Trapped with a Doctor novel Chapter 36

"The two must have something going on!" According to his careful observation, Arvin really took the initiative in coming over to Angela's house.

In the dinning room, Angela secretly dialed Lily's number. "How have you been, grandma?"

Lily was pleased to hear from Angela. "You remembered me, my little sweetheart!"

"Of course. Well, I've got one thing to ask you, grandma."

"Feel free to say it."

Angela peered at Sven and Arvin, who was seated around the table. "What does Arvin like to eat, grandma?"

Her question made Lily's eyes lighten up. 'She cared about Arvin! That's a good news!' Lily replied, "Arvin likes nothing special, but he does have something he dislikes."

Angela was so thrilled that she'd like to hit her own thigh. That was exactly what she wanted to know. "So, what is the food that he doesn't like?"

"Arvin doesn't like red-cooked pork, cilantro, eggplant..." Lily was glad to tell Angela all she knew about Arvin's dislikes in food, meat and vegetables.

Angela snickered, "Okay, I got it. Thank you, grandma!"

"Is Avrin with you, Angela?"

"Yes, grandma. My mum's hurrying me and we are going to have dinner soon. I have to go. I'll visit you when I'm free!"

Lily agreed, "Okay. You should go."

"Bye!"

...

After ending the call, Angela walked towards the dining table, where everybody was already seated. Chuck was seated on the main seat, with Daisy on his right hand and Sven on his left. Arvin was seated next to Sven.

Angela's eyes rolled. She moved towards Sven and clutched his sleeves as she smiled innocently at him. "Could you move and sit with mum, Sven? It's rare that Director Gu came to our home. As one of his employees, I need to ensure that he's well treated in our home."

Her words successfully drew everyone's attention.

Earlier, she drove Arvin away, but now she changed her mind and didn't want him to go?

Sven stood up without a second thought and sat next to Daisy. As what Angela had wished, she sat beside Arvin.

It seemed like Arvin curved the corner of his mouth. There was a saying, The weasel goes to pay his respects to the hen - not with the best of intentions.

It was a great dinner tonight. Daisy had cooked eight dishes and prepared two bowls of soup.

Angela's eyes lightened up when she saw some dishes with meat, two of these weren't Arvin's favorite.

She picked up a piece of red-cooked pork and put it to Arvin's plate, "You deal with a lot of problems every day, Director Gu. You've had a hard time. You should treat youself with some meat to supplement some nutrition! Suit yourself..."

...

Everyone around the table felt a sense of weirdness. Chuck narrowed his eyes at her daughter's pleased face as he observed her closely. "Why is my little girl so attentive to this man?"

Daisy, as well, was wondering what was going on with her daughter.

Sven picked up a piece of red-cooked pork too and waited for something fun to happen. As far as he knew, Arvin did not like red-cooked pork at all.

Arvin was looking at that pork for nearly half a minute.

Angela tilted her head and looked at Arvin's blank expression. She certainly felt good about herself.
