Desperate Lovers novel Chapter 186

Roland nodded and was silent. But Eleanor asked,

"Medical books are usually boring, do you like to read them?"

"Just so-so."

James wiped the sweat off his nose, walked up to Angela, and stretched out his hand to her, "It's getting late, and shall we go back now?"

Angela glanced at his hand, but quickly looked away, then stood up.

She was about to answer when the door of Auntie Susan's room opened.

"It's only nine o'clock. You can stay for a while."

Auntie Susan walked out with a smile on her chubby face, "Mr James is Angela's boyfriend, but you can't restrict her freedom, right?"

James said, "If it's in a bar or KTV, it's not too late. But this is Dr. Roland's home. Dr. Roland and Director Eleanor will have to go to work at 9 o'clock tomorrow. It is not appropriate for us to disturb them for too long. "

"You may not know our schedule."

The situation was very tense, and Auntie Susan said, "We usually go to bed after 0 o'clock. Angela doesn't bother us at all here."

Roland' mother agreed, "James, you are a rare visitor, so why don't we stay a little longer."

"Do you want to stay longer or go home now?" James didn't answer directly this time, but turned his head toward Angela.

Angela glanced at Auntie Susan, who was angry like firecrackers, about to explode at any time, "...Let's stay for a while."

"Thank you for your hospitality, Auntie Susan, Director Eleanor and Dr. Roland."

With the pain in his abdomen, James frowned almost invisibly, and then sat on the sofa calmly.

"You're welcome" Eleanor said with a smile, then fiddled with her hair and said to Roland,

"Roland, prepare some tea."

Roland didn't do it and just sat down, "I had two operations today, so I was too tired to move."

Unlike what he said, he didn't seem to be too tired to move at all, but even looking very comfortable.

"Without bringing any gifts, how can you drink tea at ease?" Auntie Susan, sitting on the sofa opposite Angela and James, said loudly, "There is water in the kitchen. If you want to drink it, you can get it by yourself."

Maybe it was because of her anger; she was not at all polite to James.

Eleanor smiled awkwardly, "Roland and auntie Susan are tired. They were not polite just now. They usually talk like this, don't mind."

"It's only right that I should come to the door uninvited." James said.

Auntie Susan got angry as soon as she saw him. She got a piece of dragon fruit with a clean toothpick and handed it to Angela, "Here you are."

Then she stood up and went to the study to make tea.

There were four cups of tea in total, so everyone except James had one, which clearly humiliated him.

"I don't know how to taste tea. So to me, drinking Da Hong Pao tea is a waste of delicacies."

Eleanor moved her cup of tea to James, "A good tea must be tasted by someone who knows it."

James didn't answer, and said lightly,

"Thank you for your kindness, but I can't sleep after drinking tea at night."

"It just so happened that I felt that the food I ate at night was a bit salty. Why not give it to me?"

Auntie Susan took the tea and drank it all, then put the teacup firmly on the table.

Eleanor had the intention to ease the atmosphere, but Roland and Angela did not cooperate with her, and Auntie Susan even directly and deliberately opposed it. After a while, the atmosphere was worse than before.

"Mr James said Angela is your girlfriend, but why do I remember everyone saying that you are going to be engaged to Jessica?"

Auntie Susan asked sharply, "Do you want to have a causal relationship with Angela, then break up with her for a while and then marry Miss Jessica? Or do you want to cancel your engagement with Miss Jessica to marry Angela?"

Before James could answer, she asked again, "Even if your mother likes Angela so much, she didn't mention you marrying Angela. How could your dad and grandpa agree?"

The marriage of a wealthy family had always been not a matter of two young people, but the result of a game of rights between the parties, which was mixed with too many benefits and secrets.

She understood very well.

Even if the proud James was the president of the Harvey Group, he was actually a puppet of his grandpa. The actual person in charge of the Harvey Group and the Harvey family was still his grandpa!

James was not liked by the old man. If he refused the marriage that had been arranged earlier, and insisted on marrying a ‘murderer’ who had been driven out by the Chante family, it was impossible for him to continue to be the nominal leader of the Harvey Group.

At that time, let alone that Jason couldn't agree, even his mother, the elder who cherished Angela, would not ruin the future of his son for an unrelated junior!

James frowned almost invisibly, without responding immediately.

Of course he could say something to make Auntie Susan happy, but for Angela, he didn't want to promise something that hadn't been resolved yet. This was unfair for her.

"What do you mean by being silent?

Do you still want to marry Jessica and let Angela be your lover? "

Auntie Susan, who patted the table hard, stood up with a gloomy face.

Roland glanced at Angela who was silent. No wonder she didn't say that she was Mr James' girlfriend, but a lover.

"Sister-in-law, let's stop getting involved in Mr James and Angela's personal business, okay?"

Because of Auntie Susan, Eleanor's impression of James was not very good.

But because the Harvey Group had donated a lot of high-end medical equipment to the first people’s hospital, and also established a public welfare organization to help some of the poor, she couldn't offend them.

"Personal business?" Auntie Susan increased the volume at once, "Angela's parents no longer disciplined her. Only me."

Angela licked her dry lips, and said "I ..."

"Thank you so much for caring about Angela. She is honored to have an elder like you. But I love my woman more than anyone else. "

"It was my fault to make her sad before. I can't guarantee that Angela will become the happiest woman in the world, but I can promise to protect her as much as I can."

James stood up and looked at Auntie Susan, who was furious.

Clenching her fist tightly, Angela just thought his words sounded particularly ridiculous.

"Protect her as much as I can"? All her pains were given by him, and everything was due to a misunderstanding!

What if he misunderstands her again in the future?

Was it possible for him to just pretend that today's words never happened and he continued to torment and humiliated her for granted?

"I'm disturbing you today. Please excuse me, we will leave now."

Angela tried to put on a natural look, but the madly churning hatred in her heart still made her look extra gloomy.

Worrying that she might lose her temper, she finished and quickly headed out the door.
