Livid Guardian's Endless Coddling

Chapter 23: Prince Alan and Goddess Aria

Aria's smile widened as her eyes formed like two crescent moons which made his heart beat a little faster. As he heard her, his hand subconsciously raised to efface ice cream on her cheek.

"Exactly! That's what that user who posted must have wanted but we ruined their plan. So they failed in their own plan and we beautifully won showing off our bond."

Alan let out a chuckle, "Seems like Uncle Oliver prepared you well for the business."

Aria pouted and objected, "Nope! He always kept me away from the business. I saw and learned from Dad and Uncle Rowan."

He nodded, "So I will wait for you to take your position soon and show off your skills."

Aria was surprised to know Alan was so good with talk but it's a pity that he didn't like to talk. She humorously replied, "Oh! I thought to let Almighty President run business so that I can squander all the money."

Alan knew Aria's expenses weren't even fifty percent of what Rian spends in a month. She had her own label fashion line in Skyline Industries and a perfume production line in Morgan industries. Her personal account balance was in eight digits but still, her account statements were only credits and there were only a few debits.

"So you could do that too?" Alan asked. His captivating smile stayed on his face all the time surprising Nathan who was looking at him.

"Of course! If we make our mind, we can do anything." Aria proudly replied before chuckling.

Alan wanted to ask why she was still insecure having them around but let it off so that not to ruin her mood who looked happy talking with him...

Alan realized even he spoke a lot which he hadn't done with any female and he didn't feel boring or irritated talking with her. In fact, he found it interesting, fun and relaxing to have a conversation with Aria Cooper.

They continued to talk till she finished the ice cream. "Call me if anything... Do you have my number?"

Aria shook her head. Instead of giving his card, he extended his hand, "Mobile?"

"It's inside!" Aria pointed inside the classroom. "I will tell my number, you can ping me. I will save it."

Alan took out his mobile and dialed her number, "I have your number."

Aria nodded and saw him dialing twice. Alan continued, "The first number is my personal num..."

Aria cut in, "If an emergency, I have to call your private number and I shouldn't share it with anybody. The first-number missed call is for general and non-emergency things. I had heard about it from Rian a long back."

He rubbed her head adoringly, "Go in."

Aria nodded and was leaving but tugged his blazer. Alan who had turned around looked at his blazer hem where she was holding with her slender fingers and faced her raising his brow.

Aria said straightforwardly "Keep smiling! It suits you... Bye."

Alan looked at her entering inside the classroom and he left smiling. Alan's smile soon replaced with a poker face noticing Nathan peeking at him frequently. He got back to work soon.

Without Aria in front of him or without her thoughts, he couldn't and didn't smile for anything else which he realized soon.

At the end of the school time, Aria cried invisible tears due to a new post in the school forum. It was about shipping Prince Alan and goddess Aria. Many supported them, many were envious, many were cursing Aria for stealing their prince.

Yes! Their Prince.

She didn't mind about comments and students' views on her but she was attracting too much attention. Upon that, Rian teased her all the way to the morgan mansion and showed the picture to everyone. In that picture, Alan was pinching her cheek hearing her comment about business rivals.

She didn't think too much about it when Alan did but Amelia and Rian were partying with wine toasting to Aria for scolding Alan which made him realize to treat females well.

When she tried to stop them and ask Rowan for help, he added a line, "Aria, convince him to date too. Then I and your auntie will be worry-free." They were being tortured asking if their son was 'gay' due to rumors.

Aria: "..."

Aria wasn't even sure if she would meet Alan again. She was also doubtful if he would talk to her or his other personality of treating her like stranger starts. Hearing them, she drowned her wine and smiled awkwardly at them.

She saw them going on with quite a few bottles. Her tolerance wasn't that high hence she just watched them as she finished a big fruit platter.

Rowan had to take his drunk wife to their room. The housekeeper and Aria took Rian to his room before they went to their room to rest.

After laying on the bed, Aria gave it a thought who wants her and Rian to have a fight but she couldn't guess anybody on the list. She thought who could gain an advantage by defaming her but she didn't find the answer either. Having no answer, she thought to take it slowly and slept.

--

Aria who woke up and finished her Aerial Hammock exercise, kicked Rian to wake him who was flipping on the bed hugging a pillow whenever she tried to wake him up.

"Little Devil! How dare you?" He sat up and yelled keeping his eyes closed holding his head.

Aria stood in akimbo and threatened, "Did you forget you have to practice soccer from today at the school? Sleep again if you dare."

"Yeah yeah fine! I will not sleep." Rian said in an annoyed tone. He had hangover which made her sigh. She understood why the housekeeper gave her soup which was for the hangover, "Open your mouth."

Rian obediently drank as she fed him full bowl before He pinched her cheeks and entered the bathroom, "Hey cheer girl, Go and get ready."

Aria pouted and went to her room. She was forced to be part of a cheerleading group by Noah and Rian. Eva had secretly written her name on the list.

In the selection process, the student committee didn't even check Aria's flexibility or participated in the test to check her moves but her name was on the final list.

Yes! Credit goes to Jake Davis.

Both got ready and left after eating a very light breakfast. After reaching, both started their own practice.

The PE teacher who went to check on the eleven cheerleaders frowned looking at Isla who was wearing a cheerleader outfit that looked more like cosplay dress whereas others were wearing school gym wear.

"Isla! Don't you know what to wear for training?" PE teacher grimly asked.
