Desperate Lovers

Chapter 52 Stay with James

But Cathleen was determined to block his way because she believed that Danis could not have a

dispute with her in the public. "I admit that our families just want to make connection through our

marriage, and we are not in love with each other."

She looked at his sullen face and was very angry, "but don't forget that today's guests are very

important. If you entangle Angela in public, it is the shame to our families!"

Danis's handsome face was expressionless, and his eyes flashed with pain when he saw Angela

gradually leaving.

He glanced at Cathleen, and left with ignorance.

“Wait.”

Cathleen trotted to stop him.

Danis looked down at her, and shouted in a lower voice,

"What else do you want to do?"

"My birthday is about one month away. Both my parents and your parents intend to announce our

engagement at my birthday party."

Cathleen said with an unhappy expression.

Danis was already lost his patience, "So what?"

"So in public, please don't do anything that is not inappropriate as my fiancé, otherwise our families will

be laughed at!"

His impatience made Cathleen even angrier.

Danis frowned and stared at her, "You don't have to remind me what I should do, just mind your own

business!"

“Act on your words. Don’t lose my face as before."

Seeing that more and more people noticed them, Cathleen had to take his arm awkwardly, "Let's go,

my parents are going to introduce you to some people."

Danis saw Cathleen's hand holding his arm and was about to move it away.

"Do you want everyone to know that you and I had a quarrel because of Angela?!"

Cathleen's expression was terrible and she said in an angry tone.

Danis glanced at her, and after removing her hand, he strode towards the crowd.

Cathleen stomped her feet, her eyes reddened with anger. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

James saw everything on the second floor, and smiled sarcastically.

James felt a little depressed, so he unbuttoned the two buttons on his shirt irritably with his slender

fingers.

"James, I think you saw it too."

Jessica came over in wheelchair and said gently.

James took two steps back, keeping half a meter distance from her, "Saw what?"

"Since you've seen it all, why are you asking me?"

Jessica sighed and said in a helpless tone, "It's just like what you see, even if Angela crashed my leg,

even if my brother already has a girlfriend, Danis still can't let her go."

"Your brother is such a passionate good man."

James looked down at the crowd on the first floor, and said in an unclear way.

"I'll take it as a compliment from you, but it really doesn't count as a good thing for me."

Jessica felt a headache and massaged her own eyebrow, "My brother is going to engage with

Cathleen, but if something wrong happens due to Angela, our families definitely will be humiliated."

As James put his hands on the railings, his good-quality shirt tightened had outlined his strong pectoral

muscles. "Should I give you some walnuts to improve your intelligence?"

“What?”

The topic changed too suddenly, and Jessica froze slightly.

James pouted his lips, "Every word you said has a double meaning, so your brain should be tired."

"Don't be kidding. I just want to find someone to confide in my troubles."

Jessica had a bitter look on her face, "Angela is eager to reach the previous standard of living again, so

I am worried that she will mention marriage to my brother, and my stupid brother will gladly agree."

“Do members in your family have a special hobby and are prone to make a fool of yourselves?"

Upon hearing the term "marriage",

James's brow furrowed slightly, but he quickly recovered his normal self.

Jessica let out a bitter laugh, “I am just being honest.

Like me, for example, if I wasn't stupid, how would I have made friends with deliberate and malicious

person like Angela back then?"

"How could Miss Jessica, who is considered kind-hearted, secretly slander others?"

There was a faint mockery in James’s clear eyes.

Jessica looked up at him, eyes full of love, "Yeah, I'm not a perfect person, and I also have some

negative emotion. Isn't it normal to make complaints to someone close?"

James glancing at her, having a meaningful laugh, and walked towards the stairway.

"James, are you speaking up for Angela today?"

Jessica followed him in a wheelchair, asked in a low voice.

James stopped and turned to look at her, "What if yes, and what if not?"

His eyes darkened a bit and he bent down to look her straightly, "Are you trying to control me?"

"You have overstated your point. It was just a casual question."

His rhetorical question was more like an affirmative answer, which made Jessica a bit bitter.

“Better not"

James straightened up and said lightly.

"I'll send someone to help you downstairs. If it's inconvenient for you, don't wander around. It will be

bad if you fall and hurt your leg again."

"Thank you for your concern."

Jessica smiled, but there was only bitterness in her eyes.

When Angela passed absent-mindedly, Denise was chatting with several ladies and wellbred girls.

When they saw her coming, they stopped talking and looked at each other.

Janet and Nova, two of Angela's "old friends"

were also there, with a sarcastic expression and a vague sense of jealousy and resentment.

"This is Angela, and you all know each other, so I won't introduce again."

Denise pretended not to notice the changes of those people, and pulled Angela in front of her with

smile.

Seeing her attitude, everyone instantly became enthusiastic. It seemed that the embarrassment at the

moment had never happened--

"I haven't seen you for two years, and you are still as pretty as ever."

"You look slimmer. Do you have any good ways to lose weight?

Could you please share it with us?"

Even Nova and Janet were expressed their kindness to Angela in due time.

Angela sneered in silent. She had obvious scars on her face and body, so it was hard for them to lie

brazenly.

But she couldn't disappoint her aunt's kindness, so she greeted these people as usual.

"Sister Denise."

Elva and Adeline came together, and froze when they saw Angela was standing next to Denise.

The smile on Adeline's face instantly disappeared. It turned into a terrible expression.

Seeing the reactions of these two, Angela felt uncomfortable.

Her parents broke off their relationship with her, but kept in touch with the Smith family. Did they believe

those bullshit words of Jessica, or selectively ignore the facts for the benefit of the Chante family?

"Elva, Adeline, welcome."

Denise greeted them with a happy smile.

Elva nodded nonchalantly. She glanced at Angela for a while and then looked away. Adeline even

frowned directly and asked,

"What are you doing here, Angela?"

"I haven't seen Angela for two years, so I want her to stay with me for a while. Is there any problem?"

Denise said calmly.
