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?
