Livid Guardian's Endless Coddling

Chapter 27: Steal her away



Chapter 27: Steal her away

Alan turned around and continued his work as he responded passively, "I'm her guardian. What do you think?"

Isaac wanted to whack his head on the marble top. "Brainless man! Stop assuming yourself as her guardian for everything. She will be major soon. Will you also say yourself as her guardian then? Put away your business and philomath brain. There is nothing wrong with liking or loving somebody."

Isaac understood where the problem lies but he didn't know how to solve it. He didn't let Alan rebuff and asked, "When did you meet her third time?"

Alan didn't speak again and finished the kitchen work before turning on the business news.

It infuriated Isaac, "Fine, be her guardian. Since I'm good at picking up on girls, I don't think she will say no to me. Die alone watching me take your girl away."

Isaac got up and moved towards the exit but stumbled due to Alan who stretched his long leg, "She doesn't need a playboy like you."

Isaac threw the jacket on the couch, "Alan Morgan! Do you know the cost of my face? I have millions of fans and a few upcoming movies, how dare you trip me? What if it ruined my face?"

Alan brushed his eyes on him who was huffing. He turned off the television before answering him, "My company can build a new artist for your fans and movies."

The disclaimed actor sat on the couch having such a friend. His expression was grave cursing his own life.

Alan smacked his head, "Then I saw Aria in Rian's birthday party..."

Alan sighed looking at Isaac cheering up instantly. "After that, in the hospital... She moved to the mansion. Anything else Actor Ross?"

Isaac lazied on the couch for some time and walked around before coming to the conclusion and said excitedly, "Alan! It was Love At Sight. You liked her from the time you saw her at your banquet. Don't you?"

Alan ignored him but he also knew he was right. He pulled his laptop out to work but Isaac kept his laptop away and sat with him.

"I don't mind even if you break my bone, I will say it. You are Aria Cooper's legal guardian because she is minor that's it. You liking her and your responsibility doesn't collide. Don't bury your feelings just because you are her legal guardian. Maybe because of you, she will get a family and she will feel at home in your mansion. You said she understood you despite you treated her badly. Given your personality, you will not get better than her. I know you don't like dating multiple women to choose one. Since you like her, give yourself a chance to explore a new relationship, you may fall for her eventually."

Alan heard him but didn't respond. He didn't want to step ahead if it's for only making her feel at home or alleviate the insecurity because the relationship doesn't stand on that...

Isaac who waited pretty long saw his expressionless face only. Controlling himself from beating him, he asked, "For god's sake, say something."

Alan reacted by moving his eyes, "She is just a little girl."

Isaac burst into laughter rolling on the couch, "Don't tell me you think yourself as an old uncle just because you managing two companies. You are just 22 and she will be eighteen soon. Four damn years. Buddy! wake up fast. You have to pursue her as a young man not as the CEO of two companies."

Alan pushed him away and went out.

Isaac understood he was thinking about giving it a try hence started giving tips seeing Alan removing dried fallen leaves from the pool.

"It isn't difficult to woo a girl... Hmm, It is difficult for you though. Since your girl is super rich and very young, you just have to be there for her when she needs..."

Alan glanced at Isaac and continued his work remembering her reaction when he had said 'I'm there for you.'

"Pamper her... Cajole her... Help her when she needs... Be protective... Know her likes and dislikes... Don't force her... Defend her in public, correct her in private... Trust her... ... ..."

Isaac went on and on with his advice as he followed him everywhere in the mansion who was cleaning up. Alan heard him all the time and handed a cloth to clean which Isaac did as he continued.

When Isaac stopped they had cleaned the entire villa and settled on the couch. Alan passed him a glass of water, "You talk too much."

Isaac gritted his teeth and gulped down the entire glass of water, "I..."

Alan cut in, "What if she likes somebody else? Or... my brother?"

Isaac scratched his head. He didn't think that way even once. Seeing Alan leave, he thought he was dispirited. He got up and shot behind him towards the kitchen.

"If your brother! I can't say anything. If others, Steal her away man. Who can say no to your face and physique even though you are little off about girls."

Alan handed him vegetables from the refrigerator to wash. "So! Do I have to be with a girl who likes my face and physique?"

Isaac's lips twitched. After remembering about whatever he heard about Aria, he spoke, "If President Cooper was somebody going behind face and physique, she would have proposed or clingy on you by now. She has hell lots of money so money doesn't matter. So I think she just needs somebody who loves her unconditionally... Even if she stays with you for your face and body, isn't that easier for you to woo her. Stop asking such questions. Be optimistic."

Alan pursed his lips looking at annoyed Isaac. He just asked two questions and he was annoyed. "You put your diploma in psychology to good use." Alan started to cook with his help.

Isaac shot him daggers, "If not, how could I even be with you and understand you?"

Alan didn't respond to it and Isaac continued to torture him with Aria's name even after lunch followed by dinner. Alan couldn't kick him out and he stayed over until the next day both dispersed towards their workplaces.

--

Eva, Rian, Noah, Aria went on shopping, movie, lunch, and played in the arcade until they were tired. For dinner, they went to Eva's place whose mother had invited them for dinner.

Four always liked Eva's mother's authentic Cantonese cuisine than in the restaurant. Hence they filled their stomach full before all shamelessly laying in the living hall.

Noah and Rian went to a club later for partying and drinking with other friends. A driver picked Aria back to the Morgan mansion.
