Trapped with a Doctor novel Chapter 325

Sherwood held Arvin's arm and said, "Dad, I know one more blessing idiom." 'Because mom has taught us a lot of good phrases, ' thought Sherwood.

Arvin raised his brows and looked at Sherwood curiously. 'These witty kids! How could they have learned so many idioms at the age of two? Someone must have taught them very well.'

Arvin guessed that the back seat driver might have been his wife, Aron, or Lulu.

Arvin was right about the former, because the woman was now in his bedroom, hiding herself under the quilt and chuckling.

"Dad, I wish you to be perfect in every respect!" said Sherwood.

Arvin handed a red pocket money to Sherwood.

Sherman said excitedly, "May everything in life go as you wish!"

Wanda saw that her two younger brothers had already collected many red pockets, but she didn't know any more blessing words. "Waah...waah..." She burst into tears.

Arvin patted her little head and gave her one more red pocket to comfort her. "Don't cry, I will give you one more."

The little girl stopped crying almost instantly. This amused the adults there a lot.

After they had successfully tricked Arvin, the three kids turned around and were about to leave to do their washings. But Arvin stopped them and pointed at the closed door of Aron's bedroom and asked, "Do you want more red pockets?"

The twins looked into the direction Arvin was pointing at and instantly understood what he had meant. They then took Wanda along to knock on Aron's door and said loudly, "Uncle Aron, it's morning. Time to get up..."

Arvin closed the door behind him and slipped into the quilt. He dragged and held the chuckling woman into his arms. Looking at the crafty smile on her face, Arvin knew that the back seat driver was indeed Angela!

"Babe, how dare you conspire with the kids to trick me?" Arvin said as he moved his fingers playfully on her shoulders.

Angela screamed and slapped his hand away, and said, "Get out of the bed now! It's the first day of Spring Festival."

It was rare for Arvin to have the chance to get up late from bed, so he held his wife and enjoyed a few more moments of romance with her in bed. Then, they reluctantly got out of the bed.

In the bedroom next door, Aron hadn't expected the kids to trick him like that, so he hadn't prepared enough red pockets for them. In the end, as the kids gazed at him with anticipation, Aron straight away took out a bundle of cash and divided it between the three of them.

The three kids joyfully clutched their red pockets and money as they went into Lulu's bedroom.

In Lulu's bedroom, Lulu stood in front of the three witty kids and stretched out her hands to them and said, "Come on, we had an agreement that you will share half of your red pockets with me."

It was Lulu who had advised the kids to go and ask for red pockets from Arvin and Aron in the early morning. Then, it was Angela who had taught them the blessing words so that they could ask for more money.

Wanda didn't quite understand the concept of money yet, so when Lulu stretched out her hands, Wanda immediately gave her all the cash she had.

Sherwood pulled out one of the red pockets he had and handed it to Lulu. Lulu clutched the thick pocket. When she realized that there was a good amount of money in it, she smiled with satisfaction.

Sherman did the same as his younger brother and gave Lulu one of the red pockets.

Lulu said delightedly to them, "Lovely babies, remember your next target is Uncle Rom. Understand?"

"Yes, Auntie Lulu!" answered the three kids in harmony.

Rom Gu was living in another place together with his wife and his child, for the convenience of his work. They would always come back to the Gu family's house to greet the elders on the first day of the Spring Festival.

When Arvin and Angela came downstairs, they saw everyone there talking and laughing happily with each other.

As the oldest person in the Gu family, Lily Mei gave each of the family members a red pocket as a blessing to them.

But of course, she gave the thickest red pockets to the kids rather than the adults.

This was the happiest Spring Festival for Arvin, because he was finally able to spend the festival with his wife and his children, and other members of his family. He kept smiling the whole day.

After the tenth day of the first lunar month, Arvin sponsored Malcolm for a concert in J City.

Angela and Arvin, Nancy and Stanley, Aron and Martha, Derrick and Mandy, as well as Gage and his fiancee Janice Deng, were seated at the VVIP section.

During the concert, Angela and Janice ran to the stage and gave a bouquet of flowers to Malcolm. Arvin and Gage were both green with envy to see that.
