Chapter 376: Inferior

The three girls wanted to give a grand entry for the bride but she was missing so they went downstairs and entered together. The three men's eyes glued on them instantly.

The three girls were wearing different colored same patterned thigh-high slit slip dresses which were dazzling. They wanted to look like the bride's friends hence they were simple but their look was sultry.

In the deep V neck and body-hugging dress showed off their beauty beyond words but those brainless girls didn't know how hot and attractive they looked which lost the composure of their men and got the ogling stare of other single men.

'Crack' Three glass crashed on the ground one after the other and the girls were dragged out of the party hall in no time.

"What's wrong?"

"Isaac, I am wearing heels."

"Rian, let me go."

Alan spoke, "You are looking ugly in this, Change."

Isaac hissed, "Don't you have clothes? What are you wearing?"

Rian said through his teeth, "When did you start wearing these ugly dresses? Your usual style is amazing."

The girls believed it, "Do I look fat? Did I get a tummy?"

"I was thinking I look great in this. I like it."

"What do you mean? I don't look good in dresses and opt for pants and tops."

"Change it." Three said in unison and looked at each other. They sent them upstairs before breathing a sigh of relief.

The Hanes relatives from abroad who didn't know the three girls started asking around to know but Noah played along, "They are my friends. Aren't they gorgeous?"

"Very much."

Norah punched his stomach for sounding like three girls were single but Noah didn't allow her to clear their misunderstanding to have some real fun in the cocktail party.

The three men returned and waited for the girls to show up. The three girls chose stunning short dresses instead of gowns. After confirming asking each other, they went downstairs to the party hall.

Rian almost smashed the champagne flute on the counter seeing Roxy in a short bodycon slip dress, "I am going to kill my fiancée today." 

Isaac took a deep breath to relax checking out Eva in black and golden off the shoulder dress, "That was better than this."

Alan tilted his head thinking about how a dress could be so short that his wife's slender long spotless legs were too enticing on her high heels.

To increase their fury, the other four men went to the girls and the three men lost their composure.

"Hi, We are Norah's cousins. I'm Daniel."

"I'm Samir."

"I'm Tommy."

"I'm Charlie."

Three girls looked at each other and introduced themselves, "I'm Mrs. Alan Morgan."

"I'm Mrs. Isaac Ross."

"I'm Mrs. Rian Morgan."

Charlie, Tommy, Samir, and Daniel: "..."

The three men behind them were cooled down slightly while the rest of the party attendees were laughing looking at them. Rian patted one and got four's attention. "That's us."

The four were embarrassed and saw others laughing. Understanding they were tricked they wanted to clear it but three men pushed them aside and the girls disappeared for more than fifteen minutes before coming in different dresses with their husband in a grim look.

Eva and Roxy laughed looking at baby pink off the shoulder A-line short dress on Aria making her look like a little girl. Roxy and Aria controlled laughing looking at Eva's one sleeves knee-length blue dress making her look elderly. Roxy's dress was pretty too but it was full sleeves as if Rian was trying to hide her well.

Ceon pointed at them and said, "They are too possessive." Zara hummed, "Noah isn't any less. If Norah's dress slit was a little high, he would have taken the whole mansion on his head..." Without her knowing, she soon got along well with Ceon. Others purposefully didn't disturb them to let them have time. 

It was the same for Ceon, he understood Zara trusts people easily hence she purposely avoids people. He didn't point out which could make her uncomfortable so he continued to hear, dance, and watched others playing the drinking game.

The Fourie had planned the drinking challenge which they never have done but Isaac and Alan and looked at each other and remembered 'Chicken', so they replaced their wife. Other few men willingly joined and all looked at Moran who was deadly silent and Ceon.

"I'm good." Ceon didn't participate and saw Aria controlling her laughter remembering his and Finn's picture.

"My tolerance isn't good," Moran said and faintly smiled. Fourie looked at each other after seeing him sad. Noah signaled the other three to be calm and started their drinking challenge.

The rest of the women felt like puking as the competition went on. By the end, Alan and Isaac were left and Isaac plopped on the table while Aria curiously watched drunk Alan whose face was colored red.

It was two in the night when all went to their room. Eva was excitedly watching obedient Isaac doing everything she said. Roxy had handled drunk Rian many times before so she took him to bed. Aria started asking questions after helping him change. "Do you love me?" 

Alan hummed.

"Do you dislike me?" 

Alan knocked on her head and pulled her to embrace, "Dummy!"

Aria was momentarily speechless because he had drunk liters of alcohol and he was still the same, "Aren't you drunk?"

Alan handed her an empty packet of pre hangover pill leaving her dumbfounded. "My headaches" Alan complained. 

Aria sighed hearing that. The side effect of that pill was headaches. She gently pressed his head and he peacefully slept in her arms like a man who needed nothing other than his wife.

In the morning, Noah met Moran near the beach when he finished morning exercise. "Morning!"

"Groom is here to meet the bride's brother. What's up?"

Noah passed tender coconut to Moran going towards the lounge, "You say it. You seem to be lost in thoughts around us. What happened?

Moran shrugged and laid on his lounge tossing the coconut away.

Noah thought he didn't take him sincerely, "No, it wasn't only me, my friends noticed too. You are distracted. Is there a problem with the company?"

Moran shook his head but gave it a thought and asked, "Don't you guys feel like you have a loser around you?"

Noah chuckled hearing him, "Brother Mo, why are you looking down on yourself? And we never assess a person unless somebody behaves like..." The rest he murmured, "Your grandfather."

Moran and Noah low fived for the last word then Moran spoke, "You Fourie and Alan, and Isaac are so established and successful. I feel like I haven't done anything."

Noah understood he was feeling inferior around them but he or others never considered Moran Hanes was any less than them.
