Desperate Lovers novel Chapter 95

“I don’t like men, thanks.”

James said yes and pushed away Sean who was about to come up to his face.

Sean simply took off his gold-rimmed glasses which he had pushed askew, and said curiously,

“Ms. Adeline, the siblings, and Mr. Edward all came over to see you. Were they all here to urge your marriage?”

James frowned and didn’t hide his discontent for the four members of the Smith family in front of Sean, “Or what?”

“I thought they might have said something else besides that.” Sean said.

“Like distancing yourself from Angela or the attitude you and your mother have towards Angela...”

James had lived for twenty-four years, and although he wasn’t treated well by his grandpa, he had never been so stifled.

He was being set up, but he couldn’t fix the other side for a while and had to do something against his will under the other side’s blackmail.

He picked up a glass of red wine. The cold liquid slid down his throat, which slightly suppressed the anger in his heart, “They said it too.”

“They not only force a marriage but also want to control everything. The Smith family is getting more and more arrogant with you!”

Sean pinched a snack and lamented. James grunted, not commenting.

“James.” Sean tossed the remaining small half of the snack into his mouth, hesitated slightly, and asked,

“You marry Jessica, then your mother...” He paused for a moment before continuing, “feel comfortable?”

There were some twists and turns among Jason, Adeline, and Denise, something that was known to almost everyone in the circle except for some of the younger generations.

Jason was a well-deserved playboy. He changed women frequently like changing clothes, but Adeline was an exception for him.

The two grew up as childhood sweethearts, and Jason had the intention to marry Adeline back then, but Adeline resented his ambiguity with too many women and married Edward, who was pursuing her fiercely at the time.

If things ended here, forget it. Who hadn’t pursued a lover when he was young?

But Jason was angry and married Denise, who was a good match for the family, according to his father’s intention.

Meanwhile, Adeline had been arrogant and indulgent since her childhood.

After she married into the Smith family, even though Edward had done his best to treat her well, as soon as a word wasn’t right for her heart, she turned her head and went to Jason to complain.

Even on the night Jason and Denise got married, Jason was called over by a word from Adeline and didn’t come back the whole night.

There have been lots of similar or more outrageous things going on between them ever since then.

Because of this, after Denise got married, she had a lot of trouble with Jason, and several times they almost ended up with a divorce, but both families did not agree.

On the other hand, because of Adeline’s relationship, the Smith family got a lot of benefits from the Harvey Group, so Edward turned a blind eye to it, as long as his son and daughter was his own.

James’s slender fingers tapped on the table, clenching his fist slightly as he inclined his head to look at him and asked rhetorically,

“Uncle Arthur allowed the illegimate son to be the CEO of the family group, while you were forced to go abroad for a time. Are you Ok with that?”

Silence.

After a long time, Sean put on his glasses, gave a light laugh, and said with a slight hang of his head,

“I’m the one who asked an improper question, so forget what I just said.”

“I also said something improper, sorry.”

James rubbed his brow, his eyes deep, “Marrying into the Harvey family, some things are out of my mother’s control, was just like you and I were born in the Brown family and the Harvey family, so somethings are out of our control as well.”
