Desperate Lovers

Chapter 93 Who Am I Doing This for?

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.

Jessica watched Adeline’s figure disappear in the doorway and sighed softly, her eyebrows tinged with

a bit of loss and sadness.

She called the waiter, got a glass of wine, turned her wheelchair to James, biting her lips, and said,

“My mom has been well protected by our family since she was young, so her personality is a little too

simple and she does things based on her mood.

She didn’t mean anything by what she said just now, so I hope you won’t blame her.”

“That’s true about what Auntie Adeline said.”

James sat down on the chair and looked at her levelly, “You are old enough to get married if you want.

We will never stop it. When you get married, I’ll send a generous gift.”

Hearing this, Jessica’s nostrils constricted slightly, and a mood of gloom flashed quickly under her

eyes.

Danis walked up to them and looked at James from above with contempt mixed with jealousy and

annoyance, “You caused Jessica to lose her right leg and made her wait for two years. Now Angela is

out of prison, so you want to annul your marriage with Jessica?!”

“Brother, don’t misunderstand James. He’s just mad at what mom said.”

Jessica raised his glass at James, “I apologize for my mom.” She lifted her glass and finished it with a

graceful gulp, placing the empty glass on the table.

“Your mother is greatly lucky to have a daughter like you.” James raised his glass at her, but only took

a sip and said perfunctorily,

“Excuse me. I have something urgent.”

Danis was very unpleasant with him and wanted to follow up and say something, but he was stopped

by Jessica.

She shook her head at him, “Brother, if you are really good for me, then you should fight for me less in

front of James. Everything I’ve done is my own choice.”

“I really don’t understand what’s so good about James that you have to marry him?”

Danis drank two glasses of red wine in a row, sat down on the chair, and looked at her with an inclined

head, “He doesn’t have you in his heart at all. Can’t a person as smart as you see that?”

Jessica smiled and asked bitterly, “What about you? Why did you still pursue her when you knew that

Angela didn’t have you in her heart?”

“...Hope you won’t regret it later.” Danis’s eyes dimmed, and after a long time of silence, he said with a

complicated expression.

“I won’t.”

Jessica lowered her eyes, her eyelashes fluttering a few times, “Besides, what’s the use of regretting?”

She lifted her eyes to glance at him and smiled faintly, “Just like you, even if you regret and blame

yourself in your heart, aren’t you still falling for Angela?”

Danis’s body stiffened violently, the bottom of his eyes filled with shock and guilt.

He wanted to say something but Jessica preceded him and said.

“Auntie has really spent a fortune on Angela. The new city secretary you want to see but can’t see is

also here. Let’s go.”

James had always found the Smith family difficult to deal with, like hydroids. As long as they were

stuck, he can hardly get ride of them.

But tonight, the Smith family was extraordinarily annoying, and just after getting rid of those three,

James met Edward, Jessica’s father.

“I just heard from the hotel manager that you sent them to look for Angela?” Edward’s voice was gentle.

James said yes and teased. “I wonder how Jessica always knows where I am and what I’m doing and it

turns out it’s a specialty genetic.”

“I’m not that good. I just happened to hear from others.”

Edward waved his hand and took a sip of champagne, “I didn’t mean anything else. I just came to say. I This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

have a few acquaintances in the traffic police. Do you need to ask them to help you find out where

Angela and the others have gone?”

James said, “Uncle, thanks a lot, but if I want to know where Angela has gone, a phone call will do, so

no need to bother you.”
