Alan's adam's apple moved by looking at her gaze as she batted her long curled eyelashes occasionally, "Stop looking at me."

His low, deep voice made her blush again and darted her eyes around. She had thought he might think her as dirty hence she had covered her face.

​​

Little did she expect he had many skills.

Alan carried her up in his arms hearing her ask, "Were you really single? You seem like well experienced."

Alan leisurely responded with a straight face, "I just love your skin on my lips. Do I need experience for that?"

Aria blushed involuntarily. 'Fine, you win, I lose.' She thought to herself looking at his perfectly sculpted face.

She got fresh quickly to escape to Eva's room if in case she needs her or she starts crying in the middle of the night but was pinned on the door before she could leave.

"Alan..." She helplessly called.

He whispered in her ear, "Cheater"

Aria knew why he said it and heard him, "Sleep soon." He kissed her forehead and let her go reluctantly without troubling her.

Alan worked till midnight. He checked on Aria to make sure she was sleeping before going to bed...

Alan had restored the gym in the mansion which wasn't used for a long time. Aria finished her ariel Hammock in the adjacent section before going to him.

Seeing him carry forty-kilo weight in a hand, Aria tried in both hands and failed which made Alan chuckle.

Alan replaced weights with Aria in some of his exercises making her feel like little kid playing small games. But later he kicked her out as her weight wasn't enough for his usual weighing exercise.

"You don't weigh anything. Just a waste of time."

"Which idiot told you to make me sit on it? Brainless fool." Aria retorted standing outside the gym.

Alan silently chuckled and got back to the workout. Aria received a poke on her shoulder and turned to see Eva' grinning.

"Couple exercise!"

Aria pulled Eva's cheeks instead, "My Lord Eva if you don't want me to reveal your drunken state to anybody, be obedient. Mwa~"

Eva asked, teased, pleaded, threatened but Aria didn't tell anything and fed her big bowl of soup hearing her speculations about herself.

Aria left her to speculate more asking the housekeeper and the maids to keep the things to themselves.

Eva tried hard to remember but she didn't remember anything after she had told about her father that he was forcing her to get engaged.

The trio got fresh and her speculation still continued.

Alan didn't know what had happened other than, "Ms.Miller, you had just smeared chocolate pastry on your wife's face. I just had to clean it."

Aria flushed, 'Do you call that cleaning? That's taking advantage of me.'

Eva's eyes were wide open before bursting into laughter. "I never saw her like that. I wish I could remember it."

"Try now. I don't mind cleaning again." Alan said looking at Aria who was gritting her teeth as she blushed.

"Aunty Sophia, from next time Eva will be sleeping on stairs with her 'Blankie'."

Eva choked on her food hearing 'Blankie' and turned to stairs to remember she was sleeping on the stairs and maids helping her upstairs.

It was Aria's turn to gloat and saw her actioning to ask, 'Did Prince see me like that?'

Aria brightly smiled as she nodded.

Eva covered her half of the face and ate without looking at Alan in embarrassment.

Alan had some work to which Aria gave him a displeased look taking Eva out in her car.

"Aria" Alan couldn't do anything other than seeing her car driving off. He knew Aria didn't like him to work on Sundays when he wasn't on business trips and prefers him to rest.

He could only finish work soon and plan dinner with her to coax.

Aria took Eva to the mall. They shopped, watched a movie before going to a restaurant for lunch.

Eva was confused thinking why Aria took a private room for them when they could eat in the restaurant. They had ordered food but Aria excused herself to use the restroom.

Eva was waiting for Aria hence she spoke when the door opened, "Wifey, how long were you planning to take in... rest... room?"

Eva stared at Isaac and he looked at Eva.

Aria had called Isaac for lunch or appropriate to say forced him to have lunch with her saying she had a fight with Alan.

Both didn't notice the door locking from outside.

Isaac thought Aria must have called Eva too. He gave a faint smile, "How are you?"

Eva nodded, "Good... Did Arrie call you here?"

Isaac nodded and sat quietly. Both were stealing glances but didn't dare to speak anything.

Eva felt somethings off seeing Aria didn't return even after fifteen minutes, "I will just come."

Isaac just nodded who was waiting for Aria's reply to his message asking how long was she going to take.

Eva pulled the door but she couldn't open. She tried her all but couldn't.

Isaac then noticed and went to her, "What's wrong?"

Eva responded as she knocked, "I can't open the door."

Isaac too held the same door handle and pulled but no use.

Eva turned to see Isaac right next to her and involuntarily flushed when her eyes met his but lowered her head and moved aside to let him try.

Isaac tried his best to be unemotional and knocked on the door but heard no response.

Aria didn't let anybody or passing by waiters or her bodyguards to open the lock.

When the knocks on the door increased, the manager reached there to check.

"President Cooper?"

Aria just smiled but didn't reply and didn't answer the calls from Eva or Isaac.

Those two heard voices from outside but they couldn't understand why they weren't opening the door.

Eva and Isaac felt their headache. "Arrie, open the door."

Both voiced quite a few times but received no response.

"This stubborn girl... what is she trying to..." Eva paused when her eyes brushed on Isaac.

'Sh*t... Did I say something yesterday?'

Isaac didn't want to stay longer with Eva. He had to be cold to himself to stop bothering about Eva. He couldn't let his emotional defenses to fall off so easily.

He messaged Aria again, "Aria, don't do this. Open the door."

But he received no reply and grunted, "Aria, stop being unreasonable and open the door."

Aria controlled herself from opening the door and beat them up. She didn't want to voice their feelings to another one.

'Muddle heads, can't you understand why I am doing this? Alan will probably kill me if you guys again go north and south pole because of my this plan.'

'Somebody give some sense to these two fools.'
