Livid Guardian's Endless Coddling

Chapter 126: No one can save you from me

Aria smiled. She knew Alan from a very good period of time so his tone was enough to tell he wasn't asking nonchalantly even though he tried to sound emotionless.

She climbed on the bed and pulled his cheeks, "Of course. Why? Do you want to hang in another's house?"

Alan smiled hearing her and embraced her kissing her forehead. He had thought Aria and Rian hate each other to even look in the face then he got to know they were very close and know each other well to the extent he regretted not meeting her when they were kids.

Aria continued in his embrace, "Rian and I are more like brothers. So don't think too much. Once Dad had told me that he will buy the dress which I design at any cost so I had said the same to Rian to challenge and encourage him even though I or Rian hardly know about promises, encouragement at that time. And he doesn't even consider me as a girl for your kind information."

It was Alan's turn to ask, "Aria! Do you really read a mind?"

Aria giggled and took his wallet to take his card, "I'm going to live you off."

Alan chuckled but took his card back.

Aria tried to take back "Hey, My account balance..."

Alan handed her black card which was in her name. "President Cooper, what you have spent on the painting isn't even 10 percent of your account balance. Have you ever checked the account balance?"

Alan knew she didn't care to check about the sales rate of her designed clothes and perfume sales and its contract amount. He wanted to laugh hearing her say 'account balance'.

Aria pouted instead, "Pinchpenny. What happens if I spend your money? Hmph."

She was leaving, he pulled her and back hugged, "Ms.Fiancee, my salary reaches your account every month. So who is pinchpenny here?" She wasn't taking any pocket money from anybody and Alan had failed to convince her.

Aria was stunned. 'Livid Prince, why are you behaving like a husband?'

She never checked her account credits and debits because it was monitored by Alan's team. She fished her mobile and to see ten digits. She smiled awkwardly and shoved the card back to him.

"I don't want anything. If I want I will ask you."

Alan who was handing the card back to her heard her say, "Money is the root cause of many problems and wrongdoings. I don't want."

Anyway, Alan coaxed her and handed her cards before they all returned to City B back to home.

Aria smartly transferred back his money saying it was his pocket money. Knowing she would send it back if he transfers, he didn't send.

While sitting in the classroom, Emma entered with a new joining student. The whole class couldn't understand why a new student arrived when there were just three months left for the end of academics and school.

Rian who was sleeping on the desk realized eyes on him and yawned glaring Noah, Aria, and Eva alternatively. "What's wrong with you guys?"

Aria grinned first pointing ahead, "Beauty, if you aren't spilling the beans today, I'll make sure you can't celebrate your birthday this weekend and curse me in your room when we go on the excursion."

Rian's lips twitched and saw the new student in bewilderment. "Crap, what the hell is she doing here?"

Roxy Stephen who was seeing the trio saw Rian's face and smiled vividly ignoring his darkened face.

The trio gave flying kisses to Rian to irritate and heard Roxy, "Teacher Hudson, Shall I sit with Aria Cooper?"

Noah, Eva, and Rian burst into laughter because they were expecting Rian's name.

Aria couldn't understand why she took her name.

Emma turned to Aria. She knew she shouldn't allow new people around Aria hence she objected on behalf of Aria.

"Our Fourie won't allow that. You can take the empty seat over there." Emma said with a faint smile pointed to another end of the room.

Hearing Rian, Noah, and Eva teasing, Aria smacked them and concentrated on their class but Rian badly wanted to punch Roxy seeing her checking him most of the time.

Noah pushed Aria towards Roxy during lunchtime "Arrie, go take care of your fan."

Aria had to give her timetable and brushed through about everything and was leaving, Roxy held her hand, "Aria... Can I call you Arrie?"

Since the whole class calls Arrie, Aria nodded and turned to leave but Roxy held her back.

"Arrie, You are a class representative and topper, I thought you could teach me if I sit with you. Can you help me cope up with studies?"

Aria furrowed her brows and released her hand, "Ms.Stephen, I don't think you should act up in front of me. Teacher Emma already told me about you and I organized your documents in the office."

Roxy was a year younger than them. Her previous school scores were almost perfect in every subject. While sorting out her documents with Emma, Aria had seen her IQ test reports. Her score was 140. Roxy was talented in many other fields too.

Roxy looked down and said directly, "I'm sorry. I actually want to spend time with you, know about you."

Aria didn't think too much about what she said, "Sorry! I already have lots on my plate to care about. You started off with a lie and I don't think I would like to give my time to you anymore." Aria turned to leave but paused and warned, "If you try to trick Rian having negative thoughts, trust me, no one can save you from me. Not even your IQ."

Roxy regretted lying but it was too late. She didn't expect Aria to be aware of her details in just half a day.

"Aria..."

Aria ignored her calling and went to the playing ground. Rian narrated whatever happened between him and Roxy.

Noah disclosed his secret rolling on the ground, "She took your first kiss without your permission."

Aria and Eva tried to look unaffected but burst into laughter making Rian blush. He hadn't told then that he had forced a kiss later because he thought Aria and Eva would kick his ass.

But Aria and Eva wouldn't have done it.
