Livid Guardian's Endless Coddling

Looking at Noor blush in embarrassment glancing at the side profile of Arsh, Arna commented sitting on the shotgun seat of the Maserati, "I think brother will break the ice."

Ivan shrugged simply indicating Arsh won't react.

Arna again sees Noor biting her lip anxiously, "Noor is a shy little girl. She won't dare to speak after rejecting brother." She turned to Ivan in horror, "She really did reject my brother. Damn, if he opens the door for me, I wouldn't think twice jumping in."

She knew her brother well. If he opened the car door for anybody other than the ladies of the Morgan family, it was Noor only, Naira never got that privilege. 

She smacked herself for never noticing the small details of her brother's reaction. And admired Noor for turning him down when there were numerous girls waiting for him to just look at them.

Quickly getting back to the heated sight of them, "What do you think? Do you think Noor will melt my brother?"

Ivan glanced at Arna before looking front. His fingers drummed the steering wheel while saying, "Your brother will burn my car if she looks at my car."

Arna took a few seconds before she burst into hearty laughter. Damn, she really felt like she missed too much staying away from them.

Noor, who thought Arsh would call her or at least glare at her, scratched her head in hoping he wasn't going to get angry. After taking a few deep breaths, she walked towards the car at a snail's pace and coughed lightly to clear her throat.

While the other couple enjoyed their actions missing the popcorn, Arsh was still cold as a block of ice. He was ready to open the door for her but not speak.

Unexpected to his thoughts, Noor's soft voice sounded asking him, "Shall I drive the car?"

One second,

Two seconds,

.

Five seconds,

The impatient ones were Arna and Ivan who just knew Noor said something.

Anyway, Noor had the whole world of patience to wait and saw him take the shotgun seat without a word. Noor breathed a sigh before taking the driver's seat and drove first with Maserati behind.

Arna and Ivan were speechless in their car while Noor was confused about what she should say. She was kind of used to making him angry before she realizes he was doing right and she went against him.

But unless she feels right, how could she follow him? So she glanced at Arsh before focusing on the road.

It repeated a few times until Arsh commented, "Am I more attractive than the road?" 

He wasn't in need of response and thought she would focus on the road. Noor who realized he was asking her to focus on the road subconsciously uttered, "No…" by perceiving the words like, 'Could you drive looking at me?'

Speechless, he finally laid his eyes on the girl. Noor realized her response, "No, no, no. I mean you are attractive." 

Upon realization she sounded like a flirt, her face flushed the second time, and shook her head, "Why are you comparing yourself with the road?"

Arsh looked at her flushed face for a few seconds before facing the road, "Because roads do look good."

Noor: "..."

She really wanted to ask what's wrong with you but controlled. She was thinking about why they played the task but Arsh changed the topic to what had happened to Chasley's laptop and how she worked on it. 

So the topic just went on connecting to different matters and ended up talking about the last book written by Eva Miller when they reached the Morgan mansion.

The duo alighted the car, and Maserati halted right behind them. They could already see Arna panicked as it was dinner time, Aria and Alan would be home.

Ivan alighted the car but Arna refused to get off and was even ready to stay low if in case one or the other one exits.

Just then, Rooney who returned dropping his girlfriend at the Stanley mansion saw Arna and knocked on the door, "Sister Snow…"

Arna instantly forgot her panic and alighted to meet her little brother who was beaming looking at her. Arna hugged him and tossed his messy hairstyle making it messier, "I missed my baby brother."

Even though Arna was slightly distracted, Arsh and Ivan knew the race of their hearts. It was overwhelming just by thinking how Arna might react after looking at Aria and Alan.

Will she purposefully throw hateful comments and run away?

Will she ignore them?

Will she greet them as a stranger or meet them as their spoiled daughter?

There were hundreds of speculations but they didn't want to lose hope. If things go out of hand, Arsh was even afraid his mother might get angry at him or probably silently cry to keep them unworried.

Noor noticed the two men edgy, asked in the lowest voice possible, "Are you planning something?"

Arsh glanced at her while Ivan responded, "What do you think?"

Two were nervous but hearing Ivan, Noor smiled, "I think everything's going to be alright."

Ivan merely smiled, if not today, he knew it wasn't going to happen in near future. He knew he could bound Arna by her parents' side with his words but he didn't want to compel her. All he could do was help Arsh to create the chance for Arna and her parents to stand face to face.

Arsh calmed down hearing Noor and seeing her smile of hope and anticipation. Noor doesn't know much about Arna other than what she heard from him or others, if she felt everything was going to be alright, Arsh too hoped the same even if there is going to be a huge drama.

If Arna doesn't take it positively, probably she won't visit or call anybody for a year and at worse, she might even pull the time longer and try to do something stupid to show she is strong to be alone.

But that was the panicked Arna from nine years back. Will she do the same?

They were uncertain.

Rooney who noticed Arsh cue him to keep talking faintly nodded at him without reacting much and kept Arna engaged in the talk. 

For Rooney, 'whatever my brother says is right' so he didn't bother about why Arsh asked him to do as such until he realized Aria's Mc Laren P1 car entering the gates of the mansion.
