Desperate Lovers novel Chapter 157

Both of them were handsome and charming, and they were entangled with each other at this moment, so the waiters and several customers looked at them.

"Sit down. Sit down first and...well, tell me!"

Sean laughed so hard that his eyes watered. He took off the glasses and wiped the corners of his eyes. He then put the glasses back and pointed to his seat.

James had never been laughed at like this, and he stood still, but finally he frowned and sat down.

Sean then sat down and said with a smile,

“James, you're serious when you asked the question, aren't you?"

"It's a miracle for you to be a top-level lawyer."

James looked at him, ignoring his own red ears due to embarrassment.

Sean clicked his tongue, leaned back in his chair, and said like a big brother.

"You’ve made me unpleasant because of your attitude when you ask for help.

Let me tell you, call me Sir and I'll tell you..."

When he saw James stand up to leave, he also stood up, pulled James back and conceded, "I'll call you brother. OK?"

"Fine."

James resumed his seat, knocked lightly on the table, and said to him,

"Call me Sir."

Sean really did not want to do that, but in order to satisfy his gossiping mind, he reluctantly called James Brother!

James sat with his long legs crossed, and both his hands placed on his knees. He said it in a low voice.

"The voice was too low to hear."

Sean took a deep breath and said, “Brother!"

The sound was so loud that many people looked over toward them.

"You heard me this time, right?" Sean said unhappily in a helpless tone.

James nodded.

"I trapped myself because of my big mouth!"

Sean sighed, and then coughed. He asked with a suppressed excitement in his voice,

"Why are you asking me that question all of a sudden?

Maybe you found yourself falling in love with Angela?"

James felt a little embarrassed and looked away from him, "I'm the one asking."

Sean failed to satisfy his curiosity, so he could only answer James' question, "To put it simple, when you fall in love with someone, you want to make her stay with you and see her every second."

James pursed his lips, picked up his cup and took a sip of his coffee, finding it tasteless.

"You won’t allow anyone to bully her. You will hit anyone who bullies her."

Sean pushed his glasses and said, "If others bully my little girl, I'm sure I'll teach them a lesson."

James looked up at him and took another sip from his cup.

This time, the coffee tasted bitter but fragrant, but he could not determine whether it was bitter or more fragrant.

"It's very tricky."

Sean stopped talking about this and asked him, "Think about it. Can you bear the fact that Angela getting married with another man, like Danis? Can you accept that?"

James frowned, set down his cup and put his hand on the table, knocking it constantly.

"It’s a problem."

Sean looked at James’ hand knocking on the table. He showed pity in his mouth, but there was a gloating expression on his handsome face. "When she liked you so much before, you did not know how to cherish her; now I see...Well, it’s so hard to get Angela back!"

The lingering taste of coffee in his mouth tasted more bitterness. James looked down when his Adam’s apple moved. Then he stood up and said,

"I'll go first."

"James, don't leave now. I still have something to ask you!"

Sean just took a sip of coffee and hurriedly swallowed it, shouting at James' back.

James stopped and looked back at him. He smiled and said, "I’ve never said I’ll answer your question."

"James, damn you!"

Sean took off his gold-rimmed glasses and threw them onto the table with anger.

"You’ll get ugly when you're angry."

James said.

"Bye."

After saying that, James left the cafe straight away, leaving Sean alone and depressed.

It was not quite cool in late October.

The sky was blue and cloudless.

James' license was suspended, so he did not drive.

He ignored the women who were chattering at him or taking pictures as he walked along the road. He even did not know where he would go.

"Brother James?" A Mercedes followed him slowly for a long time, then stopped.

James stopped and looked back.

Danis was driving the car, Cathleen was sitting in the passenger seat, while Jessica was sitting in the back, popping her head out the window to call him.

“It is really you, Brother James."

Jessica smiled and said, "I saw you walking on the road and thought I had mistaken you for someone else."

James laughed lightly, "I hope you're mistaken."

"Brother James, you must be joking."

Jessica was smiling and said with concern,

"How about Angela’s leg? I heard that Dr. Roland was treating her. Will she recover soon?"

After seeing James, Danis looked unhappy and did not talk to him.

But after hearing the question Jessica asked, he changed his posture and looked at James, waiting to hear his reply.

Cathleen noticed his behaviour and became a little angry.

Because James was here, she just grunted loudly, which did not embarrassed Danis too much.

A sneer flashed in James' eyes as he said indifferently,

"You've met Dr. Roland and told him I asked him to cure your leg, why not ask him if he could cure Angela’s leg?"

"Brother James, you’ve misunderstood me."

Jessica sighed and said,

"My mother heard that Dr. Roland was highly skilled before she asked him to treat my leg. My mother was probably afraid that he wouldn't agree, that was why she mentioned your name."

"As for Angela, as you know, my mom did not ask Dr. Roland about Angela's condition because she did not care about Angela as much as I do."

There were some creases on his suit due to walking. James pulled his clothes to make it smooth and said, "Auntie Adeline just mentioned my name, which made Dr. Roland feel like I was threatening him. She’s awesome."

"Not really. I think Dr. Roland misunderstood it."

Jessica insinuated, "Dr. Roland is highly skilled and knowledgeable, but he has some special requirements for his patients.

In other words, he's always been particularly demanding for people with high social status."

What she implied was that Roland hated the rich, and what she told James this time was to slander Jessica’s mother, a rich person.

“Well. Regardless their identity, Dr. Roland treats everyone equally and has a good reputation among his colleagues and patients."

James said.

Having been deliberately misinterpreted by him, Jessica felt a little embarrassed and hard to maintained her smile. Then he added,

"According to Dr. Roland' s reputation, he would not intentionally said anything bad about Auntie Adeline. Maybe she was as aggressive as usual when she visited him, so he misunderstood her."

Jessica laughed and said helplessly.

"My mom is not aggressive. She’s just always talking to others frankly and doesn't really know how to deal with people."
