Desperate Lovers novel Chapter 144

Neither James nor Jessica was in the mood to eat the delicious food on the table.

James bends her lips without the slightest smile. "Then I can only refuse you. Timothy is a member of my Dream Club. I can't just hand over an employee to an elderly man to be his wife."

"Are you threatening me?" Jessica forced a smile, with her whole body tensed up.

James replied indifferently,

"Just telling you the truth."

Jessica stiffened, then smiled and said softly with her fists slightly clenched,

"I asked you for Timothy today because I was entrusted by my elders, and it wasn't necessary. But if you disagree, I might sue Angela to vent my anger."

James's eyes sank and he sat down.

"You are a smart guy, so you should know what to do."

Jessica already looked as normal and said in a slow voice.

“Really?”

James's eyes narrowed slightly.

Jessica laughed,

"At least I think you are a smart guy."

"Then I might disappoint you."

James glanced at her coolly, "Now there are two choices,

One, you take Timothy away, and I will treat Angela's leg.

Second, you sued Angela, and I posted Mr. Lewis’ love affairs online. "

Jessica's body stiffened for a moment, but there was still a light smile on her lips,"If I want to take Timothy away, and don't I agree to treat Angela's leg?"

"There is no such possibility."James said.

Jessica couldn't keep smiling. "Do you really think my grandpa is someone who values fame?"

"Isn't it?"

James smiled and stood up, "That's quite good."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Seeing his resolute back, Jessica's expression changed, and finally she shouted out loudly, "James!"

James didn't even stop for a moment on his feet, nor did he respond.

"What about this, Miss?"

Seeing that James was almost at the door, the maid said anxiously.

"If your grandpa and Timothy's secrets are really revealed, it will not only be bad for the Lewis family, but also ruin the reputation of the Smith family!"

A hint of cunning flashed under Jessica's eyes, and she softly said,

"Take it easy."

Seeing James who was about to open the door, she paused and said, "...After all, Angela used to be my friend. If her legs can be cured, I will be happy."

"You're a smart guy."

Pausing, but without looking back, James returned her evaluation to her.

Jessica's hand placed on the armrest of the wheelchair was slightly hard and smiled,

"Since we have reached an agreement, let's sit down and have a meal together. It would be a waste to order so many dishes and not eat."

"My taste is different from yours, so we can't eat together. Enjoy it slowly."

James didn't even look back at her, just pushed the door open and walked away.

Jessica looked at the empty doorway, her red lips slightly opened, trembling, then she slightly lowered her head. A trace of pain and bitterness crossed the bottom of her eyes.

After James left the Japanese restaurant, he took a taxi to Auntie Susan's Noodle House.

When he entered the noodle house, Auntie Susan was clearing the table with her back to him, "What would you like to eat?

Auntie Susan's words were full of irony, so the conversation progressed very slowly, and in the end James simply got to the point.

"Yes, he's my nephew." Auntie Susan said,

"But he has a stubborn temper and a bad relationship with me. So if he doesn't willing to treat Miss Jessica's leg, it's useless for you to come to me."

James said, "Then if he refuses to treat Angela's leg, will it be useful for me to come to you?"

Hearing this, Auntie Susan stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said,

"No need to trouble you. My nephew just returned from the United States a few days ago, and he has promised me to treat Angela's leg for free. He will definitely heal Angela's leg."

She smiled again, "Angela with a bad temper is very clear about love and hate, so she doesn't like to accept other people's favor.

If you are really sincere, I will trouble you to stay away from Angela! "

"Then thank you, Auntie Susan." James's eyes were slightly sunken, and his slender fingers tapped on the desktop a few times, then he stood up and undid one button on his shirts, only to find that the inexplicable dullness in his heart had not diminished.

Auntie Susan said, "You misunderstood what I meant. I did this for Angela, not for you, so you don't have to thank me."

"I still have some things to deal with, so I will leave first. I will visit you later when I have time."

James's brow furrowed imperceptibly as he prepared to leave.

"Hold on a second!"

Auntie Susan blocked his way with a broom and smiled and said, "No matter what the reason you broke Angela's leg two years ago, at least Angela won't have to go to jail for a lifetime. Thank you."

"But it doesn't mean I like you. Don't talk about Angela, I, an outsider, can't accept what you did to her."

"If you really want to do something good, please let Angela go and stay away from Angela in the future. As her aunt, I would like to thank you on behalf of Angela!"

James glanced at the broom in front of him, moved his gaze to Auntie Susan, and said sarcastically, "How do you judge that it is me and not her who did the wrong thing?"

“What?” Auntie Susan stunned.

James stepped over the broom, strode out of the noodle shop, and said indifferently,

"It's not your turn to be in charge of what happens between me and Angela."
