Chapter 227: I don't love her

Ceon Davis was a carefree man who liked to enjoy his life but after meeting a girl who hadn't cared about him, he was totally in love with her but he didn't know who she was and he was searching for her.

During this time his father was trying to set him up with Aria Cooper.

Davies had the largest Textile and fabric manufacturing unit. Ceon's brother was married and had established his own publishing firm so he wasn't ready to look after the Davies Textiles and fabric.

His father was forcing him to take over giving up his hopes on Ceon's older brother. 

During the time of Aria Cooper and Alan Morgan fall outs, his father eagerly got the contract from Skyline to meet Aria but hadn't got the chance to even see her.

Hence he purposefully delayed the consignment and created some mess so that Aria could visit him because she didn't meet him at Skyline and other higher-ups handled him every time.

He was very courteous to get into her good books so that Ceon and Aria could get together.

But Aria was Aria. She had done the investigation before stepping inside their company. She knew his father's intentions. She didn't spare a glance and listed the unfollowed clauses of their contract and left after warning him sternly.

Ceon understands Finn to a certain level and he could say Finn wasn't the same after five years. Even though Finn wasn't as cheerful as him, he wasn't living in a shell stopping himself from having fun.

Finn had firmly stopped any visitors other than his family and Ceon had dropped there without prior notice. Finn had warned him to keep about Aria studying in Country S a secret.

During his visit, he had seen the completely new side of Finn with Aria while cooking with her, completing their college work, talking with her and had even heard him making silly comments.

Finn's abrupt plan of studying abroad for five years was already shocking. Seeing him with Aria, his doubt had started. But Finn never left a space for him to ask about it. 

"Do you love President Cooper?" Ceon bluntly asked Finn.

Finn's brief change in his wasn't noticed by him. "Are you tired of finding different girls for me that you are taking her name?"

Ceon's lips twitched. It was true he tried to set him with many girls of different types seeing him show distaste to everyone.

"My Dad is trying to set me up with President Cooper."

Finn nodded indifferently.

Plan 1: Failed

"Were you guys in a relationship and broke up with her?"

"Do I look like one to become a friend with an ex?"

"So you are scared to become her ex."

"No"

"Are you scared you will lose her after confessing?"

Finn had almost hummed. "I have already confessed to her…"

Ceon widened his eyes thinking Aria had rejected Finn but Finn continued, "... That she is crazy."

Pfft-

Plan 2: Failed.

"Are you keeping that bimbo to hide your feelings from President Cooper?"

"No."

"Then why are you letting the rumors escalate?"

Finn was done with his questionnaire and slammed on the brakes. "Get out."

Ceon chuckled and leaned back on his seat, "Finn, You just had to say No when I asked do you love President Cooper. Why is it hard for you to say it?... Because your conscience wouldn't let you say it."

He poked on his chest, "This isn't letting you say it."

Finn held the steering wheel tight, "Are you drunk? Why will I love anybody? Find your love, not mine."

Ceon chuckled again, "I think it's perfect time you should confess to President Cooper. She doesn't have anybody now."

Finn frowned, "I don't love her. Happy. Now, just shut your mouth and sit else Scram."

Even though Finn just said it stop Ceon from talking about Aria, he felt a sharp pain in his heart hearing himself.

Ceon again provoked, "Do you know? You never lost your cool and calmness in front of anybody but Aria Cooper is an exception. Whether your emotions with her or hearing about her is completely different."

Finn alighted and went to the shotgun seat. He pulled Ceon out and was returning to the driver seat while Ceon spoke.

"Are you still going to deny that Aria Cooper doesn't affect your emotions? Even after throwing me off the car at this hour away from the city where I don't even get cabs."

Finn froze.

His consistent try to keep his secret failed him miserably.

He had to just say no and move on the topic but…

He turned to see Ceon who was smiling widely indicating he finally caught him. 

Plan: Success

"Let's go, you need some more drinks." Ceon hopped in first saying it.

Finn punched his fist on his car top and got in. They soon reached Finn's private villa.

It was a villa specially built for Finn by Skyline Industries. The architecture was based on Finn's taste. He and Aria both designed interior and exterior while they were in country S.

Finn had seen Aria studying the basics of Architecture to design a villa for Rian to gift him after his graduation so he had spoken to her and designed with her.

His requirements were high technological contemporary building with energy-saving high standards, maximum comfort, and low costs throughout the four seasons. Other requirements were white, spacious, and minimal with a large pool and patio.

Aria had teased him saying penny pinch but after they had designed and asked the professional to get them a three-dimensional video and the miniature, She liked it more than him.

The complete decor was in white with a long swimming pool and patios. Aria added minute interior decor items in different colors to avoid making in look too pale.

Ceon went around the villa before settling on the couch where Finn had already drowned a few glasses.

"Skyline built this, isn't it?"

Finn just hummed.

"Bro, ask your fri… Your love to build me a unique villa too."

'Crack'

Finn crushed the glass which was in his hand.

Ceon gulped looking at his dark face. It had really been a long time he had seen Finn angered so much.

He regretted saying 'Your love' to Aria.

They were a typical group of boys having spoiled heirs who used 'My love' to flirt any girl which Finn never cared about but hearing the same for Aria, he lost his cool.

Ceon tried to manage in his panic-stricken tone, "I swear I wasn't disrespecting your love or President Cooper. I said with good intention."

Ceon started praying Finn doesn't break his bones.
