Desperate Lovers novel Chapter 297

"I'm already up. It's okay to go down to have breakfast." Angela asked, "Where are my sister-in-law and the children?"

Greyson spoke to her, but looked at James, "They are not up yet and will have breakfast later."

After saying that, he looked at James' hand around Angela's waist and frowned, biting back the words he would like to have said.

"You go to eat first. I'll go upstairs and change clothes." Greyson spoke to Angela, then snorted heavily at James and walked upstairs.

When they entered the dining room, Lorenzo and Elva had already arrived. Lorenzo put on a long face while Elva had red, puffy eyes and a miserable look.

"I am just going to go up to get you guys for breakfast, and you come down!" As soon as he saw them, Lorenzo immediately put on a smile.

He stood up and pulled out a chair for James.

James didn't sit down, but let Angela sit down.

Lorenzo's smile froze for a moment. But soon, he pulled out a chair again, "I don't know what you like to eat. So, I prepared a lot. If there's nothing you like, I'll have someone buy some."

"Thank you." James answered indifferently and sat down on a chair, offering Angela some dishes she favored.

Greyson changed his clothes and entered the dining room, pulled out the chair next to Angela and sat down.

Seeing that James offered Angela a lot of dishes, he also took every dish she favored for her on the table.

Angela knew he was still angry, and didn't say anything.

"Greyson, don't be so ridiculous!" Lorenzo reprimanded him, then looked at James, and said gently, "James, it was Elva's fault last night. But she was just worried about you and Angela. She bore no ill will. Please forgive her."

Elva wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, "I was inconsiderate last night. But it has nothing to do with Angela. James, you can blame me. Please don't... embarrass Angela."

James ate unhurriedly, occasionally offered Angela some food, and did not respond.

"What are you saying!" Lorenzo said, "You did that for their own good. James is so good to Angela. How can he blame you and Angela? Right, James?"

James swallowed and wiped the corners of his mouth, which wasn't stained, with a tissue, "I've just recently found that I hate those who act recklessly under the pretext of being good for me."

Lorenzo laughed in embarrassment, "This is indeed Elva's fault. But she is your elder after all. Why don't you forgive her this time?"

"Elva gave me an aphrodisiac this time. What about next time?" James said lightly, "It's really a horrible thing."

He did not relent. Lorenzo's expression changed and his face was ugly.

Angela put down her chopsticks, clutched the corner of her coat, and turned to say, "My mom..."

'doesn't dare to do so.'

"Eat more and make you healthy." James interrupted her by serving her a bowl of chicken soup.

Greyson snapped and heaved his chopsticks onto the table and stood up.

"Sit down." Angela tugged at his coat and whispered.

Greyson clenched his fists. His eyes were bloodshot and looked like he was wearing red contacts, "But..."

"Sit down!" Angela tugged at the corner of his coat harder. She looked a little displeased.

Greyson twisted his head and glared at James, and sat down reluctantly. He picked up the chopsticks and deliberately make a loud noise while eating.

Lorenzo looked at the actions between the siblings. After making sure that they would not interfere with the matter, he forced a smile and said, "James, then what do you want to do?"

"Can you do what I say?" James leaned on the back of his chair.

Lorenzo coughed dryly and still felt distressed while thinking of the large land in City G, "As long as the conditions are not too excessive, it can be settled through discussion."

"With your words, it will be much better." James straightened up and smiled slightly.

Seeing this, Lorenzo was alert and his eyelids fluttered, "James, it seems that you have already thought about how to do..."

At the end of the sentence, he could barely maintain the smile on his face.

"Please don't be so nervous. In fact, my request is not very excessive." James said.

Lorenzo smiled, "I am not nervous. After you marry Angela, we are a family. I believe you won't do harm to me."

"Thank you for your trust." James said, "Which position are you going to let Angela take?"

Hearing this, Lorenzo almost knew what his conditions were. He said vaguely, "It's better to start from the grassroots position. Otherwise, if I let her parachute into any position, the employees will say she is relying on her family. It will have a bad impact on her and will cause too much pressure on her."

"You don't have to worry about this. Only when there is pressure, can there be motivation." Seeing that Angela had something on the corner of her mouth, James pulled out a tissue and handed it over.

Angela froze slightly before taking the tissue. Then, she looked at her cell phone and wiped off the corner of her mouth.

"Let's talk while eating." Lorenzo picked up his chopsticks and pointed to the dish, "It's good to have pressure. But if there's too much, she may collapse under the pressure. It is not good to be over-anxious. I'm doing this for Angela's own good."

James also picked up his chopsticks, "Look, I just said I don't like those who act recklessly under the pretext of being good for me. Then you do this now."

"Maybe parents like to say it and get used to it." Lorenzo picked up his bowl and ate the porridge. No one was able to see his expression.

James chewed a few times and swallowed before saying, "Your concern is misplaced. Everyone was discontented when you parachuted in as president of the Chante Group. But you finally succeeded, didn't you?"
