Chapter 277 Grape Flavored Red Grapes
"I want to have some fresh American red grapes!" Angela said.
"No problem!" said Arvin. He could arrange for his private plane to go there and get some for Angela.
Angela put on a foxy smile and said, "I want to eat American red grapes, grape flavored. Mr. Gu, do you think you can satisfy your baby's needs?" Then, Angela rubbed her hands slightly over her stomach. "Grape flavored red grapes? Angela, would you also like to try some banana flavored apples?" said Sven. He wondered what Angela's real intentions were.
With a sneer, Angela gazed at Arvin who didn't even react, "Well, Mr. Gu, can you do it? If you can't..." Then you should go away.'
Before Angela could finish talking, Arvin nodded affirmatively and said, "Wait for a second. I'll ask my people to buy them right now."
Sven and his sister looked at Arvin with astonishment as they wondered where he was going to replace the grape flavored red grapes.
The next morning, Angela was awakened by Arvin to eat breakfast, which was what Arvin had been doing recently.
Angela had slept a lot since she was pregnant. There were so many times when Arvin had to wake her, pull her up from bed, and bring her downstairs to have breakfast.
As her parents saw Arvin pamper Angela unconditionally, they gradually started to forgive Arvin for saving Rosa first instead of their daughter.
Today's breakfast was Chinese style breakfast made by a retired cook who was invited by Arvin. There were steaming dumplings with filling soup, shrimp dumplings, vegetable porridge with Chinese yam, corn and yam water chestnut cakes, vegetable crepes and egg rolls.
It all looked fabulously delicious.
Arvin had invited different kinds of chefs from time to time. Sven often brought his two sons to come over and have the meals with them.
Angela couldn't resist all the delicious food Arvin had prepared so she ate them all.
Unfortunately, she'd often vomit what she had eaten.
Seeing Angela throw up all day because of the pregnancy made Arvin feel terribly sorry for her and so he treated her like a precious gem. The whole family was around to serve her.
Later, Lily had people send some medicines to help with the pregnancy nausea. Every time Angela wanted to throw up, she would take a whiff of the medicine and the symptoms would subside. Eventually, after she went through the nausea stage, Angela's appetite had improved a lot. Sometimes, she ate more than Arvin did.
Under Arvin's loving care and pampering, Angela's face and body had regained some weight. Arvin didn't mind her weight gain at all, instead, he liked the chubby version of Angela even more. Sometimes, when she was not paying attention, Arvin would hold her round, soft body, which would make him feel as if he were in heaven.
After breakfast, Angela wiped her mouth clean. Arvin stood up and walked towards the kitchen.
When he came out of the kitchen, he was holding a glass bowl, in which a cluster of red grapes was soaked in some kind of a violet colored liquid.
Arvin looked at Angela with a smile, "The red grapes had just been brought back from America by air. I had kept them in fresh grape juice since they arrived. Try some. They're grape flavored." So, these were the grape flavored red grapes.
Angela's parents were speechless.
So was Angela.
Arvin took a spoon, picked a red grape and brought it close to Angela's mouth.
Angela opened her mouth and ate the red grape.
"Em... Em... It's not bad."
Angela went to the living room with the glass bowl in her hands, sat on the sofa and ate all the red grapes.
After Chuck and Arvin went out to work, Daisy asked her daughter, "Tell me. What do they taste like, grape flavored red grapes? What's the difference? They are both grapes. What were you thinking? Just fiddling around with Arvin?"
Her words had upset Angela because she just suddenly wanted some grape flavored red grapes. She didn't think Arvin would actually make such an effort to impress her. "Mom, can you please try to send him back to J City," said Angela. Arvin living there with her for so long had almost made him a live-in son-in-law. Arvin never wanted to be a live-in son-in-law.
"I'm not blaming you but I have seen Arvin's behavior these past few days. For the sake of your baby, can't you just go back with Arvin? Drop the idea of getting a divorce. Angela, it would do you and the baby no good if you got a divorce. Arvin didn't really cheat on you, he just made a little mistake. Also, Rosa... was dying. Don't make such a fuss about it," said Daisy.
Daisy wanted her daughter to be happy, so she had to talk some sense into her.
"Mom, if it were you in that situation, and dad chose another woman, would you still be with him?" asked Angela. Angela put down the empty bowl, and plainly asked her own mother who seemed to have become Arvin's real mother.
Daisy didn't have any response. She would definitely feel uncomfortable, but she still believed that it could be forgiven, given the special circumstances of their situation. Angela did not think so.
"Mom, to say the least, even if I forgive that Arvin saved Rosa and took her out to safety first..." She didn't finish her words. She had decided she wasn't going to tell Daisy. She knew that some things were better off unsaid.
"What did you want to say?" asked Daisy. Daisy sat beside her daughter and looked into Angela's hesitant eyes.
What did she want to say? She wanted to say that even on her birthday, Arvin had left in advance to see Rosa. As long as anything concerned Rosa, Arvin would be the first person at Rosa's side. Angela could forget Nita, but she couldn't forgive Rosa.
"I don't want to say anything. If Arvin wants to stay here, let him be. As long as you and dad don't mind, I can carry on ignoring him," said Angela. Her father had always wanted Arvin to be a live-in son-in-law. I would work perfectly fine if she didn't kick him out.
Daisy shrugged her shoulders helplessly and said, "Angela, you can do whatever you want, as long as you keep my grandson safe. I won't speak any more of this matter. The nanny in your brother's house isn' available today, so I'll have to go and take care of my two grandchildren. If you want to go out for a walk, remember to bring someone with you."
To be honest, Angela could understand her mother's good intentions. Although Daisy favored Arvin and took his sides for many times, she always put her daughter's happiness in the first place. Everyone makes mistakes. What mattered was the degree of the mistake and the attitude of rectifying the mistake in a proper manner.
The degree of Arvin's mistake had not crossed Daisy's bottom line. And Arvin had been apologizing to Angela with sincere attitude. Daisy wanted Angela and Arvin to reconcile and get back together. Therefore, Daisy would sometimes spend the night with Angela, trying to moderate the relationship between the two of them. ☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
