Chapter 122: I'm not safe anywhere

Alan hadn't expected that coming. He obediently ate as he worked. He had seen her feeding to Rian sometimes especially when he used to be in hangover but he never thought one day she would also feed him.

'Hmmm... advantages of having fiancee living with me.' He thought to himself and pulled her arm down to kiss her cheek after finishing his dinner but both heard clumsy footsteps near the door.

Aria jumped down from the desk. Both saw and heard Amelia laughing awkwardly.

Seeing Alan roll his eyes getting back on work without kissing, Amelia screwed Rowan, "Rowan, why did you push me? Why do you always interfere? Boring man..."

Aria facepalmed herself and flicked on Alan's head who was working.

She was leaving seeing him busy but Amelia took her away to the sunroom. Aria didn't go deep into their date and just briefed.

Then Aria was extremely embarrassed hearing Amelia say about how she should keep Alan interested in her.

"... Arrie, you are so bold and daring. You don't have to be shy in the relationship either. You know he is an uninterested man, why don't you take initiative? There is nothing wrong with a girl leading. Don't let him work and go to sleep just like that. Ask him to rest with..."

'Uninterested? He wouldn't mind eating me alive.' Aria thought to herself and continued to hear Amelia who was indirectly saying her to cuddle, kiss and other things like going on more dates, on outings etcetera.

"Mum, do you like grandchild so much? Why are you asking me to seduce your son?"

Amelia paused and asked doubtfully, "Did I sound like that?"

Aria nodded helplessly thinking Amelia wouldn't continue but she was completely wrong.

"If that happens, then get married next day itself. I love kids."

Aria's mouth was wide open looking at Amelia in a stupor.

Amelia thought otherwise, "If you don't like before marriage, take him to the marriage bureau soon and then seduce him."

Pfft-

Aria laughed awkwardly and left waving her hand. 'Wow! I have such an open-minded mother in law.'

Amelia gave it a thought and mumbled, "Isn't that's what they show in drama nowadays? Why do Alan and Aria aren't like them?..."

Amelia didn't want to be like mother or mother in law as in dramas who opposes everything. And she loved many leads characters of romantic dramas expecting Aria and Alan to be like them.

Amelia hit her own forehead, "Why do I have boring people around me?" She went to Rowan and complained about the duo who didn't listen to her.

Rowan was rendered speechless. After coaxing and cuddling his wife to sleep, he went to meet Alan who was in the study room.

Seeing Alan waiting for him to speak, Rowan was embarrassed. He couldn't understand how Amelia easily said it to Alan and Aria.

Rowan lightly coughed the fourth time to clear his throat before speaking but heard Alan ask, "Dad, what's the matter?"

Rowan put on a straight face, "Aria is very young. Let her complete education and take over Skyline Industries. So don't listen to your mother."

Alan's brows raised unintentionally. He knew Amelia had taken Aria for some private talk. Hearing ambiguous mentioning of the things, he easily deduced to what Rowan wanted to say.

Alan nodded and spoke to let Rowan relax, "Do you think I'll care about that? There is nothing important than Aria and her future. Dad, stop worrying unnecessarily."

Rowan breathed a sigh of relief and went to bed peacefully.

Alan checked on Aria who was going to bed. He took her to his room as he asked unemotionally, "What were you talking with mom?"

Aria didn't hide, "Mum asked me to seduce you."

Alan laid on the bed and pulled her to his arms, "Then when are you doing it?"

Aria tried to be calm and raised up from his arms to face him. Alan's eyes instantly darkened without understanding what she was up to. Because she was always too shy to get near him.

Aria was about to kiss and Alan was about to stop her thinking she was taking his mom seriously but Aria giggled pinching his cheek having no idea what he was thinking.

Alan realized she diverted him and he didn't notice her hand. He was relieved knowing she wasn't dumb after all to hear and follow his mother's craziness.

To know her reaction, he pinned her on the bed going on top of her. His husky voice sounded as he caressed her cheek, "Tempting me?"

Aria's eyes were widened and tried to push him off, "Alan! I was kidding... Alan."

Alan was actually very happy with her reaction. Yet he teased her flushed face for sometime before laying back on the bed.

Aria buried her red face to him as she punched him quite a few times. Her muffled voice sounded, "I should move into your villa. You wouldn't do anything to me. Hmph."

She had noticed him not getting close to her in his villa and he didn't care about other places wherever they stayed with family.

Alan licked his lips yearning for more. "Are you asking me to do in my villa too or something more?... Sure. As you wish."

Aria froze before recovering, 'I'm not safe anywhere.' "I'm leaving."

She got up but he easily pulled her back and she spoke again, "Why do you always have to win? Why do you have a reply to everything?"

Alan chuckled hearing her complain and cuddled her sleep.

Rian had left for capital a day early for the youth festival. Aria, Eva, and Rian were going the next day with Amelia and Rowan.

First full day four enjoyed the live music of different young artists and tried different cuisines from young chefs and scored them accordingly.

Rian had met many other artists in his field and he knew a few artists beforehand.

"Rian Morgan?" A girl's voice sounded tuneful attracting everyone around Rian.

Rian casually turned to see a girl in black tights and leather jackets. Her long curled hair highlighted her soft facial features.

"Yes?" He was unemotional.

A beautiful smile appeared on the girl's face as she extended her hand introducing herself, "Roxy Stephen."

Many around them started to whisper. Rian also knew who was Roxy Stephen but never had seen her.

She was a well-known calligrapher and painter whose art bids at a very good price as Rian's paintings.

Rian nodded and shook her hand but he frowned seeing her still holding directing a smile at him. He tried to free his hand but Roxy Stephen had no plans to leave.
