Denise's eyebrows slightly wrinkled and quickly loosened. "Your clothes are dirty, so I won't keep you here. Go back and deal with it.
Mandy, send her off. "
"Miss Jessica, can we go now?" Mandy went around behind the wheelchair and grabbed it.
Jessica had a complicated look at Denise, and said “yes” before she was pushed out.
Suddenly, dark clouds were stacked in the blue sky, a dull and heavy thunder rang from south to north, and raindrops as big as beans fell down with crackling sounds.
Lying on the bed, Angela curled up into a ball, and held herself tightly both hands.
She looked at the gift box beside the pillow, and there was only one thought in her mind, Success!
Even if James slept her with no return, she can leave with some evidences when they had sex to threaten him!
If it failed, James would get angry from embarrassment and retaliated against her. He was always ruthless, and maybe he would kill her then.
Her death was a kind of relief...
Here came a sound of door opening.
At the moment when the door opened, Angela sat up at the moment and looked at the door with vigilance.
When she saw it was Denise, she get relaxed. "Auntie."
"Hm" With her right hand behind her back, Denise came to the bed, and then took out the hidden gift. "It will be very busy to help you plan your birthday party tomorrow. Here is my gift for you.
Wish you 17 every year, always happy, safe and healthy. "
"Thank you, auntie." Said Angela.
There is no fancy package for the gift, but a square transparent box with a small crown of scattered diamonds in a beautiful shape inside.
This crown was the gift that auntie promised her for her 18th birthday, and siad that she could wear the crown when she married James.
But then things happened so suddenly that she didn't even have a chance to receive her birthday present, as she was sent to prison with her leg broken.
"But I can't accept it." Angela put the gift box with both hands in Denise's arms, squinted and said,
"This belongs to the daughter-in-law of the Harvey family, but the marriage between James and me is absolutely impossible."
Before, she hated others saying that it was impossible for her and James to be together. Now, it is she who repeated this sentence over and over again, which was ridiculous.
Denise didn't believe it, “Who said that? If you are the daughter-in-law of the Harvey family, this is for the daughter-in-law. If you are not, this is for you.
Take it, or I will be angry."
Here came a sound of door opening.
At this moment, the door suddenly opened and James came in.
A well-cut suit outlined his broad shoulders, narrow waist and long legs, and his abstinence was tinged with dignity.
The transparent gift box in Angela’s hands trembled rhythmically, and the light reflected from the glass shone on her face, making her look paler.
She licked her dry lips, got out of bed, and handed the gift box to James with both hands. "Auntie said it is for you."
"I'm not going to compete this with you, so take it."
James swept the small crown in the glass box with his darker eyes. He tilted his head slightly and looked on her short hair.
Angela licked her lips, and held the gift box to Denise, "Auntie, James would not take it. Please take it back.
When Miss Jessica was engaged to Mr. James, you can give it to her."
If she accepted this crown in front of James, she was afraid he would think that she still had a pipe dream about marrying him.
"All right." Denise took the gift box and asked James, "James, are the dresses ready?"
James nodded his head and raised three gift bags in his hand. "According to what you said, three sets of limit-edition dresses were made."
"Hm" Denise smiled and took the gift bags and put them in Angela’s hands. "I don't know if you have changed your mind, so I let James order them. You can choose anyone to wear tomorrow, or you can choose them all."
"Thank you, auntie." Angela took the gift bags, and put them directly on the bed without opening them, and then stood beside Denise with her body stretched.
Denise held a transparent glass box in his hand with her lips curved, and pulled James out. "You are a man, and Angela is embarrassed to change clothes in front of you. Let's go out first."
