Trapped with a Doctor novel Chapter 263

Rom pushed up his gold-framed glasses and said in a stern voice, "Aron, that's not how we do things in this family and that's definitely not what has gotten us to where we are right now!"

Even Lacey, who usually avoided commenting on such affairs, couldn't help chipping in, "I have met this Martha a few times. She seemed nice. It's a pity that she wasn't born into a better family. But still, there is no doubt that she's a very nice and honest person. Aron, it's a big decision to make whether or not to keep the baby. I think you should give yourself more time to think about it."

"..."

With all those uncalled-for reproach landing on him, Aron tried hard to suppress the anger rolling in his chest. 'What a trap maker!' he thought, 'Arvin is definitely the most devious man in this room that I should be watching out for.

And why wouldn't Martha tell me that she had gotten pregnant when I was with her last night? When I was trying to make out with her, the only thing she had said was that she wasn't feeling well. How the hell was I supposed to link that to her being pregnant?'

The air seemed to have frozen around as the silence dragged on. The rest of the people at the table started to worry that they might have been too hard on Aron and that he had gotten upset about it. They all knew he had a short temper.

Just as Teresa was trying to exert her "motherly charm" to talk sense into as well as comfort her boy, Aron opened his mouth and diverted everyone's attention back to Arvin, "Guys, I will go and find Martha right away and take whatever responsibility there is to take. So, please don't worry about me. In fact, I think we should be worrying about my brother, Arvin. I heard that he still doesn't want a child. Though Angela really wants one, he still refuses to. He once told me that they always use protection every time they do it..."

Nothing got the attention of elders easier than bringing up the idea of adding new members to the family.

Seeing that the conversation had totally turned Aron's mind, they couldn't wait to strike while the iron was hot and play it on Arvin too, which was exactly what Aron was aiming for.

The elders poured out their discontent about Arvin's refusal to have a baby throughout the whole meal. Even when Aron finished eating, he could still hear Lily scolding his little brother. "I've waited so long for a great grandchild that I almost started to think that maybe Angela had difficulties conceiving or maybe I should have prescribed some medicines to her. Now I know that it's you who has been refusing to have a child and keeping us in the dark about it... Arvin, you're breaking my heart. Is this what you want? "

Sitting next to Lily, Teresa hastily stretched her hand to calm her mother-in-law. "Mother, please don't be mad at Arvin. Let's finish breakfast first, I will go upstairs and take away all the condoms in their room. And don't worry, I will also check their apartment at Shengfeng Mansion."

That was quite a scene at the breakfast. Both Aron and Arvin left the dinning room with a lot to think about in their minds. As they were going out of the house, Arvin smacked Aron's shoulder and asked, "How did you know that Angela loves kids?"

Aron was baffled. 'What a weird question! Shouldn't he be asking me why I said that he doesn't want a baby?

My brother is such a weirdo!'

Aron pointed his finger at Arvin but couldn't think of any word to say. Finally, he gave up and got into his car. Before he sped away, Aron rolled down his window, put on his sunglasses and called out, "Hey, Arvin! Why would you think that I would want to abort my own child? You were really lame at making things up back there. I'll tell you what, I will marry Martha and then wait patiently for my son or daughter to come to the world. And I will be a super cool dad. You mark my word!"

A smile appeared on Arvin's face as he listened to what Aron had said. "Okay, brother. I will keep that in mind. You should, too!"

"You bet I will!" Letting out a cheerful whistle, Aron stepped on the gas and drove away.

Arvin had planned to go to the hospital directly to find Angela and clear things up with her.

However, Malik called and told him that he couldn't find Angela anywhere at the R and D Department. She hadn't showed up for work yet.

Arvin took out his phone and dialed Angela's number.

No one answered. Without any clue as to where Angela had gone, Arvin turned to Nancy. On the other side of the phone, Nancy's heart pounded seeing who the call was from. Nervously, she picked it up, "Mr. Gu, Angela is in the bathroom right now."

"Okay, where are you?"

Quickly raising her head and turning around to make sure that Arvin was not standing near and watching her, Nancy staggered, "Well, we are at a shopping mall... doing some shopping."

"Okay. Thank you for taking care of Angela. I will go and pick her up after work."

"That's all right. There is no rush. We are having a great time. Bye!"

Before Arvin could say goodbye, Nancy quickly hung up - any longer and she could have given herself away since she was terrible at lying.

Though he sensed something suspicious, Arvin didn't give it too much thought. He trusted this best friend of Angela's and was sure that he would have his wife back in the evening safe and sound.
