CHAPTERS 720 - 722
CHAPTER 720
Janell nodded obediently. She did not cry or make any more noise. She acted as if his departure did not bother her at all. Lucas forced himself to look away as he tried to leave. He turned around and took a step forward.
Behind him, Janell lifted her long hem up and followed him. He had long legs. For every step he took, it would take Janell two or three steps just to keep up with him. Within a few steps later, Lucas couldn't take it any longer. He looked back at Janell, and when he turned around, Janell was still following him like a persistent shadow.
At this moment, Lucas desperately wished that he could just leave everything behind. He wanted to stay with Janell and watch her grow up; or he could bring Janell with him and take her to his country...
But he couldn't do any of that. No matter what ideas he had, he couldn't do that. He could not act recklessly. The country was his responsibility.
Since he promised his mother that he would take up these responsibilities, there was no way for him to quit.
Janell's identity was also high-profie. Her father would never let anyone take her away. None of these two methods would work. If he took the wrong step at this moment, he would end up in a miserable position. The country could be destroyed!
"Janell, please don't follow me. The people sent by your daddy will be here soon." Lucas stiffened up and ignored Janell.
He turned around and continued walking forward. Janell couldn't care less. She lifted the hem of her dress and continued to follow behind Lucas . Every step that Lucas took, she would chase after him with more steps. She kept on chasing him. No matter what, she did not want to stop.
"Janell, you'd have to listen to what I said!"
Janell kept on following him. Lucas stopped his steps again and turned around to remind her.
"Brother Lucas, I want to follow you." Janell tried to grab him, but as he took a step forward, she could not hold him at all.
She knew what Lucas had said to her, but in the meantime, she didn't quite get what he meant... All she knew was that, if she let him go now, it would be a long time before she could see Lucas again.
As a young girl, she really tried her very best to hold back her tears. But after all, she was still too young, Lucas walked away faster and faster.
When she finally couldn't catch up with him, she cried desperately. Her cry was so loud it attracted the attention of the people who were looking for her immediately.
When those guys came over, she wiped her tears and looked over in the direction where Lucas left, but he was nowhere to be found.
Without Lucas, Janell cried even more bitterly. No one was allowed to get close to her. She kept on crying and crying, without saying anything. She only cried less when her parents rushed over to her later.
Jane hugged Janell tightly, and she kept on kissing and coaxing her. "Baby, why are you so sad? Tell me, what happened?"Jane did not know what had happened, but Edwin knew...
When he learned that Paul was also on the island, he instantly knew who had taken Janell away.
Because he knew who had taken Janell away, he figured that person would never hurt her as well. Hence, he wanted to drag Jane away to continue their "wedding night".
Surprisingly, as soon as he mentioned this request, Jane fell out with him immediately. Their child had gone missing, and not only was he calm, he was still thinking about other things.
Of course, Jane would be angry without knowing what was going on. However, Edwin did not want to explain much to her either, so he had to hold back his desire for Jane temporarily and came out to look for their daughter.
Janell's tiny little body kept twitching in her mother's arms. She looked so pitiful as if everyone in the world had bullied her.
"My Janell, please don't cry, please don't cry. We are both here now, and we will never ever leave you."
Jane blamed herself as she watched Janell cry sadly. She thought the reason Janell was so sad, because her parents had left her as soon as the wedding ended. This little fellow was always more emotionally reactive than other children. It was not strange for her to have such a reaction.
"Woo..." Janell wiped her tears and snot on her mother's outfit. Without Brother Lucas , she knew she still had her father and mother.
"Baby, tell me what happened, okay?" Jane kissed away the tears on Janell's face, and checked if there were any injuries on Janell. Jane was relieved to see Janell completely fine.
Edwin took over Janell and rubbed her head. "Baby, it's alright. We'll go back together and you can't cry anymore." Janell nestled into her father's embrace, and the sound of her crying faded slowly.
She fell asleep in her father's embrace eventually. When Edwin left with Janell in his arms, Lucas, who had been hiding in the dark, was watching them until they disappeared from his sight.
"When will I be able to see Janell again?"
He wished to see her as soon as possible. However, no one could predict what would happen tomorrow. Perhaps, they would see each other very soon, or perhaps, they would never meet again.
