Desperate Lovers
Chapter 43 She Was Ready for A Rejection

"Angela is blessed to have you as a friend."

Jessica smiled and turned her wheelchair to face James, "James, I know Angela bumped my leg, which made you hold a grudge, but I don't blame her. So just let her follow me to the hospital. Is that okay for you?"

James stood against the light, and it was impossible to read his expression.

"James, please just agree. You're always by my side, so she won't dare to hurt me."

Jessica spoke with a bit of the pettiness of a woman in love.

Angela sneered in her heart. Jessica really made it her mission to cast in a bone between her and James at all times. Even if he had agreed to let her go at first, after hearing these words from Jessica, he would still disagree.

She was ready for rejection, but James said.

"You push Jessica out."

Smugness dissipated under Jessica's eyes. She froze for a moment and this time she said with a real forced smile, "Be careful, don't be as fidgety as last time. You almost dropped me, which caused my brother to misunderstand you."

Her voice was not too low. Rather than saying it to Angela, she said it to James and Danis.

But James only left her with a slender back, not as she wished.

"If you're sensible, don't get any thoughts on Jessica that you shouldn't."

Danis walked over to Angela and leaned down to warn her.

Julia wanted to say something for Angela, but she glanced at the expressionless Danis and the pitiful Jessica, and finally said nothing, only feeling uneasy.

Angela murmured pensively, "I really wish I have done it"

They said she attempted to murder Jessica, then she'd like to kill Jessica once. They said she had a snake's heart then she wanted to play a trick on Jessica a few more times. At least when she was blamed again, she didn't have to feel so suffocated.

"What are you trying to do again?"

Danis lowered his voice, each word squeezing out of his throat.

"Don't worry about it, Mr. Danis."

Angela took a few steps back and pulled away from him, "With Mr. James and you here, do you think I dare to harm Miss Jessica?"

"It's good that you know it."

Seeing her so far away from him, Danis felt very bad in his heart.

But he quickly frowned and suppressed this strange sentiment in his chest.

He couldn't love a woman who tried deliberately to murder his sister.

A flash of mockery flashed in Angela's eyes, "If you're really unsure, you can follow your sister twenty-four hours a day so as not to give me any chance to hurt her."

Danis plucked out a glance coldly at her, walked over to Jessica, bending down, and said something tenderly, then left with big strides.

"Angela, I......"

Julia stole a glance at Jessica and said with a reddened face.

Angela interrupted her directly, "If you have something to do, go back first. I'll accompany Miss Jessica to the rehab."

It was understandable that Julia didn't want to offend Jessica and the others because of her, after all, even her relatives had cut ties with her because of it. "I'm sorry!"

Julia smiled sarcastically and reached out, "You have to push the wheelchair. It's not convenient to take these things, so let me take them back for you."

"Thanks."

Angela gave her all the shopping bags.

On the side, Jessica sighed softly and lamented.

"You two are so close. Angela, this lady is very nice to you, so please don't let her make the same mistake I did."

Julia took the shopping bag and looked at her with confusion.

"It's nothing. It's just that I used to be good friends with Angela too, but it turned out that... Well, just forget it"

Jessica looked at her legs and smiled bitterly.

Julia smiled sarcastically, swept her eyes at Angela beside her, and then looked at Jessica, with an embarrassed face and some indefinable emotions. "Don't keep Mr. James waiting.

Julia, we'll go first."

Angela's face remained unchanged, except that the hand clutching the wheelchair was so hard that the tips of her fingers were white.

She pushed Jessica to the parking lot and found James sitting in the Bentley.

He opened the door and got out of the car without giving her a single glance, his eyes falling directly on Jessica.

Angela's eyes downcast, and her heart was numb.

He only cared about Jessica, which she had known for a long time.

"James, sorry to trouble you."

Jessica looked up at him, her eyes filled with love and warmth.

James walked to the wheelchair and bent over, his long, good-looking fingers running through her armpits and knees to hold her in his arms.

Standing at the back of the wheelchair, Angela watched his angular face bathed in light, strikingly handsome, just as it had been when she first saw him.

He was just a little less youthful and holding an extra woman he loved in his arms.

She watched Jessica shyly put her arms around his neck while he looked down at Jessica, only to feel her heartache as if being stabbed by a sharp knife, blood dripping in an instant. "Angela, there's no room in the back, so you can take the passenger seat."

Jessica lowered the window and said with bent eyes.

"Oh, could you please put the wheelchair into the trunk?"

Passing her and looking at the indifferent James, Angela nodded a moment later, withdrew her gaze, and put the wheelchair into the trunk.

"I'll put the tissues on the seat for you. You can do it yourself."

The driver said.

Angela hummed and opened the door, her fingers trembling slightly as she pulled out a paper towel and spread it on the seat and the floor before sitting in.

"I'm really sorry for making you look like a servant."

Jessica bit her lip and said pitifully.

Angela smoothed the tissue papers that were a little wrinkled as she sat down, clutching the corner of her coat and said faintly.

"Never mind."

She took a deep breath and said, holding back her resentment.

"I broke your leg, so I do this to make up for it."

Being soft might make James feel less disgusted with her.

She could be soft as long as she can get rid of his revenge.

James inclined his head and glanced at her, his eyes obscure, but he quickly moved his eyes away.

"Even though what you did to make up for it was nothing for my legs, I'm still impressed."

Jessica finished curving her lips, her gaze drifting to the tissues under her seat and at her feet, "Why do you need to have tissues?" Angela licked her dry lips, her mouth tasting of cosmetics, and she swept James from the rearview mirror, right into his dark eyes.

Her heart palpitated and she averted her gaze, "I don't want to pollute Mr. James's car."

"Really?"

Jessica blinked, her pretty face tinged with a bit of confusion, "But once I got wet and sat in soaking wet, James didn't say anything about it." She twisted her head to look at James beside her, "Right, James?"

Angela's throat tightened and her right hand crumpled a piece of tissue under her body into a ball, suffocating in her chest.

She tried to look as normal as she could, not wanting to look so lousy.

"Yes."

James continued as the corners of Jessica's mouth gradually curled up.

"No tissues."

The smile on Jessica's face stiffened for a moment.

"I didn't keep tissues in the car before, but I do now, so next time you're here, use them down too."

James pulled out a packet of tissues and put it between himself and Jessica, "Or I stop the car this minute and you lay it on?"

Jessica bit her lip and pouted.

"How can you make such a joke?"☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
