Desperate Lovers novel Chapter 269

Angela froze for a while and then laughed with sadness and self-mockery, "So, it is all my own sin."

"Do you think this is a sin?" James turned his head to look at her with softness in his eyes, "But I don't think so."

He was tired from all the fights every day. And she, she was a gift from heaven.

Angela looked at him with her mouth open. She really didn't know how to express her feelings.

"Don't think too much, I'm here." James rubbed her head with his free hand, and then looked ahead and concentrated on driving.

Angela followed his gaze to look forward. It was still the familiar city. Everyone was busy and the roads were packed with cars. Quite lively. But something seemed to have changed.

After more than ten minutes, the Bentley stopped at the door of the Dream Club.

Someone recognized that it was James's car, so they looked over.

Angela got out of the car and saw the crowd of people in front of Dream Club. Sarcasm appeared on her face. There were always onlookers no matter in which circle.

"Let's go." James walked up to her and naturally took her hand.

Angela subconsciously tried to shake his hand off, but didn't. She just lowered her head to take a look.

"Mr. Harvey," Gabriela walked over in a fascinate way, "Mrs. Smith insisted on seeing you, and your father also called me, so I really had no choice."

From her words, she seemed to be in a dilemma. But she was smiling without any traces of coming across trouble.

While speaking, Gabriela swept her gaze over Angela and James' slightly red lips, then smiled in a teasing way towards Angle.

Angela just pretended not to understand her meaning. "Gabriela."

"Hi, it's been a while, you're looking better and better, Mr. Harvey truly treats you well." With sly lights in her heart, Gabriela stressed the word "well".

Angela said, "No better than you. Many men treat you well."

Words failed Gabriela, then she laughed lightly and raised her eyebrows at James, "Mr. Harvey, Mrs. Smith will come here soon if you don't go over."

James let go of Angela's hand to entwine his fingers with hers, "Let's go."

Seeing this, Gabriela laughed teasingly and led the way.

Angela felt uncomfortable when being so intimate with others, so she subconsciously wanted to withdraw her hand.

"Danis is here, do you still want to give him a chance?" James leaned over and said to her ears.

With his breath coming so close to her ears, Angela shrank a little and didn't move again.

They walked hand in hand through the crowd to the front of the Dream Club.

Danis was still kneeling there. He was not in good condition because of the cold. With the blood on his fists, he really looked terrible.

When he saw Angela coming, his eyes lit up for a moment, but that light quickly dissipated when he saw her hand holding tightly James's.

"I finally know why you chose James and not me..." Danis laughed bitterly with depression.

He had been used by Jessica. He thought he was right and mocked her several times. How could she still be with him?

Angela looked down at him with her eyes flashed. Then she finally turned her gaze away with a pale face. She also didn't reply to him at all.

"James, why did you come so late?" Adeline hurriedly came over and complained, "You hurriedly ask those onlookers to leave. How could they surround Danis and watch him kneel like this?" Hearing this, the onlookers began to talk about it.

One of them was loud enough for everyone to hear, "No matter in terms of appearance or personality, she is much worse than James's mother. Why does Raylan fall in love with her? Is he blind?"

Angela glanced at the one said and found that he was Marley, half-brother of Sean. The Brown family had some grudges with the Smith family in business, so he was direct like this.

"Who are you talking about?" Adeline pointed at Marley with her face red out of anger.

Marley grunted, "Whoever answers me! So shameless at such an old age."

"Show some respect! Mr. Brown." Danis's face blushed out of anger as he supported himself to stand up.

But he had knelt on the ground for such a long time and his legs went numb. So, when he stood up, he stumbled a little and fell to the side.

Angela took a few steps toward James and watched James fall to the ground with cold eyes.

"Are you still human?" Adeline hurried over and helped Danis up. At the same time, she pointed at Angela and scolded, "Danis and Jessica used to be so nice to you, do you still have any conscience?"

Angela snorted, "You still know the word conscience? Don't misuse this word."

Adeline was angry. He wanted to continue but was stopped by Danis's yell, "Have you had enough? We are sorry to Angela. She didn't do anything wrong!"

"I'm sorry, it was all my fault!" He turned to Angela and knelt on the ground again.

There was a small hush from the crowd and a faint sound of laughter.

Danis had never been so embarrassed in public. He felt his face hot out of shame.

He wanted to get up and leave, but finally didn't, "I owe you. I should kneel in front of the Dream Club. Sorry!" Angela just looked at him coldly.

He was embarrassed now, but she was once so embarrassed like him, or even more embarrassed.

Sympathy?

He deserved sympathy for being cheated by his shrewd sister, but she had no sympathy for him!

"It's rare to have someone like Mr. Smith in the Smith family who bravely admits his mistake. But Mr. Smith, you should get up first." James reached out to help him and sighed softly, "If you kneel down like this again, Adelin will have to call my father. Then I will be scolded again and my mother will fight with my father again."

There was another sigh from the crowd.

Danis didn't know whether to keep on kneeling or not. His expression changed several times and he finally stood up, "Angela, I'm sorry, I will pay you back later!"

"No need." Angela coolly said, "You just stay away from me and disappear wherever I show up."

Danis opened his mouth with bitterness in his eyes.

"I just don't understand! Why are you still so obsessed with her when she treats you like this?" Adeline wished that she could have better children, "Why did I give birth to such losers like you and your sister? Look at you, you are bullied everywhere!"

James said with a forced smile, "Adelin, don't be too heartless."

"How dare you call me heartless?" Adeline said with disbelief, "Jessica gave up her life to marry you, but as soon as Angela was released from prison, you kicked Jessica away, who is the heartless one?"
