Chapter 317 A Little Physical Punishment is Needed to Bring Up A Good Son
Arvin looked at his wristwatch and saw that it was almost eleven o'clock, so he patted Scott's shoulder and said, "It's getting late, so I am not going to invite you into the house tonight. Please go back home
now. The snow might grow heavier later."
"Okay, please send my regards to Angela. I should be going now," said Scott.
"Okay."
When Arvin went to his bedroom, he saw Lulu whispering to Angela there. Upon seeing Arvin, Lulu immediately ran out of their bedroom as quickly as she could.
Arvin frowned as he smelled the aroma of alcohol floating in the air. He wondered, 'Wasn't it Scott who drank tonight?'
"Why are you frowning? Look, you've frightened Lulu away!" Angela walked up to him, tiptoed, and smoothened his furrowing brows.
Arvin held her into his arms and said, "If Lulu behaves well, I won't be as strict with her as I am now."
"Okay, take it easy. She has a boyfriend now. Don't worry so much," assured Angela. Scott was a good man, so Angela believed that he would be able to take care of Lulu.
"Okay, I know. Did our sons behave well today?" Arvin asked and kissed her cheeks, then her neck...
Angela pushed him and tittered, "Sherman asked how much red pocket* money you are going to give him on Spring Festival. If the money is not enough, he and Sherwood will take me back to C Country." (*TN: red pocket or red envelop, means the money wrapped with a piece of red paper. It's a custom for the adults to give red pockets to the children on Spring Festival.)
Angela sighed when she thought about her naughty eldest boy. Sherman was too hyper, while Sherwood was composed. Angela thought that the two brothers should learn from each other and create a balance.
Hearing her, Arvin raised his brows and said, "Ask him to wait for me tomorrow!" "How dare he attempt to take my wife away. That brat... I have to teach him a lesson.'
Arvin needed to perform a surgery tomorrow morning, so he would go out early. He wouldn't have the time to spank Sherman until he came back from work. "Why? What are you going to do?" asked Angela.
Arvin said affirmatively, "A little physical punishment is needed to bring up a good son!"
Angela was dumbfounded. Did she just tell on Sherman? "Honey, Sherman is such a lovely boy. Would you be able to bear see him get spanked?"
In order to make the man cool down, Angela kissed him on the cheek to comfort him.
Arvin teased, "How about you sacrifice yourself for him? I will consider letting him off."
Angela pinched his ear and teased, "Tomorrow, I will ask grandma to give you some Chinese medicine. Otherwise, I am afraid that your body couldn't take it anymore." Arvin kissed her neck as he said, "I would agree to take the medicine. But, if I take it, I am afraid you will miss your sons very much."
"What did you mean?" Angela was confused.
"Your sons may not be able to see you for a few days, so they will miss you a lot. Aren't you worried about that?"
Angela was even more confused. She covered his mouth to stop him from kissing her and said, "What do you mean by that?"
Arvin caught her hand and whispered into her ear, "I meant that if I take grandma's medicine, you won't be able to get out of our bed for a few days..."
Angela blushed and scolded him, "You shameless man, can you stop your dirty jokes?"
"I am not able to stop it whenever I see you in front of me."
On Laba Festival*, during daytime, Angela and Nancy went shopping arm in arm. The road was still covered with a layer of snow, and there were snowflakes falling down from the sky. (*TN: Laba Festival is on the eighth day of the twelfth Chinese lunar month. On this day, Chinese people will eat Laba rice porridge which contains at least eight ingredients, such as rice, red beans, lotus seeds... etc.)
"It's so cold. Let's go have a cup of milk tea!" said Angela. Rubbing her hands to warm up, Angela pointed at a beverage shop in a distance and dragged Nancy to go toward it.
They felt much warmer when the warm milk tea went down their throats.
Angela held Nancy's hand as they went into a shopping mall, asking, "Are you going to have Laba porridge tonight?"
"Yes, my father will prepare it. Stanley will take Greta to my father's house tonight," said Nancy. Stanley's parents had passed away, so after they got married, he would stay with Nancy's family whenever it was the lunar new year holidays.
