Desperate Lovers

Chapter 172 Come in, it's cool outside

When he saw it was Angela standing outside, James raised his eyebrows slightly and smoothened his

facial expression, "You're looking for me?"

Angela shuddered and took a deep breath, trying to suppress the emotions churning in her blood, "I

told you I had nothing to do with Danis, then you said you believed me. Besides, you also said you

would not blame me for the accident two years ago, right?"

"Come in, it's cool outside."

James glanced at the thin hospital gown she was wearing and moved aside to make way for her.

Angela did not move and clenched her hands that were hanging down on both sides of her body

tighter, then she asked again, "You said you believed me, didn't you?"

"Yes." Having Angela’s figure reflected in his pupils, James gave out a light “umm”.

Angela took a deep and shivering breath, and glared at him with a deadly stare, "You told me yourself Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

that I don't have to go back to work at Dream Club in the future, didn't you?"

"Right." James said.

His affirmation did not brighten Angela at all; instead, it stimulated her anger instantly, "You told me I

don't have to work at the Dream Club in the future, yet you told my brother that you won't let me go......

James, is it fun to play with me?"

Her anger was burning her whole body in the cool hallway.

James looked down at her, looking deep into the bottom of his eyes, his throat rolling, but he said

nothing.

"Why don't you say something?"

Angela's whole body tightened, anger and hatred almost bursting out of her body, "If you know what

happened between us are misunderstandings, why do you refuse to let me go?"

Luna stood on the side watching the two, her face not good as well.

Under a gust of wind passing by, the hospital gown clung to Angela's body, making her look even

thinner.

Looking at the scar near her eyebrow and her thin body, James felt like his heart just got pinched by

something, "Is staying by my side a torture for you?"

"What do you think?" Angela said with full ridicule and mockery, her voice a bit sharp due to her raising

pitch, "If you were misunderstood, then that person broke your legs, sent you to prison, forced you to

accompany women, threw you out naked in addition to trampling your dignity and making you beg for

your life just to live in the world."

She took a step forward, stared at him, gritting her teeth,

"And at last, you were forced to stay with that person; do you think it would be an enjoyment?"

With every sentence of hers dropping, James's face turned paler and paler. Every word she said

seemed like a sharp knife that was stabbing him in the heart without mercy.

He pursed his lips, feeling like there was a boulder pressing against his chest, "I can't let you go"

“Well.” Angela sneered, anger exploding in her body, "You......"

"You have to stay with me for the rest of your life, Angela."

James stretched out his hand and gently stroked the scar at the end of her eye, feeling like his heart

was stuffed by a water-soaked cotton, dull and depressing, making each breath difficult.

With a few windows left open in the hallway, a cool autumn breeze blew in.

James's words were like a bucket of cold water pouring Angela from head to toe. Her body was cold,

but the anger in her heart was burning.

The coexistence of both coldness and heat made her so uncomfortable that it was almost splitting her

in half.

"James!" Angela slapped his hand away hard and said with red eyes, "The first twenty years of my life

has been ruined by you. Do you have to ruin the rest of my life as well? What have I done to you to

deserve this? Ha?”

A few ward doors opened again near them, stuck their heads out to see what was going on while

complaining.

“It is you again? This is a hospital. Can you guys keep your voices down?"

"Why are young people so selfish in these days?"

"If you guys have something to talk about, then do it after you get out of the hospital, or at least go

inside the ward, okay? You just have no manners at all!"

The old lady who talked to them earlier opened the door and walked out, but after seeing James

standing opposite to her, she frowned and sighed, then returned to the ward again.

It was really their fault, so Luna smiled awkwardly, apologized to their neighbors, then grabbed

Angela's wrist and said,

"Let's talk about it inside." Angela pushed Luna away, and did not move; instead, she plucked at James

with crimson eyes and asked in a low voice,

"Why do you have to do this to me?"

"Because I'm in love with you."

James said it carelessly, but every cell in his body tensed, while his gaze was trying to collect every

small movement of Angela.

Angela's body stiffened, unable to react for a while.

She had fantasized for countless times about James making a confession to her, but never guessed it

would happen in this situation, surprising and funny.

"You're saying you're in love with me now?"

Angela laughed so hard that tears came out of her eyes, “James, you just threw me out naked days

ago, and now you're saying that you're in love with me."

With tears flowing into her mouth, tasting salty and bitter, she continued, "The way you love me is quite

'flattering'!!!"

Luna did not expect to hear this answer and was very surprised, goggling with her mouth wide open.

“Sorry.” James had never said sorry to anyone before, but he had said it for so many times to Angela

today. Every time he said it, that stinging feeling in his heart grew more intense.

With the bottom of his eyes darkening and his Adam’s apple rolling, he said, "It won't happen again in

the future."

The tears on Angela's face stung his eyes. He reached out, trying to wipe them off for her.

But Angela tilted her head and dodged his touch, stepping back with a disgusted look on her face,

"There is no future between us!"

"You want to leave?" James withdrew his hand and narrowed his eyes, said with a chill voice.

Angela stayed expressionless, an affirmative answer to his question.

"You came to me first," James bent down slightly to look at her in the eyes, "It's too late to leave now."

With their breaths intertwining, they were staying close to each other, but there was no romantic

atmosphere between them.

"Do you think I can't leave if you don't let me?"

Though Angela used to be insanely fascinated by his expressionless face, now she really hated his

smug look.

Did he really think he can manipulate her life at will just because he was the President of the Harvey

Group?

The disgust in Angela's eyes made James's heart sting. He clenched his fist, straightened up his body,

and said faintly,

"Do you think the Chante family can be safe after you leave?"

“Are you threatening me?"

Angela was breathing much faster than usual, fires nearly exploding underneath her eyes.

Spotting her hatred, James relaxed his fists hanging at the sides of his body as he unconsciously

tapped his legs, "I can give you everything you want if you stay with me."

"I want to leave you. Can you give me that?"

Anger, hatred, resentment, and helplessness were all trying to take up her body at the same time, and

they almost tore her apart.
