Livid Guardian's Endless Coddling

Chapter 651: Decision On A Whim

At Wood's mansion,

Noor didn't know why her father was serious. He didn't utter a word on their way back to the mansion. When they reached the living hall, Noor and others didn't go upstairs, guessing Noah might have something to say.

Noah asked carefully, "Noor, perhaps... Did you and Arsh get the marriage certificate?" He asked because he highly doubted Arsh was capable of it as Alan did the same with Aria.

Noor didn't know if she should laugh or get nervous. She promptly responded, "No, Dad. I would never do that before telling you guys."

Noah cooled down hearing her. He sat down and breathed. For a moment, he had thought if his daughter wasn't considering them and their opinions so soon, how would she remember them after getting married. Would she forget them? Won't she need them anymore? Hence he got so anxious hearing everything and thinking of letting go of her.

Naira and Norah sat together watching the father and daughter. Naira asked in a low voice, "Mom, how would you have reacted if they come after registering their marriage?"

Norah gave a thought. "I might scold them for being an elder but I would be very happy to know my daughter got someone she loves."

Naira gave a thumbs up to her and heard Noah who was hiding his worry, "That's good You don't have to hide from us, Noor. You can tell us. I-I will not object."

Naira and Norah looked at each other in shock. Did they hear right?

Noor casually responded at first, "Yes, Dad. I- Huh?" It crossed her mind, Noah was just worried about her hiding things from him. He indirectly said he accepted Arsh. "Dad, you mean, if I tell you I will marry Young Master Morgan, tomorrow, then you will not object?" 

"We- We will come with you," Noah responded.

Noor chuckled after hearing him. She didn't know why exactly she was getting happy. She confessed, "I was scared looking at you." She hugged her father.

Naira spoke after Noor, "Dad, just two weeks back you expected her to break up."

Noor and Norah curiously looked at Noah. The latter promptly nodded, "He sacrificed his dream to be with Noor. If not him, who else will I accept?"

Noor smiled hearing her father while Naira and Norah had no idea. "Did Arsh start working in that company for Noor?"

Noor didn't respond but Noah, "You could say so."

"That's so cool," Naira exclaimed while Norah looked impressed too. After a lot of talking, Noor excused herself when she got a call from Arsh.

"Hello"

Arsh interjected, [Ms. Wood, how long are you gonna make me wait in your room?]

Noor's eyes widened hearing him. She glanced at the living hall where her family was busy and ran upstairs. Just now her father gave her a green flag before they could even decide about the marriage, she didn't want anything to change Noah's decision.

She entered her room and quickly closed the door. She turned the lights on when she could already guess where was sitting, "When did you come?" She questioned as she went closer to him.

Arsh watched her happy face for a few seconds. "After you guys stepped inside." Arsh half shrugged his shoulder, pointing out it was more than half an hour.

Noor was momentarily speechless thinking he was wasting time sitting in her bedroom for so long, just to wait for her. "We were talking about you." She told them why she didn't go to her room, "You should have called me before Wait, we just saw each other, why did you come?"

Arsh could guess Noah must have asked something about him. He didn't ask about it or respond to her question. "Why do you look so happy?"

Noor promptly responded without giving a second thought, "Dad said we can marry anytime we want. We just have to let them know beforehand."

Arsh almost choked on his spit. That wasn't what he expected. He thought he might have to apologize to the whole family for teasing Noor with a marriage topic that could pressure her.

He stood up from the chair and went towards her slowly nodding to himself. "Your parents passed me." He took a step, causing Noor to step back hearing his voice sounding mysterious. "Your grandparents like me." He took another step seeing her nod carefully. "Your sister has no problem."

Noor's back hit the door and she stood staring at him. Hearing him go silent without taking her name next, she knew he was waiting for her to say, at least, she likes him. But the thought was enough to make her flush red.

Arsh sighed seeing her mute. His arm coiled around her waist. He twirled with her and left her freely in the room. He came to apologize so he focused on it without lifting his hopes, "I am sorry for picking a marriage topic. I was just teasing you in the restaurant. You don't have to feel pressured about anything. And yeah, you can get angry whenever you want." He wouldn't mind coaxing her if she is angry.

Noor understood why he came to meet her. She wasn't pressured, she was pissed off that time. "Oh I know." She knew he was teasing her.

Arsh finally relaxed after hearing her. He rubbed her head and decided to leave, "Get fresh and go to bed soon. Good night, Ms. Wood." After their long day, rest was very important.

His thumb gently caressed her cheek, looking at her eyes still smiling. He turned to the balcony. He was leaving when he heard Noor's mellow voice, "I was thinking... a double wedding would be a good idea."

Arsh felt his world spin in a second before coming to still. He held his breath without knowledge and turned around. He saw her chewing her lips and her face again flushed like a ripe tomato without looking him in the eyes.

Arsh fought hard to say something but he didn't know what to say. Just now he said she doesn't have to be pressured and she was suggesting a double wedding with his sister and Ivan.

Arsh closed his eyes and pinched between his brows to think rationally. He didn't want her to make any decision she might regret later. Thinking the marriage topic must have influenced her to take the decision, he stayed super calm, burying his all other emotions.

He held her arms and made her sit on the corner of the bed. Kneeling in front of her, he held her hands. He was extremely patient, stark opposite to the overwhelming emotions she created by her words. "Noor, don't decide it on a whim. Give it a deep thought, speak to somebody if required. There will be a lot of changes if you get married. You will have to live at my place, you will have a new identity, and you will also work"

Noor cut in his words, pointing at him, "I will have you to help me." She knows he was worried about her and she was also nervous. She knew she would still be nervous if they dated for many months. When she saw her family accepting and also excited looking forward to their marriage, she was exhilarated and the thought of marrying Arsh indeed crossed her mind, purely on her will.

Arsh couldn't believe she was keeping the marriage so simple. He watched her for a few seconds and captured her lips in a fierce, soul-stealing kiss.
