Trapped with a Doctor novel Chapter 155

It was Uncle Culler who had spread the news that this pearl was the most irresistible one in the world, as broadcast on the local news, and jewelers from all over the world came to inspect the pearl for its authenticity. They found that it matched their expectations exactly. It was the most priceless gem in existence to date. The rich families of the world expressed their greed for it, and even the president of C country had to de-escalate the situation when his wife made demands to seize Uncle Culler's assets so that he would have to sell the pearl on just to make payments. It certainly caused commotion in the international scene.

And then, it turned out after a series of uncomplicated events, that Arvin became the pearl's true owner. And now, it belonged to Angela.

"Is this really and truly the pearl that everyone has been talking about? How curious. It has been the smash hit of this decade." Angela could not contain her excitement as she ventured this opinion.

She had been interested in rare jewels all her life and had heard about this pearl through many nights alone in the R and D ward with only a television to keep her company.

Uncle Culler nodded. He cast his gaze over the pearl and then turned his look to Arvin.

Seeing the surprise on Angela's face, Arvin broke out into a boyish grin.

No matter how much energy and money he had spent, it was worth it to elicit the surprise of a cute, wide-eyed little girl such as Angela.

When they left the Culler's house that evening, there were several things in her hands. All these were chosen by Angela and bought by Arvin for her as gifts.

Angela silently counted out the value of these gifts, and she found that they valued quite high.

Their price was so high, in fact, that she felt it was difficult to figure out their exact value with any accurate measurement.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Angela couldn't help moving close to Arvin. "Big Wing, what reward do you want?" she asked him. "I'll do anything you please."

After a moment's consideration, Arvin put his hand on the back of her head and pushed it forward in his direction, then he kissed her gently.

Oh! 'Why does he kiss me suddenly? Is it his answer to my question?' she wondered.

But...

Fine! Angela stopped wondering and decided to let Arvin kiss her as he pleased.

She put her arms around his waist and crept up closer to him.

After a while, they heard the sound of loud, opprobrious of knocking. Their kiss was cut short by someone banging on the bonnet of Arvin's car.

They opened their eyes together but they were still hugging each other. This was because Angela felt her mind turn blank after the kiss. As for Arvin, he didn't want their kiss to be bothered and he pretended that he hadn't hearing this noise.

The sound hadn't stopped yet. Instead, it got louder. Angela came to her senses finally and pushed Arvin away. Leaning against Arvin's chest, she looked out towards the direction of the sound.

The man knocking the car was none other than Sven, who stared in at them with a rage-filled, annoyed face.

There was someone else behind him. Nicole!

She was snickering with her hand covering her mouth.

'Damn it! We've been caught by my brother!' Angela realized in alarm. She disengaged from Arvin's chest and sat straight up, hiding her head in her curls of hair. She tidied her dress and opened the car door to greet them. "Brother and my sister-in-law, nice to see you!"

Sven gave her a glare of contempt and looped around the other side of the car, then he caught Arvin who was about to get out of the car. "How dare you flirt with my sister in C Country? I don't need your explanation! Just get out! Let's duel!" he commanded.

Arvin indifferently glanced at Sven, threw down his hands which had been gripping his coat, and pretended to dust himself off. Finally he asked Sven, "Why are you here with your wife?"

Sven put his hands in his pockets and replied in a cold tone, "I heard that Culler has a precious pearl and I came to have a look." It did not escape his notice that Angela found this statement very crude and humorous; he had wanted to bargain for it so he could give it to her, that was really why he came, to make his sister happier than ever.

However... He suddenly realized something and looked at Arvin to ask him, "Why are you here?"

Seeing Angela's joyful face when she was talking with Nicole, Sven predicated that the pearl might have a new owner.

"I came for tea." Arvin replied to him briefly.

"Where is the pearl?"

Sven asked him directly.
