"I want to have some fresh American red grapes!" Angela said.
"No problem!" said Arvin. He could arrange for his private plane to go there and get some for Angela.
Angela put on a foxy smile and said, "I want to eat American red grapes, grape flavored. Mr. Gu, do you think you can satisfy your baby's needs?" Then, Angela rubbed her hands slightly over her stomach.
"Grape flavored red grapes? Angela, would you also like to try some banana flavored apples?" said Sven. He wondered what Angela's real intentions were.
With a sneer, Angela gazed at Arvin who didn't even react, "Well, Mr. Gu, can you do it? If you can't..." 'Then you should go away.'
Before Angela could finish talking, Arvin nodded affirmatively and said, "Wait for a second. I'll ask my people to buy them right now."
... Sven and his sister looked at Arvin with astonishment as they wondered where he was going to find the grape flavored red grapes.
The next morning, Angela was awakened by Arvin to eat breakfast, which was what Arvin had been doing recently.
Angela had slept a lot since she was pregnant. There were so many times when Arvin had to wake her, pull her up from bed, and bring her downstairs to have breakfast.
As her parents saw Arvin pamper Angela unconditionally, they gradually started to forgive Arvin for saving Rosa first instead of their daughter.
Today's breakfast was Chinese style breakfast made by a retired cook who was invited by Arvin. There were steaming dumplings with filling soup, shrimp dumplings, vegetable porridge with Chinese yam, corn and yam water chestnut cakes, vegetable crepes and egg rolls.
It all looked fabulously delicious.
Arvin had invited different kinds of chefs from time to time. Sven often brought his two sons to come over and have the meals with them.
Angela couldn't resist all the delicious food Arvin had prepared so she ate them all.
Unfortunately, she'd often vomit what she had eaten.
Seeing Angela throw up all day because of the pregnancy made Arvin feel terribly sorry for her and so he treated her like a precious gem. The whole family was around to serve her.
Later, Lily had people send some medicines to help with the pregnancy nausea. Every time Angela wanted to throw up, she would take a whiff of the medicine and the symptoms would subside.
Eventually, after she went through the nausea stage, Angela's appetite had improved a lot. Sometimes, she ate more than Arvin did.
Under Arvin's loving care and pampering, Angela's face and body had regained some weight. Arvin didn't mind her weight gain at all, instead, he liked the chubby version of Angela even more.
Sometimes, when she was not paying attention, Arvin would hold her round, soft body, which would make him feel as if he were in heaven.
After breakfast, Angela wiped her mouth clean. Arvin stood up and walked towards the kitchen.
When he came out of the kitchen, he was holding a glass bowl, in which a cluster of red grapes was soaked in some kind of a violet colored liquid.
Arvin looked at Angela with a smile, "The red grapes had just been brought back from America by air. I had kept them in fresh grape juice since they arrived. Try some. They're grape flavored."
So, these were the grape flavored red grapes.
