Chapter 610: Shirtless

Since Noor took the confession topic, Aria continued about her and Alan so that Noor shouldn't misunderstand the awkwardness. They continued their walk at the speed of the turtle as she glanced towards Alan. 

As though there was a telepathic messenger, he lifted his head and looked at her. There was no smile on his face but she knew he was delighted to catch her eyes on him. 

"My Guardian, livid at that." She looked back to Noor, "When I got clues, I had told Evvie and she had laughed at me, teased me as your friends did to you. But when Alan actually confessed to me, there was no confusion, I was young so there was a little awkwardness but those weren't ones that would make me stay away from him."

Noor nodded a few times as she understood, she doesn't have to avoid Arsh just because she felt awkward. The topic was getting heavy for her as she discerned one after the other.

Understanding is different from how one feels it. Yet, she felt she shouldn't avoid Arsh.

'Oh gosh, what is wrong with me?' She couldn't believe Arsh started to stay on her mind all the time.

Anyway, it didn't take long to hit the negative side, "Aunt Aria, what if I am overthinking and assuming everything?" Then she won't be able to face Arsh again in her life and it felt hard to digest.

Aria again paused with her. It was inevitable to get negative thoughts. She also had lots of negative thoughts until Alan confessed to her. She felt Noor was no different too.

"Then why didn't you overthink in the past years?" Aria asked, tilting her head at Noor. She could say there were words on Noor's tongue, 'but' and 'if.'

Aria continued without adding in more confusion, "In our business, we always have risk factors but we analyze if want to take that risk or if the project is worth the risk."

This part, Noor understood easily so she nodded. Aria continued, "So you have to think if that person is worth the risk. Since you already know that person, you have to trust yourself before deciding what to do."

Noor took a few seconds before nodding her head. She was relieved Aria didn't tell her to date as her friends had suggested to her. "I will take it more time and decide." Then she took a step forward and hugged Aria, "Thank you, Aunt Aria. You are my savior."

Aria chuckled as she wrapped her arm back and rubbed her head.

At the other end, "Bro, Big Mom is better at picking girls than you. Don't you think so?" Rooney teased Arsh as he pointed at the two ladies. 

Arsh: "..."

He kicked his brother before throwing his line back, "Hence your girlfriend cuddles my mother before smacking your head."

Rooney: "..."

All chucked hearing him while Alan looked at his wife. What can he do other than sharing his wife with little ones? His wife is a good mother and a friend to everyone.

Rian teased his brother, "Damn, if bro hadn't stolen her, I would have got a chance to see her stealing every guys' heart."

This time Alan kicked Rian's chair and all burst into laughter welcoming the two ladies with smiles.

"Having fun without us?" Aria asked, squinting her eyes at everyone.

Rian pulled her to sit and asked in curiosity, "Little Devil, if you get a chance to go back in the past and get an opportunity to pick a new partner who will you choose?"

The rest glanced at Alan who was thirsting for Rian's blood. Then they turned to Aria who said, "Then I need to give it a thought."

Alan's eyes narrowed at Aria and the rest were eager to listen to her. Aria turned to Alan and asked, "Alan, wasn't he handsome?"

Everyone saw Alan's sinister smile while asking, "Who?" They gulped as though they were the ones who confessed to Aria and Alan was going to skin them alive. 

Rian was enjoying it so he let Aria continue, "The one who was too bold and confessed to me right in front of you."

Arsh: "..."

If that had happened, his father would have beheaded that man. His mother was talking about her husband.

Taken over by jealousy that someone left a little memory in her mind, Alan questioned, determined to bury him in the earth, "Where?" 

"Cemetery." Aria sweetly said.

Everyone: "..."

Alan realized it was him, of course, his wife would choose him every time. Thinking to punish her in the bedroom for tricking him, he crossed his legs and smugly responded, "Yeah, he is perfect for you."

"I feel so too." Aria giggled while others were speechless to the core by the narcissistic couple. 

Rian stood up and held Roxy's hand, helping her stand, "My eyes and ears are stuffed, let's get inside."

Bursting into laughter, Aria glanced at Noor who was smiling listening to them. Then she looked at Arsh and Rooney. She picked Rooney so that Noor won't be flushing all the time, "Roo, could you please drop Noor home? It's too late."

Rooney winked at his brother to tease, "I am stealing your wife." and stood up. Noor bid everyone before Rooney held her shoulders and pushed her away from the group, "Did you confess to my Big mom that you love her?" He placed the foundation to tease her.

Noor lifted her eyebrow at him. Her friend never misses to tease her.  "She already knows it." 

She thought it was the end but Rooney continued pretending to be thinking, "Then whose love did you confess to Big Mom? Does he have six-pack abs or eight?"

Noor almost choked on her spit when her mind tried to recall shirtless Arsh. She couldn't believe she was imagining Arsh when Rooney just mentioned as 'he.'

Rooney burst into laughter seeing her flustered, so she lifted her handbag and chased after him to beat, "Rooney, I am not going back until I beat you." She announced which made him laugh more.

"Noor, how many do you like? six or eight? Or nothing? Or do you like potbelly?" Rooney continued to tease her while she hissed repeatedly, "Rooney…"

It was very common for Morgans so they just smiled going inside the mansion.
