Livid Guardian's Endless Coddling

Chapter 577: Swear to the heavens

Arsh didn't look like he had any plans to control his brother and sister so Noor vigorously shook her head and tried to get up but the brats pulled her back.

They showed her the pictures of many men asking her for her opinion. Her face was flushed bright red as a tomato for seeing many half-naked top models and country S celebrities in Arna's social media profile. 

Rooney felt a cold run down his spine. He saw his brother giving a death glare for showing half-naked men to Noor. So he quickly pushed Snow's mobile away.

"Let's forget them. Since Brother Ivan rejected Sister Snow, how about a date with him? Do you like him?" Rooney probed.

Snow: "..."

Despite knowing they were playing the little sweet sister-in-law, she grounded her teeth, itching to punch her little brother.

Noor was too quick to shake her head, "No, no. He is like an elder brother to me."

An evil smile carved Arna and Rooney's face. They didn't notice Noah and Norah had entered the mansion with Aria and Rian and heard their last lines.

"Then how about my brother? He is dying single." finally, Arna asked.

Arsh felt hard to maintain his aloof composure while all the eyes were on him at once, including Noor. He felt the footsteps coming closure and had the intuition their day won't end smoothly.

A soft pink flush crept up Noor's face. After hearing Naira in the morning, she hadn't believed Naira's words but while driving her car she had thought what if it was true.

'What if Arsh really loves me?' That question had lingered in her mind for a few minutes.

But she didn't know the response to it. If she has to weigh him against many men, Arsh indeed was best among all of them. But that won't make them compatible with each other. 

She didn't know they would make a good pair, she never in dreams thought of her and Arsh as a couple so it was difficult for her to come to any conclusion with just that line.

Arsh never touched her, looked at her with any other intention. He helped her when she asked, listened to her, and spent a pretty good time with him. That's it, there was no action which she could feel he was doing out of affection.

Now hearing the same thing in a question, she turned to Arsh who still sat as though they weren't talking about him.

'How could Sister Naira think so?' She dispersed her thoughts and looked at Arna and Rooney.

"Why are you guys teasing me?" She didn't answer the question because she didn't have one.

Aria who noticed Noah's frowns was quick to interject, "Why are you two bullying my little girl?"

She went up to them and pulled Noor away from two who were disappointed. Standing by Aria, Noor complained to Aria to bully the other two, "Aunt Aria, these two were showing me shirtless men for a blind date."

Arna and Rooney both looked at each other and at Noor's parents. Both frantically tried to clear the air, "Aunt and Uncle, we were just kidding." Both added in unison, "We swear to the heavens."

Noah and Norah weakly smiled at them. They were still apologetic but Aria and Rian had asked them to chill up, not to bring it up again.

Noor was chuckling when Norah added, "Arrie, this younger daughter of mine is comfortable and behaves like young here. That's why I say, she is more of your daughter than mine."

Norah was quick to ease up whereas Noah had a lot of things going on in his head.

Alan and Arsh looked at each other many times due to Noah's behavior. They knew it wasn't because of Naira but Noor. Noah was too protective of Noor, if he gets to know that Arsh actually loves Noor, he won't be a cool father and even ban Noor from stepping into the Morgan mansion.

For Noah, probably none would be good enough to suit his younger daughter.

.

Both the families had dinner together and went to the lawn with desserts and a fruit platter.

Rian who had controlled himself from asking Noah wasn't able to keep that question for too long. If Noor was their pride, Arsh was the Morgan family's pride and honor.

"Noah, what's bothering you?" He asked.

Rian had the idea everyone held their breaths excluding Norah and Noor who probably had no idea about it.

Noah wanted to voice it but paused. After a really long time, he noticed he had the total attention of Alan and Arsh who most of the time behave indifferently.

He changed his way of addressing the problem, "May I have a word with Brother Alan and" His gaze stopped at Arsh who nodded accurately knowing he was going to take his name. "Arsh" That name faded away.

Alan patted Aria's hand when she clutched his arm tight, silently asking him should help Arsh as much as they could, to get Noor and convince Noah.

Whereas Norah loves Arsh. Noor was Arsh's responsibility to convince her, woo her and get an acceptance.

Alan pecked on Aria's forehead, "Don't worry. I will be back." He said in a low voice but still audible to all.

Aria smiled at him before catching the eyes of her son who had the determination. She nodded at him as encouragement before turning to Noah.

If her gaze was cheering Arsh, her gaze did the opposite to Noah even though it was warm without any threatening gaze.

Anyway, Noah looked away and followed Arsh next to Alan. They didn't go inside the mansion but aside, where other seating arrangements were there with less number of chairs.

"Aunt Aria, Uncle Rian, what's going on?" Noor asked because those two looked like they were aware of what was going on.

Norah had seen Noah worried and in deep thought all day. She had thought it was because of what Naira did to Arna. Now she felt like there was something else.

'Arsh?' She turned to Roxy who was absentmindedly munching the fruits, "Roxy, is it true what I am thinking?"

Roxy turned to Norah, she found a Silverline of happiness in her eyes so Roxy smiled, "Yeah But I didn't expect your husband to be dissatisfied with our Nemo."

Norah was happy to know her younger daughter has somebody who loves her and also get the amazing Morgan family. 

However, she won't leave her husband's side so easily. Hence she stayed mum without responding.

Now excluding Noor, all were aware of what was going on while Aria diverted Noor from that topic. 

Aria or anybody didn't want to take away the special moment of Arsh's confession to Noor.
