Desperate Lovers novel Chapter 140

Hearing this, the faces of the people in the hall screwed up again, but the Lewis family had a strict parenting. And they, being the younger generation, could not say anything about the old man at this moment.

Danis was so angry that his handsome face was green, "That Timothy workds in Dream Club, and now everyone knows that she......"

He found it difficult to say, "Being pregnant with your child, do you know what people are saying about the Lewis and Smith families now?"

"She was forced to sell sex because of her family, bow to necessity, no one can blame her."

Charles frowned, "As for what others say, it's out of our hands, and we don't need to bother."

Danis strained his neck, his handsome face was red, the veins on his forehead were popping, and his lips couldn't stop trembling, "I grew up respecting you and following your example everywhere, but I didn't expect you to not feel ashamed after doing such an immoral thing. You still want to use these sophomoric reasons to convince us!"

Charles changed his face and grabbed the teacup on the table and threw it at Danis.

The teacup smashed into Danis's head, warm tea flowing down his cheeks, then the teacup fell to the ground with a clatter and cracked into pieces.

Charles stood up and looked at Danis angrily with an livid face, "Danis, I taught you etiquette and upbringing since you were young, and this is how you talk to your elders?"

"Danis!" Adeline couldn't help herself. She trotted to Danis and looked at the blood seeping out from his head, her heart was aching, "It's all bleeding, does it hurt?"

Danis pursed his lips tightly, gazing on Charles.

"Grandpa, my brother is angry and he's just speaking without going through his mind."

Jessica pushed her wheelchair over and said softly.

"You don't want to bother yourself arguing with the likes of him."

After saying that, she turned to Danis, "Danis, you should quickly apologize to Grandpa, look how angry Grandpa is about you."

"I'm telling the truth."

Danis clenched his fist and fixed his eyes at Charles, "A man in his seventies and a twenty year old woman from the brothel are having an affair, making it known to public that the woman is pregnant and he is still unrepentant, you are not worthy of my respect!"

He said, word by word, under Charles's gloomy gaze.

"You, are, a, rascal!"

Charles was a respected man both at home and outside. Upon hearing Danis describing him like that, his anger rubbed off on him, "Go away, I don't have this treacherous grandson like you!"

"Dad, Danis is just a little kid, why are you being pushy with him?"

Adeline turned to look at Charles and snarled sharply.

She turned around and took Danis's hand to comfort him, but he flung her away with one hand.

Danis snorted coldly, his amber eyes filled with anger, "Okay, I don't want to have a grandfather like you who doesn't know shame either - shame on you!"

He finished wiping a handful of blood from his head and strode off.

The crowd in the hall looked at each other, and finally looked at Charles in unison and advised,

"Dad, you don't have to disown Danis as your grandson for the sake of a woman from a brothel, do you?"

"You're already in your seventies. The girl named Timothy, must hook with you without good intentions, right? As for the baby in her belly, it's not even clear who the father is!"

"My wife is right, Dad. Even if that baby is yours, you will allow that woman to give birth to it?

Your great grandson is even four years old!"

They were talking one by one, and the whole hall was a mess, as noisy as a vegetable market.

Charles's face sank as he sat on the sofa and slapped the table heavily, "Shut up, all of you!"

Everyone immediately shut up, and the hall was instantly silent to hear a pin drop.

"Jessica, what do you think?"

Charles changed his face, poured a cup of tea and took a sip. Then he looked at Jessica.

Everyone's eyes instantly focused on Jessica.

Jessica bit her lip and said slowly.

"I know that you are truly in love with Timothy and not a lecherous man like the outsiders say."

"Jessica!"

Adeline tugged on her sleeve and said with an embarrassing look on her face.

"How do you stand in for that little bi......"

Bitch?

Without waiting for her to finish, Edward yanked her to his side and gestured for her to keep her mouth shut.

Charles's wrinkled face became gentle and resumed the refined look as usual and he said approvingly.

"You know me, go on."

"But Grandpa,"

Jessica deliberately avoided Charles's expectant look, "This matter is ultimately bad to our fame, and it will have a bad impact on both the Lewis and Smith families."

Charles heaved his teacup onto the table, his face sinking.

Jessica just ignored it, her voice still soft, "And I also know something about that Timothy, she has a very bad reputation.

Grandpa, that woman approached you on her own initiative and drugged you with ill intentions.

Why don't we just let her have an abortion and pretend this never happened!"

"Ridiculous!"

Charles slapped the table heavily, his cloudy eyes were filled with disappointment for Jessica, "Timothy never drugged me, and I won't allow you to frame her for my reputation. This is something only a villain would do!"

Hearing this, everyone's face was unhappy.

Jessica furrowed imperceptibly and she wanted to say something else, but was preempted by Charles, "What's wrong with me being in my seventies?

I'm not cheating or breaking the law, so what's the shame of being in a relationship?"

A kind of awkward flashed in Jessica's eyes as she stepped forward, "Grandpa, you......"

"Shut up!"

Charles stood up and interrupted her with an cold face, "Timothy is now in the hands of James, either you get Timothy back by tonight or I'll go myself!"

He grunted heavily, swept the crowd around, and left in a rage.

Jessica looked at his aged figure, and tightened her lips, only feeling as disgusting as if she had eaten a piece of shit.

The hall was a mess, Charles’ love in the twilight yeasrs made everyone's face shameless, but helpless.

Adeline was a hothead, but failed to come up with a solution. Then she asked anxiously,

"Jessica, you can't ask for Timothy from James for your grandfather. What if he dislikes this whole thing with your grandfather and doesn't get engaged to you?"

"I have to." Jessica forced a smile, if Grandpa had gone himself, God knew what the mess would turn out to be!

Adeline's eyes widened unbelievably as she said

"You really want to go?"

"Or is there another way?"

Jessica asked rhetorically, her trailing voice was full of irritation that she couldn't conceal.

James didn't leave the hospital after leaving the ward, but stood at the door of the ward, thinking about the whole thing.

He minced his lips, pulled out a cigarette and held it to his mouth. Before he could light it, a nurse came over, "Sorry sir, you can't smoke here."

"Hmm." James put away the lighter and threw the cigarette into the trash. Then he stood by the window, looking into the distance, his mind in a mess, yet he seemed to think of nothing.

Toot-- The phone vibrated. James picked up the phone, "Speak."

"I had already made an appointment with Dr. Roland for a checkup, but......" The man said cautiously, "But when he heard that it is you who invited him, he said he wouldn't come."
