Desperate Lovers novel Chapter 123

The waiter immediately said yes, and thoughtfully wiped the table and chairs several times for Cathleen, a ‘mysophobia freak'.

Jessica spun the wheelchair to reach the table of Angela and curved her lips, "James, do you mind putting the tables together so we can eat together?"

James didn't make a sound, just looked at Sean.

"I'm sorry Miss Jessica."

Sean pushed his glasses and laughed.

"I'm the one who's paying the bill today, and I don't like to eat with strangers."

Jessica wasn't annoyed, and said softly.

"It was presumptuous of me. If Mr. Sean doesn't like to eat with strangers, I cannot force so.

But since we ran into each other, would you mind making friends with me, Mr. Sean?"

"Sean Brown."

Sean extended his hand towards Jessica, as if he had a point, "I've heard a lot about Miss Jessica."

Jessica smiled and shook her hand, “Jessica Smith”.

I haven't heard much of Mr. Sean, and I'm sorry we haven't met until now."

Raya stared intently at the two hands clasped together, grunted unpleasantly, and looked down as she whirled through the menu.

During this time, Danis sat on a side seat, his gaze pinned on Angela.

As if she was unaware of it, when the waiters put twelve scallops with garlic and vermicelli on the table, Angela stood up and 'thoughtfully' placed two scallops each in front of James, Sean and Raya.

She took a bite first, then looked at James and said.

"The scallops taste great, especially with the garlic on top. Won't you try them?"

Raya gulped and picked up the scallop and took a bite, nodding her head repeatedly, her eyes shining brightly.

And James looked at the scallops and picked them up as well, taking a bite, his face as normal, "Well, it's okay."

He ate one scallop in a graceful but extremely quick manner, and then picked up another scallop with a natural look and put it into his mouth.

Seeing this, a flash of surprise flashed in Angela's eyes, and she instantly felt the scallop in her mouth was tasteless.

Danis had been watching her, and when he saw her repeatedly paying close attention to James, his thin lips tightened into a line, and the bottom of his amber eyes looked unusually deep from anger.

“She won't become yours no matter how long you look at her."

Cathleen’s face was unusually ugly, "After chasing after a girl for so many years, she still didn't accept you, and you're still delusional enough to think she will suddenly have a crush on you?"

Her voice was not too loud or small, but the neighboring table could definitely hear it.

Angela kept her head down and ate her scallops, just pretending to hear nothing.

James's eyes, on the other hand, sank, moving to glance at Danis without any intention, and slowed down his movement with the scallop in his hand.

Being poked by Cathleen, Danis withdrew his gaze, his face getting ironic.

"Cathleen, have a look at what I ordered, is it okay for you ?"

Jessica turned her head to look at Cathleen and said softly.

"Do you want to add a few more things?"

Cathleen didn't follow the way Jessica gave her, and said with a vague smile, “No, thanks. I am full with anger. What else do I need to eat?"

"Wow, Angela, these honey baked chicken wings are super delicious, try it.”

Raya took a bite of the chicken wings, the bottom of her eyes instantly filled with bright stars, handing one of the chicken wings to Angela like offering a treasure.

Angela took a bite, and felt it sweet, but not greasy, and the chicken meat inside was tender. It was really well grilled, "Mmm, it's quite delicious."

James glanced at her red lips glowing from the oil, and his throat rolled as he also took a honey baked wing.

"How can you have the face to come out to meet people when you get thrown out when seducing a man? Shame on you."

Cathleen was too angry to eat, but Angela ate with gusto next to her.

Moreover, her fiancé's heart was also set on Angela, which made her extremely uncomfortable.

Angela's face instantly sank, and she clenched her fist, putting down the chicken wings and holding back the anger in her heart without making a sound.

"Stop talking and no one will take you as a mute!"

Danis furrowed his brows as he scolded at Cathleen.

Cathleen sneered, and said ironically.

"Are you upset that I talked about your sweetheart?

She would rather like someone who broke her legs and threw her out naked than accept you, so just give up!"

Danis clenched his hands hard, and the menu was balled up.

He kept his head down and didn't make a sound, but his fists were clenched and the veins on his neck were popping up

'Break her legs', 'Throw her out naked', 'Throw her out naked', 'Break her legs'...... These two phrases played over and over in Angela's head, and she pursed her lips tightly, her body trembling slightly.

"Angela, what's wrong with you?" Raya looked confused.

Ignoring Raya, Angela scuffled to her feet, a plate in his hand, her face horribly grim.

How sad can it be to offend Cathleen!

She was not even afraid of death anymore!

"Discussing others in public indicates a bad family education."

Before Angela could snap a plate over Cathleen’s head, James stood up and put his hand on her shoulder, pressing her back into her seat.

Cathleen didn't expect James to stand out, she wrinkled her brow, and her face changed, "Just now, I was in a hurry, I didn't pay attention to what I said. If I offended Mr. James, please forgive me."

"What if I don't want to forgive you?"

James laughed lightly, but there was no even a bit of smile in the bottom of his eyes.

Cathleen was slightly stunned, her face embarrassed and unusual.

Usually, people who knew each other don't embarrass each other in public like this.

Danis frowned and stood up, the mad surge of anger suppressed at the bottom of his eyes, "As a man, Mr. James doesn't need to make things difficult for a woman."

"Sorry, I'm not a male chauvinist like Mr. Danis."

James looked at Danis and Cathleen, the bottom of his eyes sank slightly, "Men and women are the same for me, I treat them equally."

Raya quietly poked Angela and talked to her ear, ''Is Mr. Iceberg fighting for you?

Looking at it that way, it seemed like he was much more handsome and was not as annoying as before."

Angela didn't answer her. She looked up at James, put down her plate, and proceeded to gnaw on the chicken wings in her hand.

Jessica sighed lightly and said to Cathleen.

"Cathleen, James broke Angela’s leg because she broke my leg first."

She glanced sympathetically at Angela, ''Later on, he threw Angela out naked because Greyson drugged him, and then Angela tried to take the opportunity to seduce him, and he had no choice but to do so.

How can he not be angry when you just said that and described James the victim as the abuser?"

Danis sat down again, his complexion changed, as anger, impulse, heartache; guilt took turns to occupy his heart. As all the feelings were crushing him, and tearing his heart to pieces.

Since their two tables were large and they looked either wealthy or powerful, the lobby manager had arranged for several waiters to be at their disposal.

At this moment, when they heard Jessica’s words, they all looked at Angela, their eyes filled with disgusts.
