Trapped With The Doctor Chapter 35

"The two must have something going on!" According to his careful observation, Arvin really took the initiative in coming over to Angela's house.
In the dinning room, Angela secretly dialed Lily's number. "How have you been, grandma?"
Lily was pleased to hear from Angela. "You remembered me, my little sweetheart!"
"Of course. Well, I've got one thing to ask you, grandma."
"Feel free to say it."
Angela peered at Sven and Arvin, who was seated around the table. "What does Arvin like to eat, grandma?"
Her question made Lily's eyes lighten up. 'She cared about Arvin! That's a good news!' Lily replied, "Arvin likes nothing special, but he does have something he dislikes."
Angela was so thrilled that she'd like to hit her own thigh. That was exactly what she wanted to know. "So, what is the food that he doesn't like?"
"Arvin doesn't like red-cooked pork, cilantro, eggplant..." Lily was glad to tell Angela all she knew about Arvin's dislikes in food, meat and vegetables.
Angela snickered, "Okay, I got it. Thank you, grandma!"
"Is Avrin with you, Angela?"
"Yes, grandma. My mum's hurrying me and we are going to have dinner soon. I have to go. I'll visit you when I'm free!"
Lily agreed, "Okay. You should go."
"Bye!"
...
After ending the call, Angela walked towards the dining table, where everybody was already seated. Chuck was seated on the main seat, with Daisy on his right hand and Sven on his left. Arvin was seated next to Sven.
Angela's eyes rolled. She moved towards Sven and clutched his sleeves as she smiled innocently at him. "Could you move and sit with mum, Sven? It's rare that Director Gu came to our home. As one of his employees, I need to ensure that he's well treated in our home."
Her words successfully drew everyone's attention.
Earlier, she drove Arvin away, but now she changed her mind and didn't want him to go?

Sven stood up without a second thought and sat next to Daisy. As what Angela had wished, she sat beside Arvin.
It seemed like Arvin curved the corner of his mouth. There was a saying, The weasel goes to pay his respects to the hen - not with the best of intentions.
It was a great dinner tonight. Daisy had cooked eight dishes and prepared two bowls of soup.
Angela's eyes lightened up when she saw some dishes with meat, two of these weren't Arvin's favorite.
She picked up a piece of red-cooked pork and put it to Arvin's plate, "You deal with a lot of problems every day, Director Gu. You've had a hard time. You should treat youself with some meat to supplement some nutrition! Suit yourself..."
...
Everyone around the table felt a sense of weirdness. Chuck narrowed his eyes at her daughter's pleased face as he observed her closely. "Why is my little girl so attentive to this man?"
Daisy, as well, was wondering what was going on with her daughter.
Sven picked up a piece of red-cooked pork too and waited for something fun to happen. As far as he knew, Arvin did not like red-cooked pork at all.
Arvin was looking at that pork for nearly half a minute.
Angela tilted her head and looked at Arvin's blank expression. She certainly felt good about herself.
"Come on, Director Gu. This red-cooked pork dish was made by the cook who was hired by my older brother. You should eat more. As well as this lettuce in oyster sauce..." Yes! Arvin didn't like oyster sauce, either.
A leaf of lettuce with an overflowing oyster sauce on it was put onto Arvin's plate.
Arvin looked at Angela, who was full of provocation and satisfication in her eyes. "Thanks."
Later on, he ate all food on his plate. Angela watched him with her
eyes wide open.
... No! She tried to recall what Mrs. Gu told her. 'I remembered it right. Arvin doesn't like red-cooked pork. What's goning on?'

"Eat your food, Angela!" Chuck did not notice the competition between the two. He just felt like his daughter was too attentive to Arvin.
"Okay." Angela retracted her eyes to her own food and drank her porridge in disappointment.
'Mrs. Gu won't lie to me! So, which part went wrong? Was this because he hadn't eaten enough?'
After a careful thought, Angela picked up another piece of red-cooked pork and put it onto Arvin's plate. "I may have a lot of things to consult with you in the future about Yao Hospital, Director Gu. Feel at home, please. "
Holy mama! Angela was not good at talking. She couldn't find other words to compliment Arvin...
Soon, Arvin's plate was filled with red-cooked pork and lettuce with oyster sauce, including some celery, which he also disliked. His plate was always fully refilled by Angela.
To match Angela's hospitality, Arvin picked up a piece of mutton chop with black pepper and placed it on her plate. With an effort to sound gentle and friendly, he told, "Thank you for your consideration, Angela. Help yourself, too. You're skinny. A girl is perfect with a little fat."
Angela was in utter surprise. 'Arvin was so thick-skinned. Since when did he care about me?'
Well, the last sentence he said... would have deeply touched her if he truly cared for her.
However, she remembered every word that he said before.
She was only 120 pounds and he told her to lose weight because he thought she was too fat.
After picking up the two pieces of mutton chop for Angela, Arvin ate the food on his plate quietly.
Sven cleared his throat to conceal his laughter and said to his younger sister, "Eat your food, Angela. Why are you staring into space?"
"Okay!" Angela drew back her thoughts and ate her favourite mutton chop.
'Arvin picked up my favourite dish accidentally. That's amazing!'
Seeing the exchange between Angela and Avrin, Chuck pondered about it a lot. 'Arvin and Angela...' He saw Arvin in a different way now.
As for Daisy, she thought Angela was being difficult. "It was no good idea to make Arvin eat so much red-cooked pork, Angela. This mushroom soup with winter gourd is good, too. Refill it in Avrin's bowl, Angela. "
"Mum... He can refill it on his own." Angela felt droopy seeing that her plan didn't go as she wished.
"Didn't you say that you have many things to consult with Arvin, Angela? Be friendly, okay?" Then, Daisy passed the scoop over to Angela.
Angela took the scoop over. "That's... my mum! ="
When she was about to take Arvin's bowl, he stopped her. At first, Angela was confused but then Arvin explained, "Guiding you is no big deal. It's just a small case. However, dropping by in this home might have caused Angela to be unhappy, so it's my fault. I am sorry." After saying this, Arvin refilled Angela's bowl with soup.
'Avrin would say sorry too me?' Angela almost choked herself with the porridge inside her mouth. 'Did I mishear him?
But his words suggested that I was being difficult?'
After refilling the bowl with soup, Arvin admitted, "Sorry that I made you unhappy, Angela."
As a matter of fact, Arvin's words did have two layers of meaning. For one thing, he was sorry for the situation right now. Another thing was that he wanted to apologize for the private examination incident. He did a lot of thinking and he realized that he was a little hard on Angela at that time.
Angela was inexperienced at her new job, so it was also a genuine apology for that incident.
