Let Me Go, Mr. Harvey

Greyson sounded very anxious over the phone, “Have you talked with our parents? Are you going back home? In fact, it’s good to live at home. Without that bastard James bullying you, if Dad treats you bad, I will …”

“I won’t go back. When you are free, we can meet outside.” Angela interrupted him softly.

To be honest, she understood Greyson and Elva, as she was a member of the Chante family after all. They wanted her to go back and lived together as a happy family.

However, understanding their perspective did not mean she would do that.

Once anything happened, just like a mirror was broken, the cracks remained even if it was repaired. And it was irreversible.

After a long while, Greyson hummed vaguely, and then complaint to her, “You are wise to block Danis. Soon after the trial was announced today, he kept calling me like crazy and asked where you are. He wanted to apologize to you.”

“I’m so annoyed. He made a dozen calls. If I’m a gay, I may think he’s hitting on me. Of course, even if I am a gay, I won’t choose him. He was scrupulous, and followed a sage like discipline. In the end, he was a fool.”

Angela frowned, “Why don’t you block him? I don’t want to see him; I have nothing to say to him.”

“If I could, I would have blocked him long ago.” Greyson was very aggrieved. “Dad has arranged a job for me recently. I am responsible for a cooperation project with the Smith Group. Danis is the contact person. Dad said if I can’t solve this kind of trivial matter, I won’t have to go back to work.”

Angela licked her dry lips, listened to his tease for a while, and comforted him. She cheered him up, and told him not to worry about it.

After Angela hung up the phone, she released Danis from the blacklist, and then sent him a message.

“Your apology is meaningless to me, and I don’t need it. There is no need to say anything now.”

As soon as the information was sent, Danis called her. The phone buzzed for a long time, and after a while, it began to buzz hysterically again.

Angela frowned and answered, “This…”

“I’m sorry. I know it’s useless to say it now, but I still want to say it to you.” Danis interrupted her, and his voice was more hoarse than usual.

“I thought Jessica and I grew up together and I knew everything about her, but I didn’t expect that she would plan for three years and even risk her life to frame you.” He said slowly, “I’m sorry, I always thought I was right. That’s why I blamed you.”

When the truth had come to light, Angela thought she would be happy when everyone apologized to her. But in fact, neither Elva’s apology nor Danis’ delighted her.

The only feeling left was repression.

She was holding the phone tighter, and wanted to hang up.

“Please don’t hang up.” Danis was begging, “I promise, I will never disturb you again after I apologize to you.”

Angela tried to hang up the phone, and when she heard it, she hesitated, “You said the same in the bar.”

“I mean it this time.” Danis’s voice was full of bitterness, which could hardly be concealed. “I didn’t expect to wrong you for so long and say anything to hurt you. I really don’t know what to do now to make up for the mistakes I made.”

Angela walked along the sidewalk and turned to look at the milk tea shop, and through the glass windows, she saw her parents were arguing intensely.

She became serious and stopped suddenly. Then she took two steps back, stopped again, intending to return to the shop.

What would she say when she went back to the milk tea shop?

That she would go back to the Chante family with them, and they should stop arguing?

It was impossible. Her father asked her to go back because he took a fancy to her relationship with James, and she wouldn’t go back and be taken advantage of by him.

What could she do when she went back? Nothing can be done! It will only aggravate their argument.

“Why don’t you speak?” Danis asked, “I want to hear your voice. Is it so hard for you?”

Angela said coldly, “What do you want me to say? That I forgive you and your kind-hearted sister? You will never hear it from me.”

“Jessica deserves her punishment, and I won’t plead for her.” Danis’s voice sounded exhausted.

Angela smirked, “Pleading? Two million dollars of mental damage compensation and ten days of detention, how would you plead for such a light punishment?”

Danis was silent.

“Is there anything else?” Angela was already impatient, with hatred mixed in her tone, “I’m gonna hang up, and don’t call me again. Goodbye.”

Danis said in a hurry, “Wait a minute.”

“Is there anything else?” Angela changed her hand holding the phone.

Danis paused, and then asked slowly, “I want to ask you, James misunderstood you before, he broke your legs, and sent you to prison. If I didn’t believe Jessica blindly, and chose to believe you, would you be with me?”

“No. We have known each other for so many years. If I had feelings for you, I would have been with you a long time ago. It is impossible for me to wait until the accident occurs. Moreover, there is no such a thing as “if”.” said Angela,

She emphasized the last sentence.

“You answer with no hesitation. I really don’t have a shot.” Danis forced a smile, “What about James? He has done so many things to wrong you, how can you put everything down and be with him?”

Angela lost her patience, “I don’t need to answer your question, now or before.”

“So I mean nothing to you.” Danis said in a low voice.

“You were like a brother to me” Angela thought about it instantly, but didn’t say it.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“I have thought it through, and I’m not going to marry Cathleen.” Danis said.

“Oh, when you tell them the news, don’t let Jessica and Adeline blame on me again.” Angela said, “Don’t call me again. Goodbye.”

She hung up the phone and took a taxi to the hospital.

It’s time for Roland to see her legs today.

When Angela arrived at his office, Roland was not there, only one intern was inside.

“Hello,” the intern said, “Roland is out for an emergency treatment, so please wait a moment.”

Angela nodded, “Okay.”

Following the intern’s instructions, she sat down on a chair.

It was embarrassing for two strangers to be in the same room. Angela looked down at her phone, but the intern looked at her frequently.

“Is there anything on my face?” Angela asked, putting her phone away.
