Chapter 530: Dumpling

Aria who had purposefully ignored Rose hadn't stopped scolding Finn until Rose couldn't take it and blurted out pulling Aria aside, "Stop scolding him. It wasn't Finn, it was me."

"Oh!" Aria said and waited for her to apologize to the right person but they heard the knock before Alan pushed open the door.

Aria called him inside as she went next to him. Hooking her arm around Alan's, she spoke looking at Rose, "You girl, don't you dare try to become like me to steal my husband. There is only one Aria, that's me and Alan is mine."

Rose: "..."

Finn and Alan understood why she was framing it that way. Rose wanted to follow her path and try to become like her so Aria was trying to say she doesn't have to become like her.

"Your husband needs Rose, not Aria. So be Rose to Finn. If you eye my husband, I will kick your husband."

The husband will take the wife's punishment? Mother and Father Stanley at the door burst into laughter without understanding her logic.

Rose: "..."

She met Alan's eyes and gulped the non-existent saliva as she moved behind Finn mumbling, "Who dares to eye President Morgan?" Even though she said it, she understood what Aria was trying to say.

She wanted to be outstanding like Aria thinking she would be a good match to Finn and unknowingly she was following Aria's path forgetting her real self. She wasn't Aria, Finn doesn't love Aria but her. She scolded herself for being carried away.

She whispered, clutching Finn's hand, "Let's go to the hospital." She didn't want to talk about her behavior or apologize to Finn in front of Alan and Aria

Finn panicked hearing the word hospital, "Water broke? Are you uncomfortable? Do you have pain?..."

Rose pressed her hand on his lips to stop him panicking in front of others and shook her head. She again whispered, "You had told me that it's better to be in hospital when I am very close to the due date."

Finn understood his wife came back to her senses and became an obedient understanding wife. But he turned to the couple who had already started romancing, "President Cooper, I really doubt if I am my wife's husband or you."

Mother and father Stanley let out a breath of relief seeing everything fine with the mother and baby safe.

Aria threatened by seeing the couple leave, "Let me report to Eva that Rose is stealing me as her husband, she will put your wife in place."

Alan: "..."

'Why do married women take my wife as theirs? She is mine only.' Alan tightened his arm around his wife, scolding Rose in mind as a headless woman for giving work to his wife.

Rose awkwardly laughed, shaking her hands. She can't handle Eva's possessiveness so she was fine calling Aria her sister.

Aria whined in a low voice once things settled, "I am tired now." There goes her husband easily scooping her into his arms and instructed seriously yet affectionately, "Sleep, I will take you home."

Everyone else: "..."

She didn't know if she should behave in public and avoid using some words, 'Aren't we a little old for PDA?' She thought.

Since she was already in her husband's arms, she made everyone jealous, "My love is best."

Nonchalant Alan: "I know."

Everyone else: "..."

Aria giggled forgetting other media company reporters were outside.

The next day news about Rose's parents cornered with Aria and Alan giving almost no work to the Starlight PR department.

The video of Alan pulling Aria to his embrace and fondly talking to Aria while the May couple were fighting and the video of Alan carrying Aria to the car; were viral increasing the popularity of the couple. 

Of course, there will be negative too saying they were purposefully showing off which the couple didn't care about.

---

Now the countdown started for Rose to give natural birth. The Stanley family who was happy to know Rose's health is stable started to be anxious the next day seeing Rose active and water didn't break.

Rose went under scanning to make sure the baby was healthy and hadn't changed position in the womb.

Waiting till the end of the day, the doctor decided to intervene and asked permission to induce labor. 

Finn was thinking if the labor is induced in the evening, Rose wouldn't get much rest in the night. But they left the complete decision on Zeke and Winston who accepted to induce the labor as the late birth might affect the baby's heart and lungs.

Just in a few hours, Rose was sent to the labor ward, Finn followed her wearing the hospital gown while the rest waited outside.

Probably due to induced labor and natural birth, the Stanley and Wen family soon welcomed a baby boy. Even though they wished for a baby girl, their excitement wasn't any less, the happiest one among them was Rose.

Unable to stop themselves, the Morgan family ladies forced their husbands to go to the hospital. Arna left Rony and admired the tiny hands of the baby boy before asking Finn, "Darling, what is my little brother's name?"

All were surprised by hearing 'brother' from Snow. They had really expected Snow to pester them to call the baby Snow's groom. Finn carried Snow and asked, "I thought you will marry my son."

Snow shook her head decisively, "You are my Godfather, means a father. If Little Dad's son is my little brother, then your son is also my little brother too."

All wanted to say, she could actually marry the baby boy if she accepts four years of the age difference but they didn't feel it necessary to explain it now. She will eventually learn it, "Okay, then your little brother's name is Earl Stanley."

Arna nodded as she yawned due to drowsiness before asking excitedly, "Mamma said you named me Snow, shall I give a nickname to E-Earl?"

Finn actually wanted to turn down because she is a foodie like her mother and she will name Earl Popcorn if given a chance.

"Let me think." Snow said seriously before going to her father's arms to seriously discuss with him.

"Dad, how is Candy? She asked seriously.

Finn turned to Aria as he pointed at Arna, "No doubt she is your daughter."

All chuckled hearing him while Alan shook his head to his cute daughter and Arna continued to think.

It took ten minutes for Alan to divert her focus from food to other things while Finn was pale and he was glad Rose was sleeping else she would have really cried hearing Arna suggest names such as noodles, mango, dumpling.
