention of taking back his words.

"Senior sister, James Campbell was luckier than me, he made you fall for him sooner. I could only keep this affection hidden in my heart, not wanting to cause you any trouble."

"But now, you’re divorced, you’re single, I’m single, what’s there to worry about?"

It seemed he was worried that Jenna Clark would quickly reject him, so he hurriedly continued:

"Senior sister, I’m good-looking, smart, academically accomplished, earn a decent income, and have a good temperament. If there’s anything about me you’re not satisfied with, I can change it. Can you give me a chance?"

Jamuna was actually very nervous inside, but it was Jenna who was amused by his words.

She laughed more and more loudly as she did so.

Because this was the first time she had ever seen Jamuna like this.

He didn’t at all resemble a famous professor with a noble reputation in academia but rather like a naive young man confessing to the girl he liked, eager to have all his good qualities known.

Jamuna, increasingly embarrassed by Jenna’s laughter, eventually looked at her with some dissatisfaction like a child, pursed his lips, and called out with a hint of annoyance, "Senior sister."

Seeing that he was annoyed, Jenna quickly suppressed her laughter, feeling a bit guilty, but she really found this side of Professor Ford, away from his stern demeanor in the laboratory, to be much more adorable.

She pursed her lips, still wanting to laugh, but seeing the irritation in Jamuna’s eyes, she forcibly held it back.

After a moment, she recomposed herself, looked at Jamuna seriously, and said:

"No, everything about you is good, you’re handsome, have a nice temperament, smart mind, in short... everything is good..."

She saw a flash of brightness in Jamuna’s eyes, and a sudden unfamiliar twinge of pain sprang up in her heart.

Suppressing that painful feeling, she looked at Jamuna and said:

"It’s precisely because you’re too good that I can’t bring misfortune upon you. If you marry me, people will laugh at you, Professor Ford, for having no taste. They’ll mock you, Professor Ford, believing you could have married a better and more accomplished woman but instead chose an older woman who has been divorced. They will..."

"No!"

Jamuna, feeling distressed to hear her underrate herself, quickly interrupted her.

"There’s no ’better’ or ’more accomplished.’ You are the best and most accomplished in my heart."

He spoke with conviction, "Besides, I’m the one getting married; why should outsiders have the right to mock?"

He feared that Jenna would use these reasons, which he didn’t care about at all, to reject him.

"Senior sister, if these self-deprecating words are just an excuse for not liking me, a pretext for your rejection, then I’ll accept it. But I don’t want you to use the pretext of it being for my own good to belittle yourself and dissuade me from wanting to marry you."

Jenna was struck hard by his words, and she was speechless for a long moment.

"It’s not fair, senior sister. Rejecting me for the sake of outsiders’ opinions is unfair to both of us, to you and me."

Jenna actually still felt like laughing, but at this moment, she didn’t know why, she just couldn’t smile anymore.

She had always believed in her ability, her savvy, that she was beautiful and knowledgeable, that she was no less than anyone else.
