Chapter 410 - Will be continued…

'Think it out, my little brother is the best choice,'

Aaron wasn't supporting Shawn but Shea. He observed Shea was different with Shawn around. Aaron initially thought it might be because of embarrassment thinking she would have to face Shawn but he had never seen giving grass to any of her old hookups.

She focused on her behavior and avoided looking Shawn in the eye which wasn't her common reaction. She was open about her preference and likes being with anybody.

Aaron thought to have a good talk with her when he will meet her in the hospital later.

Nikun glanced at Aaron, craving to say, 'You Rivas are always proud of each other.' But he didn't.

He knew the Rivas family well for a long time. He is aware of how they respected, supported, and gave freedom to women. It may be a daughter or daughter-in-law.

In the Morris family, their grandparents always suppressed women. His mother and Shea's mother had to leave their career and focus on their family.

Nikun's sister-in-law secretly helps his brother at the company without a designation. Nikun's girlfriend was afraid to marry him thinking she would have to give up on her career.

Shea always lived in fear of forced marriage to a man she doesn't even know. Hence she avoided dating or even thinking of being loved by a man who might get into trouble due to her parents or grandparents.

Nikun and his brother had to convince their grandparents to let her study when she was adamant about leaving the house and living alone.

Nikun couldn't understand why his grandparents can't be open-minded when it's about women. They had even argued with his grandmother who keeps her own response to everything.

If Shea is married off to Rivas family, one to be happy would be Nikun and his brother rather than Shea herself.

Anyway, Nikun didn't bring up anything and poked fun, "I don't want to be alive to watch them being in an open relationship." Whereas he knew neither Shea nor Shawn were that kind.

Aaron just faintly smiled when Aarvi lifted her eyebrow at him. He was aware of the Morris family situation, he didn't bother to bring it up.

If Shawn and Shea really want to be together, the whole Rivas family would back them, even if they have to cut all ties with Morris industries.

Soon Butler invited all to the dining hall. Aarvi didn't forget to let Shawn know, "The torture will be continued…"

Shawn: "..."

He pointed at himself, chided for forgetting Aaron and Aarvi were right at the next door to his penthouse. He walked out of the room.

Shea followed her brother next.

Aarvi hooked her arm around Aaron's to go with him but he held her back. He tenderly cupped her petite face as he said, "Let me look at you more."

Although he had seen her happy a lot of times nowadays, it just wasn't enough for him. Her face was glowing in a pink hue after laughing and enjoying her own little games.

"Huh? Do you want me for lunch?" Looking at Aaron's affectionate gaze on her, she teased him taking Shawn's line.

The man's brow lifted attractively before he closed the distance between them and seductively whispered to her ear, "For my dinner dessert."

Aarvi flinched when his lips pressed behind her ear sending shocking waves to her toes. Her heartbeats turned definite and she inhaled slowly.

'Why did Shawn's line sound funny and Aaron's tempting?' She thought.

She opened her hooded eyes to watch the man having a s.e.xy smirk knowing his effects on her.

"I will stimulate my appetite." Her tone was enticing and her smile bewitching.

His gaze deepened when she captured his lips and left a lingering kiss. His seductress knew to leave him hanging and yearn for her.

'Stimulate my appetite.' He couldn't believe his Cupcake knew to induce him with words when she actually meant it as an appetizer.

Standing back on her toes, Aarvi pecked on the corner of his lips and whispered against his skin, "Breathe Aaron…" Her lips curled up against his skin.

He had no idea about it. He gently bit her nose tip before pulling her out to go for lunch.

The first line she heard entering the dining hall was, "Shea, why is your face so red? Are you unwell?" It was from Madam Morris.

Shawn focused on serving himself scolding his Little Heart in mind.

Aarvi knew they wouldn't dare to reveal it as the reason behind their action is more crucial which they won't want to provoke in front of elders.

Shea tried her best to respond indifferently, "No, Aunt. I am totally alright."

Shawn pinched Aarvi's leg under the table causing her face to turn red due to control from hissing in pain.

Her eyes growled at Shawn when Megan commented, "My GiggleMug is red too."

Aarvi was quick to pinch her own arm and lifted it Megan, "Mom, Shawn pinched me now." She complained like a helpless daughter and rubbed her arm.

Shawn choked on his food. 'Well done, Shrewd Little heart. You fooled my mother.'

Karsen warned Shawn, "No playing at the dining table."

'My father too.' He snorted at her

Whereas Jordan, Connor, and Aaron, had seen Aarvi pinching herself and sticking out her tongue at Shawn.

'This girl is really likable.' Jordan thought knowing the two were just having fun and Aarvi successfully bullied Shawn.

The rest of the lunch was quite peaceful hearing Jordan and Shea speak.

At Maple Regency,

Aeon had canceled his schedule to stay at the villa to accompany Sean and Eliza. As soon as he woke up, he took his mobile to check any emergency messages before looking up at social media and news media.

Some still idiotically supported Leon saying he was being slandered. Aeon could make out the water army and paid major social media influencers.

With all that, there was a huge group who were speaking against Leon and ready to help Eliza. The women and children welfare organization had also published an ambiguous statement in the morning that they will support women irrespective of status and power.

It was clear that they were waiting for Eliza to speak up so that they could stand for her.

Aeon could only hope they won't be sold out for Leon facing money or anything else.

He quickly got fresh, thinking about cooking something for his lazy little brother and Eliza.

When he went downstairs, he heard laughter echoing from the kitchen. He went towards the kitchen to see Sean helping Eliza and making her smile while preparing breakfast.

"Bro…" Sean noticed him first and beckoned him to get inside.

"Good Morning, Aeon." Eliza wished him.

"Good morning, Sister-in-law. Did you have good sleep?" He asked to reach his brother.

Sean fed him salad as he anticipatedly looked at Aeon for his review. Aeon hummed, "It's tasty. The sauce tastes perfect."

Sean was all the more excited while saying, "I prepared this. Sil taught me just now."

Sean was lazing on the couch holding his mobile as there were no weights in the mini-gym of the villa. Eliza had taken him to the kitchen saying she would teach him something.

Eliza and Aeon smiled helplessly, "My little brother's first dish turned out to be mouth-savoring."

Like a little boy who was praised for his hard work, Sean happily arranged the breakfast table for three.
