Cosset You Forever novel Chapter 1491

Once Arvin's Porsche had receded completely from view, Stanley patted Gage on the shoulder and said, "I'm afraid you get used to it. It's just the way he is. Let's go!"

They locked their arms around each other's shoulders, and divided up. Only Derrick lingered, looking on at Nita who stood motionless. "Nita, you should have... noticed his indifference a long time ago."

Nita simply shook her head. She touched her forehead with one hand and said, "Derrick, I thought...I don't know...if Rosa was gone for good, Arvin would choose me..." But a thought flashed through her mind. 'Even if Rosa doesn't return, he still doesn't love me! He's in love with someone else!'

Looking at her sad face, Derrick felt a little pain. "Nita, he only loves Rosa. Even if there are a lot of women around him, they are just passersby."

"Maybe I'm also a passers-by for him... but I don't want to be a passer-by! Derrick, what should I do?" Nita looked at Derrick with a deep and unrelenting sadness.

Derrick was almost thirty years old. He looked more mature than others. He was the president of a transnational group and therefore, shouldered more responsibilities and pressures.

He hesitated and told her, "Love him... and don't give up."

It may have been well-concealed, and he had taken pains to guard it so, but actually, Derrick loved Nita. He wanted to help her seize her dreams. So, could he do but demand she not give up, as he hadn't. He had loved her for about ten years. He still thought about her, never giving in to defeat...

" Nita! Derrick!" A sweet voice came to their ears.

Nita took a deep breath, turned over and smiled when she heard the voice. "Lulu, what are you doing here?"

Lulu took Nita's arms intimately, and announced, "I just went to the washroom! And when I came out, nobody was there? Why was the birthday party over when I came back?"

Nita and Derrick glanced at each other and they didn't know how to answer the question. Lulu's innocence was too great to handle. Finally, Derrick explained to her, "You know your brother doesn't like party."

Lulu's head made an ineffably comical movement that conveyed how intangible such a statement was to her. But when she found Nita's pale face, she asked her aloud, "Nita, what's wrong with you?"

"Nothing..." Nita didn't want to give herself away to Lulu.

"The reason your brother left the party," said Derrick seriously, "was because of another woman! "

"A woman?" Lulu was surprised. Since Rosa disappeared, she haven't heard any rumors about Arvin!

Suddenly, she thought of one girl! Last time, when she went to the hospital, she met a girl who called Arvin a pervert...

Nita stared at Derrick, who finally found that he had crossed a line he shouldn't have. Derrick made an impromptu excuse to leave, and slinked away as fast as he could.

"Okay, see you, Derrick!" said Lulu. Lulu waved at Derrick.

Derrick nodded to them, and left the house.

Nita closed her hand around Lulu's, and said, "Lulu, the woman who is after your brother is..."

Oh, good Lulu, innocent Lulu! There wasn't a cockroach on the planet that feared her kitten-soft hands! Nita knew this about her. So, to Nita, it only made sense to try to take advantage of their good relationship. She wished to keep her close so she could gain Arvin's affection. It would work, she convinced herself. It had to...

Shengfeng Mansion

The table was expertly set. Angela put a bowl of well-cooked noodles on the place mat, basking in the hot steam. She was afraid that the noodles might get cold so she covered it with the plastic wrap.

Looking at the delicious noodles, Angela swallowed unconsciously. However, she only cooked one bowl of noodles. No noodles were left at all.

'Forget it! When Arvin eats them up, I'll go outside for some food!'

Looking at the watch, it was already seven ten but Arvin didn't show up. She looked at the box in her hand. She would have to wait to give it to him.

At seven thirty, Angela got a call. "Nancy," she answered.

Nancy sounded very excited, "Angela, how about the birthday party for Doctor Gu? I asked my brother, but he didn't tell me!"

Angela listened to the words coming over the receiver in fixated bewilderment. Arvin's birthday party? She looked at the quiet apartment. "There's no party here! Where is your brother?"

"My brother took a photo of the birthday party! But I didn't find you there. So, I said I'd call you to find out myself!"
