Aria quickly freshened up and got ready before going downstairs.

Amelia elbowed Rowan and said looking at Aria descending the stairs, "I so badly want to steal Arrie. How to change into a young man? I will kidnap her away. Isn't she very gorgeous? Aww, I'm falling in love with Arrie."

​​

Rowan, as usual, didn't know what to do with his wife.

Eva stood in akimbo next to Isaac, "My goddess rules her title... I love her small waist. I will definitely be a man in the next life to marry my wife."

Isaac was speechless. He had forgotten Eva's first wife and her adoration was back.

Zara wood who was standing with Noah, "Aww, she is sooo beautiful."

Noah hummed for her.

"Wow, I thought my Little devil couldn't maintain her physique."

Roxy punched his stomach, "If you feed me like a pig again, I will make you a fatso."

Roxy was a little chubby than her teenage years.

Finn saw Aria descending stairs gracefully in an Ice blue lace appliqued tulle overlay, short high-low dress.

Without accessories, her flawless shoulder was enthralling wearing the off the shoulder neckline dress. Her slender long legs on heels made her look taller than usual.

He felt hard to distract his eyes and smiled to himself.

Aria's homecoming party started and all were enjoying drinks and food. While Aria was taking some rest, she turned to Isaac and mouthed, 'Alan?'

Isaac shook his head. Aria could only nod and wait for the party to get over.

When Aria wanted to use the restroom she went upstairs to her room. Then she tried calling Alan but it wasn't answered again.

'Alan' She just typed his name in the message.

She waited for five minutes but there was no response. She left her mobile in the room and exited.

She stood by Alan's room door for a few seconds remembering when he threw her out of his room.

She opened the door to look at an enormous Italian decor room but her eyes fell on the refined silhouette under faint light.

"Alan..."

Finn who had just used a guest room heard Aria's loud voice and ran in front of the room but didn't enter.

He saw Aria running into Alan's arms wrapping her hands tight around his neck.

"Alan, I'm back... I'm back home." Aria excitedly said.

Alan embraced her back tight.

Yes! His little woman was back to his side.

Three months back he had gone to bring her back but Aria who was the managing director of the Skyline branch had a very important project in hand. She didn't want to leave in mid hence she couldn't return with him.

Alan wasn't angry. In fact, he understood her reason but disliked it. He behaved disappointed so that Aria returns to him finishing her work very quickly.

Finn felt like the little bird reached the safe nest, to its safe home, to its safe arms.

Seeing her declining to get off from Alan's arms and seeing her mesmeric smile which was only at Alan, his heart skipped a beat like every single time.

That smile, her happiest tone was never for him. Her important person was never him.

He had just gone to look after her and study but he never thought he would eventually fall in love with her stubborn love towards Alan, fall in love with her smile towards Alan, fall in love with how she always prioritized Alan in the whole five years.

Even though he was sent for her safety, she was very safe and sound without anybody attacking her or harming her.

Both stayed in neighboring villas, went to college together, spent most of the college time together, she taught him, gave him notes but he never happened to be an important person in her life other than a friend.

But she became most important for him unknowingly, unintendedly.

She became the one who took over his heart unintentionally.

Most of the students thought they were dating except a few of their close classmates. Aria declined their assumptions if necessary and asked him to stay away else he wouldn't get a girlfriend but he didn't care about anybody other than her who wanted nobody other than Alan.

The ludicrous thing was that five years back until Alan said he was a good man, Aria kept him away like a stranger.

Finn returned to the party without disturbing them...

Aria rested her hands on Alan's shoulder without agreeing for him to put her down, "Are you still angry with me?"

"What do you think?"

He didn't continue seeing her pout in displeasure, "I will not let you go anywhere again."

Aria giggled and wrapped her hands again, "I don't have any plans of leaving my handsome alone either."

Both flirted for sometime before Aria took him downstairs.

The Morgan family had no idea Alan was in the home. Seeing Aria walk downstairs holding his arm, they understood, Alan wasn't angry anymore.

Rian snorted near them, "Can you guys stay angry at each other's face even once?"

Aria smiled, "Roxy, I think you forgot to beat his a*s today."

Pfft~

"Little Devil" Rian gritted his teeth and received a punch on his waist.

"You! How dare you hit me? Enjoy on top today. I will be at the bottom."

Roxy rolled her eyes. She had many ways to make him go on top without wasting words.

Harold patted on Finn's shoulder when he looked away from the couple. The former felt he was responsible for his heartache.

"I'm fine, grandpa. I hope we don't owe anything to Alia anymore."

Harold nodded heart brokenly, "We don't. Does Aria know why you went there?"

Finn shook his head, "It's not required. I don't want her to judge my care and concern because of that. Grandpa, I want to stand by her and help her as a friend whenever she needs."

"That..."

Finn cut in, "I don't care." He knew Harold was concerned about him.

Harold could only hum to his strong-headed son who was madly in love with the girl who was stubbornly in love with another man.

Rian who saw Eva laughing with their classmates and Aria, moved next to Isaac calling Noah as a backup.

"Brother Isaac, You are working out from the time you entered showbiz, isn't it?"

Isaac hummed without understanding why Rian was asking it. He heard Noah hum before Rian continued.

"I didn't know you are weak. Brother Isaac, my mom must be knowing some homemade tonics to increase stamina, do you want to try?"

Noah and Rian tried their best to look worried about him seeing his darkened face.

"What the hell do you mean?" Isaac was frighteningly cold.

Noah looked confused, "Huh? Eva was saying something like an old man, weakling, youth, wasted, or something like that to Arrie... Rian, I think we misunderstood. How can Brother Isaac be weak?"
