Let Me Go, Mr. Harvey novel Chapter 274

Angela had planned to say "I see", but when the words rose to her throat, she bit it back, "After I was released from prison, I've been avoiding the Smith family, but whether it is Jessica, Danis or Adeline, they've always come to me, and I can't control that."

Silence.

Silence made the tension-ridden atmosphere even more depressive.

"Do you want me to stand up for you by saying that?" Lawson squinted at Angela and raised his voice.

"You took me wrong." Angela's palms were sweaty. "I was just telling the truth."

Lawson gave a sneer.

"I'm taking precautions by telling you that now." Angela licked her dry lips, her back wet. "In order to stop me being engaged to James, Jessica even framed me up at the risk of her life."

"I wonder what crazy things she will do when Jessica knows that I'm pregnant with the Harvey baby. The reason I told you that is because I want to reduce the likelihood of being on the receiving end of your anger if I have a miscarriage."

Lawson didn't say anything, but stared at her with his piercing eyes.

James frowned inconspicuously and wanted to speak several times, but eventually said nothing after sneaking a look at Lawson's face.

Being sized up by Lawson like this, Angela felt as if she was pinned under a mountain and couldn't even raise her head, while her forehead kept perspiring.

"Don't worry," Lawson broke the silence and said with a sullen face, "They don't dare to do that!"

Finally, the huge rock hanging in Angela's heart fell to the ground all of a sudden. She felt as if she was scooped out of water. "I appreciate it."

Lawson snorted hard and said implicitly, "You'd better give birth to a great-grandson for me when that day comes. Don't tell me you have a miscarriage or a stillborn baby!"

"It was you who had the doctors check my body. If you still don't believe that I'm pregnant, then I have nothing to say." Angela dropped her head, her pupils contracting, and her forehead, which just got dry, started sweating again.

Lawson was very dissatisfied with Angela's attitude. He stared at her with a sullen face for a long time before holding the teapot with boiling hot tea in it.

"If you don't want your great-grandson anymore, just smash it." Watching Lawson, James tapped his fingers on the table twice.

Angela raised her head slightly, and saw Lawson's withered hand holding the handle of the teapot out of the corner of her eye, while the teapot was already one centimeter away from the table. She grasped her clothes and wanted to dodge subconsciously, but her physiological reaction was suppressed by her reason.

Lawson had the typical dominant personality. He was a control freak, and didn't like anyone doing anything out of his control.

"You two should be grateful to this baby!" Lawson smacked the teapot down on to the table and stared coldly at the two on the sofa opposite him.

Angela loosened her grip on the clothes a little, but didn't let go. She was still tense.

"The baby can be affected by its mother's mood," James saw her slight movement, pursed his lips and said, "Besides, Angela spent two years in prison, and her physical condition is not good. Grandpa, if you want your great-grandson to be safe and sound, it's better to take care of her feelings."

Lawson smacked his hand down to the table, rose to his feet and shouted, "Do you really think that my great-grandson can only be the one in Angela's womb?!"

"Since you have so many grandsons, naturally you'll have more than one great-grandson." James gave a wry smile, "But you don't have much time left, and the one you can hold in your arms might only be this one."

Angela heard that and her heart skipped a beat. In an instant, sweat burst out on her forehead, back and palms.

To someone so powerful like Lawson, his biggest taboo was the mention of death, not to mention that there was indeed not much time left for him!
