Alan rubbed her head, "Give her some time." He didn't want to force her.

Aria's lips slightly tilted up hearing him understanding her which made her feel like she should also address how he addressed her parents.

​​

Before Amelia could respond, Aria spoke, "How about Mum and Pop? I will be more special than your dumb sons."

Alan was surprised along with others too. Amelia who initially felt low brightened up instantly, "That sounds fun. I have boring sons." She smacked Rian who was giving thumbs up to Aria.

Aria giggled seeing Rian's dark face. "I might take a little time. I will get adjusted to it soon."

Rowan and Amelia were very happy to hear that. Rian glared at his parents, "You two! Better pamper me alone. Now My Little devil has one to overly overindulge her."

All smiled at Rian. He left soon to school with the driver. Aria was leaving with Alan but Amelia stopped.

"Arrie, are you going like this?"

"Yep!" Aria thought getting ready wasn't required.

Amelia shook her head, "What if reporters are present?"

"I don't care... Aunt... Mum, you want me to get ready for your son. Don't you?"

Amelia grinned getting caught. Aria continued, "Is it so important to get dressed?"

Amelia was thinking a crafty reply, Alan carried her upstairs leaving his parents astounded.

Alan left her near her room ignoring her glare whole time, "Let me see how you can look on our official first date."

Aria breathed through her mouth to remain calm, "Why don't I know we are going on date? I have other things to do."

Alan nodded but added, "That was a great excuse. I will be waiting." He pecked on her cheek quickly and escaped.

'Fine! I fulfill your request. Just wait.' Aria thought to herself rubbing her cheek and got ready quickly.

The sporty look completely changed to the sweet little girl's look when she descended stairs.

Amelia looked at the stairs opening her mouth wide, "Oh! God. This girl... Honey! Is there a way for me to change to a young man? Awww she looks so cute and pretty... Dainty, sweet and adorable."

Rowan didn't know what to say to his wife.

Alan didn't want to take Aria out anymore. He didn't want anybody to see her. He was cent percent sure, she was doing it to teach him not to challenge her without thinking.

Aria was wearing off-shoulder full sleeve black and white striped top in-shirted in brown short high waist circular skirt showing off her flawless pearly slender legs. She matched with black ankle straps high heels, black sling bag, loose curls, and baby pink lips.

A Delicate doll.

Alan felt his heartbeats were crazily high as she went closer to him. She gave him a beautiful smile making his heart skip a beat. The impassive expression was changing greatly on his face without his control.

Aria stood in front of Amelia, "Now?"

Amelia kept both palms on her heart, "Arrie! I think I born at the wrong time. I am in love with you."

Aria chuckled lightly and flicked her fingers in front of Alan, "President Morgan, where have you lost?"

Rowan shook his head resignedly. Amelia burst into laughter. "Our dumb son is head over heels in love with Arrie."

Aria controlled her expression and repeated Alan's dialogue, "I know."

Alan stood up and walked towards exit holding her hand. Aria was chuckling following him but Alan pinned her on the car making her eyes wide open.

"Seems like Young Miss Cooper enjoys embarrassing me."

Aria's heartbeats raised quickly as his slender finger slowly traced her neck till collarbone and hearing his bewitching tone. "You... You..."

She regretted wearing the off-shoulder top feeling his finger damn slowing moving down her collarbone.

Alan's lips raised high seeing her blush and at a loss of words. He didn't continue to tease her seeing a gardener nearby. He opened the car door for her and saw her swiftly move in before breathing a sigh.

He just smiled and took the driver seat as Aria started chiding him. He didn't mind and changed the topic soon to talk.

They reached the government lab. Aria did as Rian told and made Lucas Cooper fume in anger. Then she spoke to a psychiatrist before leaving.

Alan led her out as he asked, "What did that doctor say?"

Aria controlled her smile and commented, "She said that I have lost my mind to say yes to you."

Alan glanced at her and pinched her cheek, "Then you don't need to have a brain."

Aria removed his hand and rubbed her cheek. She tried to pinch his cheek but she didn't get to touch either as he held her hand.

Aria pouted and was exiting the building, they heard Lucas Cooper's voice who watched their interaction completely.

"President Morgan, a man with a hustle needs a woman with a vision, not a little girl who likes to party."

Then he snorted looking at Aria, "Sold yourself."

Aria held Alan's arm as she replied, "I think Mr.Lucas Cooper referring himself. I must say your mistress had a great vision. And Sold? At least, I get the love and care in return which you will never understand."

Aria turned to Alan, "Let's go. It's very dirty here. I feel nauseous just by standing."

Alan narrowed his eyes at Lucas Cooper and went with Aria whose mood had naturally dampened.

Lucas Cooper clenched his fist and looked at the departing figures. He hadn't thought much when he saw Aria and Alan together. But after seeing them today, he was sure they weren't just a guardian and ward.

He called a number on his mobile as he exited. He spoke right after he heard the response, "Did you know Aria and Alan Morgan are in a relationship?"

"Why the hell didn't you tell me? Even if I win the case, they can re-appeal and push it for a few months every time. Do you... Hello... Hello..."

He hung up and was fuming when he hopped in his car to follow Alan's car.

Alan had successfully cheered her and drove towards the Morgan Industries. He quickly noticed the car following and made Lucas Cooper get stuck in a traffic signal easily.

Lucas Cooper's car was a normal sedan and Alan was driving a hybrid sports car. There was no match in the cars or the driving skills.

Aria entered Morgan industries with Alan as she spoke, "Didn't you say we are going on a date? All go around to different places or malls, movies, shopping or other fun activities. What are we doing? First, we went to the state administration office then coming to your office to attend a meeting. Wow! You have such a unique taste. I'm greatly impressed."

Alan smiled hearing her complain like a little girlfriend and took her towards his office, "What to do? I have to work overtime because of President Cooper."

Aria elbowed him, "You dare to complain to President Cooper about herself. Do you want me to demote you?"

"President Cooper is getting angry." He poked her cheek as they entered his office.

Nathan's eyes and mouth were wide open in shock with the rest of the secretaries.