Janell was found, and there was no trace of injury. It was a false alarm, Edwin and Jane brought their child home, and the matter was settled.
The search for Janell was over. And the fight between Victor and Angela, which had been put on hold for the search for Janell, continued.
Victor glared fiercely at Angela, and Angela also stared at Victor defiantly. No one was willing to give in.
After a long time, Victor spoke first. He said fiercely, "Come back to Jiangbei with me." With his overpowering tone as if he was commanding his subordinates, Angela became even angrier.
"What a bastard! Who on earth did he think he was?" Angela was yelling out in her heart. Angela gritted her teeth, turned around and left.
As soon as she stepped forward, Victor pulled her back and yelled, "Angela, stop before you go too far." He had taken a step back, and let his ego down by many notches. He was definitely running out of patience.
Angela looked at his hand that was holding her wrist and sneered, "Victor, I'm not fooling around. It's impossible for us to be together."
Victor was furious, "Have you forgotten that you were the one who had been pursuing me all this while and wanted my hand in marriage. So what now? I've accepted you and now you want to run away? Angela, stop dreaming. If you want to escape, I would break your legs."
Angela smiled coldly and replied, "I admit that I've been pursuing you all this time, but I have my own dignity too. I don't want a jerk like you.".
CHAPTER 721
Angela Carter called him a jerk and repeatedly said that she didn't like him. She didn't want him anymore...
As Victor James looked at her babbling mouth, he walked over to her and pressed his hand against her mouth. He didn't want to hear her speak.
As soon as Victor touched Angela, his heart trembled, as if his soul connected deeply with her through that touch. Victor and Angela hadn't spent time together for months. He had spent too many painful and sleepless nights alone from missing her.
Every time he had trouble sleeping, he could only see her virtually, and used her voice over the phone to relieve his pain of missing her, just by a little. But he was a man after all, plus he was also a captain in the Jiangbei Military Region. He knew how to restrain his desire. Therefore, he had to restrain himself over and over again, hold himself together and wait for Angela's return.
When he finally got her back, and just as he was full of joy. Angela dampened his enthusiasm mercilessly. He had missed her for so many months. Yet, she was spreading so much negativity when she met him.
He became furious and could tear her into pieces that instant. He was worried that if he stayed on any longer, he would really tear her into pieces, so he decided to leave her alone for a while.
They needed some time and space to calm down. However, without any explanation, she left as well... As a member of the military, it was more diffucult for him to get a visa whenever he wanted to go abroad.
Yet, when he completed that fussy application and rushed to Santorini as fast as he could, he saw Angela and Aaron Paul together.
Victor bit Angela out of anger. He injured her tongue, and they could taste blood. "Ouch.."
Angela punched him again and again and struggled to pull herself away. But as soon as she tried to do so, Victor would press onto her even tighter, restraining her from moving completely.
His kiss was dominant and fierce. It gradually took Angela's breath away and she stopped struggling.
Angela stopped struggling. Victor let her go, but as soon as he did so, Angela slapped him real hard and said, " Victor, who do you think I am to you?"
It had been over half a month since she discovered that Victor had another woman. Yet, Angela had not shed a tear. She kept telling herself that it was alright. Without Victor, she could still lead a good life. It was not worth her time and effort to fall for a bastard who would have an affair behind her back
However, she knew it was not easy to move on. She had been thinking of marrying Victor since young. After overcoming all the challenges to be in a relationship with him, he had betrayed her. How could she not be heartbroken?
Nonetheless, she decided to keep all this pain to herself and chose to endure it all alone... Perhaps some day in the future, she would be able to completely forget about this man who had hurt her. For now, she couldn't.
She really couldn't forget this man. The scene she saw at Jiangbei that day would appear in her mind over and over again just like a movie scene.
She desperately wished that she could be like before, where she would grab Victor and confront him blatantly. But she did not have the courage.
Many people would think that she was bold and absolutely fearless. She could go anywhere without fear. However, in the face of this man, she was just a coward. She was afraid to hear Victor's answer. If he admitted, there would be no more hope. She wouldn't even be able to live with the truth.
