Chapter 467: Will you kiss me?

Alan, who was uninterested to watch Roxy walking the aisle, noticed Arsh's face brighten up looking at the entrance. He knew well Arsh's most of the reactions were due to Aria so he turned to look at the entrance. The guests also noticed the person walking the aisle with the bride isn't a man who should be her father but it was… Aria Cooper.

Aria wasn't smiling but anybody could discern she was more than happy just by looking at her eyes and face and she was trying to suppress her presence next to Roxy. Aria was in a stylish half dress styled jumpsuit carrying her noble and elegance naturally.

Alan's fist clenched and unclenched watching Aria feeling twenty-five meters as the longest distance waiting for Aria to reach him quickly.

How much ever Roxy tried, she was still afraid of crowds and being judged. With that, she kind of missed having a father figure to walk the aisle. She had turned down the suggestion of walking with her mother so she called Aria at the neck of movement and was even ready to plead Aria but she agreed.

She had long accepted the fact that Aria wasn't only a sister but her whole family hence her happiness doubled to walk with her, as a sister or as her father figure. Hence two ladies in total contrasting colors walked the aisle.

Aria was momentarily confused about whether she should give Roxy's hand to Rian Or grab her Beauty's hand and place it on Roxy's because she wanted Roxy to pamper her would-be husband. However, the groom grabbed his bride's hand causing Aria to smile.'

Arna who was peeking at them murmured knowing she shouldn't grab attention from the bride and groom, "Little Mom, you look gorgeous."

Roxy smiled at her and averted her gaze back to the groom, "I love this dress." Yes, it was designed by Rian. He didn't select the theme because he liked it but it was for her Roxy. He was trying to make her the light in her dark world.

Arsh sweetly smiled at his mother who smiled back before going to Alan without revealing what was going on in her head. However, Alan's brows slightly raised looking at her face turn aloof as soon as she turned around from Arsh.

Alan's hand naturally raised for her, Aria held his hand and sat next to him before moving closer to his ear. While it looked intimate to others, her voice was grave.

"Edgar Daves in action. His ways are looking shady. Since the whole area is under control, there is nothing to worry about till the reception." 

Saying it Aria was backing off, Alan held her planting a kiss on her forehead. "Don't go around alone."

Aria hummed as her half of the back leaned on his shoulder as she spoke in the lowest tone that could be heard by Alan but they looked like they were watching the bride and groom.

"I mobilized all the groups and also Senior Xin. I don't care if he succeeds or fails, I will make him regret it if we find a single proof of his work against us. I am done with this bug." 

She was calm as a placid summer lake doesn't mean she would let off people bother their safety. Just because she is a mother of two doesn't mean she lost her vigor.

Three years they had watched Edgar Daves turning so very silent that it raised their suspicion higher. Now they realized he was waiting for his opportunity until they were distracted without knowing they never left the potential threat away from their ears.

It wasn't only the couple, Finn received information from his man and he alerted his whole team to stand by and took control before Edgar could do anything.

Since they weren't sure if Edgar knew about the little munchkins, they made sure the hotel was under tight security under four groups who were coordinated by Levi, Nathan, Dustin, and Wood's security.

The lively and warmness inside the wedding hall was stark opposite to deathly silence in hotel premises. It was the pure calmness before the storm however the wedding wasn't disturbed except three on high caution.

Since Rian had proposed to Roxy in front of all, Eva or Noah didn't probe about it and the wedding went in smiles, happy tears, applause, and vows.

Without adornments, it was a simple oath taken by Rian filled with emotions, "I, Rian Morgan, take you, Roxy Stephen, to be my wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do us part, in the presence of family and friends, I make this vow."

Roxy was all smiles when the wedding officiant asked her to take her oath, "I, Roxy Stephen, take you, Rian Morgan, to be my husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do us part and this is my solemn vow."

There was thunderous applause after the oath and all turned to the entrance where a little girl and a boy held a tray each and walked up to the bride and groom right after the officiant announced the ring ceremony.

The two little ones looked sweet and cute and brought smiles. While the guests were thinking who they were, each one jumped to the arms of their father making them gasp by the realization.

This wedding was full of surprises from the little ones running around to the wedding decoration and the newly wedded couples.

When it was the wedding kiss time, Noah buried Naira's face to his chest, Ivan heard his father and went to Arna who was excited to hear the kiss. Pouting, Arna shrugged Ivan's hands and peeked to get a good glimpse. 

Ivan flustered for failing to do what his father asked him to do. He was turning to Isaac for help but got the sight of Noah and Naira, Fidgety, he hugged Arna to stop her from seeing the kiss scene as he whispered, "Dad said we shouldn't watch it until we grow up."

Initially, Arna puffed her cheeks and was ready to push him away which made Ivan think she was going to push him to the floor in front of all. But she suddenly smiled wrapping her hands around him, "Then will you kiss me, Ivan?"

She blinked her big beautiful eyes which were full of mischief but Ivan's face turned red as a cherry. He didn't know where he found words but he uttered what his father taught, "Snow, we should grow up for that too."

Arna unwrapped her hand and pointed her cheek, "You know my darling, Dad, Momma, and all kisses my cheek. You can try it too." She turned her cheek to him.

Ivan blinked looking at her chubby soft cheek. He couldn't control himself so he lifted his hand and gently nudged her cheek.

A smile appeared on his face, greatly liking how he felt but he jolted by the thunderous applause as though he was caught stealing chocolate and ran away to his father leaving Arna dumbfounded without knowing whether he kissed her or poked her.

Arsh had turned to his parents who were sitting together holding their hands tight, he smiled when his mother smiled at him while the couple kissed so the duo didn't notice two little frame hugging.

Eva was celebrating and she was cent percent assured that Ivan will definitely like the shameless Snow looking at him burying his face on his father's shoulder.
