Desperate Lovers novel Chapter 184

"Ah, you are Angela. Hi."

Roland's mother was frozen first, then returned to her normal self, and greeted Angela with a smile, "Angela, you are way more beautiful than Susan said. You are not just a beautiful woman; you are a little fairy from heaven!"

Angela smiled, "If it hadn't been for Dr. Roland, I would have called you sister."

"That mouth, that's sweet!"

Every woman liked others to praise her young face. Eleanor happily touched her face, "I insist on doing beauty treatments, and it works somehow!”

Roland coughed dryly, "Mom, it is just normal mutual praise."

"Do I ask you?"

Eleanor snorted at him. And then she looked at Angela again with a smile, "Sit down quickly, Angela. Your Auntie Susan cooked your favorite dishes today, you must eat more later!"

"I'd be doing my stomach a disservice if I ate less of Auntie Susan's dishes." said Angela.

At this time, Auntie Susan ran out of the kitchen with a spoon, "Eleanor, what did you just say?

I didn't hear a word in the kitchen!"

"Nothing, nothing."

Eleanor waved her hand and quickly changed the subject, "Did you bring the fruit, Angela?

You are too polite!”

Angela said, "I just happened to see some fruit on the way and thought they look great."

The meal was ready. And Auntie Susan called for someone to bring out the food.

Angela got up to serve the food. But she was stopped by Eleanor, "You are a guest, just sit here and eat. A girl's hands are not for work, but for beauty!"

"Just wait here, Miss Angela." Roland laughed.

"If you insist on serving food, my mother and Auntie will have to take turns blaming me when you're gone!"

Eleanor was unhappy with his protest, "Don't listen to his nonsense, Angela. I'm not that kind of violent person."

It didn't take long before the table was filled with dishes. As Auntie Susan said, all the dishes were Angela’s favorites.

Angela looked at the table of home-cooked food, and her hand hanging on the right side of her body clenched a corner of her coat.

The only one who could remember what she ate like Aunt Susan was her brother.

"Roland, hurry up and get some shrimp for Angela!"

Under the table, Auntie Susan turned toward Roland's direction and kicked him.

Roland responded and picked up some shrimps for Angela.

"And get more fish for Angela; she likes the fish I made the most!"

Auntie Susan felt that he was not proactive enough, so she kicked him again.

After a few times, Angela didn't hold back and rubbed her right leg that was a little sore from the kick, "Auntie Susan, I just had acupuncture on my right leg today."

Auntie Susan, "..."

Her foot was aiming at the wrong person!

Then she said hurriedly, "Right leg? Roland, hurry up and check it!""

"Let me have a look."

Hearing Angela said that her right leg was kicked, Roland became serious and pulled back his chair. His fingers just touched the edge of Angela's skirt and she dodged it.

Angela looked at Roland who was squatting at her feet, “... It should be fine.

"You're not a doctor, how do you know it's fine?"

Auntie Susan had always been simple and rude. She stepped forward and lifted her skirt up to her knees, "Roland, check it!"

"Where was the kick?"

“The calf." Angela said. "It doesn't really hurt."

Auntie Susan glanced at her, "I know how it hurts."

"It makes sense for you to kick someone hard?"

Roland asked rhetorically as he pressed down on Angela's calf.

Auntie Susan stopped talking.

Roland pressed several positions in a row and asked if it hurt, and Angela said no. Then he breathed a sigh of relief, "The most serious injury is the knee and the part of the knee on the upper side, it's just a kick to the calf, so it is nothing serious."

He stood up.

"Really?" Auntie Susan asked.

Roland gave her an oblique glance, “Well, it is hard to say."

Auntie Susan's heart rose to her throat.

"There might be a bruise or two, you kicked too hard."

Roland said.

Auntie Susan was completely relieved and hit on his head, “Brat, are you fooling me?"

They returned to their seats, and Auntie Susan didn't dare to kick anyone anymore. But she just kept reminding Roland to serve food for Angela.

Roland was shouted at by his elder aunt and then ordered by his mother. So after eating for more than half an hour, what he put into his mouth was just one or two bites of food.

"Thank you Auntie Eleanor, thank you Auntie Susan."

Seeing that he hadn't eaten anything halfway through the day, Angela said,

"Actually, I don't need Dr. Roland to pick up food for me all the time. I’ve got enough in my bowl.”

Auntie Susan was very good at this and got up at once, "I'll get you another bowl!"

"Take two, Susan, I don't think one is enough."

Eleanor added as she swallowed what was in her mouth.

“No, thanks, Auntie Susan. I'm almost full!"

Angela stood up, ran over, and stopped Auntie Susan. If she didn't stop, Auntie Susan would bring two bowls, the biggest ones.

It was an hour later when the meal was over.

At Eleanor’s constant hinting, Auntie Susan smilingly asked, "Angela, did Roland treat you well during this period of time?"

"Yep." Angela said.

"Dr. Roland is a very responsible doctor." Eleanor smiled and leaned forward a bit, "So what do you think of him?"

"Dr. Roland is quite good. He is good-looking with good temper and sophisticated skills." said Angela.

Eleanor ruffled her hair around her ears and said with a smile, "Angela, let me tell you something about our family first."

"I'm the dean of the city's first hospital, and Roland's father is a researcher, mainly specialized in missiles. We only have one child, Roland ..."

Hearing this, Angela had to interrupt her, "Auntie, I have been in jail for two years because of attempted murder. I have been working in the Dream Club some time ago. There are some bad rumors, and you must have heard it too. "

Entanglement and hesitation were flashing in Eleanor's eyes. She turned her head and glanced at Auntie Susan beside her. And she saw that Auntie Susan's eyes were full of expectation.

Only then did she turn back towards Angela and smiled.

"Susan already told me that you were framed for being in jail before, and you were forced to work at the Dream Club."

"Our family doesn't care about false names in that regard. And if you and Roland love each other, I'd be quite happy to have you as my daughter-in-law."

Both Eleanor and father were dinks and felt that having children would lower their living standards and affect their jobs.

However, the two did not take proper preventive measures, and Eleanor became pregnant by accident.

During that time, Eleanor was busy to get the position of the vice director of the hospital, and Roland's father's research had reached a critical stage. So they were considering an aborption. But Auntie Susan knew about it and scolded them, saying that they should have the baby and she would raise it up.

Later, after Roland was born, Auntie Susan took Roland and raised him, and she always told him that she was his mother.

It was only in recent years that they told Roland the truth.

Eleanor felt that she was not a good mother. So the decision of Roland's marriage and other important matters should be made by Auntie Susan, and she would never interfere.
