Livid Guardian's Endless Coddling

Chapter 459: One-sided love

Aria saw two men's faces and then checked the time on Alan's wristwatch. It was nearing her babies' dinner time, so "Dinner time of babies in half an hour." She meant to say they can't discuss it there.

First to react was Finn who went towards Ceon saying, "Give me a min."

Aria started a bet with Alan seeing Finn quick, "I bet he will come with us to see our Snow."

Alan twirled her before pulling her to his arms, "I bet he will come with us for his goddaughter."

Aria chuckled and gave up, "You win!"

Alan saw Finn who cued him towards the exist before moving there, "Our rest of the dance in the home."

Taking him towards Zara to bid her, Aria told his reason behind the dance, "I won't let you tear off this gown. Hmph." then she thought, 'I could easily change off before feeding our babies.'

In the Rolls Royce phantom, Finn took a shotgun seat, the couple sat in the back seats. First to speak was Aria, "Finn, first you tell me, how you offended Edgar Daves and why he is keeping track of your details?"

Finn didn't ask how she knew that because his and Aria team had close contact due to the military background. However, Alan's team was highly inconspicuous. "It started when he got to know I know you."

He explained how Edgar had behaved to get in contact with Aria and the only bridge between Aria or Morgan circle was Finn. Later Starlight suppressed Daves Entertainment in a month and outstood them in the latter days adding fuel to the fire.

Aria nodded and summarized, "He was just angry because you didn't introduce him to me. When the celebrities under him jumped to your company, he was pissed off seeing your growth. It's a business rivalry." She was glad she wasn't the actual reason.

Finn hummed and heard her mood shift, "Then why are you and Alan aren't fighting? You got 4 celebrities from his company."

Finn rolled his eyes looking ahead, "B list celebrities, thank you." Many had voluntarily jumped to his company while some were poached but the A and S list celebrities didn't budge from Morgan Industries offered whatsoever from the Starlight.

Aria then continued cheekily, "Then Morgan Industries got two best newcomers awards and an international model." Alan had instructed to recruit new ones and they had hit off soon.

Before two men beat her for a change in topic, Aria quickly jumped back, "Alan, why did you investigate Daves six years back?"

Alan really wanted to ask how she knows but he didn't ask, "They were suspicious and tried to know about your whereabouts repeatedly."

Finn countered, "The Skyline Empire is too huge for any other companies. The only heiress is Alia without notable kin. She was the whole country's business families' most wanted girl. So it was common."

Alan shook his head in denial with his statement. "They had planted moles in the company. The Board of members started creating ruckus before Dad's news was even out. We were busy with the funeral and other things when Chairman Daves had sneaked in the board of members calling everyone for a private meeting."

Aria had no idea about these things so she listened as she started joining all the dots. Alan continued, "Chairman Daves indoctrinated everyone believing Aria will be with Parker family due to Abel Parker's statement to the press."

Since the guardianship usually handed to kin, all thought Aria would be with Parker's family when only Aria and the Morgan family knew who would look after her.

"The weekend stopped the process of guardianship and my team found many suspicions about Dad's death. Aria's identity needed to be buried down so we didn't hold a press conference or released a statement that fueled the fire."

"As soon as the news was released that I had the authority over Aria's shares, ninety percent of the Board of members quieted because they had thought the Parker family would ruin the empire. Daves lost the tongue to speak and he hid away as a normal shareholder igniting some as I would fail to handle two companies."

Aria didn't want to even think about how Alan would have run between two companies at such a young age. 'Damn, he was just 22.' She thought and looked at him, "You still had the time in that mess to love me and propose to me. Are you really a human being?"

Alan bobbed her head and finished about Daves, "Then I managed to pull back our shares from him with a tight warning."

Finn really admired Alan after hearing the back story and seeing Aria happy and safe. He brushed his thought and asked, "Now you tell me, why are you asking all these?"

Aria revealed in simple words, "Edgar Daves's targets are you and Alan."

Finn and Alan silently sat and gave the thought about it. Finn was targeted because of Edgar's ego. The latter can't hit him directly so he was putting on an act to distracting then as though he was troubling all.

Alan was targeted because when he took the shares back, he had left the Daves companies with greater fall which failed to rise up to its fame again. 

Aria mumbled after five minutes, "Did Edgar forget me? Doesn't he know I wouldn't let him touch Alan? I feel like Edgar thinks of me as a useless wife depending on my husband. Tsk, poor me needs to get back to glory."

'Poor me?' Alan and Finn's lips twitched hearing her. Working from home, she was still beating many companies to depth and calling herself poor. Looking at her sitting with a pout, nobody could say she was a devil in an innocent-looking body for the work and such a delicate slender woman is a mother of twins.

In the Morgan mansion, Aria had to go by turn by turn seeing Finn stubborn to give Snow who was smiling playing with his hand. The obedient little fella went to sleep and the brat played with Finn without sleeping.

Aria had sneakily taken a picture of Snow and Finn when they fell asleep late into the night. Alan carried Snow to her crib and Aria seriously alerted Finn who was yawning walking towards the guest room, "Be ready for blind dates."

The sleepiness vanished, Finn stood and watched her for her sudden statement. Aria sighed and promptly responded, "Your one year time to decide is over. Grandfather Wen and Grandfather Harold will hold the whip and chase after me soon."

"But"

Aria cut him off, "I will not force you to marry anybody but you can't keep running away from girls... I am definitely going to kick your ass if you start any stupid rumors as you are dating any stupid actresses."

Finn tried to change her seriousness, "How about you start reverse Harem? I will be first in the line."

Aria chuckled slapping his arm, "Why do you love Snow so much that you are ready to become her second dad and get killed by my husband?"

Finn sighed, the woman in front of him can see when someone loves the other one but not who loves her. He so wished there was a reverse harem and he could marry her even if it's one-sided love.

"Alright but after I complete this acquisition and branching out." He responded for the blind date. He saw her nod in displeasure for not seeing him happy. "Go and sleep. I am tired too."

Next all started to make a list of girls for Finn.
