Livid Guardian's Endless Coddling

Noor was slapping her cheeks while thinking about the question 'Do I like young master Morgan?' 

Noah, who had turned around with his cup of coffee, looked back at her. His forefinger poked her head looking at her flushed cheeks.

He wanted to ask what happened in just a few seconds that she was all pink. Anyway, he chose to give her time and added, "You can ask your Aunt Aria for help too."

However close they might be, when it's about love and complex feelings, he knew one won't be very comfortable with their parents. And he is aware Aria could give that comfort and help Noor even if Noor falls for somebody else. Noah still had that trust in Aria.

Noor giggled as she recalled what Aria had told her once, "Aunt Aria had said, she will dig out anybody I like even if she has to go against you."

Noah: "..."

Well, that's what they had done to get Norah. So he didn't doubt Aria won't do that again for his daughter.

Both father and daughter laughed heartily thinking of Aria before they quickly got into their morning routine and went to the breakfast table.

Norah noticed Noah was cool after speaking with Noor. Even though he didn't look happy, he was relaxed so she couldn't stop herself from thinking Noor might think of Arsh as a brother.

Poking his arm, "What happened?"

Noah glanced at his wife before letting her know, "I think I was just paranoid. If Arsh is capable of making Noor fall for him, so be it." At least he won't have to worry about Arsh troubling his daughter as he will keep his actions in check.

Norah was surprised to hear it. She had expected him to take many days while stopping Noor from meeting Arsh. Now she was curious what they spoke that changed Noah's thoughts.

Anyway, she was happy to get Noah back who supports love even if it's their own daughter.

Noor left to the office to reach on time as an employee of the company whereas Noah stayed behind to speak with his parents. Naira was escorted by the bodyguards to her filming site.

Noah saw his parents also excited and happy to know Arsh loves Noor and the latter was kept in the dark so that she could live freely without diversion.

Anyway, no word went out of the house to the Morgan family. So everything depended on how Arsh was going to woo Noor and Noor's decision.

At Morgan mansion,

Aria peeked at almost every nook and cranny in the mansion silently but didn't find the one she was searching for.

Alan who had sneakily watched over his wife was unsure if his wife turned dumb after getting their daughter back.

Seeing her sulk while getting ready, he flicked on her head, "Call her. She is not a little girl to ask your permission before leaving the house."

Snorting at her husband looking at his reflection in the mirror, Aria didn't accept his words, "I am not expecting her to ask my permission." She turned around and pinched his nose, "Just a bye. Is that too much to expect?"

Alan knew his wife wasn't so sensitive with others but with him and Arna. She knew to give complete independence to Arsh and Rooney also. Anyway, she never let Alan leave without a proper see-off. Similarly, she thought Arna might bid her even though the reason wasn't important.

Alan teased her to get her out of Arna's thoughts. Pulling her to his embrace, he wrapped his arms around her waist. "That's why I say, just think about your Love. Why do you care about somebody's wife?"

Aria chuckled, nodding her head vigorously, "Yes My Love. You never miss to live up to any of my expectations."

Anyway, before he could start flirting, she gave him a heads up, "And if I lose my project, I will make sure to think very highly of you and trouble you more."

Alan: "..."

He really wanted to tell her that she also wanted to see Ivan taking up the lead of a major project. "Trust our future son-in-law, Sweetheart. Trust him."

Aria was smiling at Alan thinking of Ivan when both realized something and looked at each other in dumbfounded.

Aria hit her forehead speaking both of their thoughts, "Snow definitely went to support Ivan. Is she thinking we are troubling him?"

Then Aria found Arna's message on her mobile.

At SquareMax hotel,

Arna rushed inside and reached the breakfast buffet right on time when Ivan was speaking with a middle-aged man who was with a young man and woman.

She admired her man for a few seconds. In a business suit, he looked tall and lean but couldn't tell he had trained his physique better than many male models who work with her.

She had thought she might eventually get attracted to different men hearing Ivan's rejection every time. Then she understood she had underestimated her own feelings for him.

Now, she will have all the time to openly court him and get an acceptance.

Not too late, she snorted, noticing the young woman was ogling Ivan. It wasn't a professional way to look at a vice President.

She identified the middle-aged man as the president, the big group at the table as his team, and the young man as a secretary. But the young lady was in more casual wear instead of formal.

'Is she a daughter of the president eyeing for Ivan? Mission save Ivan.' She started her own mission and breathed, standing in a simple formal dress from her mother's collection. It was stylish and trendy, yet gave off the professional look.

Holding his breakfast plate, Ivan was about to take a seat with the President when Ivan's secretary ran up to him and whispered next to his ear. His simple formal smile flattened to a thin line before his secretary could complete his words.

Placing his plate down, Ivan turned towards another entry of the hotel and saw Arna walking towards him.

"Excuse me for a minute, President. I will be back." Ivan excused himself and went towards Arna after his nod.

Arna smiled brightly when Ivan left the business clients to meet her. Anyway, his words made her unhappy instantly.
