Trapped with a Doctor
Chapter 318 Let Go of the Past

As Angela was picking out a New-year's gift for Arvin, she received a WeChat reply from him, which read, "Angela, I've been staying in the hospital these past few days." He meant that he was being honest and loyal to her.

"I know," she replied. Angela knew that Arvin had not only been busy with research and development, but also with various hospital affairs. She saw how hard he had been working.

"Come to my hospital."

"Why?"

"I'll examine you myself to see if you are... ill." Angela's sudden sweet nothings left the unflappable Arvin at a loss...

He immediately called the bodyguards to keep a firm eye on Angela in case she tried to run away from home or elope again.

He was not worried about what Fabian would do to Angela, because he had already spoken to Fabian's grandfather in person. Since Fabian and Angela had separated, his grandfather had been pressuring him to go on a blind date almost every day, leaving him no time to see Angela.

Angela stopped short as she read Arvin's message. Looking back in bewilderment, Nancy found her in tears, so she walked back to her, and asked, "What's wrong, Angela? Are you okay?"

Angela shook her head, and answered, "It's nothing. I'm fine..." She just felt she had... been too hard on Arvin, or too stubborn.

Now Arvin felt uneasy because she told him that she loved him.

What about her? She would feel out of whack if Arvin didn't say honeyed words to her.

"Are you feeling sick, Angela?" Nancy looked at her anxiously.

Angela took out a tissue, wiped her tears, and responded, "No, Nancy. I have just decided to trust Arvin again..." Now without Rosa and Nita, could it be... just the two of them? She would like to try again. Nancy softly patted her on the back and sighed, "Oh, Angela, you've finally decided to let go of the past. Don't worry, I'm sure Arvin will make you happy!"

Angela looked up at her, holding her tears at bay.

Then she recouped herself, and continued to look for Arvin's gift.

After shopping in the afternoon, they both separated early and went on their own ways. As soon as Angela got home, she took a pile of food into the kitchen and put it all in the fridge with the help of the

servant.

Arvin never allowed her to spend time in the kitchen unless she cooked for him, when they were alone.

However, they barely had time to be alone together, so Arvin had not had a meal cooked by Angela in a long time.

Lily looked curiously into the kitchen and asked, "What are you doing, Angela?"

Angela, who was busy with whole grains, looked back with a smile, and replied, "Grandma, Today is the Laba Festival. I'm cooking Laba porridge."

'Angela is cooking?' Neither she nor Arvin would want to trouble Angela by cooking for them in person. In Lily's opinion, Angela was a delicate woman, and it was hard enough for her to give her two great- grandsons, and she need not do anything else. "We have chefs to cook for us. You don't have to bother with cooking. Go upstairs and play with the kids!" Lily said.

Arvin had built a playground for the children on the third floor, so that on the days when it would not be convenient to go out, as it was today, which was a snowy day, the kids could play at home. Angela quickly washed her hands, and wiped them before she walked over to take Lily's arm, and said, "Grandma, just go to the living room and read your book first... I'm ashamed that you have never eaten any food cooked by me. Let me show my filial affection for you, will you?"

As Lily put it, Arvin had already employed a variety of chefs, thus there was no need for Angela to be cooking at all, neither at the Si family nor at the Gu family.

Listening to her slightly coquettish voice, Lily retreated and said, "Okay. Then just cook the Laba porridge only."

"No, it's a festival. Try my other dishes as well, grandma! I'm very good at cooking. They will be delicious! Okay?" Angela helped Lily to the living room and sat her down. She then partially crouched down in front of her and gently shook her arm in an adorable and endearing manner.

Lily laughed out of amusement and said, "Okay, okay, just once. Ask them to help you, you can just fry vegetables and avoid doing the hard work!"

"Okay, grandma, wait here. I'll try to finish up as soon as possible!" Angela had to look at the recipe before cooking because she hadn't cooked in a long time.

Considering that it was the Laba Festival, and that Angela hadn't replied to him since afternoon, Arvin went home early from the hospital.

He heard the laughter of adults and children coming from the living room as he opened the door to enter...

His eyes were filled with happiness and smiles. He knew he was blessed to have such a sweet family.

In the living room, the chatterbox, Sherman was amusing the elders again, "... Great grandmother, I want to be a doctor when I grow up, so I can earn a lot of money, and then take you and my grandparents to Australia."

"Sherman, what are we going to do in Australia?" Lily asked him.

"To see kangaroos!"

"Haha, that's very sweet of you!" Teresa praised, grinning from ear to ear.

Arvin found the family playing while watching Animal Worlds on TV as he entered the living room.

"Dad!"

"Dad!"

"Uncle!"

The three children's voices called out to him one after another as he watched them running towards him.

Sherman and Sherwood were running ahead, but as soon as they realized the little girl was falling behind, they stopped gently. It wasn't until Wanda had jumped into Arvin's arms that they each held onto Arvin's legs.

Arvin picked all three kids up in his arms, who were shouting in excitement to see Arvin

Rom, Lacey and their son Bob had also just come back. Seeing Arvin, Bob got up from the couch and greeted him respectfully, "Uncle Arvin."

Arvin patted his head, and asked, "Where's your aunt Angela?"

Lacey chaffed him and replied, "You two are so in love. The first thing you ask when you get home is, 'where is Angela?' Are you afraid that we'll sell her off to someone else?"

Teresa also smiled and said, "Fortunately, Angela has forgiven him. Otherwise, we would not feel sorry for him even if he were single for the rest of his life!"

They immediately changed the subject and still didn't tell him where Angela was.

When he was about to walk upstairs, Bob stopped him and told him, "Uncle Arvin, aunt Angela is in the kitchen."

'She's in the kitchen?' The answer relieved his uneasiness. He immediately changed directions and went straight into the kitchen.

Inside the kitchen, a woman wearing an apron, standing with her back to the door, was cooking. Hearing the door open, she thought the servant, who helped her trim vegetables, had come in, and said, "Aggy, get me some ketchup from the fridge."
