Desperate Lovers

Chapter 176 A Marriage Contract Is Nothing

James's whole body was tense, looking down at the swirl of her hair. His handsome face was no

different from his usual expression, but only he knew how fast his heart was beating at that moment.

Sometimes love was a strange thing. Without realizing that he liked her, the occasional physical contact

would bring him inexplicable pleasure.

After realizing his love for her, the smallest response from her could make his heart beat faster ... even

though, he knew she was just taking advantage of him.

"The two of us just resolved our misunderstanding today."

Angela looked at Jessica with an intention. "I don’t need to mention what misunderstanding was being

solved, do I? You should know better than me."

Jessica's hand gripping the armrest of the wheelchair turned white, and the smile on her face was not

as natural as usual. "What’s the misunderstanding? How can I understand what you're saying?"

"It's okay if you can't."

Angela was so disgusted by Jessica that her stomach churned. "All you need to know is that James

confessed to me today. He said he wanted to make it up to me and let me stay by his side for the rest

of his life."

James? James looked down at her, a string of tenderness hidden in his dark eyes. She hadn't called

him like that for a long time.

Jessica's pupils shrank slightly, and she could hardly maintain the smile on her face, but

subconsciously she turned to James with disbelief in her eyes.

James was silent and let her look, which was a tacit acknowledgement.

"He confessed to you, and you're with him now?" Without waiting for Jessica to say anything, Danis Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

had already exploded.

After counting all of James's vices, he said with gritted teeth, "He has humiliated you and tortured you

like that, but you still want to be with him? Angela, don’t you feel ashamed?"

"Why are you so excited about whether Angela is with me or not?"

James twitched his mouth and took a step forward, blocking in front of Angela, cutting off Danis' view of

her. "Or you still love Angela?"

After saying that, he cast a glance at Jessica, who was standing behind Danis.

Hearing that, Danis' face instantly turned from an angry burst of red to a heartfelt pallor. As he

subconsciously glanced at Jessica, he stiffly denied, "No ..."

"Then, in the future, I'd like to ask you to stay away from my woman. I don't like to see other men

pestering her."

James looked directly at Danis, his dark eyes holding a warning.

The words “my woman” made Angela uncomfortable, but she just frowned and didn't say anything.

Danis had already had a fiancée Cathleen, who was hard to deal with, and Jessica and Adeline were

even tougher to get along.

Angela had no interest in him in that way, while now she was even more tired of his pestering and

found it disgusting and annoying. If she could use James to get rid of Danis, she would be happy to do

so.

Jessica didn't expect the two would suddenly be together, and at that moment, James' “my woman”

sounded even more harsh and unusual to her.

Forcing a smile, she bit her lip and said,

"James, did you ... did you forget about our marriage contract?"

Without waiting for James to answer, Angela sneered,

"A marriage contract is nothing, while love is the truth. Jessica, when I was engaged to James, you

also intervened into it. Now I just claim what is mine."

Jessica used to disgust her for that.

And now she would treat Jessica in the same way!

Jessica's smile froze on her face, dumbfounded for a moment.

“Angela!” Danis never thought that the woman he liked was actually so disgusting. "You attempted to

murder Jessica, but she didn't sue you for the sake of your friendship. But now you're taking away her

fiancé. Don’t you feel ashamed?"

As he said, he was about to grab Angela.

But James reached out to clutch his wrist with a cold face, and then shook him off with strength.

Danis stumbled before standing firmly against the wall.

"Let me remind you once again, stay away from her in the future."

The front of James's hospital gown had been stained with a bloodstain and his handsome face was

pale but tinged with a bit of hostility. He was standing in the sunlight, but like a demon breeding in the

darkness.

Danis was shocked by his aura, and after a moment he said with an annoyed face,

"You said Angela is your woman. What about Jessica? Don’t you care for her?"

"No, I don’t." James didn't leave any room for Jessica. "My heart is only big enough to hold one

person."

Jessica knew James didn't have any affection for her. But when she really heard him saying that, she

couldn’t help feeling disappointed. Besides, her jealousy and hatred towards Angela grew heavier.

If there was no Angela in this world, a man as shrewd and sensible as James would have agreed to

marry her without hesitation!

Danis couldn't tell if he was angry for his sister or jealous that James could still be with Angela after all

the wrong things he had done.

He clenched his fist, the veins on his forehead popping up. "Someone like you is not worthy of being

engaged to Jessica!"

"Then please try to persuade your sister so that she won’t try every way to get engaged with me again."

James's face was much paler than before.

After saying that, he directly wrapped his arm around Angela's waist and entered the ward, then

slammed the door with a bang.

Looking at the closed door, Danis’ eyes were full of pain, struggle, anger and some indefinable

emotions.

"Brother, like what James said, do you still love Angela in your heart?"

Jessica's eyes were downcast, and her expression looked a bit forlorn.

After her words, Danis' heart stuttered and he said almost immediately, "No!"

"Actually, it's okay if you still love her." Jessica forced a smile. "You don't have to suppress the feelings

in your heart for my sake.

If you still like Angela, you can go after her. But before you do it, make sure you make it clear to

Cathleen because she's the biggest victim of your relationship."

Danis looked at the closed door again and struggled for a long time before saying,

"No, I stopped loving Angela long time ago. Don't think too much."

How could he still love Angela after what she did to Jessica?

Besides, Grandpa's affair with Timothy was recently known to the public. If he were to break off his

engagement with Cathleen and went after the woman who tried to murder her sister two years ago, the

Smith family would be troubled by scandals!

"I'm not thinking too much." Jessica let out a bitter laugh. "I really ... I really think if you still have the

feeling, go after her, because I don't want you to leave any regrets for me."

The more understanding she was, the guiltier, self-condemned and ashamed Danis felt. "Stop it,

Jessica. It's impossible for me to be with her."

Hearing this, Jessica sighed lightly, and a light flashed in her slightly drooping eyes.
