Let Me Go, Mr. Harvey novel Chapter 93

The crowd that had been surreptitiously sizing up this scene was now staring directly and blatantly at James and the others.

James smiled, glanced faintly at Adeline, and said, “You think I’ve delayed Jessica’s marriage?”

“Sure!” Adeline pinched her waist with one hand and tilted her head slightly, saying without hesitation, “If it isn’t because she likes you and wants to marry you, I would have arranged another marriages for her.

The onlookers wanted to laugh, sighing at how her family, a scholarly family, could raise a daughter like her, who didn’t think twice about what she said and did.

“If I have delayed Jessica’s marriage, then I have to apologize.” James bent down slightly and said.

“You don’t need to let her suffer from injustice either. You can arrange other marriages for her and I will never stop it.”

Adeline didn’t expect him to say that and froze for a moment, then pointed at him for quite a long time. Her face turned red with anger but she didn’t say a word.

“Mom, what are you doing here?” Jessica turned her wheelchair to her side. The corners of her eyes still had an unresolved redness, and there was more than a little soft beauty in her gentle temperament.

Danis stood at the back of her wheelchair, his brows furrowed, the anger at the bottom of his eyes overwhelming.

He gave James an angry look, clenching his fists without making a sound.

“Seek justice for you!” Adeline continued to complain about James, and at the end said with an iron face,

“He doesn’t like you, and you are not married yet. Let’s go. I’ll go back now to arrange another marriage for you. I have to make him regret it!”

She pushed Danis aside and was about to leave with Jessica.

Jessica grabbed the wheels with both hands, which exactly offset the strength of Adeline, and the wheelchair did not move.

She sighed with helplessness, “Mom, stop joking.”

“Joking? You said I’m joking?”

Adeline let go of the wheelchair and pointed backhand at herself, full of aggression and anger, “Who am I doing this for?”

Jessica had a difficult look on her face and explained softly, “Mom, don’t be angry. I just think that this birthday party was held by auntie for Angela and shouldn’t be blamed on James.”

James stood aside and looked down at the glass of wine in his hand as if none of this had anything to do with him.

“You haven’t even married him yet and you are defending him?”

Hearing this, Adeline was so angry that her voice even broke a little due to its sharpness.

She turned her head to Danis, clutching his arm and pointing at Jessica aggressively and angrily, and said.

“Danis, you come to judge if I’m doing this for her good.”

“Mom, you need to speak less.”

Danis swept his eyes at the crowd of onlookers, both ashamed and angry, and said in a very small voice,

“Have you forgotten how much trouble you stirred up by talking nonsense at Uncle Lorenzo’s side?

Indeed, James and Angela...”

Adeline pushed him away and interrupted him in a sharp voice, “Fine, you two siblings have grown up and have your own thoughts, so you don’t listen to me anymore, right? I’ll go, okay?!”

After saying that, she didn’t give them any look and angrily left as a group of people looked on.

Danis frowned but only took two steps to go after her before stopping and then rejoining Jessica.
