Livid Guardian's Endless Coddling

Chapter 615: Short-circuited



Chapter 615: Short-circuited

Arsh doubted if Noor could remember it as she was very young so he wasn't sure what made her blush. He flicked his fingers in front of Noor's face and Noor gasped as she took a step away unknowingly.

She felt a presence behind her, so she jerked around and relaxed as soon as her gaze fell on Aria.

Arsh: "..."

His mother was pro at taking his love's attention. He looked at the two who hugged each other before his eyes landed on his father. His father's gaze felt like he was sympathizing with him.

"Let's" Another car came in shortly. Ivan and Arna alighted the car.

At the entrance of the restaurant, Rian stood akimbo glaring at them, "Are you guys going to feed me or talk at the door? Get in."

Rooney and his girlfriend chuckled behind Rian, waving at them to get in. Excluding Amelia and Rowan, who prefer home food, the rest of the members were there with their partners.

They sat in the large private room and ate while teasing Ivan and Arna asking the details of the confession and after that. 

Arna ate less, blushed more because her family is shameless than her. She desperately tried to divert their attention and ended up pointing to Arsh, "Why don't you guys tease Bro? He is slow as a snail. I am waiting for my sister-in-law."

Noor behaved dumb and deaf to it and gracefully ate her lunch. But her smile flattered and her face was dimmed. Even though she recalled the small event of her childhood, Noor doubted it as it could be her hallucination.

She wanted to believe it and what Naira had told her but she didn't want to have stupid hopes which were building without her control. So she decided to ignore Arsh's topic to avoid the battle inside her.

Arsh placed his fork and knife down and looked at his sister. He wasn't slow, he was being slow for Noor. He was tired of all their teasing when they should be redirected at Noor. 

"Why don't you tease her instead? She will choke herself to death or else she will run if I tell her." 

All chuckled hearing his misery in words. Meanwhile, Noor looked around. She understood everyone was aware of Arsh's girl excluding her and she goes to the Morgan mansion like it's her second home. She sulked.

Rooney, who knew her little expressions, probed, "Why are you pulling a long face, Noor?"

That caught everyone's attention. If she is sad, then her feelings for Arsh are changing.

Noor pouted as she muttered, "You guys never told me."

Despite understanding her question, Arna questioned, hiding her smile, "What haven't we told you, Noor?"

Noor regretted responding to Rooney. She had forgotten for a moment these siblings tease her to the bones. She hesitantly revealed, "Today I got to know Young Master Morgan has somebody of his like."

"Oh" Excluding Arsh and Alan, all responded in chorus. "Then?" Most of their voices came in unison.

Arsh: "..."

Noor glanced at Arsh and saw the curious faces. Now she started to doubt if Arsh hadn't told them anything. "Did he tell you guys?" She innocently asked.

Again excluding two, all shook their heads but didn't utter a word. So that they could hear what must have Arsh told her and it could sow a seed of misunderstanding between them. Well, Arsh was also aware of it.

Noor looked at Arsh thinking if she could tell them, then decided to let them know as Arsh wouldn't mind as they were his family.

"Young master mentioned to me that she had said she would cook for him every day."

Everyone: "..."

Since Noor didn't continue, they realized she didn't know anything else. They were already tired of this waiting, they couldn't believe the patience of Arsh who stayed neutral for many years when Noor was right beside him.

Noor started to eat with others without understanding why everyone fell silent

Roxy was the first to break the silence, "Noor, do you wanna know who she is?"

Noor thought if she wanted to know. Now or later, it doesn't matter so she nodded at Roxy.

"You!"

Pfft.

Arna and Aria choked on their food hearing Arsh.

Noor frowned hard at Arsh who still ate in so much composure that it was unbelievable if he was the one who spoke.

Ivan and Alan helped their wives. Rian stood up as he pulled Roxy up and went out in absolute silence. Rooney took his girlfriend behind Rian hiding their shock. Next, Alan and Ivan helped their women and left the private room.

Noor wanted to believe they were pranking her but seeing them leave one after the other, now she wanted to run behind them. 

Turning to Arsh who was eating, she didn't know if she should eat or speak or leave. She was torn between her thoughts.

It was like her brain was short-circuited, she was unable to think straight about what was going on. Her heart didn't beat in excitement but panic and uneasiness. She didn't know how to react while the words on her lips were, 'Are you kidding me?'

She knew she was sad hearing he had somebody else he likes, doesn't that mean she should be happy hearing it was her? 

The past event started playing in her mind. All the attention, concern, and importantly his time for her wasn't coincidental. She understood he was slowly trying to crawl into her life hence her thoughts were in mess and nothing was her illusion.

She obviously thought of Naira and the latter's intense hatred towards her when Arsh had rejected her proposal. She didn't know if she should blame herself for being an obstacle to her sister's love or think of what he said.

At the moment, her nerves only told her to leave from there and breathe which she was holding from the time it struck her they weren't kidding but it was true.

Before she could suffocate herself, Arsh grabbed her hand and took her out of the private room. He didn't regret telling her today. Because, whenever it is, she would still react the same.
