Chapter 479: Coax Aunty Rose

Three sat for breakfast and dug in looking at varieties of dishes on the table. Arsh who had just spoken to his mother and father tugged Arna's hand, "Dad wants to talk to you."

Arna grabbed the mobile and showered all her love like here was no tomorrow, "Hello, Dad, Mwa, I miss you Dad, I love you so much. Did you sleep well? Did you eat or run around Momma? Or did Momma feed you miss us? Get pampered by Momma until we come back then I will take you out on a date without Momma. We will eat yummy dishes and send pictures to Momma and tease her..."

She paused, "No wait, actually momma knows the best places to take us then you if I go with you, won't momma enjoy with Brother Nemo…"

Finn, Arsh, and Rose: "..."

The trio just watched her continuously blabber for more than two minutes and to their surprise they didn't feel like the other end had plans to stop her.

While the little one continued, Rose tugged Finn's sleeves, "President Stanley, do little kids are so smart and talkative at such a young age?" She asked in a low voice going near him.

Finn had to close some more distance to hear her whisper. He shrugged, "I only know these two well. I didn't meet Zoe much."

Rose again continued, "I am not sure but I feel like they are too smart for their age."

Finn wanted to laugh when he countered without moving from his position, "Yet you get fooled by the little girl and dance on her terms."

Feeling wronged, she turned to Finn and blurted out, "Even you hear her each word despite knowing she acts cute to get it."

Hearing a sudden tone change to a little grim lady erasing the respect of the President, he turned to her and both realized their close distance. 

Finn had no changes but Rose blushed bright red. He misidentified as Rose was embarrassed looking at her widened big round eyes.

Arna pouted at Arsh for reporting everything to Alan and the latter strictly warned her to just enjoy without doing anything. Alan didn't want the babies to be cupid, he just created a chance for Rose after hearing Aria say Rose might be still liking Finn.

She saw Rose and Finn face each other at a very close distance and cut in her father's words, "Dad, believe me. Aunty Rose really likes my Darling. If she marries my Darling, then I don't have to worry about meeting him whenever I want."

Rose, Finn: "..." 

Arsh had started breakfast without care. Rose sat like she was sitting on a chair full of nails. Finn didn't know if it was true or Arna was playing them. 'Rose likes me? She cries if I grunt.' For Finn, Rose is a little lamb who cries out for a small yell at her.

How smart Arna maybe, she didn't realize her words' effect and continued, "Aunty Rose is too shy, shier than my Momma. If she is like me, she would have told my Darling but she blushes red like... " She pointed to the tomato on the table and stated, "Tomato. So I have to help them. Now praise me. Am I not smart? Smarter than brother Nemo?"

Arna waited for a few seconds but there was no reply before she asked, "Dad, did you hear me? Did you get to know I was going to ask for a remote control car? Dad? Dad, are you there?"

Finn and Rose: "..."

Rose couldn't believe she was sold out for a remote control car. She didn't dare to turn to Finn having no heart to see the scowl on his face. She was nearly in tears thinking Finn was going to throw her out.

Finn's lips opened and closed like a golden fish without knowing what to say or what to even think. But his eyes landed on Rose hoping she shouldn't start crying if Arna was pranking. As he guessed, she had clutched her dress hem tight, her eyes filled looking at the table.

Arna was about to hang up the call feeling depressed for missing the remote control car when she heard Aria's voice, [My baby, my honey, my sweetheart…]

Arna jumped off the chair and looked around in the villa, "Momma, I didn't bully Aunty Rose... Brother Nemo can vouch for me."

Arsh glanced at her and feigned ignorance indicating he wasn't going to lie.

Before Arna start coaxing, Aria chuckled and asked, [Baby you are the smartest of all. If Aunty Rose cries, ask Uncle Finn to coax. No more mischief with them, alright?]

Arna face fell hearing no word of remote control car, "Momma…" She dragged each word sweetly and heard, "If my little baby behaves well, she will get her favorite car soon."

Then Arna showered all her love on her mother and even whispered that she is better than Dad before hanging up the call to see Rose crying and Finn passing paper towels.

Finn couldn't understand why she cries for everything, "She is a kid, don't take her seriously? Stop crying."

Rose dabbed the tissue and asked, "Are you kicking me out?"

Finn: "..."

Rose saw his blank face and cried, "I- I- I didn't mean to-"

Finn passed the tissue pulling two at a time having no words to say. 

Arna saw them and was confused why Aunty Rose was crying and even her mother knew it, She tugged her brother, "Brother Nemo, what happened?"

Arsh ignored her and continued to eat. Arna sat on her chair without understanding why Rose was crying, "Darling, why did you make Aunty cry? I will not complain to Momma, so quickly coax Aunty Rose."

Finn pointed to himself and asked in bewilderment, "Me?" he was being blamed for doing nothing. He really wanted to explain to her but how was going to do it.

If he says, Rose doesn't like him, Arna would ask, 'Does Aunty Rose hate you?' and the questions will limitlessly grow and the crying lady will continue to weep.

Accepting the blame, he nodded, "Okay Okay" Then he saw Rose who was sniffling in fear about how she was going to walk from the villa to the city. Are there cab services in that area? Should she call for help?

Arna hit her fist on the table and passed the verdict thinking Finn doesn't know to coax, "Hug aunty and pat her back."

To Finn's bewilderment, he actually moved next to Rose and patted her back leaning her on him.

Frozen Rose: "..."
