Chapter 365: Coddle endlessly


    At Corpus Ball


    n stepped in wearing a clean shirt and buttoned it up fully to support the graceful bow tie he was wearing. On top of the shirt he was wearing a trendy vest with five buttons, it had a fairly deep v-line, which causes the vest to line up perfectly with the jacket''s v-line when it''s button-up.


    The jacket was clearly made for him, it was a perfect fit. The single button of his single-breasted jacket was buttoned up, a subtle touch of coldness on his face worked perfectly. He was wearing perfectlyplementing shoes.


    There wasn''t anyone in the hall who didn''t turn to look at the man who paused in nonchnce. Another man at the side wasn''t any less attractive. With his build and style, it was hard to say him as an assistant.


    Nathan took the lead as he spoke, "President Morgan, President Steve is in the right, attending especially for you."


    n merely hummed and while eyes registered where Xoan was standing and saw Finn.


    The jacket was a perfectly tailored fit for Finn. It had a subtle pinstripe pattern which gave him an elegant look. It was simple but the elegant nket id pattern, giving the suit a dignified and royal look.


    When Finn and n''s eyes met, both indistinctly nodded at each other as greeting and thetter went to meet President Steve who was Morse Industriespetitor. As a businessman, n knew well when and where to pull strings in favor.


    n nodded or ignored if anybody forcefully greeted him. Nathan saw a fewpany presidents greeting n with their daughter and suppressed his smirk putting on a professional smile.


    "President Morgan, finally we meet."


    n and a middle-aged man shook their hands. While n was aloof, that man had a smile which was speaking of his experience in the business.


    "President Steve." n greeted and grabbed a champagne flute from the waiter before clinking President Steve''s ss tip and took a sip.


    Nathan was used to the numerous gazes being around n. So he just grabbed a flute for formality making sure there wasn''t any threat when Aria will arrive. It wasn''t even five minutes, he felt like he saw somebody well known.


    He whispered covering his mouth with the backhand, "President Morgan, I need to check on somebody. I will be back."


    n just responded with a single nod and gave his attention back to President Steve who was talking about the cooperation between twopanies.


    Nathan who traced a beige glittering gown had reached the bar counter when he got a glimpse of a morousdy and he was stunned, ''What is she doing here?''


    Just at the movement, all started chewing over thedy who stepped in her unique non-glittering tulle blue hues ball gown.


    The dress had left the top of her shoulders uncovered revealing her fair spotless skin. Her arms werepletely left in and simple, a choice which added to the elegance and grace of the dress.


    The dress'' waist was in a darker hue, a bow was wrapped around her that had artisticyers that were all needed as a perfect adornment. Her strands of curled hair were grazing her shoulder and her rest hair was tied in elegant hairdo.


    In between shimmers, she was a pure beauty grabbing everyone''s exmation in her simplicity and lucidity.


    President Steveplimented to n, "Your wife is exquisite. You are a lucky man."


    n didn''t peel his eyes away from her when he responded proudly, "I know." In eye-blinding gaudy shimmers and glitters, his wife was a bright luminous star for him.


    Finn''s eyes were glued on to Aria''s pretty dainty face which never failed to get his attention amidst anything around.


    Xoan mouth was slightly ajar looking at Aria. There wasn''t any expensive jewelry on her but she was priceless to the eyes. Peeling his eyes away thinking about the<em> ''Little girl''</em>, n''s wife, he suddenly felt n''s wife could be Aria as both are married. He felt it was possible because both of their builds were the same. Without Xin beside, he could only gulp his doubt down to his stomach.


    If n''s appearance was totally unexpected, no one thought the new young sensational President would be attending the ball. A few young heirs and CEOs or presidents were nning to grab the chance to have a talk but the expressionless man behind her left them to think twice.


    The Corpus Ball wasn''t a ce for Levi to rx and enjoy. He was cold, alert, officious, and unapproachable to make sure Aria was safe who attracts attention without doing anything or just by standing.


    Aria was taking a step inside her eyes and fell on ady who was gracefully walking towards her. <em>''Whatis she doing here?''</em> Aria thought to herself without showing much on her face.


    A deep low voice rang in her ear from the small earpiece which was attached to her diamond stud. <em>[Honey, what''s wrong?]</em>


    Aria walked in and turned to Levi responding to n, "Forty five-degree to your right."


    Levi checked who was at n''s 45 degrees and a frown passed swiftly on his face. n casually saw thedy, even though he was conflicted by her presence in the high-end ball, he said something different, "You are the prettiest sweetheart. Ignore the rest."


    Aria involuntarily smiled hearing her husband who keeps the worry with him to make her smile happily.


    President Steve who started to eat dog food looking at the couple drowned his champagne and remarked, "President Morgan treasures his treasure pretty well."


    n''s gentle voice turned void of emotions to respond to him, "My wife is meant to be treasured."


    Aria didn''t want to smile and bring unnecessary trouble but her husband started unting to the middle-aged man, "My love, don''t just treasure, you better coddle me endlessly."


    She had just finished saying that thedy greeted, "President Cooper."


    Aria saw thedy in a blush pink couture dress covering her shoulders and flowing down into a beautiful drape. Monroe Grayson undoubtedly makes sure to look like an innocent princess.


    "Ms.Grayson!" She slightly nodded her head and thought of leaving but Monroe continued to speak, "Why didn''t you bring your husband? Are you ashamed to show him?"


    Aria sweetly smiled, ashamed? She would love to loudly scream to the world about her husband, "Even if I bring him, he wouldn''t spare a nce at you or talk to you. Have a good evening."


    Monroe''s face turned dark and turned around to snap at her but her ball partner gently shook his head to cue her to be inposure.


    Aria who took steps ahead saw Nathan whose hands were slightly fidgety without showing on his face. She followed his line of sight to see a sexydy in a beige glittering gown.


    <em>''What the freaking hell is going on?''</em> This time she took a second topose herself.
