Desperate Lovers novel Chapter 123

The waiter immediately said yes, and thoughtfully wiped the table and chairs several times for Cathleen, a ‘mysophobia freak'.

Jessica spun the wheelchair to reach the table of Angela and curved her lips, "James, do you mind putting the tables together so we can eat together?"

James didn't make a sound, just looked at Sean.

"I'm sorry Miss Jessica."

Sean pushed his glasses and laughed.

"I'm the one who's paying the bill today, and I don't like to eat with strangers."

Jessica wasn't annoyed, and said softly.

"It was presumptuous of me. If Mr. Sean doesn't like to eat with strangers, I cannot force so.

But since we ran into each other, would you mind making friends with me, Mr. Sean?"

"Sean Brown."

Sean extended his hand towards Jessica, as if he had a point, "I've heard a lot about Miss Jessica."

Jessica smiled and shook her hand, “Jessica Smith”.

I haven't heard much of Mr. Sean, and I'm sorry we haven't met until now."

Raya stared intently at the two hands clasped together, grunted unpleasantly, and looked down as she whirled through the menu.

During this time, Danis sat on a side seat, his gaze pinned on Angela.

As if she was unaware of it, when the waiters put twelve scallops with garlic and vermicelli on the table, Angela stood up and 'thoughtfully' placed two scallops each in front of James, Sean and Raya.

She took a bite first, then looked at James and said.

"The scallops taste great, especially with the garlic on top. Won't you try them?"

Raya gulped and picked up the scallop and took a bite, nodding her head repeatedly, her eyes shining brightly.

And James looked at the scallops and picked them up as well, taking a bite, his face as normal, "Well, it's okay."

He ate one scallop in a graceful but extremely quick manner, and then picked up another scallop with a natural look and put it into his mouth.

Seeing this, a flash of surprise flashed in Angela's eyes, and she instantly felt the scallop in her mouth was tasteless.

Danis had been watching her, and when he saw her repeatedly paying close attention to James, his thin lips tightened into a line, and the bottom of his amber eyes looked unusually deep from anger.

“She won't become yours no matter how long you look at her."

Cathleen’s face was unusually ugly, "After chasing after a girl for so many years, she still didn't accept you, and you're still delusional enough to think she will suddenly have a crush on you?"

Her voice was not too loud or small, but the neighboring table could definitely hear it.

Angela kept her head down and ate her scallops, just pretending to hear nothing.

James's eyes, on the other hand, sank, moving to glance at Danis without any intention, and slowed down his movement with the scallop in his hand.

Being poked by Cathleen, Danis withdrew his gaze, his face getting ironic.

"Cathleen, have a look at what I ordered, is it okay for you ?"

Jessica turned her head to look at Cathleen and said softly.

"Do you want to add a few more things?"

Cathleen didn't follow the way Jessica gave her, and said with a vague smile, “No, thanks. I am full with anger. What else do I need to eat?"

"Wow, Angela, these honey baked chicken wings are super delicious, try it.”

Raya took a bite of the chicken wings, the bottom of her eyes instantly filled with bright stars, handing one of the chicken wings to Angela like offering a treasure.

Angela took a bite, and felt it sweet, but not greasy, and the chicken meat inside was tender. It was really well grilled, "Mmm, it's quite delicious."
