Cosset You Forever
Chapter 1690 I Want Some Instant Noodles

"What?" Martha Ji was perplexed. 'Why did he suddenly bring that up?'

She had only known a little about it as she remembered that Arvin had posted on the Internet to show his love for Angela. "Yes, Arvin loves Angela very much," Aron stressed the point again, "enough for him to willingly be a live-in son-in-law."

'So what?' Martha was still confused. She wondered how she had anything to do with it.

She assumed that Aron was just casually talking about it, so she replied casually, "Well, I see. That's the true love which every woman expects. Women want men who will love them like that." 'True love?' Aron squinted at her and said, "Do you mean to say that you also want true love?"

Aron was over thirty years old, and he wasn't in the age of indulging in romance anymore.

Martha's face had suddenly become stiff, as she came back to her senses where she had to face the reality. The truth was that she married Aron because it was her stepmother's wish, for the company's benefit. So how could she talk about the true love with Aron?

Although she was just a few years past twenty and was still longing for true love, the reality of it all was very harsh to her.

Recently Angela had been staying at home a lot. She didn't risk going to work in the lab ever since she got pregnant. Sometimes she would go shopping with her friends, but on most days, she would just stay at home.

As she stayed idly at home, she started to feel bored. This led to her thinking all kinds of nonsense and illogical thoughts. One night at two o'clock, a figure got out of a room and pushed open the door to the next room.

The figure walked to the bedside without making any sound.

The man in bed had just started to fall asleep when he felt someone looking at him.

Arvin opened his eyes and was surprised by what he had seen in front of him.

Standing in the dark was a person with long, messy hair staring at him.

He sat up from bed and was about to defend himself when he realised who it was.

He closed his eyes with relief, calmed himself down and turned on the light. "Honey?" he said.

Imagine that a woman with long, dishevelled hair suddenly appeared at your bedside, staring at you from the dark.

Even as a man, Arvin was really frightened then.

With no expression on her face, Angela looked at Arvin and said, "I'm hungry."

She had spent the whole day sleeping and so she couldn't sleep at night. She had been playing games on her phone all night. She got hungry, but she didn't dare to go downstairs by herself. Arvin pinched between his eyebrows, looked at her and asked gently, "What do you want to eat?"

"I want some instant noodles."

'What? Instant noodles?'

Angela wasn't even allowed to have instant noodles before her pregnancy, let alone now.

Arvin wanted to refuse but, before he even opened his mouth, Angela seemed to have understood what he wanted to say.

She sat on his bed and started to cry. Arvin was confused at what was going on and asked her, "Why are you crying? Please don't cry."

Angela ignored him and carried on crying.

As a doctor, Arvin understood that during pregnancy, the hormone levels in a pregnant woman's body would change, resulting in their sensitive emotional mood swings.

That was the case for Angela, so he tried to coax her in many ways. Half an hour later, Arvin had no choice but to concede and said, "Okay, okay, instant noodles."

Instantly, Angela stopped crying, and looked at Arvin with her watery eyes.

They didn't have any instant noodles in the house, so Arvin got out of bed, carried Angela and placed her on his bed and said, "Lie down here first. I am going out to get some." Arvin changed his clothes and left the bedroom. This made Angela's heart melt.

Arvin deliberately drove his car slowly to waste time, so as he had expected, when he came back with the instant noodles, Angela had already fallen asleep.

He hid the noodles and for the first time in months, he could finally hold his wife in bed.

But he still couldn't sleep, as he wanted to savour the moment of holding his wife in his arms for the whole night.

The next morning, after Angela woke up, funnily enough, she didn't ask about the instant noodles anymore. Anyway, it was good that she didn't ask for it.

Arvin of course kept it to himself, as if nothing had ever happened.

At noon, one of Arvin's bodyguards had informed him that Fabian Li had come to C Country and was on a date with Angela in a restaurant.

He immediately hurried to the restaurant. When he arrived there, the waiter had just started to serve the dishes. Disregarding the surprised looks on their faces, Arvin sat next to Angela and asked the waiter to serve one more set of meal for him.

He then looked at Fabian and apologized in a peaceful voice, "Mr. Li, I am sorry. I am late because I was too busy the whole morning. Please feel free to order any food you like. It's our treat."

Fabian's face darkened with displeasure. It was supposed to be his date with Angela, but Arvin was intruding in a way as if he was already expected to be there.

Angela was appalled by Arvin's shameless behaviour. He nonchalantly took her glass of water and drank from it. She wanted to stop him, "Arvin..."

But Arvin stopped her from saying anything more as he looked at her eyes adoringly and said, "Honey, Mr. Li has flown a long way to come here. I am arranging for someone to keep him company and take him sight-seeing. Please go back home and rest after lunch."

Angela and Fabian had just met with each other and before they could even have a proper conversation, Arvin had arrived, uninvited and gotting in their way.

He rightfully deserved the name 'Mr. Jealousy'!

But Angela paid no heed to him and said, "No. I am talking to Fabian about our trip next month. I know you are busy with your work, so you can leave now."

'Your trip? Together with Fabian?' Arvin got furious. Was Fabian declaring a war against him?

Fabian glanced at Angela, while he shook his glass of red wine in his hand. He then looked at Arvin, smiled, and said, "Mr. Gu, Angela and I are going to try and develop our relationship. You see, Angela is quite happy with me. If it is convenient for you, please sign your name on the Divorce Agreement. What do you think?"

'How dare you intervene in my marriage?' thought Arvin angrily. He snapped at him coldly, "I don't think my wife would be happy with you. And let me tell you this, I will never sign my name on that paper! And if I were to have a second life, I still wouldn't sign my name on it. You'd better give up on Angela!"

Angela gritted her teeth and cut the beef steak forcibly, as if she was releasing her anger on Arvin, and said, "Arvin, just tell me, what do I need to do to make you sign your name on that paper?"

Arvin glanced at her, took the fork and knife from her hands, and moved her dish of beef steak to his side. He sliced the beef steak for her and said, "I know you tend to overthink about things because you are pregnant. Did I ever say that we would get a divorce?"

Fabian stopped slicing his beef steak as he looked at Arvin slicing the beef steak for Angela.

Then, he noticed Angela's reaction to Arvin. They both looked so natural as if it was normal for Arvin to help Angela slice the beef steak.

From what he could see, Fabian realized that Arvin really treated Angela with special care.

He was just lucky he had the chance to save Angela's life that day from the fire; he wouldn't have had the chance to approach Angela right now.☐☐☐------------