With Nancy's family being mentioned, Angela thought of another thing and asked, "How many years of imprisonment has Grace been sentenced to?" The last time, Grace had arranged for some men to kill Nancy because of Stanley. Angela was also hurt for saving Nancy. After that, Grace was put into jail.
Later on, Nancy's father found out that it was Grace and her mother who had conspired to kill Nancy, so he divorced Grace's mother right away.
Nancy's father hadn't gotten married with another woman again because he felt guilty for what happened to Nancy.
"She was supposed to be sentenced to a ten-year imprisonment under the charge of intentional homicide, but your husband had managed to make her get a life imprisonment!" said Nancy. She looked at Angela and asked, "Didn't you know about it?"
Angela shook her head and said, "I just remember your telling me that Grace was put into jail, but you weren't clear about her penalty at that time, so I didn't ask much about it."
"Fine... then do you know the penalty that Adam Geng and Randal got? Do you have any idea of it?" asked Nancy. She noticed Angela's confused face. Nancy now realized that Angela didn't know about what Arvin had done for her.
So she dragged Angela to sit down on the bench near them and told her, "Adam Geng initially had gotten a three-year imprisonment for the illegal imprisonment of others. But because his crime was a serious one, the Yin family lodged an appeal. Then, he was also charged with crimes of kidnapping and raping Rosa Yin. In the end, he was sentenced to a fifteen-year imprisonment."
Nancy continued, "As for Randal, he was charged with crimes of arson, kidnapping, robbery, attempted murder... In the end, he was also sentenced a life imprisonment for intentional homicide. Stanley had told me that Randal's elder sister had gone to the Si family house to stir up trouble, but Arvin had handled it. Haven't you heard about that?"
Angela looked at Nancy with shock. She even forgot about drinking her milk tea and asked, "When did it happen?"
"After you have given birth to the twins, when you were staying at your home, your brother and Arvin happened to meet Ellie. Ellie knew one of the wealthy persons in your neighbourhood. She sat in his car to go into your neighbourhood and shouted at the door of your house. Arvin had someone throw her out, but she then went to stir up trouble in the Chengyang Hospital... But your husband had dealt with all these matters."
Angela went silent as she heard Nancy talk. She bit her lower lip and asked, "Anything else? Please tell me all about these."
Nancy sighed and went on to say, "I have told you that you should forgive Arvin, but you just wouldn't listen to my words. Arvin has done a lot of things for you without letting you know. When Stanley told me all these things, he also said that if you still hadn't forgiven Arvin, you would've gone overboard."
'Arvin has done a lot of things for me behind my back...' Angela trusted Nancy's words because Arvin had not only done a lot of things in secret, but he had also treated her very well in front of her... Arvin treated her so well that even Daisy wanted to punch Angela for her stubbornness.
Angela sighed.
She heart was aching to think of what Arvin had done for her.
Arvin was such a smart man... Why was he so stupid to have tormented himself in loving her...
Angela sniffled and her eyes reddened when she recalled how well Arvin had treated her all these years.
Fortunately, she had already forgiven him. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to replace another man who loved her so much.
Angela took out her phone and sent a WeChat message to Arvin, "Honey, I love you. Love you so much!"
Nancy sighed with relief. In the past two years, every time she called Angela, Angela would tell her that she couldn't resist it anymore and that she felt she was going to forgive Arvin soon...
But when she thought about Rosa Yin, she restrained her feelings and decided not to forgive Arvin.
Nancy, of course, could understand why Angela had felt that way. she would always confront Angela, "If you can't forgive him, then divorce him right now!"
Angela would answer, "He doesn't agree to divorce me! I have mentioned it to him many times."
...
Nancy really wanted to tell Angela that she had a sworn brother and a sworn father who were both outstanding lawyers.
If she actually wanted to divorce Arvin, she would have had been successful already. The fact was that she had never meant to do it. Nancy was well aware of it, but she didn't expose it in front of Angela. Angela was just too stubborn; she was only strong when it came to saying things other than doing them. ☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
