James put down his chopsticks, took out a napkin, and wiped the corners of his mouth gracefully, "Grandpa may not live to that time."
Silence.
After a while, Denise said in a complex mood, "If your grandfather doesn't survive that time, naturally you don't have to worry about this issue. But recently a new cancer drug was developed in the United States. Even if your grandpa can't recover from drinking it, it shouldn't be a problem to live longer. "
"I heard about it too." James frowned slightly.
Denise waited for him to continue.
"You don't have to worry about this, I will find a way to deal with it." James said.
"Do you think of a way to deal with it, or can't you handle it at all?" Denise said anxiously, "The excuses like accidental miscarriage or late delivery will only tell your grandpa in disguised form that you are lying to him!"
James bowed his head to eat, but did not answer.
"When Angela gets pregnant, just expedite child delivery. It should be fine that the baby was born two months prematurely. "Denise said.
James put the chopsticks on top of the bowl, and said solemnly, "No. I will think of other ways. "
"James!" Denise frowned and called him.
James chuckled, but there was no hint of happiness in his eyes, "If I hurt my child, do you think I will hurt you and dad?"
Silence.
For a long time.
Denise sighed lightly, "Your grandfather did tricks on the ledger, right? If it can't be solved, just tell your uncle. "
"No need to." James said.
Denise looked at him and said helplessly, "What is the role of relatives? Aren't they just helping you? If you weren't so eager to excel, you wouldn't have to suffer so much. "
"A lot of people want to get something from grandpa and uncle. I will only cause them trouble if I ask them for help. "James didn't want to continue this topic, and said, "Angela is going to return to the Chante family."
Denise didn't insist on the previous topic anymore. She pondered for a while and asked, "Is Angela afraid of dragging you down?"
"It's not... She was afraid that she could not love me. "James picked up the chopsticks, and his smile looked a little bit... Triumphant.
Denise was speechless.
They talked for a while. No matter what Denise asked, James told her to leave it alone and he would solve it.
"You neither answer my questions nor tell me no matter what happens." Denise looked at the obvious slap marks on James's face and the unopened gauze on his neck with a gloomy expression, "I'm really afraid that one day you will annoy your grandpa, and then..."
James retracted his smile and said sternly, "Even if I don't mess with grandpa, do you think he can let me go?"
Denise was speechless.
"If being a profitable dog for someone can be considered as letting me go, he did it." James paused and said slowly, "But I am a person, not a dog."