She was the one who hit Victor. Yet, she ended up crying, broken down in tears with absolute sadness. In the eyes of Victor, Angela has always been a very strong and bold girl. He had hardly seen Angela in tears throughout all the years he had known her.
Those tears that were streaming down from Angela's eyes felt like they were poking onto Victor's heart. It was excruciatingly painful!
He didn't care that she slapped him. Instead, he dragged her into his embrace and gently stroked her back. It was rare for him to sound so soft and humble.
"Angela, tell me, what happened?" many unfathomable things This girl would not go crazy for no reason. She had done so many unfathomable things all of a sudden. He was sure something must have happened.
"What happened? How dare you ask me what happened?" Angela was getting even angrier after hearing Victor's question.
"Victor, did you think it was completely fair to betray your woman behind her back?"
"Betray? Who the f*ck has been betraying you behind your back?" Victor was not one who would go by trivial rules, but in terms of a relationship, he had always been loyal.
"You still want to deny it?" If she had known that he wouldn't admit it, she should have taken a video on her phone as a form of evidence so that he couldn't fight back.
The lighting in the room was a bit dim that night, but she could hear the sound very clearly. The sound of the man's heavy breathing and the woman's moaning was a combination that she would never forget. If the man in the room wasn't her man, she would've just sat aside and enjoy the free sex show.
"What denying?" Victor was losing his cool. "I will admit whatever I've done, but I will not be stupid to take the blame for other people."
"Taking the blame for other people?" Angela wiped her tears and yelled, "Victor, are you trying to tell me that it was someone else who sneaked into your house that night and made all those noises."
Victor frowned and asked, "Which night?"
Angela gritted her teeth and said, "The night before I returned to Jiangbei to meet you."
Victor had a good memory. He remembered how he was finally able to meet Angela that day. She said some nonsense as soon as they met so he got angry and left.
After Angela went to New York, he spent all his time in the military region and didn't go home at all. His deputy general had requested to stay at his house for a few days as his fiancee had come to visit him all the way from her hometown. It would've been easier and more convenient for them to stay outside the military region.
The house was empty anyway. So without any hesitation, Victor allowed them to stay at his house. Who would have thought that this little bastard would create such a ruckus for him, causing a lot of misunderstanding between Angela and him.
As he finally understood the root of the issue, Victor sighed. "That was not me.
"Victor, are you still a man?" How could Angela trust his words? Talk was cheap.
"Angela, can you please trust me?" Victor raised his volume again.
"I haven't touched any other women all these years. If I were still having sex with other women when I'm with you, wouldn't I be too greedy?".
CHAPTER 722
As Victor roared, Angela muttered, "Who would know if you were really too greedy or you couldn't resist the temptation of women?"
Victor refuted, "Because I like you very much. Since you have become an adult, I have been thinking about you day and night and wanted you to be my woman. But there were many reasons that prevented me from approaching you, and I was afraid that I would hurt you."
Victor never intended to tell Angela what he just said, but he couldn't predict what the little girl would do if he didn't say it now.
"Are you serious about this, Victor?" Angela had always thought that it was her own wishful thinking. She was the one who had pestered Victor so much that he finally decided to become her boyfriend because he was annoyed.
She was a confident person, but she did not know if Victor really had a place for her in his heart. Therefore, as soon as Victor expressed his thoughts and feelings, Angela was very surprised. She even thought that she was hallucinating.
Victor glared at her fiercely and didn't say a word. He tried his best to persuade Angela. If Angela was still doubting his loyalty, he would just tie her up and bring her back to Jiangbei. He would prove his loyalty to her regardless.
"Victor, are you sure you don't have another woman?"
Although Victor did not clarify that yet, Angela really liked him. Hence, as long as he said he didn't have another woman, she was willing to believe him.
Some people had said that if a man was willing to deceive you, then that meant that he still cared about you and was willing to continue the relationship with you.
Angela always acted aggressively and impulsively. But when she was with Victor, she would still have a lot of uncertainty and insecurities deep down although she looked tough on the outside.
"Apart from you, I have never had another woman." Victor put on his serious look.
With Victor's assurance, the haze in Angela's heart finally disappeared that instant. She came close to his face and said complacently, "Victor, you said you never had any other women before. So how could you be so skillful the fist time we did it?"
