Chapter 413 Like a beggar
Adeline hurried over as soon as she heard James’ words.
In front of so many people, Mr. Pearson couldn’t run away like that, so he had to tangle with Adeline and Grandpa Smith and Danis, who had arrived at the sound.
Danis actually disliked this kind of behaviour, like beggars on their knees hugging people’s legs and begging for alms, which made him feel completely undignified.
But the Smith family was in such a situation that if they didn’t do something to save themselves, the Smith Group would probably go bankrupt. He couldn’t really sit back and do nothing.
“It’s a bit cold, I’ll have someone change it for you.” James paid no attention to what was going on over there, drew Angela’s warm water bag and sent someone to change it to a hot one.
Angela used to feel devastated that James had guessed her mind and was holding her to ransom. But one look at Mr. Pearson’s situation and she’s no longer in that position.
It wasn’t that she was too weak, it was that he was too strong.
“Wait a little longer, it’ll be over soon.” James was afraid she’d be bored with staying here.
Angela, “I would have liked it to be over later.”
That way the ‘plot’ Ela had set up for her could play out later; after all, she was a little apprehensive about going up against Ela and the mystery man.
She always had the feeling that maybe things would get out of hand then!
“What?” Her voice was too low for James to hear.
Angela shook her head, “It’s fine.”
With a radio, nothing can be said.
James’s eyes paused on her clutch bag containing the radio, his five fingers closing slightly and quickly unfolding again.
Just bear with me a little longer, he’s almost finding out who that person is!
Once this is settled, he will never let her suffer any more!
His eyes were like substance, poking at Angela, and she looked up, asking, “What’s wrong?”
It looks as if something is on its mind.
“Suddenly I miss you.” The corner of James’ mouth ticked up and he suddenly reached up to cup her face and kissed her on the lips.
Angela’s body stiffened, wasn’t she right on his heels? By the time she looked back up, he had let go and a number of people were looking over and talking about something.
“It’s your grandfather’s funeral, so watch it.” Her face was vaguely hot, and she was worried that people would catch on to this and call James ungrateful, or something.
James swept the crowd in disbelief and gave her a light scratch on the nose, “What are you afraid of?”
When this time is taken care of, she doesn’t have to be threatened by anyone or fear anyone anymore.
Angela is not afraid either, but he is worried about the impact on his reputation, but he doesn’t seem to care about that.
The Pearson family, the Delia family and the Brown family were still making peace with the Smith family, and a number of other people were getting involved, making the situation more and more confusing.
“Angela!” Raya da-da-da came running over and tried to hug Angela, but James suddenly got in front of her and she had to brake urgently.
Whew!
That was close, almost hitting the big iceberg!
She patted her chest heartily, turned the corner, came around to Angela and put her arm around her, “Angela, Mr. Lawson is dead, your hard days are over at last! When the funeral is over, why don’t we go and celebrate?” Thousand Tsung Tsung Tsung
Sean’s mouth twitched as he listened, and only when he saw that no one else was around did his high heart drop.
He turned his head just to complain to James about his daughter-in-law being too good at getting into trouble, when he saw the latter staring intently at his daughter-in-law with a not very friendly aura lingering around him.
This, this, this is even jealous of women!
“Ahem!” Sean coughed dryly and picked Raya up by the back of her collar.
“What are you doing? I was talking to Angela, why are you dragging me up?” Raya’s eyes were wide and her cheeks were puffed out like a little puffer fish.This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Sean resisted the urge to poke her in the cheek and glanced at James, who was looking a little more relaxed, and explained in all seriousness, “Angela is pregnant, don’t be so reckless, what if you hurt the baby?”
“Then why don’t I just be gentle?” Raya gave him a blank stare and carefully rewrapped her arms around Angela.
Sean, “……”
“Angela, what do you think of my offer?” Raya’s eyes lit up, “We haven’t seen each other for ages and it’s good to have a great thing going out ……”
As Sean’s heart was about to jump out of his chest, Angela interrupted her just in time, “You are Mr. Duran’s daughter, be careful what you say out there, don’t let anyone catch anything, it won’t be good for Mr. Duran then.”
James’ eyes fell on her with such a strong presence that she just couldn’t ignore it if she wanted to.
She pursed her lips and moved motionlessly to the side, breaking free of Raya’s arm.
James then withdrew his eyes, as if that man had not been him at all.
Raya didn’t even notice Angela’s little gestures, “Don’t worry, I’m not stupid! If there was anyone else here, I wouldn’t have said that!”
She hemmed and hawed a few times, “You haven’t answered me yet, going to celebrate? There’s a new bar that opened recently and it has a really cool resident singer!”
At the sound of the marshal, James gave a small movement of his hand that was hanging on the right side of his body, “She’s not going.”
“I, I didn’t ask you, I asked Angela!” Raya mentally tried to tell herself not to be afraid, but still subconsciously jumped up and hid behind her master and boyfriend when she met the look James was drifting towards her.
OMG, that’s scary!
Sean, “……”
“James, she’s timid, so don’t scare her.”
James glanced lightly at Raya who was hiding behind him, “It’s Grandpa’s funeral, Angela can’t go out with you to celebrate.”
It would not be in Angela’s best interests or the Harvey family’s if someone were to report this.
Sean was worried about Raya’s nonsense and explained to her in a low voice, “Miss. Angela will be a Harvey family member after all, there’s no telling what will be said about her if she goes to the bar with you.”
“I know-” Raya deflated, how boring!
She stepped out from behind Sean and suddenly tapped her head and remembered something, “Big Iceberg, this human experiment thing, my dad said it might have something to do with ……”
“Ahem.” Angela interrupted Raya’s words with a cough as she held her hand to her lips, her face a calm but her heart beating fast.
Does Raya sound like she knows who the mystery man is?
But even if she knew, she could never say it here, she still had the radio in her clothes. If Ela heard, it would be bad if this got Raya involved again!
