Livid Guardian's Endless Coddling

"Somebody pushed me while passing by me. I wanted to scream to let others know but snow went to my throat and coughed while rolling down.

By the time I could stop myself on the slope, I got hurt and had reached mid-level of the mountain. Since the blood flow wasn't stopping, I pressed snow which clotted blood but the pain increased due to cold. Then I shouted loudly if anybody was near and saw three men running towards me but I heard them saying, 'Catch her' So I understood they were trying to get me.

I removed the skis and tied a wooden block to make them think I skied down by the marks and hid in the trunk quickly covering with my jacket. I wanted to exit after they left but I heard wolves howling sound so I didn't come out."

Aria who plainly briefed pinched his cheek who looked worried and said comically, "And you came and got me."

Alan smiled and pinched her cheeks back until they turned red. He knew well she would be frightened yet she managed to fool them holding her pain and was explaining as if it wasn't any big deal.

Rubbing her cheeks, Aria asked, "By the way, why did you come here? You had a very important client meeting today."

Alan made her face him and said rather seriously about the purpose behind his visit, "I will not ask every second of your life. But at least I want a proper conversation at the end of the day no matter how small. I will not occupy your personal space but at least I want to be a small and irreplaceable part of your life."

Aria understood he was missing her but she had thought he would get angry for ignoring him. She couldn't understand why she was so very important to him and always gives in to her silly tantrums.

Even though he never said 'I love you' he never missed making her feel special and important part of his life. She felt those three words don't have to say out either.

Alan who waited to hear her agree knocked on her head seeing her look at him blankly.

"Ouch!" Aria rubbed on her head.

He twisted her ear ignoring her scream. "Why do you always go silent when I say something serious?"

"Alan... Leave my ear... Livid Prince, just now you were so sweet. Why the hell did you ruin my moment? Let go..."

"Oh!" Alan left and pressed on her ear seeing her glare him. He realized, she was smitten by his words and he ruined. He thought about what he said but nothing seemed special.

'Why was she attracted? Such a simpleton.'

Aria spoke grimly making him freeze, "You are such a big man, 'President Morgan' You can't fit in a small part of my life."

Alan badly wanted to knock her head but glared at her.

Aria giggled and completed stretching her hands in the air, "You are a big part of my life." she finished prolonging the 'big' melting his heart instantly.

Alan's eyes were on her beautiful smile which curled his lips up. He cupped her face as he said, "Your this smile is mine only."

Alan again repeated seeing her smile more hearing him, "This one too"

Aria giggled seeing him happy just by her smile.

After coddling her more, they soon left in their private jet making sure other students boarded the plane which Alan had booked tickets instead of speed rail.

Later the Fourie got to know they were going on vacation to some island making them all cheer up.

After about six hours they reached the island and routed by car. They were welcomed by a warm and surprised smile at the beach house.

"Brother Isaac, why didn't you tell us you had such a beautiful beach villa. Everything looks surreal." Rian exclaimed as he entered and looked around.

It was Isaac's stark white gorgeous glass beach house. All teenagers were stunned looking at it

Isaac just smiled at him and saw Eva looking at him and smile as a greeting before joining the other two boys to check around.

"Arrie, why are you two showing off?"

Aria pouted in Alan's arms who carried her in, "Your wife is very naggy and overbearing. I just got a little cut but I started feeling like my leg is cut."

Aria rubbed her head when Alan bopped her. Isaac checked on her wound and sent her to the other three who were savoring views outside.

"I thought only you are coming." Isaac only knew Alan was going when he had received the call.

Alan didn't reply and watched the teenagers playing around.

Isaac reframed, "How did you end up in the northern region and how did Aria got hurt?"

Alan briefed about Aria's incident, "... How can that man be so powerful and smart to carry out without leaving any evidence?"

Isaac analyzed and asked doubtfully, "I think somebody who knows Aria or somebody who is close to Aria is doing all these and that is making you guys ignore them. What do you think?"

Alan hummed, "That somebody knows her but not really. Somebody who is close yet distant."

Both men talked for a while until it was dinner time. After dinner, Aria didn't let Alan work and made him accompany all when they played and chatted.

It was half-past eleven. Aria, Eva, Noah were asleep in the living hall seeing Rian, Isaac, and Alan still facing off.

Isaac helped Eva to her room who drowsily walked and laid on the bed.

Rian kicked Noah to wake up and those two had to share the room.

Alan carried Aria to one of the rooms. After making sure she was asleep, he opened his laptop to work and wanted to work all night to accompany Aria during the day but Aria who woke up in the middle of the night pulled him to sleep.

Alan's people who checked every possibility to know about the visitor who harmed Aria were failed to get any proper proof with just color of clothes Aria or other student's saw.

Alan felt he wasn't competent enough to protect Aria from them. He decided to tag along if she goes on to such crowded public places.
