Chapter 421: Joyous lighthearted and fun

Aria who got no response shook Rose and brought her back from the daze, "Are you unwell? What's wrong? Are you dizzy? why are you sleeping here?" Then she turned behind to Alan, "Love, hangover soup."

Alan nodded and went to the kitchen so that she could handle Rose who looked out of sorts. Rose's eyes widened hearing it and seeing Alan enter the kitchen.

"President Cooper, I am fine. No need to do all this. I am already embarrassed that I troubled you two. I should be the one serving you two." Rose uttered out in fluster.

Aria helped her to get up and spoke, "It's alright, I will help him in the kitchen, you need a shower." Sending her... Nope, forcing her to the bathroom, Aria and Alan cooked breakfast and soup for Rose. The couple used the powder room before sitting for a late breakfast.

Rose watched the couple as she silently ate and remarked at last, "I am so envious of you two."

Aria chuckled while Alan had a straight face as though it didn't matter to them. He wanted the whole world to be envious of them anyway.

"You will get one to pamper you. Then make everyone jealous." Aria tried to cheer her and earned a glare from her husband. 'Such a baby.' Of course, she wasn't going to be jealous of another couple, it was just to put some hope in the girl.

After making sure Rose was fine, the couple went to the Morgan mansion after like twenty days. "My young lady, come here, come here..."

Aria quickly left Alan's side and sat next to Amelia who was knitting a scarf, "Mum, teach me, I want to learn..." She just knew the basics of it and Amelia was very good with many patterns.

Amelia ignored her words because she didn't want Aria to learn, instead, she wanted her to rest if she got time. Amelia tried the length of the scarf wrapping warmly around her neck, "My young lady, are you losing weight?"

Aria pouted and turned to Alan who nonchalantly sat knowing she was going to blame him, "Mum, If I gain just a little more weight, I will have to change the whole wardrobe. Your son feeds me like a pig."

Rowan just smiled, Rian who was drowned in the tab raised his head to watch her, and instructed his brother, "Bro, make your piglet fluffy and round, she is so skinny."

Aria: "..."

Roxy who was lively till she came sat emotionlessly glaring at Aria. She couldn't understand how Aria is everyone's favorite irrespective of whether she spends time with them or not.

She spends more time with Amelia, Rowan yet as soon as they see Aria, they blossom like a flower that didn't have the sun to bloom. Even the scarf that was in Amelia's hand went to Aria who hadn't met them for so long and she was helping Amelia, accompanied her most of the time.

Roxy had received a call and a few messages from Aria after they had returned to the country but she hadn't responded to any. Now she felt like Aria reached to steal the show when she was the one who had to be cherished.

She didn't realize she was envious of Aria but blamed the latter for others loving her ignoring Amelia or Rowan wasn't biased. They knew and grew old as Aria grew up around them and it was how they were with Aria whether in the past or now.

Other than Alan, nobody knew Roxy was angered on Aria and she wasn't talking with her. The latter had coaxed his wife to give her time so that she doesn't worry unnecessarily. He didn't miss to notice how Roxy was behaving.

Amelia chuckled hearing Aria and pinched her cheeks, "Alan, feed your beautiful pig more and make her..."

Rian completed Amelia's line, "your sweet Little bunny..." He paused while Aria was speechless thinking why everyone wants her to become fluffy, Alan thought about feeding her more.

Rian threw his tablet away and excitedly announced, "Little Devil, I want to recreate our childhood pictures. if not all, most of it. Eva and Noah would love it too."

Aria liked it too and they hadn't met for a very long time so she nodded vigorously, "We haven't met for so long. Are we meeting today?"

The two austere tones sounded together with different words. Amelia grimly said thinking she was leaving them so soon: "You are staying here tonight."

Alan who wanted to stay with her was already annoyed to share her with his parents, now the Fourie caused him to order her, "You are not going anywhere."

Aria: "..."

Rian burst into laughter and Rowan chuckled with the housekeeper. The latter spoke, "Young madam, Madam was complaining to the Master that you forgot her and isn't meeting her. You two should make sometime often."

