Chapter 16 A Family Banquet 2
Seeing her, James stiffened. Then, he looked at her in astonishment, “Esther, why are you here?”
“James, don’t be rude to your aunt!” Amanda followed and slapped James’ head.
“You … you’re my aunt?” James couldn’t even speak clearly, “Terence’s new wife?”
Esther nodded and smiled. “That’s right, I’m Terence’s wife and your aunt. What’s wrong with it?”
James was so shocked that he rounded his eyes wide open. He repeatedly examined Esther in disbelief, and then still shook his head. “This is impossible….”
Since James lost his composure, Amanda knocked him on the waist with her elbow and whispered, “Alright, it’s enough. Hurry up and sit next to your grandpa.”
Amanda didn’t expect him to react so strongly. If she had known it earlier, she would have informed him, so he wouldn’t have forgotten himself in front of everyone.
James was too shocked and puzzled at this moment. He didn’t care if he had done anything embarrassing, nor did he care about the reactions of the people around him. He grabbed Esther’s wrist and strode out.
Esther did not expect him to suddenly do this. She was dragged so hard that she almost fell to the ground. Having finally managed to keep balance, she said, “James, what are you doing? Let go of me!”
Everyone was watching. Esther didn’t want to lose her manners in front of the Gibsons because of his impulse.
However, James did not release his grip. He pulled her out of the private room until he got to the entrance of the hotel. He stared at Esther angrily and asked, “Esther, what do you want? Why do you become Uncle Terence’s wife?”
James only knew that Terence was coming back and he was going to get married. But he had never asked who Terence would marry. To his surprise, it would be Esther. This was ridiculous!
“Does this have anything to do with you?” Esther mocked as she rubbed her painful wrist.
Her attitude enraged James. “Of course I do. I am your boyfriend, and Terence is my uncle!”
“So what? You’re my boyfriend, and Anne is my sister. Haven’t you carried on with her? You hugged her in the car, and played forbidden games at the Gibson’s.” Esther retorted without showing any fear.
James, who blushed with anger, was instantly stunned. He looked at her in surprise. Obviously, he did not expect Esther to know about his relationship with Anne.
“You….” James got stuck, and his tone eased a lot.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
“That’s right. I saw it all.”
“Esther, I….” James called her guiltily and took a step forward, intending to grab her hand.
