Desperate Lovers novel Chapter 53

Adeline stared straight at Angela with undisguised disgust, ''Jessica's misfortune is caused by her. Allowing her to attend this birthday party is already a gift to her, how can you let her stay with you?

Don't you worry about her, this murderer, will poison you in champagne when you are not paying attention? "

Adeline's words were bitter and mean, but the few people present didn't think it was too much.

If it were them, if Angela disabled their daughter, they would also disrespect Angela!

Elva lowered her head, feeling even more embarrassed.

She made a dry cough and tried to defend her daughter, but did not know what to say.

Denise smiled and said carelessly, "I happen to have a cold these two days, but I don't want to drink medicine, because it tastes too awful.

Angela is always considerate, so she probably put some medicine in my drink."

After saying that, she inclined her head to look towards Angela, “You should not drink champagne and medicine together, so you have to keep your eyes open. Or if something happens to me, You may be framed to have an evil intention."

"If you don't like medicine, then make some brown sugar ginger soup. I remember you like drink something sweet."

Angela gave herself an out.

Denise chuckled slightly, and wrinkles appeared at the corner of her eyes, "Thank you for remembering my tastes so clearly."

The two chatted with each other deliberately and cooperatively, making Adeline frustrated.

Elva stood aside, feeling even more guilty and embarrassed. She looked at Angela, "Angela, now apologize to your Aunt. Don't talk to an elder in this way anymore in the future."

"I don't understand what you mean, Madam. Did I just say something wrong?"

Angela asked indifferently.

Elva was so surprised that her eyes widened with tears, because she was completely startled by the “Madam”.

"Nothing wrong. Maybe she is too old to listen clearly."

Denise took Angela's hand and patted comfortingly.

Angela lowered her head and did not make any sound. As if there was a lump of cotton soaked in water in her chest, she felt suffocated and hard to breathe.

This feeling of her mother taking sides with someone else but an unrelated elder taking sides with her was so hard to bear.

Seeing Denise so protective of Angela, Adeline felt embarrassed as well.

With the awkward atmosphere, everyone was slient, which was not incompatible with the noisy crowd on the other side.

“Adeline is upset now, so in order to keep her from sorrowing, I left first.."

Denise finally said.

Hearing this, Adeline's expression changed "I apologize for making it difficult for you.

But Angela nearly killed my daughter, and I really don't want to see her again. Please understand."

Elva had already recovered from the shock she had just felt, looking at Angela with tear.

Angela moved her eyes away and didn't look at her.

"We are friends for so many years, so there's no need to say such insulting things."

Denise sneered and waved at James who was not far away, "James, come here!"

James inclined his head to look over and raised his eyebrows slightly, saying something to the person next to him before walking over, "What's wrong mom?"

"Your Auntie doesn't like Angela, so it's not appropriate for her to stay with me. Take her with you."

Denise said with regrets.

Hearing this, Angela's heart did a flip. When she wanted to reject it, she heard James saying,

"Let's go."

"Goodbye first."

After Angela said goodbye to everyone, she nervously followed behind James.

Looking at the back of the two leaving, Adeline felt depressed, as if there was gas stuck in her throat, indescribably uncomfortable.

"I really don't know what magic you have done to my mother to make her so obsessed with you."

James glanced at her, and then resumed his eyes ahead. someone greeted him during the period, he nodded and greeted them.

Those people were surprised to see Angela following him.

Two years ago, James and Angela were always inseparable, But since she injured Jessica with a car, the two of them had separated, and it was said that their relationship was over now.

Although they are surprised, no one was stupid enough to ask the reason.

Angela didn't know how to reply, and after a long deliberation, he said in a low voice,

"I will leave for now to see some friends."

What friends? Even if they were friends before, they were not friends now.

She was only saying that because she was worried about her following him around may draw his displeasure.

"See some friends, or see Danis?"

James stopped and looked at her with downcast eyes. There was an indifferent expression on his face, with a hint of mockery.

Angela also stopped, opened her mouth, but no sound came out.

She could tell he was upset, but she didn't know the reason. Her explanation might have upset him even more.

James didn't wait for her answer, turnedaround, continuing on his way.

Angela stood still, not knowing whether to follow or leave. She could never figure out his thoughts.

"Follow me, and drink for me."

James didn't stop or turn around, like he had eyes on the back.

Angela had an unobvious response and a bitter look at her stomach, and followed him.

Tonight she maight go to the hospital again. She didn’t not know if it would develop into gastric cancer. If she got a cancer and die naturally, James may not find trouble with her brother them…

There were many people who tried to have a talk with James, and also many people toasted to him, but basically no one would persuade James to drink alcohol.

When no one persuaded James to drink, Angela stood by with her champagne and played dumb, not offering to drink alcohol.

She was not self abusive and would try to take good care of herself if she could.

But there were also a few people who persuaded James to drink. At that time, Angela had to drink the champagne in one breath.

She didn't notice someone had been watching her, but James did.

He looked at Danis in the crowd from time to time. Then he took the champagne and took a sip, not feeling very good.

A day had passed, and Angela did not drink much. However, Angela’s stomach was still burning with a pain at the beginning of the night.

"Mr. James, may I go to the bathroom now?"

Angela was pale, and a cold sweat already formed on her forehead.

James glanced at her, his brow furrowed invisibly for a moment, and he nodded.

After saying thank you, covering her abdomen, Angela walked towards the restroom with a hard gait.

"Excuse me for a moment."

Watching her back, a dark look flashed in James’s eyes. He turned around and talked to a few people beside him, and walked towards the restroom.

When James was about to reach the restroom, Danis hurriedly arrived with a cup of water ahead of Danis.

James paused but still followed towards the restroom, but he did not go inside. He stood outside, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth.

The sound of vomitting was heard from the restroom.

Angela didn’t eat much, so after throwing up a few times, all that was left was the acid in her stomach.

She had a bad stomach, so basically she didn't drink alcohol, and she was not good at drinking either

Angela didn’t drink too much, but she still felt a stomachache, nauseous and terribly uncomfortable.

There were footsteps approaching, but she ignored them, figuring no one would care about her as a murderer.
