Trapped with a Doctor
Chapter 205 Who Am I to Love Him

"How long will you be staying there?"

"It depends. I am thinking of staying for a few days. I miss my parents." Angela thought of the conversation she had with her parents yesterday. They complained about never seeing her. It was true. It had been a long time since she last visited them, which made her feel guilty.

"Okay. Remember to call me when you plan to come back." Arvin needed to know so he can go and pick her up.

"I will," Angela replied in obedience. Then, she remembered another thing she had been meaning to ask, "Why did you give my family so much money? It's too much for a betrothal gift."

"Is it?" Arvin obviously didn't think so.

"..." Even though she knew Arvin was rich, Angela didn't know he was crazy rich. "It's not?"

"No. I also have some real estate and stocks to give you. I'll have them sorted out and transferred to you in a couple of weeks."

'Oh my god!' Angela couldn't believe what she was hearing. With one hand pressed against her thudding heart, she hurriedly refused, "Please don't, Big Wing. You've already given me too much. Way too much!" Things turned out so differently from what Angela had expected. She was hoping that maybe she could return some of the money Arvin had given her, but now it seemed that he only wanted her to have more!

Arvin didn't reply and changed the subject. "How do you plan to tell our father that we are not moving to C Country?"

Angela knew he meant her father, his father-in-law. 'Yes, we are married now. It's so nice to hear him say that.' Angela couldn't help but break into a smile.

However, the thought of Arvin's reaction to the proposal and the way he pinned her on the bed under him last night made her shiver. The smile on her face went away, and she slowly replied, "Well, I'll say that... I am very happy here in J City, so it really isn't necessary to move to C Country. We'll visit them often, so it won't be any different."

There was no way she would mention marrying into her family in front of Arvin again, especially now that she knew he had no intention of doing so.

"Now, that's my girl. Make sure that I don't hear this thing again, or you and I will be needing a serious talk!"

"No, you won't! I will talk him out of this idea. I promise!" Angela had good reasons to do that, at least Arvin would go easier on her in their sex life if she succeeded. Pleased with her answer, Arvin nodded and said, "Okay, have a good rest, and call me when you get home."

"I will. Don't work too hard, Arvin." She worried about him.

"Okay."

...

At a junkyard full of scrapped cars in J City

Two resounding slaps broke the silence of the deserted place. Rosa, a fragile woman, took the slaps without saying a word. There was a baby in her arms she had to protect.

"Do you know that your return had made no impact on Arvin at all? You are his fiancée for God's sake. He still went to get the marriage certificate with that bitch! They are married now!" Nita's face distorted with anger as she mentioned Angela.

Accepting the pain from the slaps, Rosa replied carelessly as she rocked the baby in her arms, "He loves her. There is nothing I can do about it. I did stall him for a while the day I went back, but that's all I could do. He left me to look for Angela anyway."

When Rosa suddenly turned up in front of Arvin and Angela, Angela freaked out at the thought that Arvin might still have feelings for Rosa, so she ran away. Feeling annoyed by her deliberate move to hurt Angela, Arvin left Rosa without hesitation and chased after Angela.

"What's the point of keeping you around?" At the moment, Nita wanted Rosa dead.

She felt compelled to do so that she grabbed a surgical instrument that had been used to rescue Rosa and tried to stab her.

"Stop it!" A man who had been sitting silently aside finally opened his mouth.

The instrument froze, at a distance barely a few centimeters from Rosa.

Overtaken by the rage, Nita threw the instrument against the wall and cursed, "Damn it!"

The sudden thud and the angry growl startled the baby, who burst out crying.

Irritated even more by the noise, Nita snapped at Rosa, "Shut it up!"

The man rose from his chair and took the crying baby from Rosa's arms. "How about we stop wasting time whining and bitching around and start thinking about what we could do with Arvin's investigations? Not only you, but I am also on his suspect list!"

"What?" Nita couldn't believe what the man was saying.

"You heard me. Arvin has hired a new assistant, Malik, and is trusting him with more and more work. Also, he is having Kent do investigations on me and you, Nita." Adam gave a cold glance at the woman opposite him. He had been in this dark secret with Nita the whole time.

"How come Arvin is suddenly starting to suspect me? That can't be! He never doubted me, not once over the past seven years!" Indeed, Arvin had never doubted Nita in the past, nor had he doubted Adam.

Without even raising his head, Adam blurted out, "It's all because of you. What you did to Angela was too obvious. That's why Arvin had you investigated. I was dragged down because you keep asking me to help you with all your plans. Things kept going wrong until Arvin got a whiff of who I was. So, Nita, you shouldn't be blaming Rosa. If we would someday be taken down by Arvin, it would be all because of you!"

"No. I don't believe it! That's not true!" Nita shook her head in disbelief. "He must never replace out about this!" If Arvin did replace out, it would mean that all the work she had put into this for the past seven years would be for nothing.

Passing the baby that had calmed down to Rosa, Adam picked out a bottle of liquid from the medicine kit and applied it to Rosa's swollen face.

She didn't refuse and just stood there with her eyes fixed on the child.

"Rosa, do you still love Arvin, even now that he is married?" Adam asked softly.

As if she didn't hear it, Rosa kept her eyes on the baby and didn't say anything for a while. Just as Adam was becoming impatient, she said, "Who am I to love him?"

She gave herself to Adam and had a baby with him. With what she had left of herself, she didn't expect to get back with Arvin, who was flawless to her.

Ready for whatever reaction she was about to get from Adam, Rosa didn't utter another word.

After hearing Nita's plan, she felt guilty about trying to hurt Angela, the most innocent person in the whole thing.

At Angela and her parents' house

After she had come back to C Country, Angela either spent her time at Chengyang Private Hospital with Chuck or went to practice taekwondo with Daisy. Sometimes, she stayed at home to help babysit her two little nephews.

Whatever she did during the day, there would always be a long phone call with Arvin at night.

Days passed before Chuck talked to her daughter and urged her to go back to J City.

"Your mum and I had thought about it. It is inappropriate for us to keep you two newlyweds apart. It's time for you to pack and return to your husband." Angela had been dying to hear it from her dad. 'Finally, it came to you,' she thought.

But she didn't say anything.

Though she missed Arvin, Angela also wanted to stay longer at home, to be with her parents, her brother and sister-in-law, and her two little nephews. At the Jianqiao Garden

Rosa was playing the zither when Arvin arrived. Seeing her from behind, Arvin found her back elegant and thin.

The one she was playing was his favorite tune, back when they were together.

Whoever saw her play the zither would be convinced that she was born to be a zither player.

At that moment, even though she hadn't touched a string for seven years, her skills hadn't faded.

It was after she finished the piece when she finally noticed someone standing behind her. Slowly, she stood up from the chair.

Joy filled her eyes instantly when she saw that Arvin was there, "Hi, Arvin."

Her voice and her appearance were still the same as before.

Strangely, the sight of Rosa reminded Arvin of Angela.

Angela was the opposite of Rosa. Every time she saw Arvin, she would always run happily into his arms and share with him her day's anecdotes or ideas. She liked calling him by the nickname - Big Wing. And Arvin would let her carry on with Big Wing this and Big Wing that most of the time. He enjoyed it.

As he was reflecting, he found himself more attracted to Angela, who was full of energy and enthusiasm. "Hi," replied Arvin distantly. ☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
