Chapter 723 - Love Is Immortal

Dylan sat down once the lawyer left. Without a lawyer, he knew he wouldn't get to speak much with Leon. So he came right to the point, "Brother Leon, is there anything I could do for you?" He already knew what happened in the morning so he didn't question anything related to the same.

Leon watched Dylan for a few seconds and smirked. He couldn't trust Dylan so he will just give him a ticket to hell, "Yeah… Get some useless evidence and join hands with Aarvi. Keep me updated about her moves." If Dylan lies, then it would be clear that he was really working with Aarvi. Well, he had his motive and a way to escape by sending Dylan away.

Dylan was speechless. One was sending him to Leon and the latter was sending him to her. This would be pure torture and a true test to his every brain cells. He will have to weigh each thing and before reporting them about the other. 

"Brother Leon, do you think she will believe me? She is way too smart to get fooled." Dylan promptly responded. He didn't want to be around Aarvi. She was too dangerous without weapons and she could turn the simple situation into anything she likes.

Leon thought it was indeed true. He gave a deep thought for a few seconds and came up with another easy solution, "Then go to her and tell her directly that I want you to follow her daily. If she doesn't allow it, I will kill you."

Dylan: "..."

Aarvi had no reason to keep him around her and she doesn't have to care about his life. What Leon was trying to do? Dylan couldn't… couldn't… Dylan's eyes glinted sharply. Leon wants to know where she lives and where she frequents. 'What is his plan?' He thought.

On the surface Dylan looked speechless and clueless, "Then she will wait to hear that I died by your hands."

Leon snorted in his mind. He also wanted to see how Aarvi might react to those words. So he wanted to send Dylan near Aarvi. He didn't ask if Dylan was fine with his plan. He continued to order, "There is a button camera in my room drawer. Wear it all the time, hiding from her."

Dylan mumbled pretending to be thinking, "Then she will send me here filing as I was spying on her and threatening her."

Leon didn't react to any words. He was adamant about sending him to Aarvi.

Dylan looked reluctant but had no choice. The cops called him out when the time limit crossed. He walked out of the police station, avoided the media, and sat in his car. 'Where is Aarvi now?' He didn't know. He left the station premises to get the button camera first.

At the other end,

Aarvi and Aaron navigated towards the airport to pick Zelda. Likewise, everyone from the Rivas family was there. Shea wasn't there.

Aarvi removed her seatbelt and noticed Jordan standing, staring at the arrival gate. He was well-groomed in his favorite suit which was bought by Zelda long ago. He was holding the best came from his collection. Anticipation and nervousness were etched on his face.

Aarvi pointed at Jordan, "Ronron, you have to pick me just like grandfather even if I go out for a day." A little wish of hers that she suddenly got.

Aaron glanced at Jordan and turned to her. He took a few seconds and she was shocked, there was nothing to think about. He turned her down, "Nope." He alighted the car and closed the door looking at her jutted lips and grumpy look. She didn't alight the car. Her eyes followed him. Aaron opened the door for her and she ignored him.

Megan, Karsen who got out of their car, watched them and chuckled. Connor heard Shawn's complaint about the dog food he always gets to eat. Yet, Jordan didn't look anywhere but the arrival gate.

Aaron slipped his hand to hold her hand and asked her to get off as if he was getting annoyed by her behavior in public, "Cupcake, grandma will be here soon. Are you going to welcome her like this?"

Aarvi snorted and slapped his hand away. "I will not talk to you. Go." She threw her silly tantrums. She just wanted to know why he said no. is it so hard to pick her up from the airport if she goes somewhere?

"And why?" He asked seriously.

Aarvi forgot she just said she won't talk to him, "Because… You are so mean."

She says something to punish him yet, she forgets what she said a second before. Sighing internally, Aaron wrapped his hand to bring her out but she held the driver's seat and started crying as if he was going to kidnap her.

The Rivas family excluding Jordan: "..."

Aaron knew she was just playing around and she wasn't actually angry. So he held her hands in one hand and another hand around her waist and brought her out like a human-sized doll.

Aarvi: "..."

