As expected by James, Mr. Lawson was very dissatisfied with the Smith family's actions, and arranged to reveal some scandals about the Smith Group. It wasn't until Grandpa Smith compromised and promised him a certain benefit that he patched up broken relations with the Smith family.
——In the face of interests, there were no eternal enemies or absolute friends.
Angela pretended to be sick in the hospital for a few days, and then returned to the Chante family with James. During this period, Jessica remained quiet, as if she had given up struggling. It seemed that everything was going in a good direction.
Greyson was very dissatisfied with James's arrival. The plaster on his body had been removed, and he rolled up his sleeves and wanted to fight with James. Finally Luna pulled him away.
"Greyson, don't cause trouble. James was forced to do those things. Don't blame him!" Lorenzo scolded him.
Greyson snorted and said to James, "You can't even protect your woman. You're really useless!"
"Brother, thank you for entrusting Angela to me. I will take good care of her." James took Angela's hand and said solemnly.
"Fuck, why do you call me brother? Who is your brother? Why are you so ashamed!" Greyson's eyes widened, like a cat whose tail was stepped on, "Also, who agrees to entrust Angela to you? Fucking nonsense!"
He was so angry that he was swearing so much and he didn't even notice Luna glaring at him.
"Doesn't the 'own woman' mean that Angela is my woman, brother?" James smiled and emphasized the final title.
Greyson was very exasperated and shocked. He flushed and couldn't speak for a long time.
“... ”, Angela pursed her lips and whispered, "Don't tease my brother."
James squeezed the palm of her hand and said casually, "I'm trying to ease the relationship with him."
Greyson stared at his small movements, and widened his eyes. He squeezed between them with a sullen face and pulled James behind.
“... Mr. Harvey, Greyson was still a little grudged by your previous behavior. He is stubborn, so you don't need to take it too seriously. "Luna walked beside him, helping her husband mediate the dispute.
James always looked at Angela, and calmly said, "Sister-in-law, just call me James. You don't need to be so polite. As for brother, he is doing this because he loves Angela, and I'm very happy to see that."
Luna smiled with mixed feelings when she heard the 'sister-in-law', and she understood Greyson's mood a bit.
In order to get rid of James, Greyson deliberately speeded up and led Angela into her previous room.
The room was exactly the same as when she left two years ago. Even the dress she didn't wear at the birthday dinner was still on the bed, as if she had never left.
"Mom used to blame you for harming Jessica and has beat you because of dad, but she always wanted you to come back. After you leave, mom cleans up your room by herself every day. Sometimes she misses you very much, so she cleans it several times a day, and then sits on the bed in a daze for hours. "Greyson's voice was much lower than usual.
Angela lowered her eyes and slowly stroked the things in the room, feeling sad.
They were better preserved than when she was there, and it was obvious that mom had taken good care of them.
"During that time, mom... She also suffered from depression, and later received treatment and became better. Recently, it relapsed again, and I saw that she was taking medicine secretly. "
"Angela, I am not smart, but I also know what you are worried about. You dare not get close to mom anymore, for fear that dad will use her to force you to do things you hate. But...Anyway... I don't know what to say! "Greyson scratched his hair irritably.
Depression? !