Aria nodded when she was dragged away by her husband, "We will come often. I want chicken, lots of chicken for lunch... Alaaan..."

All laughed looking at Alan throwing her over his shoulder when taking the stairs, Rian watched Roxy and shook his head. If he does, one, he will lose his hands, two, Roxy will break his bone.

Amelia grumbled looking at Rian and Roxy, "Look at you guys behave like an old couple. Learn from them." She sounded as if they were sitting and fighting with each other or on bad terms.

Rian asked directly, "Mom, you want us to romance openly so that you can watch us and enjoy, isn't it?"

Amelia grinned ear to ear while Rowan pulled her away from them. Amelia added as she followed her husband, "See my husband is more romantic than you."

Rowan regretted taking her away from them, he wanted her to stop messing the brains of their son. Given a chance, Amelia would love all the young couples flirting and romancing around her without getting bored.

---

The whole day, Aria and Roxy passed by each other in the mansion but both didn't bother to spare a word for each other and it was noticed by Rian when they had dinner and planned to watch a movie in the home.

If it was a time earlier, Roxy would take Aria with her and sit with Amelia to talk about the romantic scenes but the couples sat together to watch a romantic movie. By the end of the movie, Amelia and Aria were asleep leaning on their husband, Roxy was wide awake who didn't watch the movie instead thought about how to make space in the hearts of the Morgan family.

Rian who finally got a chance to speak in the bedroom tried to make conversation, "Did you fight with Little devil?"

Roxy misjudged his question, her anger due to jealousy vented over Rian, "What do you mean? I am one who goes and fights with her. Oh for you all, Aria is a goddess who never makes a mistake and I am the one who creates all the troubles."

Rian furrowed his brows and also realized Roxy and Aria weren't on good terms. Roxy never fought or raised her tone and always understood what he actually meant. Her sudden outburst made him realize she was burying too much to herself.

He knew arguing doesn't work hence he went to the seething Roxy and embraced her without a word, "Shhh... I didn't mean that. It's alright."

Roxy tried to push him away in anger but he was holding her tighter and she gave up before hugging him back. Rian silently accompanied her without a word waiting for her to speak.

Roxy tried to keep everything to herself but failed after some time and started crying, "You and Arrie have so many promises, memories and grew up together, I don't have any."

Rian faintly smiled realizing she was insecure and envious of Aria. He didn't stop her or spoke, he stood still just embracing her, letting her express everything.

Roxy sniffled as she continued tightening her arms around him, "I was so scared in country X, she didn't wake me up to see you, it was the nurse who woke me up. You are so close to her and I don't have anyone other than you. Wouldn't I look after you well? Why does she have to check on you repeatedly to make sure you are fine?"

Roxy released herself from his hug, she wiped her tears taking a tissue, and sat down on the bed as she continued while Rian kept rubbing her back to calm her down, "I was so worried and you were fine and sleeping but they had ordered doctors to keep about your health information to themselves until they came, doesn't she understand what I go through during that time?"

Roxy tried to calm herself but she cried on getting an outlet to let off any worries and pain she had in her. Rian wasn't the type who would tell how he feels or what he wants, He decides what to tell and what not without burdening or hurting himself but he had tried to keep her open to him at least but she wasn't used to it and never spoke up.

He many times wanted to talk to her about it but didn't want to force her either. It was the same with Amelia, Roxy lived independently for many years, they didn't want to make her feel caged or restricted by them hence they always made sure to keep her comfortable and wait till she opens up about herself but she wasn't that type.

Roxy continued wiping her face, "Am I hateful? All like Arrie but not me. I do everything yet, there is an invisible line between everyone but when Arrie is around, everything becomes joyous, lighthearted, and fun. I also feel like she is taking you away from me and wants the whole family for herself."

Rian heard her quietly without getting angry or irritated, She wasn't just envious of Aria because people around her loved her, Roxy was actually jealous of her character which she can't have it. And he knew it was very important for her to know how they differ from each other without irking her.
