Desperate Lovers

Chapter 42 Heartache

Angela looked him straight in the eye and nodded, “Believe it or not, that’s the truth.”

“You’ve been in jail for two years and you’re still as open-mouthed a liar as ever!”

Danis sneered, unable to say whether he was jealous or angry.

Even when she was down and out like this, she still chased after James to death, never looking him in

the eye”

“You can think what you like.”

After a moment, Angela said with downcast eyes.

It was useless for her to say more to those who didn’t believe her.

She turned around and headed towards the restroom.

“Angela!”

Danis yanked her, pinning her against the wall, and said angrily.

“You have hit Jessica’s leg and ended her dancing career, and now you want to seduce her boyfriend?

Where is your conscience?”

They were close, close enough to make out the tiny fuzz on each other’s faces.

He looked down at her, and his heart suddenly ached as his gaze touched the bruises on her face, as if

his heart had been suddenly stabbed by a needle. Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

She had always been big-headed and didn’t care about anything, but she cared about her face as

much as every other girl, and now she had such a visible scar added to her face.

“You’re right. I was seducing Mr. James.”

Propping her hands on the front of his chest, Angela attached herself to his ear and taunted.

“But you’re wrong about one thing. It’s never me whose conscience is eaten by dogs.”

Silky curls of hot air hovered along the cochlea of his ears, penetrating an unspeakable ambiguity, and

Danis was in a trance for a moment and had been pushed away by her.

Angela fiddled with her bangs to cover the scar on her face, and when she turned around, she

inadvertently saw James not far away.

He wasn’t wearing a suit jacket, and his white shirt was buttoned all the way up to the top one, looking

ascetic but also oozing a bit of insensitivity.

Angela did not know how long he had stood there and wondered what he saw and what he heard. She

was inexplicably uneasy and subconsciously wanted to explain, “Ja......”

The next moment, James brushed past her, not even bothering to give her a glance, and went straight

into the men’s restroom off to the side.

It wasn’t that he was angry and ignoring her, but it was that he ignored her as if she was transparent.

Angela’s hand stopped in mid-air for a moment and dropped down to her lap.

Had she just been brain-dead or hysterical? How could she ridiculously think he was jealous and

angry?

The person he loved was Jessica, while she was just a mole who had harmed his beloved and was

disgusted by his revenge.

How could she think of anything else when she was already thankful to please him and escape his

revenge?

“You like James so much?”

Danis looked at her with a complicated expression. His heart seemed to be tipped over like a spice

bottle, with mixed flavors, “Even if he broke your legs and sent you to prison, you still like him and want

to be with him?”

“Who I like seems to have nothing to do with Mr. Danis.

Or have you always liked me and felt jealous?”

Angela asked lightly.

Her words stung Danis, and his face abruptly turned ugly, “Do I need to remind you that I have a

girlfriend? Even if I don’t have one, there’s no way I’d like someone who tried deliberately to murder my

sister.”

“That’s good.”

Angela turned and went into the restroom.

Danis stood still with his complex expression, and finally washed his face and went back.

When Angela went back, Danis and James had long been sitting in their seats, and she swept her eyes

in James’s direction and went back to her original seat.

“Angela, you’ve been there for so long. Did you have a bad stomach?”

Jessica asked with a worried look.

Fearing that her stomach would be uncomfortable, Angela didn’t eat anything else and just picked up a

bowl of miso soup and sipped it in small sips, “No, don’t worry about me.”

“That is good.

You, James, and Danis all went to the restroom, so I thought the food in this restaurant is unclean and

you all have an upset stomach from eating it.”

Jessica said softly and figuratively.

After finishing the meal, Danis went to pay the bill.

James picked up his suit jacket, put it on, and asked Jessica, “What time is the rehab?”

“It starts at three in the afternoon. We are just in time for it now.”

Jessica smiled warmly.

James hummed and went around to the back of Jessica’s wheelchair, not even glancing at Angela as

he pushed the wheelchair to leave.

The suit outlined his lean waist and long, straight legs, and even if it was just a back view, it was still

inviting.

“Mr. James is so good to Miss Jessica!”

Julia sighed, her eyes full of envy, “I wish I had a boyfriend who treated me so well and was still so

good!”

Angela dropped her eyes without making a sound, and her heart seemed to be clogged with a ball of

water-absorbing cotton wool, too heavy to breathe.

Anyone could see that James was good to Jessica, but she was like a fool at first. Her heart was full of

him and she used every means to marry him.

Even now she recognized the truth, her heart had long been out of control.

“James, stop for a moment.”

Jessica had already left and came back again in her wheelchair, and said to Angela.

“I’d like to buy some clothes for you because it’s too shabby for you to wear those work uniform

everyday.”

She sighed, “But James is going to the rehab with me. You know he’s busy with work and his time is

limited. It’s not easy for him to take some time out so I can’t delay him.

I can’t send you clothes this time, sorry about that.”

“Miss Jessica doesn't need to feel so guilty. Mr. James doesn’t have time, but I do.

I can go to rehab with you. When you’re done and he’s gone, you can buy me some clothes, okay?”

Angela said.

If she was separated from James this time, there was no telling when they would meet next time.

She was going to brush up on him as much as she could and asked him to leave her alone as early as

possible.

Of course, she said this with the intention of disgusting Jessica.

“Angela, that’s was not good.”

Julia was embarrassed but felt restrained in front of James and Jessica. She wanted to ask Angela to

hurry up but dared not say it directly and could only make eye contacts with her desperately.

“That’s indeed not good.”

Angela looked at Jessica whose smile froze, and said faintly.

“But it’s even worse to let Miss Jessica down and make her feel guilty.

She has a bad leg, and if she develops any more heart problems from guilt, it will be my fault.”

No wonder Jessica always liked to disgust her, it turned out that it felt so good to disgust the person

you hated and watched her being disgusted to the point of being speechless.

Julia smiled sarcastically, wanting to leave and not being able to walk away. She could only stand in

place with her shopping bags, embarrassed.

Jessica was so angry that even the smile on her face was a few far-fetched.

“You were in prison for two years and you’ve gotten even more brazen!”

Danis returned from the checkout just in time to hear Angela’s words and sneered.

“Danis, don’t say that. It’ll embarrass Angela.”

Jessica accused him disapprovingly, then turned to Angela and said gently.

“I’ll ask James. If he doesn’t object, we will let you follow us, okay?”

“If Mr. James doesn’t agree, Angela and I will go back and never make things difficult for you.”

Julia was afraid that Angela would make things worse, so she mentioned it in advance.
