Desperate Lovers novel Chapter 176

James's whole body was tense, looking down at the swirl of her hair. His handsome face was no different from his usual expression, but only he knew how fast his heart was beating at that moment.

Sometimes love was a strange thing. Without realizing that he liked her, the occasional physical contact would bring him inexplicable pleasure.

After realizing his love for her, the smallest response from her could make his heart beat faster ... even though, he knew she was just taking advantage of him.

"The two of us just resolved our misunderstanding today."

Angela looked at Jessica with an intention. "I don’t need to mention what misunderstanding was being solved, do I? You should know better than me."

Jessica's hand gripping the armrest of the wheelchair turned white, and the smile on her face was not as natural as usual. "What’s the misunderstanding? How can I understand what you're saying?"

"It's okay if you can't."

Angela was so disgusted by Jessica that her stomach churned. "All you need to know is that James confessed to me today. He said he wanted to make it up to me and let me stay by his side for the rest of his life."

James? James looked down at her, a string of tenderness hidden in his dark eyes. She hadn't called him like that for a long time.

Jessica's pupils shrank slightly, and she could hardly maintain the smile on her face, but subconsciously she turned to James with disbelief in her eyes.

James was silent and let her look, which was a tacit acknowledgement.

"He confessed to you, and you're with him now?" Without waiting for Jessica to say anything, Danis had already exploded.

After counting all of James's vices, he said with gritted teeth, "He has humiliated you and tortured you like that, but you still want to be with him? Angela, don’t you feel ashamed?"

"Why are you so excited about whether Angela is with me or not?"

James twitched his mouth and took a step forward, blocking in front of Angela, cutting off Danis' view of her. "Or you still love Angela?"

After saying that, he cast a glance at Jessica, who was standing behind Danis.

Hearing that, Danis' face instantly turned from an angry burst of red to a heartfelt pallor. As he subconsciously glanced at Jessica, he stiffly denied, "No ..."

"Then, in the future, I'd like to ask you to stay away from my woman. I don't like to see other men pestering her."

James looked directly at Danis, his dark eyes holding a warning.

The words “my woman” made Angela uncomfortable, but she just frowned and didn't say anything.

Danis had already had a fiancée Cathleen, who was hard to deal with, and Jessica and Adeline were even tougher to get along.

Angela had no interest in him in that way, while now she was even more tired of his pestering and found it disgusting and annoying. If she could use James to get rid of Danis, she would be happy to do so.

Jessica didn't expect the two would suddenly be together, and at that moment, James' “my woman” sounded even more harsh and unusual to her.

Forcing a smile, she bit her lip and said,

"James, did you ... did you forget about our marriage contract?"

Without waiting for James to answer, Angela sneered,

"A marriage contract is nothing, while love is the truth. Jessica, when I was engaged to James, you also intervened into it. Now I just claim what is mine."

Jessica used to disgust her for that.

And now she would treat Jessica in the same way!
