Desperate Lovers novel Chapter 316

All she had said was made up, but with that, James's eyes got duller.

At first, that idea had literally existed in his mind, but he learned later his grandpa would never like him as much as he liked Ralphie.

With no reply for a time, Lawson turned his back to Angela and reprimanded, "I asked you if you are pregnant, why are you rambling nonsensically?"

"I am. I ... I dare not to lie to you again," Angela answered. "If you doubt it, you can order someone to buy a pregnancy test kit, then let Dalilah see ... see me testing."

Dalilah had been his intimate maid since a few decades ago. Even if he didn't believe in his children, there's no way he would distrust Dalilah.

As those words reached her ears, Dalilah said: "I presume it doesn't look like the child was telling a lie. My lord, it doesn't take long to have a text. I suggest you may allow her to do it, lest you will regret it someday."

"Regret? How can it be possible for me?" In contrary to his words, Lawson consented.

Dalilah took the chance to offer to bind up Angela's wound, which gained Lawson's nod as well.

Before the servants could take action, James trotted to his room, took out a first aid box, and bound up Angela's wound briskly.

Alcohol got to the wound, causing a muscle contraction on Angela's arm, and on the end of her nose, drops of cold sweat were oozing.

"Does it hurt?" James looked up and asked.

Angela replied shaking her head, "It doesn't matter."

"Keeping a medicine chest and binding up the wound skillfully, have you ever intended to be a doctor?" Lawson remarked with a good deal of sarcasm.

James didn't turn his head: "Having gotten beaten almost every day, yet without nobody to ask for treatment, I had to learn myself."

Her voice was loud like he was talking about something insignificant.

But the people listening got touched. Angela opened her mouth but said nothing.

Lawson paused as his expression changed swiftly. He then snorted, "Blame it on your biological grandma!"

It's really agile of the servants in the Harvey's family, and not before long, they came back with pregnancy test kits and other equipment needed.

Dalilah led Angela to the restroom. After a few rounds of tests, there's no doubt that Angela was pregnant.

Before Lawson could flare up, Angela kneeled on the ground and cried in fear: "Last time I ... I lied to you only for my safety, and now I am absolutely ... absolutely honest to you. Please forgive ... me, I swear I will take good care of the baby ...."

Lawson sat on the sofa, looking down at her irresolutely. He didn't make a clear response of forgiving her or not, neither did he allow her to stand up.

"It's cold on the ground. Stand up." James made a grab at her arm.

Angela shook her head, got rid of his hand, and said: "Grandpa hasn't forgiven me, so I dare not stand up."

The blood on her face had been cleared while James was treating her wound, but after shedding streams of tears and snot, her face became a smeared mess.

"My lord, could you please allow her to stand up? She is pregnant. It's not good for the baby if she keeps kneeling on the ground." Dalilah interceded.

Lawson didn't reply, his deep wrinkles full of anger and doubt. He said to Angela, "There's no way an airbrain like you could figure out a plot to deceive me, let alone such a rigorous one."

Angela felt dry in her throat. Though it's quite cool outside, her body kept oozing sweat from top to toe.

"Stand up." James didn't give her the opportunity to say no with a direct pull before throwing her to the sofa.

Angela watched Lawson with an unsettled look.

"Just sit as demanded. Stop watching me that way!" Lawson looked down to the ground before he raised his head with a jerk and his sight impaling Angela.

Angela turned like a scorpion under an ultraviolet lamp, her whole body turning stiff instantly.

"Did Jessica teach you all of these? Was it also from her that you used the brat of the Pearson family to lie, as well as pricking Nathen's temple with your ear stud?"

Saying the last sentence, Lawson raised his voice suddenly.

Angela, for the moment, had her heart in her mouth, with it racing and likely to jump out of her chest.

She knew it would arouse Lawson's suspicion if she blamed all these on Jessica, but she would rather take a gamble!

"Angela had been in the prison for two years, getting bullied by those people, so what's so surprising when she doped out the idea to prick Nathen with an ear stud?" James replied casually before Angela could speak.

Dalilah chimed in, "My lord, could it be that you are too suspicious this time? Frankly, Angela had been fighting with others since she was a child, so it's understandable for her to react that way as she was in trouble."

"That was ... was true." Angela echoed with a fazed look. "Besides, in my childhood, whenever I did something wrong, out of the fear of being scolded by my parents, I ...."

She appeared to be embarrassed, and then went on, "I got used to lying. Then Felix happened to falsely claim that he took me for a pregnancy test because he was afraid you would get angry for his kidnapping me. And I ... I echoed him accordingly."
