Chapter 109: I will take Aria with me
Aria whined when she couldn''t hold the pain to which she thought he would leave her but he made her sit on the dining table as he gently caressed her until the numbness and pain resided from her tongue.
He broke the kiss happily by her instinctive reactions while kissing.
Seeing her red as scarlet he chuckled teasingly and received another shove from her. He didn''t mind and embraced her tightly.
"I don''t care about anybody. I only want you." He moved his lips near her ear, "For everything."
Aria blushed when his lips touched her ear but didn''t reply and heard him after a few seconds, "Why were you angry?"
Aria gave it a thought. She knew I barged in and created high drama. n''splete attention was on their te and on her. She knew n didn''t give damn about I Turner.
"I don''t know."
n chuckled again making her push him away, "I heard we can hire a male stripper. Let me see how you will react when it happens in front of me."
Seeing Aria leave the table n thought she was going towards the door to call for the stripper and held her hand quickly pulling her back to him ring at her gritting his teeth.
Aria chortled pointing his face, "You can''t even hear me say it and you asking me why I was angry after watching."
She went ahead and closed the window letting him sigh. Due to curtains, they hadn''t noticed the open window. But Aria returned to him showing a small ck device.
"n, what is this? I haven''t seen these types of things... It''s looking like a miniature device." Aria handed him to see his face turn cold.
A bug.
Aria had to shook his arm to receive any response. He wanted to say it was nothing but remembering her say as a miniature device he whispered, "It''s a bug. Somebody is overhearing us. Don''t react. We will eat normally."
Aria was smart hence she didn''t panic and nodded hearing n say in a normal tone, "It''s some broken piece. Let''s eat."
Both sat and ate as they normally talked.
n messaged his technical team and sent the pictures of it. After about twenty minutes, they silently checked the device in the room before writing on the paper, "Transmitting range is less than two hundred meters. They must be in the restaurant."
n couldn''t control his smile hearing Aria say "Ice cream" because there was silence for a long time.
n wrote on paper, <em>"Get me aplete list of restaurant guests if you couldn''t trace."</em> as he responded to Aria, "We will eat at your favorite outlet."
Aria controlled herughter and hummed eating her ice cream.
n bit her cheek knowing she wouldn''t shout knowing somebody was hearing them. Aria rubbed her cheek and ate responding to him as she flushed getting kissed on cheeks multiple times.
n got to know there was an amplifier that could transmit the signal to farther ce leaving them at the dead end.
After making sure his car wasn''t bugged, he left the restaurant with Aria. Both reached the Morgan mansion soon.
Amelia and Rian tried their best to put poker face when n went upstairs.
Then both rolled on the couch leaving Rowan and Aria speechless. Aria numerous times tried to run away but the mother and son teased pulling her back between them by taking n''s name.
When n returned near the stairs, Aria was looking like a delicious raspberry. He went downstairs and pulled Aria away from the duo. He dotingly said, "Get fresh, I will teach chemistry."
Aria was about to nod, Amelia and Rian suggestively dragged the subject name, "Chemistry..."
Aria ran away without responding as the duoughed but n turned cold right after Aria went out of sight, "Rian, back to your room."
The trio stiffened hearing his overbearing tone. Rian nodded and left obediently knowing there was something serious.
n then ordered, "My study."
Rowan and Amelia nkly followed him looking at each other thinking about what they might have done.
n threw two broken bugs on his desk after both sat down, "Aria''s room was bugged."
"What?" Amelia and Rowan asked in unison in shock.
n had purposefully sent Aria to the living hall taking her bag saying ''sit and talk''. He had taken his bug detector and checked her room to find two bugs. Then he checked his study and his bedroom but found none.
n leisurely spoke, "There is someone who is behind Dad Oliver''s ident or should I say murder? I think the same one keeping eye on Aria too. We have no lead. My team didn''t get to know who supported Lucas Cooper financially during the case. It can be the same person. But the question is how can anybody bug a room in a highly secured mansion?"
Amelia and Rowan had no answer. With that, they needed time to digest what they heard.
n was thinking about what to do, Amelia hesitatingly asked, "Arrie... is she in danger?"
n''s face turned darker hearing her. "Killing her doesn''t get them anything. Kidnapping..." He shook his head having no answer for it. "Unsure. Filter the maids if any. If I see anything like this again, I will take Aria with me."
He finished saying and exited the room. He asked some to reach the mansion quickly. He got fresh and took Aria and Rian to his room in the name of chemistry as five men thoroughly checked the mansion,wn area, garage for bugs.
Amelia and Rowan were shocked to see a bug from the living hall which those men destroyed with an amplifier.
They collected the video footage of three months before leaving the mansion.
n checked the message from his men and saw Rian cursing him and Aria for being quick with topics. He threw Rian out saying his teacher or Aria would teach himter.
Aria continued her school studies in his room and he worked near his desk without disturbing each other. When the housekeeper brought milk, Aria was asleep on the couch holding her book.
The housekeeper delightedly watched n helping Aria to drink who was in the half-asleep state mumbling, <em>''Why are you feeding me like a pig?''</em> and dozed off after drinking and leaning on him without knowing about the housekeeper''s presence.
n gently wiped her lips and carried her to bed when the housekeeper left. He tucked her in and continued his office work nonchntly.
After sometime Amelia knocked lightly on the door and peeked in to see them in disappointment. She had heard housekeeper excitedly say about how n took care of Aria. "Arrie was right. My son is very boring who always works."
n was amused and nced at Aria who was peacefully sleeping on his bed.
Amelia continued, "In this, your father is better. He cuddles me to sleep."
n crossed his arms leaning back on the chair, "Mom, do you think I will keep the door unlocked if I cuddle my girl?" He was casual till that and turned cold, "Go to bed. Stop watching those teenagers'' dramas."
