Let Me Go, Mr. Harvey

“I don’t like men, thanks.”

James said yes and pushed away Sean who was about to come up to his face.

Sean simply took off his gold-rimmed glasses which he had pushed askew, and said curiously,

“Ms. Adeline, the siblings, and Mr. Edward all came over to see you. Were they all here to urge your marriage?”

James frowned and didn’t hide his discontent for the four members of the Smith family in front of Sean, “Or what?”

“I thought they might have said something else besides that.” Sean said.

“Like distancing yourself from Angela or the attitude you and your mother have towards Angela…”

James had lived for twenty-four years, and although he wasn’t treated well by his grandpa, he had never been so stifled.

He was being set up, but he couldn’t fix the other side for a while and had to do something against his will under the other side’s blackmail.

He picked up a glass of red wine. The cold liquid slid down his throat, which slightly suppressed the anger in his heart, “They said it too.”

“They not only force a marriage but also want to control everything. The Smith family is getting more and more arrogant with you!”

Sean pinched a snack and lamented. James grunted, not commenting.

“James.” Sean tossed the remaining small half of the snack into his mouth, hesitated slightly, and asked,

“You marry Jessica, then your mother…” He paused for a moment before continuing, “feel comfortable?”

There were some twists and turns among Jason, Adeline, and Denise, something that was known to almost everyone in the circle except for some of the younger generations.

Jason was a well-deserved playboy. He changed women frequently like changing clothes, but Adeline was an exception for him.

The two grew up as childhood sweethearts, and Jason had the intention to marry Adeline back then, but Adeline resented his ambiguity with too many women and married Edward, who was pursuing her fiercely at the time.

If things ended here, forget it. Who hadn’t pursued a lover when he was young?

But Jason was angry and married Denise, who was a good match for the family, according to his father’s intention.

Meanwhile, Adeline had been arrogant and indulgent since her childhood.

After she married into the Smith family, even though Edward had done his best to treat her well, as soon as a word wasn’t right for her heart, she turned her head and went to Jason to complain.

Even on the night Jason and Denise got married, Jason was called over by a word from Adeline and didn’t come back the whole night.

There have been lots of similar or more outrageous things going on between them ever since then.

Because of this, after Denise got married, she had a lot of trouble with Jason, and several times they almost ended up with a divorce, but both families did not agree.

On the other hand, because of Adeline’s relationship, the Smith family got a lot of benefits from the Harvey Group, so Edward turned a blind eye to it, as long as his son and daughter was his own.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

James’s slender fingers tapped on the table, clenching his fist slightly as he inclined his head to look at him and asked rhetorically,

“Uncle Arthur allowed the illegimate son to be the CEO of the family group, while you were forced to go abroad for a time. Are you Ok with that?”

Silence.

After a long time, Sean put on his glasses, gave a light laugh, and said with a slight hang of his head,

“I’m the one who asked an improper question, so forget what I just said.”

“I also said something improper, sorry.”

James rubbed his brow, his eyes deep, “Marrying into the Harvey family, some things are out of my mother’s control, was just like you and I were born in the Brown family and the Harvey family, so somethings are out of our control as well.”

These words were a sort of answer to the question raised by Sean earlier.

“Okay, forget it. Come on, cheers!” Sean raised his glass forward with a gentle smile on his handsome face.

James clinked with him and raised his glass until it was empty, his obscure eyes falling on the Mrs and Mr. Chante who were weaving through the crowd.

Sean followed his line of sight and said, “Before the siblings came to you, they were telling Uncle Lorenzo and Auntie Elva about how Angela was bullying them. I and Raya happened to hear that.

You guess what?

“All the wrongs are Angela’s, all the grievances are Jessica’s, and all the justice is Danis’s.”

James’s eyebrows were tinged with a few moments of mockery.

“That’s a good summary!” Sean clapped his hands and sighed.

“The couple is really interesting, and Danis…”

He laughed meaningfully, “And I don’t know if he is really stupid or not.”

James didn’t make a sound this time. Danis wasn’t stupid but he just trusted his sister too much.

Sean stabbed his arm, “Angela’s parents do not support her. Although she has a brother who loves her, his brother is useless. She is pathetic, so let her go.”

“It is none of your business.”

James’s eyes darkened a bit, and his fingers tapped the table slightly faster.

Sean swept his hand that kept tapping on the table and coughed lightly, “She has been following you for so many years, and she has no deep hatred with you, but why do you…”

“You’re really worrying too much.”

James didn’t hear him out and just stood up, fastening the buttons on his suit jacket with a slightly austere expression.

Sean hurriedly followed and stood up, “Fine, it’s your own choice and I won’t say anything in the future, okay?

If my girl hasn’t insisted on asking me to intercede, I don’t want to get involved in your mess with Angela?”

He shoved the gift into James’s arms, “Here you go. Make sure you hand it to Angela, or my girl will be yelling at me again!

I’ll go first!” After saying that, he just left.

James glanced at the gift box in his hand and casually tossed it onto the table before walking towards the front.

But after a few steps, he turned back and left with the gift.

Angela stayed at Auntie Susan’s restaurant for over an hour before she left by car. When she was about to leave, Auntie Susan said a lot of exhortations such as “Come here for noodles when you’re free” and “I will introduce my nephew to you when he come back”.

“Mom and Dad have not gone home yet. Are you sure you don’t want to go see my kids?”

Luna felt that Angela was too depressed. There was never a light in her eyes, so maybe it would be better for her to see the kids and cheer her up.

Angela lowered her head, the shadows of the tress, streetlights, and the buildings sliding across her face, and she was silent for a long time, shaking her head at the expectant look on Luna’s face.

“It’s up to you!”

Greyson completely failed to understand his wife’s intention. His face was full of disgust, but his look could not hide his doting, “The kids are naughty. If they were not my children, I would have beaten them up!”

Luna glared at him.

Greyson felt aggrieved, “Angela is so beautifully dressed today. What if she hugs the kids and gets peed on by them? It’s not just that she can see them today.”

“Angela, are you tired today?”

Luna ignored her husband and whispered to Angela, “Why don’t you go over and see the kids someday when Mom and Dad aren’t at home?”
