Trapped with a Doctor
Chapter 209 I'm not A Rabbit

Daisy paused and glanced at Angela. "I know it's a masquerade ball," she said.

Angela was still indulging in the sweetness of Arvin's considerate behaviour. But when she heard him ask the question to her mother, she immediately had a bad feeling about it. She quickly reacted and showed her loyalty to Arvin, "I just went there for fun. I swear, I had no other intentions!"

Arvin smiled at her and said, "Eat the noodles. Mom's noodles are delicious."

He called Daisy "mom" in a way even more intimate than Angela ever did, as if he was Daisy's biological son.

Angela had guessed Arvin's intention, so she didn't eat the noodles, but moved the bowl back to Arvin, saying, "Please eat it. My mom's noodles are indeed very delicious!"

She really went there for fun. Was he bothered by it?

Daisy was confused at their interaction and asked, "What's going on between you two?"

Arvin picked up a slice of chicken and fed it to Angela, stopping her from speaking. Then he said, "Mom, the masquerade ball tonight is for single women and men, but Angela went to attend it. Does she even love me?"

"What? Angela! You're already married. How could you attend a ball for matchmaking?" scolded Daisy.

"..." He didn't say the words 'matchmaking'.

Angela was speechless, as well.

Arvin Gu! He didn't need to teach her a lesson, especially when Daisy was in front of them.

Angela was discontent with her mother. She was her own daughter. Why couldn't she justify her shortcomings like Arvin did?

"I really just went there to have some fun." To banish their doubts, Angela had to repeat her words again. She almost wanted to swear to a god.

Arvin gripped her hand, and while wearing a seemingly affectionate look, he said, "Angela, if you're unhappy with me, please do tell me. I will correct my mistakes. Please don't abandon your new husband. Okay?"

... Arvin was really... a sly fox!

Arvin was a cold and arrogant man in most people's eyes. Daisy thought so, too! But now, this arrogant man treated her daughter so tenderly, which made Daisy completely believe that it was all Angela's fault. She scolded her daughter again, "Angela! Are you even aware that you've just married? Look, Arvin behaves so well and doesn't join this kind of activity. You're a woman. Don't you know the basic principles..." Daisy started her sermon. Angela felt her head was pounding. When her bowl of noodles was placed on the table, she ate it as quickly as possible. After finishing it, she dragged Arvin by his hand and said, "Okay, Mom. Stop it! We need to go to bed!"

But, wait! She suddenly felt something on Arvin's hand.

It seemed to be... bite marks.

She immediately looked at Arvin's left hand and saw that they were really bite marks.

It looked like it was a woman's bite...

'A woman's bite...

It must be Rosa Yin!' thought Angela.

She felt distressed all of a sudden. Arvin sensed that something was wrong with her. Perplexed, he looked at her raging eyes and then rested his eyes on where she was staring at. Instantly, he understood the situation. Oh, how terrible!

He immediately told Daisy, "Mom, I was only joking. Angela won't do anything wrong to me. I'm not worried. I trust her very much! Angela..."

But Angela gritted her teeth, shook away Arvin's hand, and ran upstairs.

Arvin hastily followed, saying, "Mom, Angela is getting angry. I have to go and coax her now."

Daisy said, "Hey! What do you mean? She was the one who attended the singles' party. Isn't it her fault? Why does she have the nerve to get angry?" Not knowing the real reason, Daisy looked toward the staircase and waved at Arvin, saying, "Okay, go, go. Arvin, please don't mind her. She's a peculiar young woman!"

Arvin calmly nodded, "Yes, mom. I don't mind at all!"

On the second floor

Angela slammed the door. Arvin knocked on it and demanded, "Open the door. Listen to my explanation."

"No! No way! I won't listen!" She wouldn't listen to any of his explanations. She remembered the saying, "Believe that there are ghosts in this world, more than believing in a man's words." "Babe, please open the door!" said Arvin.

"I'm not a rabbit! Go away!"

Her answer dumbfounded Arvin, but he then realized it and burst into laughter.

There was a nursery rhyme, "Little bunny, open the door..."

(TN: This nursery rhyme teaches kids not to open the door for the strangers, when they are alone at home.)

Since it was useless to be gentle in a situation like this, Arvin had to act tough. He threatened, "Angela, if you don't open the door, I'll break it." Of course, he just wanted to frighten her. After a couple of minutes, the door was still not opened. Arvin had to go downstairs.

Three minutes later Arvin opened Angela's door with a spare key.

Immediately, a pillow was thrown toward him. "Get out! Get out!" yelled Angela. Arvin locked the door and caught the pillow. Then, he randomly threw it on the bed.

Regardless of her struggling, he held the woman who was sitting on the bed into his arms and said, "We are even, okay?"

He wouldn't blame her for attending the ball anymore, and he hoped that she would forget about the bite marks on his hand.

But he had underestimated a woman's anger caused by jealousy. Things were not that simple.

Angela got rid of his hands and confronted, "Tell me, was it Rosa Yin or Nita Zhen? Or anyone from your fan club?"

... Fan club? Did she think that he always attracted a lot of women?

"It's Rosa. She had a sudden heart attack..." Arvin then told her what had happened that day.

Hearing the whole story, Angela didn't cool down, but instead, she got even more furious. She asked, "So the fact is that you haven't sold the house in Jianqiao Garden, and now that Rosa is back, you are going to let her live there again, right?"

"No, no, the buyer will be back from his trip tomorrow. We'll have the transaction done then," said Arvin.

"If Rosa hears that you will sell the house, resulting in her heart attack again, what will you do?" Angela didn't let him off easily and continued to ask.

Arvin laughed and smoothened her hair, saying, "It won't happen. It's just a house. It's not that serious."

Angela slapped his hand away and sternly warned him, "Don't touch me!"

"..." She was wearing a stern, composed, and calm look on her face now.

It seemed that it was the first time that Arvin had seen her like this.

"She still loves you! She wants you back! Otherwise, she wouldn't have gone to Jianqiao Garden!" Women were more sensitive about love.

Arvin knew Rosa's feelings for him. He didn't try to hide it from Angela, yet he didn't want upset her by telling her the whole thing, so he said, "I have nothing to do with whomever she loves. You are the only one I love!"

"Huh! You're her fiancé. Of course, you have everything to do with her! And, you are the director of a hospital! You have good social abilities. You know how to speak to different people. Maybe you're making Rosa hope for something more!" Unlike him, Angela thought of herself as stupid and incapable of proper communication.

Arvin wasn't annoyed by Angela's fuss, but instead, he patiently coaxed her, "Remember, from now on, I have only one identity, in front of you and everyone else. I am your husband. Understand? But if you wish, I will be more than happy to have one more identity."

"One more identity? What's that?"

"Your child's father!" Finishing his words, Arvin took her hand and started to feel her pulse. ☐☐☐
