Cosset You Forever

Nita shook her head willfully. "No, no, Arv. I know you don't like me... So, anyway, that's all we can do here. We have no further recourse, and there's no point pursuing it. Well, dad and mom, shall we go back home? We will so. Heh heh." She was almost crying when speaking these words out. That was the last heaving noise she let out with a low heh sound.

Teresa was tired of dwelling on these matters and having to sooth all these ingrate's anxieties away and dealing with the chaos between Arvin and Nita.

When she saw James and Nita speaking ill of Angela and Finn ironically just now, she really started to feel disappointed for the Zhen family group.

At this time, she thought of last year when the Si's came by. Daisy Tang looked so decent and elegant... There was such a wild difference between the Zhen's and the Si's.

She seemed to know only a few little things about Nita. She thought Nita had a good personality, otherwise she would not have been so successful in her career.

But it seemed that Teresa had made a horrible blundering mistake...

Teresa said in an elegant manner, "Nita, since you are here today, why not ask Arvin to make his point clear in front of us, so as to avoid causing any trouble in the future." Ask Arvin to make his point clear? Nita was astonished. Did Teresa mean that she planned to leave her alone...

No! No!

"But Aunt Teresa, I'm pregnant, and the baby is Arv's." What Nita said surprised everyone in the room.

Pregnant...

Angela's face looked even paler. What? Oh, yes! Nita had told her that Arvin and her had dated each other before.

She had been trying to escape from the problem, but she still had to face up to it now...

She was so immersed in her love dream with Arvin that she had already forgotten about it...

She found her hand trembling upon hearing the bad news, and she tried hard to tear up the gauze around her head. Her eyes were allergic and swelled up, but she was not blind! Little portions of light became noticeable, and she had to see it personally and listen to the explanation by Arvin...

However, before the gauze was completely loosened, her hand was pressed down by a big palm which she felt so familiar with.

The emotion Angela felt was already out of control like a run away train, so she got rid of his hand immediately, saying, "Let go of me, Arvin!"

Arvin knew exactly why she got so emotional, so he didn't release her hand, instead, he re-tied the gauze as tenderly as possible and said, "Don't you believe me? Where is your trust for your boyfriend?" "..." Angela calmed down the moment she heard this from Arvin.

Then, she felt that her hand was held by another strange person who said, "Little Angela, please be a good girl. It's your eyes that matters most now."

It was Teresa.

She patted her hand softly to comfort her.

The sudden change of Teresa's attitude surprised everyone who all had a different countenance on which their looks rested with either contempt or astonishment depending on the person.

Angela was deeply touched, and Arvin was hugely relieved that Teresa seemed to finally accept Angela. Nita felt nothing but wallowing anxiety. Finn, if we are to list out all the emotions of all the people in the room, which it is obvious to everyone will be the case, was shocked in his simpleton way. And lastly James was angry...

Teresa and Arvin's attitude changed towards Angela. It was just as if... she was her daughter-in-law and his wife, but one must remember that she wasn't yet.

Nita almost lost her mind when she saw that. She shook her head and cried, "Aunt Teresa..." It was her who got pregnant. Why was she being so nice to Angela?

Actually, when Nita said that she was pregnant, it beggared no disbelief and so people were readily accepting of the normality of the statement. Grammatically it showed no flaws, so why would it make someone disbelieving? Exactly. But when she heard the explanation from her son, she calmed down.

After tying up the gauze again for Angela, Arvin sat aside, holding Angela's little hand. Then, he said, "If it was Angela who told me this news, I would definitely believe it. I would be the happiest man in the world. But since it was said by you, Nita, I will never believe it!"

The moment Arvin finished checking the surveillance camera of the community, there was nothing good left between Nita and him in his heart! All the past vestiges of joy were shattered and broken. What Arvin said made Angela shy. She lowered her head demurely. Her face blushed and she tried hard to pinch his fingers together as if an ounce of fairy dust lay between them and she could whisk herself away from this uncomfortable situation. However, she could not. How could it be possible for her to get pregnant in such a short time?

