Livid Guardian's Endless Coddling

Aria pouted looking outside the window. 'President Morgan! I didn't know you are a flagrant man. You are avenging me, aren't you? I didn't know you want me to sell you off to a random girl.'

Aria replied to Eva typing 'We got caught by the shameless Prince who took my mobile without permission'.

Eva didn't care about Alan as she wasn't in front of him and replied to her, 'So you will get eaten up by Prince for sure. Give me a full update on how he eats you... Yum! (lip-smacking emojis) Hehehe.'

Aria's lips twitched, 'I'm not fruit or vegetable. Get lost."

Eva who was in her room rolled on her bed remembering Aria's state in the car. 'Sweety! You are raw tender tasty yummy meat. Tastier than those useless fruits or vegetables. Ask Prince if you want.'

'You are implausible! I'm dying of embarrassment.'

Eva couldn't understand how could Alan tolerate all these given his temper. She didn't get much information from Rian when she asked why Aria had to tag along and why the whole family was asking her to be the third wheel. Rian had repeated what Aria had told her.

She thought to wait for the third date situation and decide if Alan or the Morgan family was doing it on purpose or it was just a coincidence. If Alan just has dinner with Aria, then she was going to break the news to Aria.

She teased Aria for sometime before stopping. She was going out to dinner with her family.

Aria sighed and raised her head slowly checking his expression. Alan purposefully didn't poke in between giving her time to relax because they weren't that close.

Later they generally spoke and reached the restaurant. Both were on time and his date entered after five minutes.

Aria turned to see the girl who was her age. She was an example of high maintenance, self-obsessed, pampered, and spoiled kid.

"Hey! President Morgan... And you?" She looked at Aria who was sitting and looking at her.

"You must be another girl on the date. You should back off now itself. You don't suit the Alan Morgan. Even though you are good to look, your dressing sense is a little poor. Are you from a middle-class family? Anyway, none of my business. I have given you a heads up..."

Bewilderment etched on Aria's face seeing her going on and on. She didn't get a chance to say anything. Alan played dumb and deaf other than looking at Aria occasionally.

"Did I introduce myself? I'm Pinto Lincoln. Beloved and only Daughter of President Lincoln. We manufacture the famous cosmetic brand and Perfume..."

The Lincoln company was nothing in front of the Cooper empire. 'Ms. Lincoln, who are you calling poor?'

"... President Morgan, I like your outfit. You are very attractive in real than in pictures. I liked you when I first time saw your picture in the magazine. My favorite actor, Isaac Ross is your friend, isn't he? Can you introduce him to me? Do you know? I have watched all his movies twice. Can you let me debut with Isaac Ross? It will be very easy for you, isn't it? I know you are very workaholic and powerful in the business circle. It's hard to get the young man in such a good position with bewitching looks..."

She carried on and on...

Aria's lips had formed a small O hearing her. She didn't even touch the menu and passed it to Alan.

Alan knew Aria was completely out of sorts hearing Pinto Lincoln chatter alone and she was blank hearing Pinto. He cut the steak he ordered for her and even-handed her the fork. He controlled his laughter seeing her keeping an empty fork into her mouth a few times.

Pinto ate her salad and continued. She appreciated it when Alan attentively cut Aria's steak for being a gentleman and told about her diet plan.

Aria didn't even notice she drank two glasses of juice in which one glass was Alan's. She turned to Alan feeling breathless, "I need to go out for fresh air. I... I'm feeling suffocated."

She got up and went before taking long deep breaths. She couldn't understand how could anybody talk nonstop with unknowns. Alan followed her out ignoring Pinto Lincoln asking 'What happened? Are you going to use the restroom?...' etcetera.

Alan dabbed his handkerchief on Aria's forehead and heard her, "Was she a robot? I never saw anybody talking so much. I felt like there was a race going on and she had to finish talking in the specified time reaching the final line as a winner. I'm still feeling dizzy remembering her."

Alan had dabbed his handkerchief on her neck which had precipitation. He removed strands of hair off from her face as he asked, "Are you alright?"

Aria nodded with hum and raised her head a little to face him to tease. "Young master Morgan! you don't talk and she talks to everyone. Do you want to go for the second date? You can listen to her every single minute changing your silent life as a race of words. She will also spend your money well on all the high brands. She just wants a private jet, gift it to her at your wedding instead of a diamond wedding ring."

Aria finished and giggled.

Alan just smiled, "I didn't know you want me to turn deaf first then die soon."

Aria smiled and took him inside the private room, she didn't let Pinto Lincoln speak and started, "Ms. Lincoln, We hope you finished your dinner. President Morgan is tired and wishes to rest at home. The Morgan family will contact your family about President Morgan's decision. Have..."

Pinto cut in, "Are you President Morgan's assistant or secretary?" She thought Aria was working under Alan hence she was speaking for him.

"No!... Thank you, Ms. Lincoln. We will be leaving now."

Aria saw Pinto Lincoln opening her mouth hence she dragged Alan out taking long strides that speed was nothing to Alan's long legs. He saw her holding his arm as she yammered, "Fast fast fast..."

She breathed a sigh of relief after entering the elevator and left his hand. "I hope I don't get a fever tonight. Pinto Lincoln is so scary."

Alan caressed her hair adoringly.

Pinto Lincoln wasn't so much talkative. She was self-centered and egoistic who took what she wanted by hook or by crook. She had heard Alan doesn't like to talk hence she assumed that he likes who talks a lot. But she kept everything about herself for thirty-plus minutes and answered her questions herself.

Alan drove Aria to the Morgan mansion with light talk.

Aria got fresh before calling Eva to report. Alan was leaning on her room door frame when she was rolling on the bed laughing, telling about Pinto Lincoln, and mimicked her a few times.

He wanted to ask if she wants to study chemistry hence he had gone to her room since she was busy on a call, he went to his study taking his laptop to do some work, and checked on Aria before going to the bed.
