Desperate Lovers novel Chapter 320

With a frown, James glanced at the screen of her phone and saw the name of who Angela was chatting.

"Women are likely to have a miscarriage in the first three months of pregnancy. So you'd better keep the phone a little farther from you. I'll hold it for you," said James as he took over the phone from Angela before she could respond.

Licking her dry lips, Angela said, "......but you must tell me if anyone sends me messages."

James nodded.

When Angela came into the living room, she saw that her father Lorenzo was talking with her brother Greyson who was busy recently and Greyson's wife Luna.

Seeing Angela, Greyson immediately stood up and said excitedly, "Angela, I just had a big deal with Linying Group! I'm invited to a party held by the Thompson family the day after tomorrow. Go with me!"

Linying Group was the company of the Thompson family and had a high profile. But its main market was in the USA, Japan and New Zealand and it only had investment in the Harvey Group in the country so far.

It would definitely astonish the business circle in the country that Greyson could have a deal with Linying Group.

Angela was stunned too and said with a surprise, "Congratulations, Greyson!"

"He's just lucky enough!" said Lorenzo before Greyson could speak anything, "He helped an old man on the road who happened to be the one in power in the Thompson family. That's why he had a deal!"

Hearing that, Greyson said with disapproval, "Not everyone is as lucky as me!"

"Luck is a part of strength too. Just like you, Dad. If you were not lucky enough to marry Mom, you won't be the boss of the Chante Group now," said Angela coolly.

With a frown, Lorenzo said in displeasure, "I was working when others were partying! Unlike what you have said, I got all I have by my own effort!"

"Really?", said Angela with a sardonic smile, "Without the company left by Grandpa and Grandma, how could you have achieved your current status in just twenty years as a poor student?"

"You--", said Lorenzo angrily as he hated others said that he got all he had relying on his parents-in-law.

"I'm not deaf, Dad. You don't have to speak so loudly," interrupted Angela.

As his chest heaved violently, Lorenzo wanted to say something but just snorted heavily after peeking at James beside.

"Well, I don't want to argue with you. Your brother Greyson finally did a right thing this time, OK?" said Lorenzo reluctantly.

Angela pulled her lips sarcastically.

After hearing what Lorenzo said, Greyson looked upset.

Coming up to Lorenzo, Greyson said grumpily, "I promise I won't compete with you for the Chante Group as long as you are alive. So you don't need to guard against me."

Hearing that, Lorenzo said with a guilty look, "I'm just afraid that you'll be too proud."

Ignoring Lorenzo, Greyson came up to Angela and touched her belly curiously. "Angela, Luna has told me that you'll have a baby. I'm gonna be an uncle," said Greyson cheerfully.

"Yes," said Angela. When it came to the baby, the eyes of Angela became unconsciously soft.

Looking at the hand over the belly of Angela, James slapped it away unhappily.

"What's wrong with you?" asked Greyson puzzledly and angrily.

"Why are you so angry, Brother?" said James with raised eyebrows.

Disgusted with how James called him, Greyson said with a weird look on his face, "I'm angry because you slapped my hand away for no reason."

"I didn't slap your hand away for no reason. Your two children are like to you in character, aren't they?" asked James.

While confused by the question of James, Greyson replied subconsciously, "Of course."

"Just like me, my child may not quite like you too, Brother," said James.

When Greyson finally figured out what James meant, he said angrily, "I'm his uncle. How could he not like me?"

'How childish these two men are as they are arguing whether a two-month-old embryo like them or not,' thought Angela with a weird look on her face as this was the first time James behaved so childish in front of her.

'Ever since he said that he loves me, he has become more and more different from before.'

With a cough, Luna said, "Let's have dinner. Aunt Elva has cooked a lot of delicious food to celebrate that Grayson had a deal."

They went to the dinning room and Luna asked Cleo to go upstairs to call Elva down.

Hearing that, Cleo, who was playing with her phone, said in displeasure, "How could you order me instead of inviting me to the celebration dinner for my cousin Greyson?"

Slapping the chopsticks down on the bowl, Lorenzo said in displeasure, "You are a maid, Cleo. That's what you should do. And who tells you that Greyson is your cousin?"

Red-eyed, Cleo snorted heavily and went upstairs to call Elva down.

"I didn't want to hire Cleo, but Elva insisted!" said Lorenzo angrily, "Cleo's just a backbite wolf! Angela, talk with Elva and ask her to fire Cleo."

Angela nodded with a rare agreement. Then she looked to James who was next to her and got back her phone from him to send some messages.

Without a while, Cleo sobbed and went downstairs with Elva. Cleo was still complaining loudly, "Aunt Elva, Uncle Lorenzo has gone too far. How could he speak to me like that?"

Standing up, Angela looked at Cleo coolly and said, "Cleo, the necklace on your neck looks quite familiar. Is it mine?"

"Yes. I saw it in your room. I think it's beautiful, so I'm going to wear it for a couple days!" said Cleo carelessly.

"Wear it for a couple of days? Have you ever informed me?" asked Angela.

"Come on, it's just a necklace. Why are you so aggressive?" said Cleo as she blushed with shame and cried to pull the necklace, "You rich people just look down upon me!"

Ignoring what Cleo complained, Angela just said, "Be careful. This necklace is worth 200, 000. You'll have to compensate according to its original price if you break it."

Hearing that, Cleo removed the necklace more carefully. After removing the necklace, Cleo put it down on the table angrily and was going to run out.

"As you are paid for this job, you should do what a maid should do," said Angela, "and if you run out now, you'll be fired immediately."
