With the whole family's blessing, Angela was ready to give birth to her baby.
This meant that Arvin would have a daughter very soon.
Members of Si family, such as Sven had stayed at Angela and Arvin's apartment for several days, waiting for the baby girl to be born.
On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Angela began to feel a slight pain in her womb.
Arvin put a piece of moon cake that he had made by himself into Angela's mouth. But she frowned immediately as she tasted it.
This upset Arvin.
As a saying goes, nobody is perfect.
Arvin also had shortcomings even though he was excellent in most fields.
In appearance, figure, profession and power... He was perfect.
However, cooking was not one of his specialities.
In Angela's words, he was the destroyer of kitchens.
Arvin had tried to learn cooking when Angela was pregnant. But even under the guidance of Angela, he still failed.
That week, he had worked very hard to prepare the recipe before baking the moon cakes.
On the outside, they looked yummy in color and shape.
But Angela frowned as soon as she had a little bite.
When Arvin wasn't paying attention, Sven picked up a piece of moon cake quickly and ate it. "Wow! Arvin! You're so great! It's really delicious!" he said.
Hearing what Sven said, Arvin also picked up a piece and tasted it carefully. Then he himself had to admit that it was really good.
Angela frowned because she felt pain from her pregnancy. She figured out that Arvin must have misunderstood what she meant. She pointed at her belly and consoled him, "Look! I just frowned because of the pain, but I like the moon cake very much." She was confused.
Why was it that other women who were delivering babies as well didn't feel the same kind of pain like she did? Her pain got more fierce, so she had no strength to swallow the moon cake.
Sven saw Angela's expression as he ate the rest of the moon cake. He stood up immediately and told Arvin excitedly, "Your wife is about to give birth to your baby now!"
Arvin threw away the moon cake from his hand right away and told Angela, "Don't worry, honey! I'll be with you!"
Angela felt amused because she wasn't worried at all. Arvin was the only one who was so nervous!
Arvin's concerns and worrying were clearly shown in his eyes. Compared to his calm self in daily life, he looked like a different man.
Angela stood up with the help of Arvin and Sven. When she felt a little better, she took the chance to swallow the moon cake in her mouth.
It tasted delicious.
Sven was ready to hold Angela up but was stopped by Arvin. He cast a glance at him and held Angela up with his arms. Then he ordered Sven, "Open the door!"
... Sven opened the door for him unwillingly.
Suddenly, Angela pointed at the table and said in a weak voice, "Sven..."
Now Sven got nervous too. He caught her hand and asked her, "How do you feel?
Tell me where it hurts. Does your womb hurt? Is the baby kicking?"
Angela answered, "Brother, I want to eat... the moon cakes."
It took almost a month for her husband to prepare the moon cakes for her. She didn't want to waste them.
Sven was speechless. He picked up one at random and brought it to Angela.
Arvin ran towards the gate of their apartment, carrying Angela. Angela bore the pain and told Sven with all her strength, "Brother... Bring them all with you, I'll take them all."
Arvin and Sven both lost their words. They felt ridiculous at how Angela could only think about the food at that moment.
But they had to follow her orders. Sven put the rest of moon cakes into a box and carried them to the hospital together with Arvin and Angela.
On their way to the hospital, Sven held her hand and said, "I've asked you to stay at hospital but you didn't listen to my advice. Now we have to hurry to the hospital from your house, which by the way, is very far from the hospital." Arvin felt very upset to see his wife in so much pain. But when he thought about their daughter would come into the world soon, he felt a lot happier.
Angela took a bite of the moon cake and said, "Darling... It's delicious."
Arvin had arranged the best ward for Angela in VVIP Department in advance just as he had done when Angela gave birth to their twins. But after one and a half days, Angela secretly left the hospital when Arvin was having a meeting.
She told Arvin that she felt very bored in hospital.
At the last stage of her pregnancy, Angela couldn't sleep well in the old house of the Gu Family, so she and Arvin moved to their own apartment.
Arvin gave up most of his hospital work and began working from home. If he had to have a meeting, he would attend it through video chat.
He did all that only to make sure that he could keep a close eye on Angeles's pregnancy.
