From the benign darkness came a familiar voice to Sven"s ears. "Brother, what are you doing home?"
Angela, who had just woken up from a shallow and restive sleep, pressed the ball of her palm into one of her eyes and stared at the figure of Sven out of perplexity.
"Angela, you"re awake? I came back because I forgot something. What are you doing downstairs?" Sven hesitated, "Should I tell my sister about Arvin"s call or not? What kind of brother would I be if I don"t?"
"I couldn"t sleep well. I was thirsty. I"m getting a drink of water." Presently, she went straight down to the kitchen to get herself a gla.s.s of lukewarm, limey water.
"Okay. That"s understandable. You"ve had a long, exciting week. You"re probably all jacked up from that still. But you do need to rest. So go upstairs and sleep." As she turned, Sven mulled it over one last time. He decided against familial ties, he wouldn"t tell his sister about the call.
Angela went back to her room upstairs, and when she got there, the phone was ringing out again. It was Arvin...
She didn"t answer her phone out of anxiety for what it portended. But sooner rather than later, a text message popped up from Arvin. The message was almost as cruel as a call in terms of the anxiety and stress it caused Angela. The message read: "If you don"t answer the phone, I"m going to C Country to talk to your mum!"
...
It started to ring again, and this time Angela answered. "What do you want?" she asked rudely. A little too rudely, so she added, "Director Gu."
"Angela, who allowed you to go on this blind date? Come back to my apartment immediately!" Angela, who still strove to wipe the sleeps out of her eyes, was confused. The words swum up into her consciousness and dashed away again, meaninglessly.
"What is he talking about? A blind date?" "What blind date? I"m sleeping at my home..."
Arvin"s anger disappeared upon hearing her soft spoken voice.
Impulsion is the devil"s sin! And that made Angela his weak spot! He wasn"t able to calm his pa.s.sions from exploding one by one. Especially not when they related to Angela.
"Okay! I was teased by Sven!"
"What blind date?" Angela asked him.
Arvin coughed and said, "Nothin
Falling from n.o.bility, Zen Luo became a humble slave and served as a human punchbag for his former cousins. Inadvertently, he found a way to refine himself into a weapon and a legend started because of that. With a strong belief in never surrender, he strove for revenges and pursued big dreams. Warriors from various clans contended for hegemony and the world was stirred. Relying on the body that was comparable to a powerful weapon, Zen beat his numerous enemies on his way to the immortality. Would he succeed eventually?
Arvin came back and held her in his arms.
"Angela."
"Yes..." She was still shy and felt embarra.s.sed.
Arvin enjoyed her smell, "Why are you with Fabian? And why do you hide from me?"
"What? No..." "Okay. He meant that night." She remembered that last time, Fabian insisted on sending her back home.
Later, she stopped talking. Arvin touched her face, "Stay away from Fabian and don"t hide from me anymore!"
If she could hide from him, she would not stay with him right now...
When she received Arvin"s call, she was so excited that she changed her clothes immediately and rushed out.
"Okay." She promised him since she knew she couldn"t hide from him.
Arvin held her in his arms tightly, "You must have poisoned me! Your love is too potent. How could I be so crazy about you!" He missed her so much in the one month they"d been apart.
"Why did you say that?" Angela raised her head and looked at his handsome jaw.
Arvin smiled at her and said nothing.
Now, their problem had been successfully solved.
He was not angry if she promised not hide from him any more...
The environment in the room was so beautiful and erotic that Angela couldn"t help holding him tightly and put her head on his chest.
She missed his embrace and his chest so much...
Late in the afternoon, they held each other"s hand and left City of Rose.
"Oh, my G.o.d!" Suddenly, Angela lowered her head... She ran into Daniel almost as soon as they left the hotel!
