Desperate Lovers novel Chapter 149

"Are you out of your mind?" Luna frowned and said, "Angela..."

Angela continued, "Please don't say anything, I'll take the blame for the mistakes I 'made'.

I want a moment for myself. Please go back, Luna."

Angela interrupted her in a hoarse voice.

Luna wanted to say something, but she hesitated for a moment and cut it short,

"OK."

She paused for a moment and added, "You can have half an hour, if you're not back by then, I'll come and find you."

"Yes."

Angela answered and tried to force a smile, but then she failed and said, "Thank you, Luna."

Luna sighed lightly and shoved her phone to Angela, "Don’t forget the time."

Angela nodded and said.

"I'm twenty years old, Luna! Don't take me as a three or four-year-old kid who could be abducted at any moment."

"You're a lot more worrisome than a child,"

Luna said.

Angela pursed her lips and played with the phone in her hand, silent.

"I'll leave you alone."

Luna waved at Angela and left. She turned and looked back several times.

The dark sky had no stars and no moon. Angela could only feel the fresh air after the rain and a few lamps on the grass. This place was frighteningly empty.

But for Angela, it was the only place that would allow her to relax for a moment.

She let out a long breath and stood in a daze for a moment. She had the feeling that someone was watching her.

She glanced back around, only to see a blur figure disappeared at the entrance to the inpatient unit.

Maybe it was weird that a woman stood here in the middle of the night, and passersby cast a glance at her out of curiosity.

Angela smiled to herself, after two years in prison, she was a bit overly sensitive.

"Angela?"

A man called her name, and the voice sounded familiar.

Angela's body stiffened and she frowned in disgust. She didn’t turn around or make any response.

The person who call her names got no response. So he called out again, "Is that Angela?"

Immediately afterwards, Angela heard footsteps approaching.

Angela pursed her lips. She didn’t wanting to see this person, so she lifted her feet to walk towards the opposite direction.

Seeing her leaving, the footsteps behind her sounded a little faster. Then the man surpassed her and stood in front of her.

Under the cold incandescent light, the man's handsome face was so lear, and his amber eyes were tinged with a bit of fatigue and anger at the moment. He asked, "Why didn't you answer me?"

Angela looked at him indifferently. Her heart, which had been softened by the empty silence, had more disgust and hatred at this point. She replied, "Is there any rules saying that I have to answer Mr. Smith every time?"

"Angela, why do you have to talk to me like that?"

Danis grabbed her arm. There were anger and disappointment in his eyes.

Angela, however, only found his look disgusting. She shook off his hand and said coldly,

"I told you a long time ago that I hope you could stay away from me. I don't want to hear your mother and your sister say that I seduce you!"

She finished speaking and was about to leave, but her was suddenly clutched by Danis. Then he pulled her into his arms.

"You know I can't let you go. Why are you doing this to me?"

Danis' voice was full of pain, and he questioned as he held her tightly.

"Why can't you forget James after he broke your leg and sent you to prison?" Dansi asked with a trembling voice.

Angela was a bit weak because she was recovering from a serious illness. She struggled for a while but at last, she failed to break free from his hug. She was so annoyed and yelled,

"Let go of me!"

“Why do you like James so much?"

Danis wouldn’t let her go, instead he hugged her a little tighter and continued, "Angela, do you really love him that much?"

Angela was panting from her struggling. Her once indifferent eyes were filled with hatred at this time. She screamed out, "I said, let go of me!"

Danis wrapped his arms tightly around her and said in a low voice,

"What if I say no..."

“Well.”

Angela interrupted him with a sneer and stepped heavily on his foot. When he was screaming in pain, she pushed him away and slapped heavily on his face.

Bah!

The crisp slap was loud and clear against the silence of the night.

Angela glared at him with cold eyes and squeezed one word out of her teeth. "Disgusting!"

He had humiliated Angela for Jessica once and now he was acting like he loved Angela so much. That made Angela feel more than disgusting. Moreover, the man had been engaged to Cathleen, yet now he was still harassing Angela.

Angela refused him for the first time simply because she had no feelings for him; she still took him as a big brother. Now she refused to be with him only because she found him exceedingly disgusting!

"As long as you don't seduce James again, I can forgive you for hitting Jessica, and I will break off the engagement with Cathleen and marry you."

Danis knew this would be unfair to Jessica, but he really couldn't forget Angela, especially after he knew Angela almost died this time. He no longer wanted to hide his true feelings anymore.

Besides, his grandpa was in his 70s and hooked up with a 20-year-old woman. The family didn’t say much about that. He assumed they could also accept it if he was with Angela.

Angela laughed in exasperation as she looked at the swollen left side of Danis’ face. She sneered,

"Why are you so sure that I'll definitely agree to be with you?"

"You want to go back to your old standard of living, so you stayed and worked at the Dream Club, right?"

There was self-doubt and struggle in Danis’ eyes, but more than that, there was madness and hotness. He added, "If you marry me, I can give you anything you want!"

He took a few steps forward and took her hand. Then he lowered his voice and said, "Give me your word now and I’ll leave Cathleen immediately. That would be much better than staying with James and being humiliated."

Angela looked at her hands grabbed in his, and this time she did not struggle. She glanced behind him and said,

"What brings you here, Jessica? Your brother is talking to me about his wedding."

"Jessica, how do you..."

Danis asked and instantly let go of Angela's hand. Then he turned around to explain to Jessica, only to find that there was no one behind him.

Angela was making fool of him.

He turned and looked at Angela.

"Why do you have to look at me like this, Mr. Smith?"

Angela took a few steps backwards, trying to get away from him. She mocked,

"You said you won't let go of me, and I'm just testing you. Is this your way to keep your promise?"

Danis' expression changed and he clenched his fist. A while later, he said with a bitter and annoying expression.

"I was serious when I told you about being together, and even if Jessica did have come, I would never let you go… and now you're teasing me?"

Angela took out her phone and checked the time. It was sixteen minutes out of the half hour she had. She frowned and found that she hated Danis even more.

She put down her phone and looked straight at him. Her eyebrows showed her disdain. She asked, "Even if you really wants to marry me, then what?"

"What then?" Danis’ asked and frowned.

Angela snorted coldly, "Marrying me? Wouldn’t you feel guilty for Jessica?"

Danis’ eyebrows frowned tighter. He didn’t say a word, which meant a silent YES.

"Then I’ll go through all the troubles to marry someone I don't love, and whenever Jessica and I have any disagreements, you will take your sister's side and accuse me because you’re her brother."

Angela looked at Danis in the eyes and continued, "On top of that, I have to be scolded by your mother and Cathleen for being a slut. Your mother would definitely make me suffer."

At last, she sneered, ''So why would I marry you?

Are you out of your mind?"
