At Tea house,

Instead of usual dates at cafes or restaurants, Aria and Finn who probably didn't give so much thought, so much time to decide their own dates with their spouses discussed for a long time to choose the Tea house depending on both Winston Wen and Melissa Morse taste.

​​

The cafe was structured in such a way that they had inter walls in the form of open wooden cupboards. Each block either carried books or some unique olden tea-making equipment.

The tea house was located near a well-maintained but small lake. The lawn around the lake was beautiful with huge willow trees around. There was seating outside the tea house giving an ample place, space, and a peaceful atmosphere to spend time.

Hence the tea house attracts bookworms, reading enthusiasts, peace seekers, tea lovers with some tasty snacks.

Finn had just seen pictures whereas Aria and Alan had been there when they wanted to spend time with each other in a peaceful environment. That way the location was set and Winston reached on time.

He was alighting his car when a hybrid sports car and a sedan parked next to his. Winston was in a simple semi-formal look without overdoing anything. He was totally composed unlike how the young adults go on a blind date.

He identified the sports as it was the only model in the country and it is owned by Aria. He was expecting an old lady to get off the shotgun seat but a little pair of legs stepped out and closed the door.

"Hello, Grandfather Winston." Arsh greeted with a bow.

'Grandfather.' Winston was surprised by hearing it instead of Professor. He gave in to his temptation and carried him up in his arms glancing at Aria alighting the car.

Instead of treating the little one as a kid, he asked as though he was talking with a teenager, "What made you change address me as a grandfather, Arsh Morgan?"

Arsh didn't evade his arms and glanced at his mother with a big grin. He was excited because he and his mother were watching their outfit. White jeans with blue denim shirt pairing with white running shoes. Arsh was loving it.

He almost answered, 'Because I am happy.' But controlled and reasoned, "Momma calls you Uncle, that makes you my grandfather. And Grandmother Melissa is your date, So."

Winston took a second to absorb that the mother and son were in matching outfits before asking him, "You know my date?" He was curious to know who his date could be that she is capable of making Arsh address her as a grandmother.

Before Arsh could respond, the driver of the sedan placed the electric wheelchair next to the door after opening it.

Winston's brows knitted. He avoided making any judgment so soon.

Arsh responded following his line of sight, "She is my grandmother's twin sister, Melissa Morse, Chairman Morse, former president of Morse Industries."

Arsh fluently and completely gave the introduction of Melissa Morse before he noticed Winston's face turn dark.

Morse? Winston had followed the problems that Aria faced. So when Oliver Cooper's case was closed concluding as it was a murder, he clearly remembers it was a vice president Terrance Morse from Morse Industries.

So why is Aria still in contact with that family? His every cell and blood said Morse is evil and they will hurt Aria.

Anyway, it still didn't register to him that his date is Arsh's grandmother's twin sister.

Winston saw a middle-aged woman shift from the back seat to the wheelchair on her own. Winston's brow slightly furrowed without understanding why he felt the resemblance looking at the half face.

He saw Aria speak something to Melissa before the two women turned to Winston and Arsh. The latter smiled at his mother, silently saying, 'Momma, we have a date too. Let's go fast.'

Aria smiled at her excited son and before her eyes landed on Winston who had deep frowns and a fighting dilemma. She wasn't expecting him to identify Melissa as a look-alike of Emily.

Winston had seen Emily about twenty-five years back, even if the aging of Melissa was easy on the eyes, there were still changes in outlook so obviously, it's hard identity.

His cold gaze shifted to Aria and blandly asked without bothering to hide his dislike towards the Morse family, "You are close with the murder's family who killed your father."

Aria gritted her teeth, her gaze turned sharp-looking straight into his eyes. She so wanted to scold that man for saying it in front of Arsh. He was too young to know that.

Melissa was momentarily out of sorts. She was glad neither Aria nor the Morgan family treats her on the scale of her brother but she had forgotten the world sees her differently.

Arsh was uneasy hearing Winston's words and extended her hands at Aria, "Momma…" He urged his mother to carry him. His excitement lowered to discomfort.

Winston remembered Arsh and regretted speaking his mind.

Carrying Arsh, Aria coaxed him but she had to promise him that she would brief him about it before seeing him ease up and sit in the car to wait for them.

By the time she stood to face the man, he was astonished looking at Melissa and the latter wasn't even facing him cursing her own life.

Winston asked to confirm, "Chairman Morse looks like Emily."

Melissa and Aria glanced at each other before facing the man.

Aria wanted to settle them inside and clear the misunderstanding first but she didn't want to leave Arsh alone in the car.

"Uncle Winston, Mom, and Aunt Melissa are twins but Mom grew up in the Parker family. Yes, Terrance Morse took my dad's life but that doesn't mean I will punish the whole family and leave my biological maternal family."

Winston didn't care about Terrance anymore, he was shocked to know Emily and Melissa are twins. He was inarticulate to respond to anything.

He didn't know if he should think as Aria's father died due to her uncle or say something to Melissa.

Anyway, he blurted out, "Why did Terrence Morse kill your father?"

Aria and Melissa: "..."

Are they going to talk about it? But she knew it was necessary to clear it out. "He didn't want mom to ask for Morse's inheritance but I was born. Dad got to know Mom's real identity so…"

Winston saw the look in Aria and Melissa's eyes and pointed at Melissa as he guessed, "So he is the reason for Chairman Morse to end up in a wheelchair?"

Aria didn't want to talk about the past so she requested "Professor Wen, can we please not talk about the past now? You guys have to talk first, know about each other, and decide what to do. Cool?"

Winston and Melissa glanced at each other and the latter commented, "You sound like you want to get rid of us." And she chuckled.

That wasn't Aria's aim but she nodded, "I have a date evening with my son, he is already sulking waiting for me."

She pointed to the windshield turning to her car. Arsh who was stuck to the window, rolled it down and asked, "Momma, are we going now?"

Aria so loved his excitement instead of silently waiting for her.

The older ones chuckled looking at them. They sent her with her son before they went inside to the tea house.
