Sven was unaware of Arvin's engagement because he had known him for only a few years.
Arvin stared at the space between Sven's shoes. "My fiancee had disappeared for seven years. I couldn't help falling in love with Angela, " he softly said.
Sven felt a little better. "How do you feel about your fiancee now? In your heart?" he probed.
Feel? "I feel nothing for her in my heart!" retorted Arvin. "Okay..." Sven said, looking at him expectantly. "I am sorry. I will control myself from now on, " Arvin said at last.
It was not just Rosa now. Nita had further complicated things. Arvin could have refused her, but now he had lost the chance.
"Control yourself? You have lived with Angela for a long period. I don't believe you haven't done that thing!" said Sven angrily hitting the car roof with his fist.
He blamed himself. He didn't stop Angela when she started living with Arvin.
At the moment, Sven felt regretful. He was afraid that Angela would either become unhappy or do something stupid because of Arvin.
Arvin glanced at him and explained, "Although we slept together, we... did nothing!"
Sven was angry with Arvin, but he believed him.
He kept quiet.
Since Arvin had confirmed that he had done nothing with Angela, he felt a little relieved.
However, Sven was not going to forgive him easily, "But Angela loves you! If you can't stay with her, you'd better leave her and I will take her back home."
It would be better for both of them if they broke up as soon as possible.
Arvin said nothing, but his heart tore from the pain he felt when he heard what Sven had said. In fact, his heart almost broke!
Sven called Farris back and asked him to take Arvin home. When he arrived at the apartment in J City, he called Nicole.
"Hi Honey. You haven't slept yet!" Nicole had already put the children to sleep. She answered the phone on the balcony.
"Yes. I couldn't sleep, " He replied. She could feel that Sven was not in a good mood.
They had been married for a long time so she understood his moods. "You sound upset, Honey. What's wrong?" she tenderly asked.
"Nicole, I may have hurt Angela..." he slowly said. His little sister was an innocent girl.
If she really loved Arvin, how would she be able to accept the fact that Arvin couldn't stay with her?
"Why do you say that? Tell me more." Nicole was shocked.
Sven told Nicole everything about Angela and Arvin.
Actually, the relationship between Nicole and Sven had always gone very well since the beginning.
They didn't experience the pains that Janet and Daniel had gone through
Nor did they have a love and hate relationship like Lola and Harry.
Sven was a witty and humorous man and he loved teasing Nicole. Nicole, on the other hand, was unpretentious and sweet and knew that Sven expressed his love through the teasing. She never got irritated with Sven for this. They lived a happy and simple life.
When she heard Sven's words, Nicole wanted to help Angela. What could she do to comfort and inspire her little sister-in-law?
"Dad and Mom will go to Yao Hospital tomorrow. And when you come back, Jane and I can go and see Angela. What do you think?" she asked after thinking a while.
Sven shook his head, "You needn't do that. I want to get Angela back home. I will talk to her and try to figure out her thought about the matter."
He didn't want Angela to get hurt, so he had to persuade her to go back home with him.
"Okay. But Sven, don't put too much pressure on her. It's her first love! I guess she might not want to come home with you." Nicole knew that Arvin was Angela's first love.
