Chapter 382: Calm before the storm

In city B

Alan soon returned back and went to Skyline Industries instead of Morgan Industries. Aria was in a meeting when he entered the conference room and drew her to embrace without a word. 

He was finally relieved that his wife doesn't have to live in fear and could do whatever she likes, go wherever she wishes without worry.

Levi took clients away who were looking at them in surprise. They had just heard the couple have an immeasurable connection and love each other to no end. They got to witness a little.

Aria raised her head to face him and asked cheekily, "Missed me?"

Alan hummed even though it was just ten hours they were apart. "Let's go home, I have something to recount to you and others."

Aria could say he was absolutely delightful looking him in the eye, "Looks like my wife is pregnant, why are you so happy?"

Alan hummed while thinking, "Let's put a bun in your womb soon."

Aria was really astonished hearing it, "Wow, you really seem to be pleased. Why just three months of freedom? I thought I could get a year or two to romance with you and keep you just for me."

"As you prefer." He just wants his wife, nothing else mattered. He mentioned it because she took the topic. Carrying her in his arms, he heard her ask, "Do you want a baby boy or baby girl?"

Alan didn't even think before saying, "I just want you."

She knew well her husband keeps her foremost of everything. Even though she didn't know what he was actually happy about, she didn't push him to tell instead both sweet-talked sitting in the back seat of the car letting the driver cry with excess dog food.

At Morgan Mansion

After entering inside, Aria saw Isaac, Levi, and Finn present in the living hall. Alan had called them because they closely followed the case. 

Rian asked by lifting his brow, 'What is going on Little devil?'

Aria didn't know hence she shrugged. She was going to Amelia, Alan tugged her to him playing a video on the smart television for everyone to watch.

The calmest among them were Aria and Alan. In the end, Alan spoke, "Grandfather Parker's first wife doesn't exist. His second wife is the first wife, mother of Abel parker. He created the imaginary first wife so that nobody looks down on Mom Emily or calls her as an adopted child."

All nodded and looked at Aria. She just knew and wanted to execute the one who is behind her father's death and nothing else. She doesn't want the Morse family even if Terrence was in jail. She looked at Curtis and asked, "Grandfather, Will it be alright if I don't want to take any responsibility for the Morse family and I don't want to have any association with them either?"

All had thought she wouldn't be able to take such huge information, seeing her accept the truth and voicing her opinion, all turned to Curtis.

If Emily grew up in the Morse family, he might have been disappointed by Aria's question but now he wasn't disappointed instead he really pitied she got such relatives and suffered so much. Instead of saying it was alright, he ordered, "You better don't think about Morse family. I am not sending you to any other family."

Aria chuckled hearing him, "Accepted heartily."

All breathed a sigh of relief but Rian probed, "Little devil, why don't you take your shares and send the income to our orphanage? That headless Patrick Morse will ruin it."

Aria's lips twitched hearing him, "No... I don't want my name linking with Morse in any way."

"Ooookie" He dragged it and relaxed.

Finn sighed a breath of relief inwardly and asked about the coming plan, "So how are you planning to end all this?"

All looked at Aria and Alan. The latter spoke, "We hadn't done much to Jasper Madison so we will warn him and leave. Saira Hayek will be fine after the treatment..."

Aria cut in, "I am hiring the best advocate against Terence Morse for the death penalty. I will not accept lifetime imprisonment."

All fell silent and Levi voiced another problem, "President Cooper, we didn't find who blackmailed you to back off the wedding and the father of Kite Parker is unknown."

Alan glanced at Rian who looked away from him. Alan somehow knew Rian knew who was behind it but he was waiting for him to speak voluntarily but didn't expect he was still stalling it.

Rian wasn't sure how Alan or others would react knowing the culprit behind it so he couldn't make his mind to reveal the truth. He didn't want to lie so he controlled himself and avoided the topic every time.

Aria didn't talk about the first one. She had thought Terrence Morse might be Kite's father but he wasn't. He got to know Oliver just ten years back. "I will ask Saira Hayek once she gets her senses back and stable. For now, ask everyone to rest and have fun."

Levi stood up after it, "Sure President Cooper, I will leave if I don't have any other instruction."

Aria nodded, "Thank you."

Isaac who was silent as the mouse voiced his thoughts, "Did everything finally solve? I feel like something big is going to happen? It's like a calm before the storm feeling for me."

Everyone's lips twitched hearing him, Aria who was relaxed straightened her back and pointed him for Alan like a little girl asking his father to punish her brother. The latter spoke, "I feel the same for your life."

Isaac: "..."

The rest burst into laughter. Finn stayed for dinner with them and Isaac left for his villa. Aria then brushed about the Morse family to Eva and Noah so they could stop worrying about her.

...

Occupying seventy percent of the bed lying on it haphazardly, Aria was dreaming with her eyes open. If Terrence Morse wasn't in her life, she would be happy living her life with all, her Dad and Alan. Nobody would have worried so much about her.

Alan who exited the bathroom saw her grinning to herself, going on top of her, he nibbled her lips as he asked, "What's cooking in your mind, Mrs. Alan Morgan?"

Aria rolled on top of him and responded, "If Dad was alive and if you hadn't become my livid guardian, I was imagining how we would have met and got together."

"Let me hear it." Alan started teasing her senses asking for the story.
