Hand on Rose's back, disbelief in his eyes, and frozen Rose in the front. Finn couldn't believe how he was tamed by Arna that he involuntarily moved on to her words.

He realized why Aria always scolded him or requested him to avoid playing on her terms every time. At this rate, would he jump off the cliff if Arna ordered? Finn eerily found it possible. He might actually jump if Arna lied, 'Momma fell.' and he wouldn't think before jumping.

​​

'Am I really spoiling her beyond a limit?' He thought forgetting Rose was leaning on him and his hand was patting her back.

Arna was grinning while Arsh saw Finn lost in thought. Seems like he has to do something else Uncle Finn wouldn't take it seriously. He nodded to himself and continued to eat alone.

Frozen Rose had stopped crying a long back and waited for Finn to leave. Finn sighed clearing his thoughts and saw her quiet. "Do you always cry like this in front of others?"

Rose promptly shook her head without uttering any word.

Finn handed her tissue again and sat on the chair looking at her, "Do I look scary?" He asked.

Arna who wanted to retort as he is very attractive sat back when her brother tugged her hand back placing his finger on his lips shushing her down.

Rose seriously gave a thought, she was kind of afraid but not by his looks but feared he might scold her and she might do something wrong. She wasn't actually so easily feared else how she would have been lived alone and brave all these years. When it comes to Finn, even she wasn't sure why becomes so unbalanced.

Probably because he kept Finn in a too high position that she assumed he was an unreachable star and she was a nobody. He was so perfect in her eyes that she felt she would definitely make some mistakes and she would disappoint him.

Rose meekly shook her head, chewing her lower lip without daring to look at him. There was a kind of disappointment knowing Finn didn't believe Arna's words when it was actually a fact.

Finn breathed relief and started glancing at the little one obediently drinking and Arsh silently helping Arna holding her glass to drink milk. He really wanted to go to the future and see if Arsh was going to be a wife's slave or remain his sister's slave.

With light talks of Arna and Finn, they had breakfast and Rose voluntarily chose to do the dishes. Arsh got off from his chair once his sister was done gobbling the food until she was satisfied seeing her plump stomach.

While passing by Finn, he paused trying to collect words of what to say before he opened his lips seeing Finn's expectant and curious gaze, "Uncle Finn, have you thought what Snow said might be true?"

The riddle master walked to the couch to watch the kids' education channel on the television, leaving Finn all confused.

Arna pointed to herself and asked Finn with a hint of sadness, "Darling, did I lie? Is Brother angry at me? I didn't do anything."

Seeing her eyes turn red, Finn scooped her into his arms and started thinking about everything Arna said and his jaw almost dropped understanding what Arsh meant.

His eyes went onwards to the kitchen where a slender woman had tied an apron around her waist causing it to look even smaller as she carefully took care of each dishware like a priceless thing.

"Rose likes me? But she cries seeing me." He mumbled but it caught the ears of the little girl who was hugging him.

Arna unwrapped her arms and looked at him in surprise, "You got to know? Dad said not to say anything so I didn't tell."

Finn's lips twitched hearing her. Firstly she was the one who told Alan sitting right in front of him and secondly, Alan already knows. So Aria too knows? Finn knew those two never hid things from each other so his mind started to work in the round course.

He carried Arna and paced in the living hall patting her back. After the first analysis, he dialed his assistant Dustin and the latter picked the call at the last ring, [President Stanley]

Finn who wanted to ask a question directly paused, after giving a thought, he played, "Come here and drop Rose back to her place."

He heard an awkward laugh before the excuse, [President Stanley, I came to my in law's place. It's not- I mean it's a little difficult.]

Finn didn't know if he was really at his in-law's place but he knew Dustin was giving a reason so that he would get time to spend with Rose.

Finn's tone turned cold and domineering for the next question, "Dustin, think very carefully before answering me. Why did Rose work for a month as my secretary?"

The line fell silent and Finn had the answer. He knew he kept Dustin in a difficult position between him and Aria yet he did and as he expected, Dustin chose him over Aria, [President Cooper and I created it to know if you could like Secretary Rose.]

Of course, Dustin didn't entirely blame Aria, 'cause he also wanted to see if it could work out. Anyway, he also felt bad for selling off Aria, at the same time his loyalty to Finn isn't questioned.

Finn hummed and hung up the call, letting Dustin take a breath. Despite Levi knowing Finn better than Aria, how his loyalty to Aria is never questioned, it was the same for Dustin and Nathan for their presidents.

Now the main question, 'Does Rose really like me? Or Alia wants me to date Rose?' He thought to himself and realized he patted Arna to sleep.

Stuffing his mobile into his pocket, he carried her in a princess style without disturbing her nap to see her peaceful sleeping and also drooling. He was sure she would be dreaming of tasty food and drooling over it.

Tucking her on his bed, he went out thinking about what he was expecting. He didn't know what to do or how to handle the situation. That finally led him to lean on the kitchen cabinet looking at Rose who tensed right after seeing him silently stand near her.

'Seriously? If she likes me, why is she trembling and so careful?' He thought about how to ask or how to know. He didn't want to ask directly and hear her laugh at him. Also, he knew he can't ask her in a roundabout because she would just answer to what she understands.

For example, 'Why did you work as my secretary?' Her response would be, 'President Cooper sent me there and you needed a secretary.'

Example two, 'Why did Alan and Alia send you here?' The response would be, 'To help you look after two babies.'

Then Finn realized, excluding Aria, Arna, and his mother, Rose was the first woman he knew her responses and reactions without needing to ask anything.

'When did I give her so much importance and attention?' He asked himself looking at blushing Rose who was drying the washed plates.

'Is she embarrassed or shy?' He was confused. 'Does she like me?' He needed to ask.

He coughed lightly and inquired, "Rose…"
