Desperate Lovers novel Chapter 121

James hmmed thoughtfully, "He's doing it for his sister."

"What???"

Sean didn't get it for a moment, "What does his doing business have to do with Angela."

James looked up at him, and after a moment, he said slowly.

"You are a famous lawyer?

Are those people blind or just out of their minds?"

"James, you should be happy to have a friend like me in your life. I'm the only one who can stand your temper!"

Sean pushed his glasses a little and leered at him, "Greyson learns to do business to get Angela out from your control, right?"

James turned his head to look out the window, Angela was standing at the railing with her back to him, her figure was thin, her back was forlorn, and she could not be associated with the arrogant young lady two years ago.

His heart throbbed uncontrollably, as if insects were gnawing at it.

"Heartbroken, huh?"

Sean followed his line of sight, "It would be great that Greyson drugged you, then Angela seduced you, and you just slept with her and then be together with her."

James withdrew his gaze, his fingertips twisting the quilt slightly, "They installed cameras and tried to record video to blackmail me."

“Ah?”

Sean’s lips were half open in surprise. This siblings' tactics were so mean, but he had to admit that it was simple and effective, and risky.

James lowered his eyes as the dim sunlight spilled over him, enveloping most of his face in darkness, “I am not heartbroken. She asked for all of this."

"I really don't see the point!"

Sean scratched his hair without any care, "What the hell happened between you and Angela two years ago?"

For a lawyer with severe OCD, knowing only the outcome of a case without knowing the truth was too much of a torment.

BANG!

Raya banged on the door and couldn't bear to complain to Sean, "Master, even women are not as nagging as you are, are you going to eat?

If you don't leave, I'll go with Angela, I'm so hungry!!!"

After saying that, she bravely glared at James a few times, but the latter acted like he didn't see it, so she got greatly frustrated.

"Let's go." Sean immediately threw the so-called 'truth of the case' into the nooks and crannies, grabbed his briefcase and headed out.

James called out to him from behind, "I'm not driving. Could you wait for me to get change and take me home?"

Raya lowered her head and rolled her eyes in disgust.

"Would you stay in the hospital for two more days?" Sean asked.

"No." said James.

"That's fine, you change your clothes first."

Sean glanced at the thermos, "You didn't drink the chicken soup. Did you eat dinner?

We are going to have dinner, so why don't you come along and have some before we go home?"

Raya wanted to refuse when she heard he was going to invite James to join him for dinner, but before she could refuse, he had already finished the sentence.

She was dumbfounded, eating with the big iceberg was purely to make her lose weight!

"Eh. James is injured, so spicy crawfish or spicy tofu or hot pot will not be good for him!"

Raya siggled twice, "It's better for him to go home, as porridge is best for patients!"

As if not hearing the resistance in her words, James took out his clothes and got out of bed, heading towards the bathroom, "You guys don't need to mind me, just order whatever you want, and order a soup or congee for me."

When he finished, he had gone into the bathroom, with the door closed behind him.

Raya stamped her feet in anxiety and thought bitterly, "Master!!!! Why did you let him go with us?"

"I'm just being polite, James has never liked to eat out."

Sean also didn't expect James to agree, and was a little surprised for a moment, but quickly thought of something.

He pinched his apprentice's puffy cheeks, which felt good in his hand and uplifted his mood, “Do you want to help Miss Angela?

This dinner is a good opportunity."

Raya hung her head and sniffed, and asked breathlessly, "What does eating have to do with helping Angela?"

"Confucius said, heaven's secrets must not be divulged."

Sean raised his eyebrows and flicked her on her forehead.

When James got changed, the four of them left the hospital together and got into Sean's Mercedes.

Sean sat in the driver's seat; Raya avoided James like he was a snake, and grabbed the passenger seat like a tiger pouncing, so Angela could only sit in the back row with James.

The seat was spacious, and there was some distance between she and James, but she still felt uncomfortable all over.

She moved in her seat, and then again, her whole body pressed against the car window, every inch of her skin taut.

Raya, who was constantly aware of the movement in the back row, saw the situation and asked curiously, "Angela, do you have hemorrhoids?"

At the words, an awkward silence fell over the car as their eyes fell on her.

Angela primed up her lips, as James's gaze made her feel uncomfortable. She frowned, "No."

Seeing this, Raya said in a tone of a person who had experienced this.

"Are you embarrassed to say you have hemorrhoids in front of us?"

"It's okay. I won't laugh at you. A girl in my college dorm also had hemorrhoids, and she said they were so uncomfortable that she couldn't stop trying to scratch them with her hands. When no one's around, she just scratches it, and if someone's around, she rubs it on the stool and it's super itchy." Raya twisted her face with an empathizing look.

Hearing this, James stopped his eyes on Angela's hip, wanting to say something but stopped, his eyebrows knitted.

Being stared at by three people on her butt at the same time, Angela moved her arms and legs uncomfortably, "I don't have hemorrhoids."

"Then why were you just rubbing over the seat?"

Raya believed that she had hemorrhoids and said with great bravado.

"This is hospital, don't be embarrassed. The sooner you treat it, the better. Come on, I'll go with you!"

Angela was not good at explaining the reason for moving back and forth in her seat, but there was no way she really had to go to the hospital for hemorrhoids. She clutched the corner of her coat, "It's just a mosquito bite on my butt, no hemorrhoids."

Raya was surprised that there were actually mosquitoes in this weather, and did not say anything more about the hemorrhoids.

Angela let out a sigh of relief and didn't dare to move again, only to press her body against the car window, regretting for the millionth time that she had agreed to go to dinner with Raya.

When they almost reached the destination, several cars in front had a rear-end accident, and Sean braked urgently to avoid crashing into them.

The car braked to a stop all of a sudden. Both Sean and Raya were OK, as they fastened the seat belts, but Angela sat in the back row without fastening her seat belts, and her whole body slammed into the front seat by inertia.

She reacted extremely quickly, subconsciously reaching out with her hands against the seat in front of her so she wouldn't crash into it.

Angela did end up not hitting it, her forehead stopping less than a centimeter from the seat in front of her.

Only because there was a bony male palm between the front seat and her hands, and at that moment, his palm was protecting her forehead.
