Angela had to rely on her effective methods to coax her stubborn husband. She put the egg yolk back on the plate and wiped her hands with a tissue paper.
Then, she gripped Arvin's sleeves and apologized to him, "Big Wing, I was sorry. I'm wrong. Although it wasn't entirely my fault, I will still apologize to you. Please forgive me, would you?"
That was the biggest concession that she could make.
Arvin put down the fork and asked, "Now do you realise it was your fault?"
"Yes, yes. I know that!" Angela apologized sincerely.
"Finish your breakfast in five minutes, then dress yourself up in fifteen minutes and go out with me" instructed Arvin. In fact, even without Fabian reminding him last night, Arvin always knew that Angela was still as playful as a child.
He had already planned to go out with Angela today. He also was well aware that Angela would eventually apologize to him.
Angela's mouth dropped when she heard that. She looked at her breakfast and replied, "In five minutes? There's no way I can finish this in five minutes, and I can't dress myself up in just fifteen minutes!" It usually took women more than fifteen minutes to do their makeup and dress up before going out.
Arvin squinted at her and said, "In that case, I will just go by myself."
"Go where?"
"To have fun."
... Forty minutes later, Angela grabbed her handbag, and finally got ready to head out with Arvin.
After she boarded the plane, she found that Arvin had already packed her luggage and had moved them to the plane.
Angela looked at the arrogant man, speechlessly. 'Did he already forgive me a while ago? Then why did he bother so much with the apology? Huh! This mean guy!'
Angela thought to herself.
Now Angela was starting to get excited about the surprise trip. She had forgotten all about the displeasure and asked, "Big Wing, where are we going to have fun? Why are you still wearing your Western suit?"
He wore a suit as if he was going out to work and not for fun.
"To Green Cold Country." He answered her simply and continued to browse on his cellphone.
Obviously he was giving her the cold shoulder and making her feel unhappy. She slammed her palm on the table and yelled, "I'm not going! I want to get off the plane!" Angela then stood up from her seat and walked towards the cabin door, which was closed.
"Is that how you show your apology?" Arvin confronted her with an angry voice, as he still remembered that Angela had pretended to be Fabian's girlfriend at his birthday party last night.
Angela turned around, glared at him and said, "I'm apologizing to you for the whole morning. You're so mean. I haven't been unfaithful to you, but why do you still treat me like this?"
"You've attended Fabian's birthday party, as his girlfriend. I think that's the same thing as being unfaithful to me." Arvin snapped at her.
Angela defended herself and said, "I didn't sleep with him!"
This angered Arvin even more. Instantly the situation had escalated into an aggressive argument.
Then they stared at each other silently, as no one was willing to accept defeat. Eventually, Angela couldn't bear his cold look and broke silence first. She said, "I think you don't love me at all. You seized my one fault, and took this opportunity to break up with me, so that you can be together with Rosa Yin! You can finally restore your relationship with her with me out of the way! Tell me the truth, is Rosa already waiting for you in Green Cold Country?"
