Chapter 374 How Could James Do Something So Lame?


    James would usually not be on intimate terms with women in public and was always cold towards


    others. It was rare for him to do that and people started looking.


    Ang felt like her face was getting hot and she wanted to smack his hand away. Suddenly, he stood


    up and put his hands on her face. Then, he kissed her on the lips.


    She could see her reflection in his eyes. Ang tensed up and her mind went nk.


    Something fell onto the ground and made a crisp sound.


    The sound helped Ang snap back into reality. She bit down her teeth, not letting him in and pushed


    him a few times on the chest with moderate strength.


    James smiled and let her go, seeing how red she turned, “You still don’t want to call me your husband?


    How about if I call you my wife?”


    “…fine. Sit down, everyone’s looking.” Ang lowered her head and frowned, she pinched his arm


    lightly.


    Maybe she didn’t realize, but what she did was rather flirtatious.


    James sat down. He nced to the side and smile when he saw Danis. Danis was telling a waiter to go


    clean up the broken te on the floor.


    Ang saw what happened. She grimaced and quickly looked away. She didn’t see Danis’ expression.

    After a while, the waiter served the steaks, desserts and red wine that they ordered.


    “There’s also some rose-voured cake here, try some.” James gave Ang some of the cake.


    Why did James put the desserts on her te before they even started eating the main dishes? Ang


    didn’t really like to eat sweets, but she still grabbed the cake.


    Halfway eating, she felt something hard in her mouth.


    It couldn’t be… how could James do something some?


    Ang nced at him, and she found a ring in the cake.


    “Are you surprised?” James took the ring from her hand and put it on her finger.


    Ang was speechless.


    “James, you didn’t kneel and ask if I would marry you. There are no flowers, no confession…” Ang


    didn’t care about the form of the proposal, but she was a bit disappointed at how crude it was.


    James lowered his head and kissed her on the hand, “Ask about what? Who else would you marry if it


    wasn’t me?”


    That was true. But Ang was still disappointed.


    She wanted to say something but she held herself back. She didn’t say anything in the end.


    The ring was on her finger now and she was pregnant. Could she say no? But… she felt cheated.


    James looked at her expression and couldn’t help butugh.


    He pinched her face and looked at her lovingly, “Grandfather is still here and everyone is looking at us.


    I cannot do somethingvish. Just put on the ring first, take it as if I reserved you. I’ll promise you a


    grand proposalter on, okay?”


    He didn’t n to propose to her so suddenly. But what happened in the morning made him anxious.


    He didn’t pay attention briefly and something happened without him knowing. He could’ve lost her back


    then!


    …


    At Star Restaurant.


    The Smith family, Charles and Timothy were there.


    “Cheers!” Grandpa Smith raised his ss and cheered the people. He was in a good mood and he


    bottomed up the ss. He then showed the people his empty ss.


    Everyone praised that he was old but still vigorous.


    Timothy smiled shyly and praised him with everyone else, “Grandpa Smith, not even the younger


    people can drink like you. Cheers to you!”


    She had higher seniority and hence she sat together with Charles and Grandpa Smith. She was all


    over Grandpa Smith.


    Everyone else had an ufortable look on their face, but because of Charles, they didn’t say


    anything.


    Jessica looked obviously unhappy, but she quickly fixed her expression.


    She tolerated this idiotic woman’s behaviour for a long time. But after today, she didn’t need to


    anymore!


    Grandpa Smith didn’t push her away, he gulped the alcohol that Timothy gave him. He raised his ss


    and was facing Jessica, “Jessica, have one with me. You did well this time around!”


    “You’re making me embarrassed,” said Jessica as she smiled and clinked her ss with his.


    Charles wasn’t as happy as them, “We have some of the Chante Group’s shares and projects on our


    hand. We should celebrate our sess, but Brother Smith, something just felt wrong. I think we


    shouldn’t put our guard down.”


    “Me and grandpa Smith already thought about what you are thinking right now. I’ve looked into every


    single thing rted to this business thoroughly. Everything is arranged, nothing will go wrong. You can


    rx,” said Jessica gently.


    Grandpa Smith also thought that Charles was being overly worried, “We even thought about who to sell


    the shares to. There wouldn’t be any problem! Charles, I’m more experienced in this matter than you.


    Don’t you worry!”


    “Yes, Charles. You are better than us in calligraphy, but to be honest, you cannotpare to Grandpa


    Smith when ites to business.” Jessica tried tofort Charles.


    Charles didn’t reply, but Timothy wasn’t happy, “My husband is only trying to care for you guys, watch


    what you’re saying!”


    It was Grandpa Smith’s first time being pointed and yelled at like that. He banged the ss on the


    table, his face turned dark.


    “Dear, he yelled at me!” Timothyined to Charles coquettishly.


    Charlesforted her and said to Grandpa Smith, “Timothyes from a poor family. She wasn’t


    really educated growing up. I hope you don’t mind what she said.”


    Things only calmed down after he said sorry repeatedly for a while.


    Jessica witnessed the scene and didn’t feel too good.


    When something happened to her, Charles never protected her. But now, he was protecting a


    prostitute, a dirty woman!


    While Grandpa Smith was in a good mood, Jessica said gently, “Grandpa, if this seeded, I would


    make amends for my faults from back then. Can you let me go back to work in thepany?”


    Grandpa Smith didn’t answer immediately, instead, he asked, “Where’s Danis? Why isn’t he here?”


    “I made him not toe. He still feels sorry towards Ang, and it seems like he has not let her go. I’m


    afraid that he would tell Ang about this after finding out about our ns. If so, then everything we did


    will go down the drain.”


    Jessica bit her lips, “Even if you don’t agree with my decision, I will still do the same to ensure that our


    n works perfectly.”


    “You’re not wrong!” said Grandpa Smith, “How did the Smith family get someone so one-track-


    minded?”


    Adeline wanted to say something for her son, but Edward stopped her.


    “I wanted you to stay home for a bit because I wanted you to reflect on what you did wrong. I think it’s


    enough reflection for you. Come back to the office and continue your position as the finance manager


    after we sell out the Chante Group’s share,” said Grandpa Smith. Jessica had a euphoric expression in


    her eyes upon hearing him, “Thank you, Grandpa Smith!”


    She clinked her ss and drank it with Grandpa Smith. She then poured another and said to Charles,


    “Charles, I thought about it. You were only saying those things for my sake. I was possessed by bad


    thoughts, that’s why I fought with you. I hope you will forgive me!”


    “Yes.” Charles felt content hearing what she said. He raised his ss and clinked with hers. He copied


    what Grandpa Smith did and finished the drink in one gulp.


    But the alcohol tasted off.


    He just wanted to ask how high the alcohol content was. He then felt light-headed and face nted


    onto the table.