But speaking of this, Angela thought of a very serious issue... She hadn't taken the contraceptive pill yet... And it was already more than seventy-two hours since they had sex.

Oh, no...

Arvin was confused about her sudden trembling. He had her little hands in his palms and tried to comfort her; but he also had to deal with Nita, so he remained furious. "Arvin, if you don't believe me, I can take an examination right now!" Perhaps she was really out of mind, and because of this, Nita called Arvin his full name.

After Arvin told her that Lily had felt her pulse, she wanted to overrule the opinion of Lily, so she went to see some one and had sex with him...

It was Derrick, a good friend of Arvin's.

She had no way but to leave a second choice for herself. Derrick really had a crush on her. If she eventually failed to be with Arvin, Derrick might be a good choice.

Arvin glanced at her indifferently. He knew he had to convince her. So, he took out his cell phone and called Kent. He said to Kent, "Take the flash disk to No.9 ward of VVIP hospitalization department." Flash disk? What flash disk? Everyone was confused.

When they were waiting for Kent's arrival, Angela pulled Arvin's arm and tried to make his grasp known to her as one she could trust. Arvin realized what she was doing, so he put his ear close to her lips. Angela asked, "Big wing, I forgot to take the medicine. What should I do..."

She forgot to take the medicine?

Their kid... How adorable would he or she would be...

Arvin smiled immediately when he heard about it. Although it was a subtle smile, Nita noticed it, and became even more envious.

"What's done is done. Don't you think that I was unable to raise our baby?" Arvin said it in a low voice, but what he said almost blew up Angela's mind!

How could he... How could he say it in front of everyone?

"Get out. I want to go to sleep now!" Angela was so shy that she loosened Arvin's hand and covered her face with the quilt out of shyness and shame. She had no other recourse now.

Teresa was angry and sad at the same time when she saw what had unfolded right before her eyes in plain sight of everyone present. It was an unholy experience to say the least, and she didn't know where to go from that juncture.

Finn looked extremely unhappy, too. She said, "Arvin, what could you mean by this encounter you have made? Do you want to date the two of these girls at the same time, is that it?"

"Date the two girls at the same time?" Arvin repeated the words she had said and thought about the implications, but felt no concern for her.

Angela who hadn't been out of the range of this embarrassment now came out from under the quilt. She grasped Arvin's palm in her right direction and said, "I would not allow that! You cannot date two girls at the same time."

Arvin smiled and felt her eyes. He replied, "Don't worry."

Angela was always alone, both in his eyes and in his heart, and he would never be a person dating two girls at the same time!

"Sorry, Aunt Finn, but I don't think Nita is as good a fit as Angela is for my heart."

"What?!"

"Arvin!"

Finn and Teresa were both absolutely shocked. It had never occurred to them that Arvin would... hate Nita so much like the way he was expressing himself now.

Shortly afterwards, Kent came nosing around, stomping his big feet into the ward. Arvin took the flash disk from his hand and walked straight towards Nita who had a confused look on her face. He said to her in a cold voice, "Here's the record of the surveillance camera of our community! It was Angela who stayed in my apartment for the whole night, not you. As far as I know, you came by at seven o'clock on the morning the day after the incident!"

Nita's face became paler and paler to the point that there was no differentiating her between the whitewashed wall behind her, but she didn't stop the speech delivered by Arvin. He pointed at the computer beside them and said, "Do you want to admit everything by yourself or do you want me to show every one here?"

He tried hard to recover the record of the surveillance camera, because he knew that it might come in handy some day or other! Nita was speechless!

Grinding her teeth tightly in the seat by the potted plant in the corner of the room, Nita tried to deny it with frailty. She said, "No... Arv... There must be some mistake..."

How could the record of surveillance camera be recovered? She didn't believe it, and she didn't want to believe it!

She still refused to be convinced! Arvin walked to the computer and opened it. Before the video was played, he told James and Finn, "Uncle James and Aunt Finn, I'll show you the video record of the surveillance camera in my community. It will prove that nothing had happened between Nita and me, so I don't have to be responsible for her one bit!"
