Angela recognized her - Rosa Yin. She had just seen her photo at Jianqiao Garden.
It was the woman who had a history with Arvin.
Finally, Arvin decided to take a step forward... Finally, she was accepted by Arvin's family... Finally, Rosa's family stopped bothering their relationship... Finally, they overcame all criticisms so they could be together... But Rosa appeared right at this moment.
Angela was afraid that all the efforts she made, all the pain she had gone through, and even all the love she gave Arvin... would be in vain.
She got flustered.
Although Rosa didn't say anything and just gently looked at her, Angela seemed utterly flurried.
A moment ago, she felt like she was floating with the clouds, and now, she felt like she had dropped to the hard, cold ground, especially when she heard her voice, saying, "Hi, I'm Rosa Yin."
Rosa Yin.
Angela turned pale when she heard the name Rosa, who was always the barrier stuck between Arvin and her. Now, she was back again.
Angela felt embarrassed. She felt like the third wheel the moment she saw Rosa.
She became angry and puzzled, 'Why did Rosa Yin come back? Why today?'
But Arvin held her hands and said "Angela, let's get it done."
She hesitated and ran away with the residence register booklet and ID card in her hands.
But Arvin quickly caught up with her, held her in his arms, and said "She's got nothing to do with us."
No, Arvin would't give up loving Angela just because of Rosa's return.
Angela bit her lip and shook her head because she remembered Rosa's sad eyes. She was afraid that Arvin still cared for her, even a little bit.
At last, Angela escaped Arvin's embrace.
She took a taxi to Stanley's flat and found Nancy. She trembled and said nothing, just hugging her tight.
Nancy was worried, asking her what had happened, "What's going on? Tell me. Didn't you go register your marriage with Arvin? What about the licence? Did you get it?"
Angela shook her head and told Nancy that that woman came back.
At first, Nancy wasn't sure about whom Angela was referring to, but soon she realized.
Nancy knew everything about Angela and Arvin, so she asked, "Did he refuse to marry you because of Rosa?"
"He didn't. I did. Nancy, I am so worried... worried that Arvin still loves her."
Stanley put a glass of water on the table beside her and said, "Don't worry. Arvin doesn't love her any more, and he never will."
As a good friend of Arvin's, he was sure whom Arvin really loved.
They all knew that Arvin loved Angela more than anyone else, even Rosa.
Angela heard this, looked up at Stanley pathetically, and asked "How do you know that?"
"Arvin is my bro. I know him better than anyone else!" Stanley pulled her aside and said, "If I were you, I would be with Arvin right now, instead of whining here and leaving him with another woman."
Angela nodded. What he said sounded reasonable.
"Arvin would get sad and devastated if you leave him like that. Can't you see? This might be the perfect chance for Rosa to sweep in and take him away." Stanley kept trying to comfort her.
And Angela kept nodding. She regretted what silly thing she did. How could she be so impulsive to run away?
