Desperate Lovers novel Chapter 379

The stairwell was really quiet and wide.

However, Angela didn't know Luna's purpose or whether somebody was hiding there beforehand, so she couldn't agree with Luna’s suggestion.

"I drank too much fruit juice just now and wanted to go to the washroom. Let’s talk over there." Angela said.

Luna frowned, "There are many people in the washroom and it's inconvenient to talk there. If you don't want to talk in the stairwell, we can go home and talk.”

"There are not so many people in this restaurant. Well, let's see if there is anyone else in the washroom. If there isn’t anyone there, we can talk. Is that okay?” The more Luna persuaded Angela to go to the stairwell, the more strange Angela felt.

Luna pretended that she naturally glanced at the staircase. Then she hesitated and agreed with Angela.

Angela saw Luna’s little movement, she also glanced at the stairwell without being obvious, but she didn't see anything there.

After the two entered the washroom, Luna checked if there was anyone in the other compartments. Meanwhile, Angela entered one of the compartments. After she locked the door, Angela sent a text message to James.

“Luna kept looking at the stairwell just now. Go and see if there is anything wrong there.”

“Okay.”

Angela deleted the text message after she saw James’ reply. She put away her phone, flushed the toilet and went out of the compartment.

There was no one else in the washroom. When she came out, Luna asked a little urgently, "Angela, today is the sixth day already. Have you considered it?"

"Luna, I thought carefully and decided to stay with James." Angela said.

Hearing this, Luna frowned, "Don't you believe me?"

"...I believe you." Angela clenched her fist and tried to suppress the raging anger rising from her limbs and bones.

It was because she believed in Luna too much that she knew that Luna lied to her and deliberately framed James. That was why she found it difficult to accept the truth!

Luna wondered, "Since you believe me, why don't you separate with James? Are you in love with him that even if he indirectly caused your mother's death, you still want to be with him, am I correct?”

"Don't get me wrong, Luna." Angela smiled bitterly, "James caused my mother’s death. How can I avenge her if I leave? With his strength, we can't find a chance to fight against him!”

Angela suddenly clenched her fist, clenched her teeth and said, "I want to stay with James. When he relaxes his vigilance, I will find the confidential trading secrets of the Harvey group, sell them to his business rivals and avenge my mother!"

Luna suddenly began to frame James. Angela thought the biggest possibility for Luna to do this was because of the entanglement in their businesses.

If what she guessed was true, then her sister-in-law should agree with the proposal!

But Luna didn't even think about it and directly refused her idea, "No! If you do this, Mr. James and his family will not let you go!”

She wanted to frame James up but didn’t want her to fight against him. Angela was really clueless with what Luna was going to do!

Angela thought to herself, ‘Could it be Jessica or Lawson who ordered her sister-in-law to find a way to separate her from James?

Or... Does Luna have something for James?’

"Angela, please, I’m begging you! You don't have to take revenge. Just breakup with James. I'll find a way to send you abroad.” Luna held Angela’s hand and spoke in a softer tone, “Okay?”

The worry on her face did not seem fake. Angela couldn’t differentiate whether Luna was just good in acting or did she have other difficult reasons.

"No, it’s not okay. No matter who indirectly killed mom, I won't forgive that person! Don’t you think so, Luna?” Angela stared at Luna.

Luna's eyes flashed, "We'll talk about it later. We've been here long enough. We'd better hurry back, or Mr. James and your brother may feel suspicious.”

It seemed that Luna was afraid that Angela might ask her more details. After she finished her words, she hurried out.

Angela looked at Luna rushing out of the washroom anxiously, her face was pale.

Looking at Luna’s reaction, it seemed like Luna really was related to her mother’s death… How should she tell her brother about it? What about their two children?

"Angela, what are you doing in there?" Greyson urged outside.

Angela took a deep breath and responded with a complicated mood. She went out of the washroom.

All three were outside of the washroom.

Seeing Angela's expression which did not seem good, James came over. He took her hand and comfortingly stroked the back of her hand.

Greyson couldn't stand it, "Why are you two getting more and more mushy? You both used to be quite normal, but now you can't even be separated for a few minutes!”

Angela just went to the toilet. How many times did James check the time? Was it ten times? It’s probably more than that.

Hearing this, Luna frowned. Her face looked unhappy.

James replied, "We are newly-wed and deeply in love, you won’t understand.”

Angela’s hands were cold and sweaty. There was sweat in her palms. James wiped her palms with his sleeves, put her hands in the middle of his hands and warmed her hands.

"What newlyweds? James, don’t go overboard. It’s true that you helped our family, but Angela hasn’t married you yet!” Angela was Greyson's treasure, he really cared for his sister for many years. Suddenly his treasure was being robbed away, he felt very unpleasant.

James grinned, even his eyes looked like they were smiling, “I just proposed to her a few days ago, she is even wearing my proposal ring now.”

James raised Angela’s hand and showed Greyson the ring, "It's not too much to say that we are newlyweds.”

“Crash!”

Luna's bag fell to the ground. The bag was not zipped. The cosmetics inside along with a pile of miscellaneous things scattered on the ground.

Angela looked at Luna and saw her pale face.

Angela immediately thought, ‘Does Luna really have feelings for James?’

When this thought crossed her mind, her chest felt painful and numb. She couldn't tell how exactly she felt.

But it seemed that this was the only reason that could explain Luna’s abnormal behaviors.

“Dear, what's wrong?" Greyson looked confused.

Luna shook her head. She looked a little tired, "I’m fine. I was just not careful enough and didn’t hold my bag properly.”

Luna squatted down to pick up things on the ground.

"Don't move, don't move, don't move!" Greyson quickly pulled her up and carefully examined her hand, "Did you hurt your hands?"

"No."

"It’s good that you didn’t hurt your hands. Which of these are important? Tell me and I will pick it up. For those broken cosmetics and stuff, let’s leave it. I'll buy them for you when I go back.” Greyson squatted down and pointed to the pile of things, "Which one do you want?"

Angela looked at this scene and felt complicated in her heart.

‘No matter how stingy her brother is, he is still a good husband who loves his wife and children. If he found out that Luna has something to do with their mother's death…’