Angela had always thought that Victor must have dated others before her. After all, when they got together, he was already more than 30 years old. If a man was still a virgin at that age, then there must be some problems with him!
"Angela!" Victor yelled out.
Before they got together, this bitch would look for porn videos from time to time and asked him to watch with her. They even discussed the sex positions. The more they watched, and the more they discussed, the more experience they had.
Though, it was quite a pity he had to take cold showers and run naked on the playground in the winters to calm himself down. Angela's emotions would always come and go really quickly.
As soon as she believed what Victor said, she rushed over to wrap her arms around Victor and announced arrogantly, "Well, for the sake of your poor situation, I decided to continue being with you. If I don't like you, no one will ever want you in this life. So, you ought to remember how kind I am to you."
Angela acted proud and arrogant as she said so, and that was exactly what Victor liked about her. This was the Angela that he grew up with.
He rubbed her head and did not fight back. He would like for her to annoy him all day and call him non-stop. In the past 2 weeks, she had turned a blind eye to him. He felt so empty. He knew he lacked Angela's presence in his life.
"Victor, is it painful?" Angela touched Victor's face.
She had hit him too hard earlier, so there were some scars and bruises on his face. If she had known earlier that he did not cheat on her, she wouldn't have hit him so hard. She didn't enjoy hurting him either.
"Why don't you let me slap you so you could feel it too?" This little girl was looking for trouble.
"Well, then hit me!" Angela put her face in front of him and stuck out her tongue complacently. "If you want to."
As she just learnt that Victor had liked her for a long time too, and also waited to get together with her, she was incredibly proud and satisfied! If someone were to give her a pair of wings now, her pride would fly her to the sky.
Being secretly adored by a man, and the fact that he liked her for so many years, the feeling was indescribable. She had always envied her sister-in-law who was so loved, spoiled, and cared for by her cold brother.
From now on, she didn't need to envy her anymore, because Victor would also spoil her like how her cold brother spoiled Jane.
"Angela, stop being so proud." Victor was embarrassed.
If he had known that this girl would be this proud so easily, he wouldn' t have told her. She would definitely be gloating a lot from now on.
"Angela, since you guys are back together, why don't you guys register for marriage?"
As soon as Mother Carter, who had been eavesdropping in the next room, heard that they had reconciled, she came by immediately to show her concern about their future.
Angela had a bad temper and would mention about breaking up in future if she wanted to, so it would just be better for them to get married and be locked to each other.
"Mom, I'm still young. I'm not in a hurry." Angela looked at Victor to see what he would reply.
If Victor was sensible enough, he should have said that he was not young anymore. He was also the only son of the James family, he should get married soon to ensure the continuation of his family tree. However, victor did not reply as Angela had expected.
Instead, he replied calmly, "Your son just got married and they're about to go on a honeymoon soon. You'll be busy taking care of your grandchildren. So, we can wait." Victor's explanation was clearly an excuse to not get married.
Angela gritted her teeth and said, "Victor, do you have some other woman?"
Victor refuted angrily, "Angela, what's in your head?"
So those two started to quarrel again. No one was willing to admit defeat. Mother Carter didn't want to help either of them, so she just covered her ears and walked away. It was an 'out of sight out of mind' situation for her.
As soon as Mother Carter left, the argument between Angela and Victor turned into a heated session on making up. This was their way to tell each other how much they've missed each other and how much they couldn't leave each other.
"Are you sure you don't want to marry me, Victor?" Angela would ask from time to time.
"I thought you were the one who didn't want to marry me."
"Since when did I say that I did not want to marry you?" Angela wanted to kick this man so hard. How could he be so stupid?
"You just said that."
In Victor's opinion, Angela was much younger than him. Besides, she was a charming girl. It seemed a little unfair for her to marry him when she was still young, so he did not want to pressure her.
When he saw Angela's hesitation, Victor wanted to give her freedom. After all, he liked her because he wanted to see her happy and joyful forever.
Angela didn't know what to say. In fact, the marriage registration was just for formality. As long as both of them liked each other a lot, it didn't matter if they got their marriage certificate or not..
