Desperate Lovers novel Chapter 87

Denise's eyebrows slightly wrinkled and quickly loosened. "Your clothes are dirty, so I won't keep you here. Go back and deal with it.

Mandy, send her off. "

"Miss Jessica, can we go now?" Mandy went around behind the wheelchair and grabbed it.

Jessica had a complicated look at Denise, and said “yes” before she was pushed out.

Suddenly, dark clouds were stacked in the blue sky, a dull and heavy thunder rang from south to north, and raindrops as big as beans fell down with crackling sounds.

Lying on the bed, Angela curled up into a ball, and held herself tightly both hands.

She looked at the gift box beside the pillow, and there was only one thought in her mind, Success!

Even if James slept her with no return, she can leave with some evidences when they had sex to threaten him!

If it failed, James would get angry from embarrassment and retaliated against her. He was always ruthless, and maybe he would kill her then.

Her death was a kind of relief...

Here came a sound of door opening.

At the moment when the door opened, Angela sat up at the moment and looked at the door with vigilance.

When she saw it was Denise, she get relaxed. "Auntie."

"Hm" With her right hand behind her back, Denise came to the bed, and then took out the hidden gift. "It will be very busy to help you plan your birthday party tomorrow. Here is my gift for you.

Wish you 17 every year, always happy, safe and healthy. "

"Thank you, auntie." Said Angela.

There is no fancy package for the gift, but a square transparent box with a small crown of scattered diamonds in a beautiful shape inside.

This crown was the gift that auntie promised her for her 18th birthday, and siad that she could wear the crown when she married James.

But then things happened so suddenly that she didn't even have a chance to receive her birthday present, as she was sent to prison with her leg broken.

"But I can't accept it." Angela put the gift box with both hands in Denise's arms, squinted and said,

"This belongs to the daughter-in-law of the Harvey family, but the marriage between James and me is absolutely impossible."

Before, she hated others saying that it was impossible for her and James to be together. Now, it is she who repeated this sentence over and over again, which was ridiculous.

Denise didn't believe it, “Who said that? If you are the daughter-in-law of the Harvey family, this is for the daughter-in-law. If you are not, this is for you.

Take it, or I will be angry."

Here came a sound of door opening.

At this moment, the door suddenly opened and James came in.

A well-cut suit outlined his broad shoulders, narrow waist and long legs, and his abstinence was tinged with dignity.

The transparent gift box in Angela’s hands trembled rhythmically, and the light reflected from the glass shone on her face, making her look paler.

She licked her dry lips, got out of bed, and handed the gift box to James with both hands. "Auntie said it is for you."

"I'm not going to compete this with you, so take it."

James swept the small crown in the glass box with his darker eyes. He tilted his head slightly and looked on her short hair.

Angela licked her lips, and held the gift box to Denise, "Auntie, James would not take it. Please take it back.

When Miss Jessica was engaged to Mr. James, you can give it to her."

If she accepted this crown in front of James, she was afraid he would think that she still had a pipe dream about marrying him.

"All right." Denise took the gift box and asked James, "James, are the dresses ready?"

James nodded his head and raised three gift bags in his hand. "According to what you said, three sets of limit-edition dresses were made."

"Hm" Denise smiled and took the gift bags and put them in Angela’s hands. "I don't know if you have changed your mind, so I let James order them. You can choose anyone to wear tomorrow, or you can choose them all."

"Thank you, auntie." Angela took the gift bags, and put them directly on the bed without opening them, and then stood beside Denise with her body stretched.

Denise held a transparent glass box in his hand with her lips curved, and pulled James out. "You are a man, and Angela is embarrassed to change clothes in front of you. Let's go out first."

She opened the door and closed it after they went out together.

"Tomorrow night at the hotel, I will hold a birthday party for Angela at the Pearl Hotel. Would you come?"

Denise gave the transparent glass box to the servant beside her and asked him to put things in her room.

James paused and walked down the spiral staircase. "I don't have time."

"I would stay out of the matters among you, Angela and Jessica. But could you attend tomorrow's birthday party? "

Denise rubbed her eyebrows and stood on the steps, looking at his back.

James went down the last step and turned to look at her. "When will it be over?"

“11 P.M." Denise said.

James said “well”, turned around and walked towards the door and said:

"Before the end, I will arrive."

"Wait."

Denise stopped him, went around to stand before him, and looked up slightly at her son, who was half a head taller than her. "Can we sit down and talk?"

"Talk about what?" James turned and walked to the front of the sofa and sat down, his slender legs overlapping.

The fruit on the tea table has changed color after being put there for a long time.

The servant brought some new fruits, and then put a cup of hot tea in front of each of them, before he waited aside.

"You know the tricks that Jessica has played in those days. Why do you treat Angela like that?

I haven't figured it out for two years. "

Denise sipped the tea and asked.

James pulled his lower lip and tapped his slender fingers on the coffee table. "When did you like to intervene in the affairs of young man like Auntie Adeline?"

"If you don't want to say it, I won't force you."

Hearing "Auntie Adeline", Denisewei wrinkled her brows.

She drank several mouths of tea, then added:

"There are many things involved in the marriage between you and Jessica. I can understand you marry her according to the wishes of your father and your grandfather."

James got more depressed, and the frequency of shaking the coffee table was increasing, but his voice was still settled. "Thank you, Mom."

"Don't say thank you yet." Denise smiled lightly and laughed at herself. "I can understand, but it doesn't mean I can accept it."

Her mouth got more curved, and she suddenly dropped the teacup to the ground, but she still maintained a shallow smile on her face. "James, do you know what it feels to be in-laws with a marriage intruder? It's like eating a fly."

"I won't be engaged to her if you don't want to."

James changed the position of his legs, and his body leaned forward slightly to be aggressive, while his elbows were on his knees.

“Your cancellation of engagement will only make your father, your grandfather and people in the company unhappy.

Your grandfather never liked you. If you do this, your uncle's children will meddle with it again, and maybe you won't even get 8% shares in the Harvey Group."

“Let me be frank with you. I won't affect your future because of personal emotions, but I won't stand by watching Jessica and her mother live so smoothly with you and your dad. You must come at 6 p.m. for the birthday party tommorrow."

The servant came over, cleaned up the mess on the ground, and added a new cup of tea in front of her.

"To support Angela?" James picked up the tea, put it to his mouth, but didn't drink it, and put it back on the table. "Do you really care about her or use her?"

Denise gave him a complicated look and got up. "I'll go and see which dress Angela has picked."

When she walked to the spiral staircase, she stopped and looked back at him. "Pearl Hotel, six p.m. tomorrow."

James looked at her back, picked up an apple and threw it into his mouth. Then he wiped his mouth with a paper towel and left.

It was only 24 hours to her birthday party at 6 p.m. September 28th. But for Angela, every minute was extremely painful.

She had endless nightmares all night, one after another.

She woke up three times in cold sweats, but after lying down and falling asleep, she had more nightmares.

When she got up in the morning, her pajamas were soaked with cold sweat, and her body was cold. There was a thick black shadow under her eyes, which made her look extremely tired.
