Chapter 621: Early celebration

Noor's face turned pink at her thought of loving Arsh. She shook her head in mind and replaced that love with the like as a friend or mentor.

Before the other three could ask her anything, she asked them concerning anger, "Does that mean I should get angry at you all? Because I love you guys more than anybody." Hence it made no sense to her.

The three chuckled. Instead of answering, Naira again asked, "No, first tell us who got angry at."

Noah was also curious about it. So he hummed. Norah answered it for them, "It's Arsh. I am asking the reason."

Naira and Noah's expression was stiff for a brief second before they curiously looked at Noor

Noor looked right at her mother and the other two. She was still scared of how Naira would react and what Noah might say.

Noah used the reverse tactic, "Did that brat trouble you?" He pretended to be angered, ready to beat the little punk.

Noor shook her hands hurriedly, "No, no, no… Young master bought me tea and made me pay before he fled."

Naira, Norah, and Noah: "..."

They were well aware it wasn't because of the bill. Noah was first to ask, "Why did he flee?" His intuition after seeing Noor distracted in the meeting said Noor got to know about Arsh's feelings. He wanted to know how she deduced or Arsh proposed to Noor.

Noor bit her lips as she looked at Naira. The latter was anticipating too. Noor didn't want Naira's changing personality to go back to the same.

"He- He didn't give me any advice on how to tell you guys."

Norah pulled her daughter's ear, "Do you want advice to speak with us? When did this trend start? Noor, are we that scary for you?" She reprimanded hearing Noor cry out in little pain.

Naira and Noah looked at each other. Both nodded in tactic understanding, "Mom, she is scared to say Arsh loves her and she got to know today." Naira helped her sister. Naira knew that for a very long time so she didn't feel anything other than hoping Noor could understand Arsh and be happy with him.

Norah left her daughter's ear. Noor rubbed her ear, chewed her lower lips as she slowly glanced at Naira who seemed to be... happy? Noor's eyes widened seeing the smile of Naira and it wasn't a fake.

Her gaze slowly shifted to her father. Noah was… sulking?

Noor jerked to see her mother. The happiest one was her mother but she was hiding it well.

'Am I not going to get scolded?' Noor thought before lifting her brows at Naira. The latter chuckled, "Everyone one of us knew."

One to get shocked was Noor.

Naira giggled looking at Noor's big wide eyes, "The whole Morgan family, Ross family, Stanley family also knew."

Little Lamb: "..."

Naira went up to his sister and hugged her, "Take your time and decide. Arsh will wait for you." She supported openly so that Noor wouldn't think about her and focus on herself.

She cupped Noor's face and saw her nod in a daze. Naira saw her line of sight to Noah before whispering, "No father will like to see their daughter taken away by any man. He will support you as far as it's your choice."

Norah who watched her two daughters was really happy Naira finally came around after silent treatment for a week. She was glad Naira understood the importance of friend, sister, and also love.

But Norah internally sighed. When everything was becoming better than best, Noor might get married and go off to her new world.

Anyway, as a woman, she knew one other day it will happen, so she focused on the positive side.

Noah sulked throughout the dinner to the bed even after talking with Noor. He unwillingly allowed her to take off and decide peacefully as it was a matter of her whole life.

Only one thing he liked about the whole matter was that Arsh was from the Morgan family and his house is right next to Wood's. He could anytime he would like to see his daughter and his daughter could come anytime she likes to be here.

At Ross Villa,

Eva was muttering that evening helping the chefs with cooking. Isaac heard her negligible dissatisfaction. Ivan hadn't asked them first, instead informed them he was bringing Snow home for dinner.

They didn't have to prepare a feast but Eva was adamant about making it special without showing her real motive.

"Honey, should I cancel this dinner for you?" Isaac tested the waters.

Eva came to the kitchen door holding the long spoon, "Have you lost your mind? What will Snow think of us? Don't try to be over-smart." 

"Don't you like Snow?"

"When did I say that?" Eva struck him with the spatula and he missed.

Isaac teased her for some time before taking her upstairs to get changed.

When the duo heard the car enter the courtyard, Isaac chuckled seeing Eva sprint to the window and peek at their son and daughter-in-law. He too stood behind her and watched what Eva was curious about.

Both saw Ivan alight the car and go around. He opened the car and a beautiful young lady alighted the car with a bouquet.

Both could clearly see Arna was very nervous. She was clutching her fist and freeing up. She bit her lips and made a crying face at Ivan while talking. They didn't know what Ivan said, Arna nodded as she deep breathed. 

Eva witnessed everything before Isaac held her hands when they saw Isaac hold Arna's hand and take her towards the door. "Let's welcome them." Isaac took Eva downstairs quickly.

They reached the living hall by the time Ivan and Arna entered inside.

Arna was not at all expecting a formal dinner. She had thought it was a normal dinner and they would reveal about her and Ivan to his parents. 

So she discerned Ivan had already told his parents about them. Her fingers tightened around Ivan's palm as she mumbled to confirm, "Aunt Eva already knows?"

Ivan hummed that alleviated her tension. Arna was excited by thinking Eva will accept her as she was welcomed to a dinner.

With a graceful smile, "Aunt Eva, Uncle Issac" Arna greeted them as she passed the bouquet to Eva.

Whereas Eva grimly stuffed the bouquet into Isaac's hand.

Isaac, Ivan: "..."

Arna had celebrated a little too early. Now she suddenly felt her heart in her stomach at Eva's reaction and anxiety slapped her stronger than before.
