Trapped with a Doctor novel Chapter 68

Teresa stared at her son and wondered whether it was Angela or not.

When Arvin came out, Nita stood up from the sofa and came to him with a warm smile on her face. "Arvin, sorry to take up your time."

Arvin slightly nodded his head and answered, "It's fine. Do you have anything to do here?"

Nita picked up several shopping bags from the table and passed them to him. "When auntie and I were shopping tonight, I bought you a new watch and a belt. You may open the gifts and see if you like them."

Arvin looked at the two bags. At the moment, what he wanted to do was to drive them out of his house as soon as possible so he opened the bags and took the gifts out. He forced a smile and told her, "Thank you very much! I like them!"

Upon hearing this, Nita looked very happy. She exclaimed, "I'm glad that you like them! Auntie and I chose the watch together. Let me try it on you..."

"No, thanks! It's okay! I can do it by myself!" Arvin refused directly.

Since Nita knew that he was always squeamish, she didn't feel awkward at all. When she was about to say something, Teresa suddenly blurted out, "Arvin, I want to use your toilet."

Arvin paused for a few seconds. The others didn't notice his hesitation. He told his mom casually, "Mom, you know that I don't share my toilet with others. You can go and use the one in the guest room."

Their eyes met and Arvin seemed very unhappy. Teresa knew that her son was not delighted at the moment, so she didn't insist on this. In her attempt to set a lighter mood, she immediately smiled. "Look at yourself. Your father and I are not neat freaks. I have no idea of the reason why you are born like that!"

Aron went through the financial news in his phone and chimed in causally, "He is not like you and dad. Maybe he is like his future father-in-law and mother-in-law."

...

Arvin quickly glanced at Aron. If he could tell that the woman in the bedroom was Angela, he could become a prophet.

However, Nita's mother was also a little over the top. Finn worked in the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department before her retirement. As a doctor, she was indeed a little obsessed in keeping things in order.

Therefore, Nita thought that the person Aron hinted was her. Because of this, her lips curved into a smile. "I believe it doesn't matter. Most girls admire boys who look clean and tidy."

Arvin put his hands into his pockets and thought of the white shirt given to him by Angela. He wondered whether he admired a man like him or not.

Teresa noticed that Arvin was silent, so she finally decided to go home. She looked at him and smiled. "It's late now. Arvin, have a good rest. We are now leaving."

Arvin nodded his head.

Since Teresa said so, Nita was also forced to leave even though she wanted to stay with Arvin. Nita added, "Arvin, have a good night. We're leaving."

Arvin nodded his head without saying any word.

Nita got used to his aloof personality, so she didn't feel any sadness when she left Arvin's apartment.

Aron stood up from the sofa and walked toward the door with Teresa.

At the door, a pair of white sneakers attracted Aron's attention. The sneakers were very familiar. He thought that he has seen them before. At first, he thought it might belong to Arvin.

But when he looked closely, it was so small. It was definitely a girl's sneakers!

Aron stared back at Arvin in surprise. 'So, Arvin brought a... woman here?'

Arvin wondered why Aron stared at him in a suspicious way. He followed Aron's eyes and found Angela's sneakers.

It was a good thing that Teresa and Nita, who were changing their shoes, didn't notice the woman's sneakers...

Aron continued to process what he just saw and stopped changing his shoes. Suddenly, he said, "Mom, I feel very tired right now." He glanced at Arvin and told Teresa, "I'm not leaving. I'll—" Aron couldn't say it out loud but he thought that he wanted to sleep in Arvin's place tonight...

Arvin glared at Aron who was unable to speak at the moment.