'You dumb man, can't you just get angry at me?' She thought. Grabbing the flowers, she ran away from him. Aaron shook his head in resignation and closed the door. Women are such complex creatures.

Aarvi handed the bouquet to Jordan who finally shifted his attention away from the gate to Aarvi. He looked down at the beautiful bouquet of white flowers. 

He looked confused looking at white flowers, "Lillies?" Lillies are usually used for the dead.

Megan teased before Aarvi could respond, "GiggleMug, Dad is asking for red roses." Everyone chuckled, making Jordan embarrassed. 

Aarvi shook her head, "Grandfather, it's not lily. Lilly usually has dusty orange, white or yellow anthers. Their petals are longer than this. This flower is called Star of Bethlehem, it signifies reconciliation." The anthers of Bethlehem are in the light shade of green. 

Aarvi pointed to the small white flowers between Bethlehem, "This flower is alyssum maritimum. The meaning is- our love is immortal, I will always love you, let our love be forever."

Aarvi controlled her lips from curling up when the elders and Shawn sang in chorus, "Ohhh..." 

Jordan was indeed embarrassed but he liked how each flower had its meaning. He shot daggers at the rest and scolded, "How insensitive of you!! Look at my granddaughter-in-law and learn." It was just an excuse to avoid being more awkward.

Then he turned to Aarvi who had more to say, "There were many bright colors which have similar meaning but I thought white would suit better."

Jordan gave a satisfied nod. He liked it. He asked in confusion, "But how will my wife know the meaning of the flowers?"

Aarvi half shrugged her shoulders, "Obviously, grandfather will tell grandmother." She meant- 'You have to confess your love to your wife.'

"That's a smart move," Shawn remarked, impressed by how one could send a message to another in the form of flowers.

Aaron, who caught the old ladies coming, went to his wife, tugged her away from Jordan. His grandfather would prefer to see his wife walking up to him so that he could confirm she was really coming back.

Aarvi wanted to tease the old man more, she fell silent when she saw him point his chin at the door. Since she had met Zelda recently, she wasn't as excited as others. She looked at Zelda and Jordan's reactions with the rest. Everyone had a content smile. Megan had the brightest smile. Sophia, the housekeeper, had a faint smile. As soon as she noticed them, her smile and eyes turned emotional.

However, Zelda was expressionless. Even though Jordan wasn't smiling, one could feel his lifted spirits. His face was glowing like never before, yet his nervousness was visible by his hands.

Shawn went forward first. He hugged his grandmother, greeted Sophia, and took the luggage trolly. Aarvi saw others waiting patiently. 

Zelda looked at her husband and his hands. She hid her emotions watching the flowers. "Did you forget your age?" She taunted on the surface but still took the flower before Jordan could offer them to her.

Jordan said nothing while the rest had a faint smile watching Zelda.

Then the rest met Zelda and watched Zelda and Jordan leave in a car. Aarvi broke the silence in worry, "They spoke nothing."

Shawn placed his elbow on her shoulder and reduced her worry, "Little Heart, trust me, you wouldn't like to see grandfather as a wife's slave. He will be at his wife's beck and call. You will get to see it from tomorrow."

"Oh…"

"Let's go, guys, I am starving." Megan hurried them. Zelda and Jordan had a dinner date at home. While the rest were going to a restaurant to give the couple privacy.

Shawn and Connor left in the sports car. Sophia got into Karsen and Megan's car left next. Aaron saw his wife's lips jutted again. He flicked on her nose and responded to what she wanted to listen to, "How can I pick my wife when I will go with her wherever she goes?"

Well, that was enough to brighten her mood. "That's more like a wife doting hubby."

Aaron: "..."

Shaking his head, he directed her to the back seat, "Let's Roach drive." And both took the back seats. Before Roach could move, Aarvi hurriedly stopped him looking outside, "Wait, wait…"

Aarvi saw a man in grey hair stepping out of the arrival gate. She furrowed as soon as she identified James Crowford. He was the same lawyer she wanted to hire as an alternate to Nikun. James harshly turned her down in an email. 

Why is he in Mocon? Leon Harmon!? Aarvi clenched her teeth. James is a dangerous man who plays with words meticulously.. Aarvi wasn't in a position to lose after today.
