Livid Guardian's Endless Coddling

In the car

Seeing Aria lost in thoughts, Alan rubbed her head, "What's wrong?"

"If mom had told Dad about their night, Saira Hayek would have still tried to do all these, isn't it?"

Alan understood what was actually going on in her head, "Yes. She just found this convenient. Mom must have tried to tease Dad taking that topic but I guess, Dad must have guessed who was with him else he wouldn't be confused or out of sorts when he got to know about Calvin or neglected him."

Aria nodded with a hum and changed the topic about him, "What if you go out and get drunk or somebody spikes your drink and gets on your bed? I don't think I'm so sweet to let you guys off. I might murder one and beat up another one."

Alan's lips twitched uncontrollably hearing her. "That's impractical. Even if my drink is spiked, I always have bodyguards in shadow to stop that woman."

Aria wasn't satisfied with the answer. She asked again, "Let's say she is already in your room. Your bodyguards don't go into the bedroom. Or let's say it's a place bodyguards aren't allowed."

Alan twisted her ear until she whined in pain, "What is the cipher of Alan and Aria?"

Aria held his hand away rubbing her ear as she responded, "Since there are two texts, I can go for Polyalphabetic. ACIN is the cipher."

Alan glanced at her and looked ahead. He thought she might take a few seconds to analyze the Vigenère table but his wife was a robot who didn't need time. "What is the binary value of 347?"

Aria rolled her eyes as she answered, "101011011"

Alan was proud of his wife who was so quick to answer. "Do you think just anybody could answer my questions like you? I will know even if I will be losing my mind with drugs. So Mrs. Alan Morgan, are you happy with the response?"

Aria found it convincing but didn't get to respond when Alan's hand moved on her neck, "I don't think anybody could have soft and tender meat."

Aria slapped his hand, "Perve…"

"You are shameless."

"Blatant man."

Both bantered who was shameless driving towards the Morgan mansion where Amelia was beating Rian for showing Eva and Aria's picture.

Whereas, Isaac was laughing his heart out hearing Madam Miller lecturing Eva thinking she was really interested in Aria and might be lezzy.

Eva sobbed failing to hang up the call trapped in Isaac's embrace. She struggled to turn off mute and roared, "Mom, I'm straight. I will eat your lovely son-in-law now. You can hear us as much as you want."

Isaac: "..."

Eva didn't let him react and pounced on him pinning him on the couch. Her mother flushed when she heard muffling on the other end hence she immediately hung up the call.

Eva left as many marks she wanted and bit him for laughing at her without caring about him saying 'I have a film shoot tomorrow.'

Later, Eva blamed herself for getting too excited because of her mother when Isaac devoured her to show what is actually meant by 'eat'

...

Noah went on a dinner date with his fiancee who was very eager to listen to how he had managed to pour foaming liquid to the fountain and how the Fourie were breaking rules without getting caught.

Sunday

Aria had a photoshoot for the bridal collection of Luke's designs. She reached the studio on time with Alan.

As soon as she entered, Luke was about to ask about her husband but paused looking at Alan and seeing Aria holding his hand. Aria knew his puzzle so she patiently introduced each other, "Luke, My husband Alan... Alan, Luke Baker, President of Aida."

Aria poked Luke who was still puzzled. "We are married three years back. Your last meeting problem was actually because I was angry."

Luke shook his hand with Alan in amusement trying to analyze and asked, "So whatever he said 'wife and all' at our lunch is actually true."

Aria nodded giving him time to digest the matter. Luke whispered, "If he is difficult to you or doesn't treat you well, you should leave him."

Aria controlled herself from punching him even though she knew he was just worried about her, "Love marriage, Luke. Relax. I'm totally alright. Due to some issues, we haven't published about us. Loosen up."

Luke composed and greeted Alan who was checking out the set, "President Morgan, pleased to meet you."

Alan saw Aria so he didn't give him the cold shoulder, "I heard your designs are a marvel. I am looking forward to seeing them."

Luke saw the couple and suggested, "Why don't you guys take wedding pictures? Since it's a bridal collection, I will not use the couple-pictures. You guys collect original copies."

Aria forced a smile, "That will delay the progress of the shoot."

Unknowingly, the wedding and wedding pictures became a sensitive topic for Aria. Noah, Rian, Eva, and Isaac had planned many types of couple wedding pictures for them and their pictures with them which were all ruined.

"It will not."

Alan spoke after Luke, "Sure, Thank you, President Baker. I will get someone to bring my tux."

Luke smiled and took Aria into the green room to get ready while Alan dialed Rian to send his tuxedo from the Morgan mansion.

She had just entered, Aria almost got scared seeing Ceon Davies on the couch. She patted on her chest and heard him. "President Cooper."

Aria faintly smiled, "Mr.Davis."

Luke looked at both. He had no idea when Ceon had entered the room. "Who allowed you in? Do you guys know each other?" It was a private shoot, no unnecessary people were allowed to be present due to Aria. Luke didn't study in City B so he was completely unaware of wealthy peoples of the society.

Ceon introduced himself, "I'm Ceon Davis, Maxion's friend. I came with him… President Cooper, I need a few minutes. I want to tell you something really important."

Aria checked the time and spoke, "You have to make it quick, I have to get ready… Luke, no need to arrange a different room, he will get ready here itself. Take rest, I will come to you."

Luke nodded and left after making sure all dresses were present. Ceon excused the makeup artist and hairstylist for a few minutes. Ceon was glad he finally got a chance to meet Aria in private and tell her about Finn.

"I wanted to talk to you about Finn. I have told him many times to talk to you directly but he didn't."
