Cosset You Forever

Baron still looked at Angela after he had greeted Arvin.

Angela wore a white down garment today with her hair bundled into a bun. She lay her hair on shoulders before dinner. Knowing she would go out for dinner with Arvin, she wore light makeup and had dressed up.

Obviously, Angela inherited her good appearance from her parents, Chuck and Daisy.

'What a beautiful girl.' Baron's eyes didn't stray away from Angela.

Arvin peered at Baron and then coldly replied to his question, "Yes." After that, he put his hand over Angela's shoulder and they walked away. They seemed like they didn't want to talk with Baron at all. However, Baron followed up and blocked their path.

"How come I never met your girlfriend, Avrin?" Baron said this with his eyes stuck on Angela.

Angela felt a sense of sickness by his wretched look, so she glared at Baron.

Her angry face made Baron more interested in her. 'Wow, a troublesome one! I like her.'

"Um, can you stop with the staring? Or you wanna taste my fists?" Arvin's cold warning drew Baron's mind back. He stopped looking at Angela immediately because he knew that Arvin was always equal with his words. If he promised something, he would do it.

"I'm just asking. Don't be mad, Arvin." Baron restrained himself. He didn't want to irritate Avrin.

After a few silent seconds, Baron asked Angela again, "What's your name, beautiful?"

Angela didn't reply to him. She held Arvin's arms and smiled at him, "I want to shop."

"Yes," Arvin gently replied. Then they went past Baron and headed for the parking lot hand in hand.

Baron was envious of their loving interaction.

What he didn't expect was icy Arvin to be so attractive to so many beautiful girls. 'Why is Arvin so popular? He just has a good appearance.'

Baron felt a little envious. He waved at a man behind him. "What do you want me to do, Baron?"

"Go and investigate the girl."

It seemed Baron had a little crush on Angela. He was the kind of person that would get whatever he wanted. Well, this time, Angela was the person he wanted to get.

Baron assumed that this girl wouldn't be very important to Arvin because everyone in J City knew that Avrin already had a fiancee and that was definitely not this girl!

'She might be Arvin's lover,' Baron concluded.

As for Arvin and Angela, they arrived in the city center's shopping mall. Angela stopped before a snack shop and stared at the Oreo egg balls, her eyes lighting up. She immediately dragged Arvin into the shop. "Which one do you like?" Arvin asked.

Angela replied to him without hesitation, "Oreo egg balls."

Avrin smiled, "Well, you wait here. I'll get it for you." Arvin pulled up a chair for Angela and left.

Angela was well seated and waited for Avrin.

Her eyes followed Avrin. Suddenly, she heard some people quarreling by the elevator.

She looked to the crowd. It was a couple and a middle-aged woman. 'That woman may be the younger woman's mother-in-law,' Angela assumed.

Angela never paid much attention to such things.

However, when she drew back the sight, she clearly heard the middle-aged woman barking, "Mandy! You shouldn't talk to my son like that!"

'Mandy?' Angela felt this name was so familiar.

Angela then looked to them and she found out that young woman in a purple coat was her beloved friend, Mandy! Mandy and she hadn't seen each other for a long time. Angela was about to greet Mandy when she saw, in the next moment, that the man beside Mandy dragged her hair and then slapped her across the face. Everyone present was appalled by that.

Some of them pointed at the man whispering something and some were about to dial numbers on their phones.

Seeing his mum being hit, the kid in her arms cried.

Angela suddenly stood up and ran into the crowd. "Excuse me...Excuse me...Thank you."

When she got into the crowd, she saw Mandy was being scolded by her mother-in-law. "Look at yourself. If you don't have money, don't buy expensive things, okay? You don't make any money. Well, my son supports the family!"

Mandy's one hand touched her cheek; the other hand still held her kid tightly. Being so rudely treated in public, she couldn't help crying but she still begged her mother-in-law, "Let's go home and handle this, okay?"

Then she was about to leave without receiving a reply.

However, her husband Spencer didn't let her go. He put forward a requirement, "Say sorry to my mum!"

Mandy threw Spencer's hand away. "Go home first, all right?" She did not want to be humiliated any more. Her husband, Spencer, had changed a lot since they married. Sometimes he would beat her at home without any reason. However, she didn't expect that he would hit her in public.

Even though she begged and begged, Spencer didn't listen to her. He insisted that Mandy should apologize, "Apologize to my mum, otherwise nobody leaves here!"

Spencer's words went way too far. Someone in the crowd barked at him, "Before she apologizes to your mum, you say sorry to her first!"

That was Angela. She couldn't bear to see Mandy being badly treated because she did nothing wrong. She just wanted to buy clothes which made her look good. "Yes! Why do you still consider yourself a man when you treat your wife like this!"

"You should be ashamed of yourself!" "Horrible man!"

"Yes! Horrible!"

Soon there were different voices from the crowd. They all took Mandy's side. Spencer was drawn away by the first voice.

He glared at this girl and barked at her, "Who are you to talk? Mind your own business!"

At this moment, Mandy was a mess. She just coaxed her child to stop crying and she didn't pay attention to Angela's voice.

"What a horrible man to beat a woman in public!" Angela stepped forward and put her hands around her chest, looking at Spencer with no fear.

Mandy's mother-in-law, Rosie, looked at Angela up and down. Then she explained to Angela with a threatening tone, "She wanted to buy expensive clothes here in the shopping mall, but had no money. I was just educating her. And you, mind your own business!"

Nobody knew except Angela that Mandy was from a rich family as well, but afterwards she wanted to marry Spencer, so she cut away from her family. After she married, her husband was the only one who made money to support their family.

"No money? Your son has money. That's the same. You are a family. Isn't it reasonable for a husband to buy clothes for her wife who sacrifices so much for the family?" It was obvious that Mandy's clothes were cheap.

Back at high school, Mandy was always dressed up like a princess. She wore slight makeup every day. Besides, girls were always jealous of her good taste in clothes. Boys liked to follow her all day. But now? Her skin was darkened and her eyes were dull. And with freckles on her face, she looked like those countrified wives.

To be honest, Angela was shocked to see Mandy in such a situation at her first sight. 'Mandy is only 24 years old. How come she's changed so much!' However, now she understood why. A bad husband and a bad mother-in-law.

"My son earns his money really hard, so she shouldn't waste a penny!" Rosie explained herself. 'Her family doesn't care about her any more. Why do I have to care about her!"
