Rian sat in silence as she calmed down resting her head on his lap, "I am jealous of Arrie. Am I not?"

Rian still didn't speak, he didn't want to speak for or against Aria or Roxy. Both are important for him and he wouldn't let Roxy think he was talking for Aria or he will hate Aria hearing her. He wanted Roxy to realize herself, else he will help her understand but not talk for them.

​​

Roxy sighed and remembered what Aria had told her once. When Aria had lost her mother and Oliver had lost his wife, they had nobody other than each other. Aria was too young to understand her mother wasn't coming back to her. Rian who had learned from Amelia had cried with her seeing her weep in front of the tomb when her mother was buried inside without understanding why her father was doing it. Rian had coaxed her asking her to make his mother as hers too.

Of course, they were too young and innocent to understand it wasn't possible. Oliver had taught her how to be strong and protect the little ones.

Roxy understood Rian was always a little one for Aria who she always took care of as a little brother. Hence they had many promises which were only to grow better as a person.

She asked, looking at Rian's calm face, "Why did they hide about your health from me?" She wanted to clear her all misunderstanding so that she doesn't have a doubt and point her finger at Aria again.

Rian caressed behind her head as he briefed her, "I was hurt here and the CT scan was clear but I wasn't in a conscious state. This part of the head has parental lobes of the brain which control body balance, control of our senses, and our eyesight. Doctors themselves didn't know my complete health status and they didn't give the partial result that would be shocking for you. What would you have done if you had heard I might have a problem differentiating between colors?"

Roxy tried to speak, "I... I..." She understood they didn't want her to take any rash decision, "But I still went out alone and caused trouble."

Rian calmed her, "It's alright..." Looking at the regretting of her action he spoke about what happened in the hospital when he woke up, "Arrie didn't mean to stop you from seeing me. She was panicked my brain might be really affected and that might affect my career."

Roxy discerned herself, "So I wasn't sedated but the unconscious whole time." Rian just hummed in response. Roxy didn't let him down, he knows she was green with the emotions among others but she understands taking the time.

Roxy wrapped her arms around his waist and confessed, "I know I am envious of Arrie's character and how amazingly she keeps other things away from family and is happy with all. I will not be jealous of her again, I know everyone loves me too... Excluding your brother."

Rian chuckled hearing the last three words, "You better be careful else he will toss us out of the mansion if you trouble Little devil."

Roxy wasn't new to Alan's behavior anyway. He can only see two women in his life, others are equal to invisible creatures. Roxy asked curiously, "Who will your brother support if you fight with Arrie?"

Rian knocked on her head for still needing to question that, "Of course Little Devil." Roxy countered, "You are his younger brother."

Rian hummed and added, "Yeah, he supports Little devil hence he has no choice but to support me too else she will kick him out with me."

Roxy burst into laughter relaxing from the deep topic and decided to apologize to Aria the next day.

The next day was the photoshoot day in the Morgan mansion. Alan had to call the creative team and the top photographer on Aria's pester.

Aria had sat and filtered her (newborn) and Alan's four-year-old pictures and then she went behind Alan to convince him to try them again but he just covered his ear and went around in their vast bedroom turning down her request.

Both didn't hear the knock on the door, Roxy and Rian watched them playing like teenagers arguing with each other. Roxy commented, "Don't you think we look more mature than these two? Who agrees if we say Brother-in-law behaves like a child with Arrie?"

Rian watched his brother who was flushed rather than throwing silly tantrums so he carefully heard what Arrie was saying, "Alan... It's just a picture... What's wrong with wearing dungarees? No one will laugh at you. Sweetheart, listen to me..."

"I said no. I will not wear them." Alan's stern voice sounded.

"How can you decide before trying it? This picture is so cute, I want to recreate this..."

Rian grinned realizing Alan had imagined himself in dungarees, funky and colorful clothes hence he wasn't able to convince himself that he used to wear such clothes. "Bro..."

Alan's embarrassed face erased and put on an indifferent composure as though he wasn't the one who was throwing fits. Aria bumped to him for his sudden halt and peeked at Rian and Roxy.

Unknowingly her face lost the brightness it had looking at Roxy. She really didn't want to fight in front of anybody and make it huge.

Rian spoke which saved his brother, "I have some important documents that need your attention."

Alan quickly left saving himself from his crazy wife who wants him to wear jeans dungaree on a tangerine T-shirt and she wears a little cotton pink dress and sits on his lap to recreate the picture. The picture was really good but as little kids only.

Aria realized Roxy wants to speak to her hence Rian took Alan who ran away as if she was going to gobble him up.

"Arrie..." Roxy went inside once the men left the room and didn't notice Alan glancing back at them. He had a simple rule, make my wife unhappy, then you forget about being happy.

Aria left her tab on the desk and spoke calmly, "Yeah, I am all ears." She didn't know if Roxy was going to blame her for anything or talk about something else.

Roxy directly apologized, "I am sorry about my behavior."

Doubt is like a bug that never leaves even if you try to shoo it away, killing it is a choice. So Aria didn't want her apology but the reason behind it to uproot it permanently.

"That's it?" Aria asked thinking if she wanted to speak about it or Rian sent her to apologize.

Roxy lowered her head and confessed, "You stay level headed and handle things smoothly and I always mess things up. One led to another and I was very envious so these all happened."

Aria sighed hearing it, "Who said I always stay levelheaded? Nope, I lose my mind a lot of times and I break down too. During those times, I will make sure to talk to Alan. I make a lot of mistakes however I try to correct them and learn from it or ask somebody to teach me."

Roxy nodded, "I will talk to Rian from next time without burying it in myself." Of course, she understood why she spoke about herself. Instead of asking her what to do, she lets her decide it by herself when she falls weak or needs to clear her mind.

Aria smiled and went towards the door patting her shoulder but Roxy held her hand and stopped, "Or I will talk to you."

Aria chuckled hearing her and accepted, "Sure..." Just then a grim yet flirty tone sounded at the door, "Who is stealing my wifey? I am going to cut off their head. Tell me, tell me..."
