Desperate Lovers novel Chapter 160

"Angela."

James pinched her chin harder, but when he saw the redness on her chin, he could not help loosening his hand slightly.

They could felt the breath of each other. They were so close that their lips nearly rubbed together while talking. It seemed so romantic, but there was no affections in their eyes.

Angela looked at him directly. Her lips were white and limbs were soft, but she kept drawing up and said, "I’ve revealed your matters in such way, making you embarrassed. I’m really s..."

Sorry.

"The day before your birthday two years ago, I went to the Smith house and went up to the second floor. I was standing in the room across from Danis’ room."

James directly interrupted her. There were some complex expressions in his eyes. He was breathing quickly and asked, "So, don't you remember anything?"

Some images flashed through Angela's mind, and her pupils shrank somewhat. Her body stiffened slightly, and she felt a little nervous, so she did not notice that his hand clutching her chin was trembling.

That explained why James did not seem to like Jessica that much, but he had repeatedly humiliated and tormented Angela for Jessica. That also explained why James suddenly changed his attitude towards her on her birthday!

She only thought that James liked Jessica, and that she had broken Jessica's leg. So he broke her leg and frantically abused her...Finally, it was because of this matter!

Her heart was nearly torn up by the sudden anger, unwillingness, helplessness and hatred.

She glared at him and snorted, "I thought you are smart, but it turned out..."

BANG!

The door was suddenly kicked open, and Adeline rushed in furiously.

When she saw James and Angela so close, she froze first, and then became furious. She strode forward and raised her hand to slap Angela.

Angela lifted her hand with a poker face to stop Adeline's movements, but James also raised his hand and did what she wanted to do.

"Auntie, as an elder, you shouldn’t do that."

James forced a smile and actually looked at Adeline coldly. "You'd better learn how to respect others from Jessica."

Angela looked down and snorted. She took a few steps back to stay away from James and Adeline.

"James, you're actually protecting this little slut? You..."

Adeline looked at him incredulously and questioned loudly.

James narrowed his eyes slightly and said coldly, "Auntie Adeline, please check your tone."

"You are about to get engaged to Jessica, but Angela is still pestering you. She’s such a slut, isn’t she?!"

Adeline pointed at Angela with undisguised disgust and hatred on her face.

She did not even give James and Angela a chance to speak, and spoke extremely fast to convict Angela, "No wonder you suddenly said to cure Angela’s leg. The bitch has recently hooked up with you so that you want to cure her leg, right?"

"Your father, at such an old age, will marry a young girl whereas you are cursing like a shrew. Your family is a century-old scholar family. It’s really impressive."

Angela snorted, took two steps forward and looked down at her. She added unhurriedly,

"I'll treat my leg if I want to. I make my own decision. I don’t need to take your advice, do I?"

James looked at Angela, and the expressions in his eyes were complicated.

Today her behaviour was somehow like what she used to, but she was not quite the same, and it's all because...

His Adam’s apple moved and he felt heartbroken. His fingers trembled slightly, and he was unable to say whether he hated her more, or liked her... more.

Adeline could not believe that she was actually criticized by Angela, so she reached out and pointed at Angela. Her finger was almost touching Angela’s nose, when she said, "You..."

"To be honest, Mrs. Smith, calm down. It's not good for your health to get angry."

Angela forced a smile but there was just an indifferent expression in her eyes.
