Desperate Lovers novel Chapter 210

Angela looked at her faintly, “Really? Congratulations.”

After that, she didn’t give a glance at Timothy who was very proud. She took James’s arm and said, “Let’s go in, James.” When calling James’s name, she glanced in Jessica’s direction.

Jessica had already sat back in the wheelchair. She watched Angela’s blatant provocation, almost unable to maintain the smile on her face.

“Okay,” James responded and suddenly leaned over.

Feeling a warm touch from the lips, Angela who was scared put her hands on his chest and subconsciously wanted to push him away.

“Jessica and Danis are still there.” James hugged her waist and whispered in her ears, rubbing his lips against her ears intentionally or unintentionally while speaking.

The strength of Angela’s hand against his chest was a little weaker. She frowned slightly, finally put her hand back, and continued to stay in his arms obediently.

It was just that the warm touch from the earlobe made her uncomfortable all over. She uneasily turned her head so that her earlobe was farther away from his lips.

James’s voice was very small, and the people next to him didn’t hear what he said at all. They only saw that they were close and there were more smiles on James’s face.

Seeing the two people’s increasingly intimate and natural behavior, Jessica lowered her head slightly. There was a flash of unwillingness and coldness under her eyes.

“There are a lot of guests here today. Uncle and Jessica should better persuade this new member of your family. It’s nothing to offend one or two nobles. But if you offend too many people, I’m afraid that both the Rodriguez family and the Smith family cannot solve it.”

James said this to Edward and Jessica, but his gaze fell on Timothy.

Timothy lowered her head and tugged at the wedding dress that was ripped by the wheelchair. Under his cold gaze, her body couldn’t stop trembling.

“James, thank you for reminding us. Please forgive us for what Miss Timothy said just now.” Jessica tried her best to pull her lips and said with a smile.

“Please rest assured. I don’t like to care about mean people,” James said, “But it’s a wedding today. Isn’t it inappropriate for you to call Miss Timothy like this?”

The smile on Jessica’s face froze.

“Let’s go. Didn’t you say you are tired just now?” James looked down at Angela and squeezed her earlobe. He seemed not to see her frown and went in while putting his arm around her waist.

After he left, Timothy snorted, “Asshole! I almost killed his woman but he still has to witness me marry into a rich family! Humph!”

The guests looked in this direction with sympathy, disdain, dislike, or indifference.

“Miss Timothy, the people who attend the wedding today are either wealthy or respectable. You should pay attention to your words and deeds. Also, it’s not time for the bride to enter the venue. Please go back to where you should go first.” Jessica said softly in a voice as low as possible.

“Urgh!” Timothy glared at Jessica murderously and kicked her leg, “You damned cripple. Mind yourself. After today, I am your grandmother, so you are not qualified to take care of me!”

Listening to this, several guests raised their voices and said,

“It’s wrong for Mrs. Lewis to say that. Miss Jessica does have a disability, but if you say she is a cripple, it will be too hurtful.”

“Miss Jessica didn’t say anything wrong. It is going too far for Mrs. Lewis to poke her wound like this.”

“Children all know that they should be courteous to the disabled. Mrs. Lewis not only said many abusive words but also kicked Miss Jessica’s wounded leg. Isn’t it too cruel?”

These people were all speaking for Jessica, but she felt more depressed because their words all meant that she was a disabled person.

However, she wasn’t supposed to be a disabled person...

As soon as Angela entered the Honour Hall, she attracted a large number of people’s attention. They all looked at her in astonishment.

Except for the newly appointed officials in the past two years, others all basically knew Angela. They also heard of the grievances among her, the Smith family, and James.

So it was inevitable for them to be surprised when they saw Angela coming to Mr. Lewis’s wedding together with James, arm in arm.

Angela was indifferent to the gazes of those people. She just found a corner, let go of James’s arm, and sat down.

Jessica was not here at the moment. Therefore, she didn’t need to play a loving couple with James.

“Are you kicking down the ladder?” James took two glasses of champagne from the waiter’s tray and put one in front of her.

Angela pursed her lips and when she was just about to open her mouth, the phone vibrated.

She took out her mobile phone, glanced at the caller ID, and wanted to hang up. But she hesitated while thinking that Mr. Conrad would arrange for someone to pick her up tonight.

“Why don’t you answer?” James asked, looking at her phone.

Angela didn’t want to answer the call in front of him so she hung up, “Sales call.”

James stared at her for a while, with a wild look on his face.

“What’s up?” Angela was afraid of being caught by him. She took a sip of champagne, only to find that the palms of her hands were sweating.

James tapped his slender fingers on the table a few times and said casually, “Nothing, I just thought you wouldn’t answer.”

There was a flutter in Angela’s heart. She wondered if he was suspicious.

“Is it your brother?” James asked.

Hearing this, Angela calmly breathed a sigh of relief, “...Yes.”

At this time, several people came to talk with James.

James glanced at Angela’s cell phone, smiled at the group of people, and went to talk with them elsewhere.

The place where they talked was not too far, but it was not close enough to hear the conversation. Angela listened carefully for a while, and when she was sure that she couldn’t hear what they were saying, she took out her cell phone and dialed the unfamiliar number.

The line was busy and no one answered.

Angela looked at James, who was surrounded by a crowd not far away, and felt a little nervous when she heard the sound “Sorry, please hold on, the subscriber you dialed is busy now” again from the end of the mobile phone.

Could it be that the call was made by Mr. Conrad? Did he feel angry after getting hung up on?

Angela frowned. Two minutes later, she made the call again. After ringing twice, the phone was connected.

“You...” As soon as she opened her mouth, she was interrupted by a sweet and enthusiastic female voice, “Hello, this is Huitong Community. We have just built a batch of new houses here. The location is convenient for daily life and the environment is elegant and quiet...”

Angela listened patiently and said, “No, thank you.”

Then she hung up the phone.

“Angela!!!” Raya ran over in a short black evening dress, yelled, and hugged Angela from behind, “Wow, you are super beautiful and amazing today! Fascinating! Unique! You are so outstanding!!!”

The front part of her words was normal but the latter part was unexpected.
