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 Isla barged in and created high drama. Alan's complete attention was on their plate and on her. She knew Alan didn't give damn about Isla Turner.
"I don't know."
Alan chuckled again making her push him away, "I heard we can hire a male stripper. Let see how you will react when it happens in front of ."
Seeing Aria leave the table Alan thought she was going towards the door to call for the stripper and held her hand quickly pulling her back to him glaring at her gritting his teeth.
Aria chortled pointing his face, "You can't even hear say it and you asking 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 black device.
"Alan, 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 rembering her say as a miniature device he whispered, "It's a bug. Sobody is overhearing us. Don't react. We will eat normally."
Aria was smart hence she didn't panic and nodded hearing Alan say in a normal tone, "It's so broken piece. Let's eat."
Both sat and ate as they normally talked.
Alan ssaged 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 ters. They must be in the restaurant."
Alan couldn't control his smile hearing Aria say "Ice cream" because there was silence for a long ti.
Alan wrote on paper, "Get a complete list of restaurant guests if you couldn't trace." as he responded to Aria, "We will eat at your favorite outlet."
Aria controlled her laughter and humd eating her ice cream.
Alan bit her cheek knowing she wouldn't shout knowing sobody was hearing them. Aria rubbed her cheek and ate responding to him as she flushed getting kissed on cheeks multiple tis.
Alan got to know there was an amplifier that could transmit the signal to farther place 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.
Alia and Rian tried their best to put poker face when Alan went upstairs.
Then both rolled on the couch leaving Rowan and Aria speechless. Aria nurous tis tried to run away but the mother and son teased pulling her back between them by taking Alan's na.
When Alan 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, Alia and Rian suggestively dragged the subject na, "Chemistry..."
Aria ran away without responding as the duo laughed but Alan 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 sothing serious.
Alan then ordered, "My study."
Rowan and Alia blankly followed him looking at each other thinking about what they might have done.
Alan threw two broken bugs on his desk after both sat down, "Aria's room was bugged."
"What?" Alia and Rowan asked in unison in shock.
Alan 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.
Alan leisurely spoke, "There is soone who is behind Dad Oliver's accident or should I say murder? I think the sa 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 sa person. But the question is how can anybody bug a room in a highly secured mansion?"
Alia and Rowan had no answer. With that, they needed ti to digest what they heard.
Alan was thinking about what to do, Alia hesitatingly asked, "Arrie... is she in danger?"
Alan'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 ."
He finished saying and exited the room. He asked so to reach the mansion quickly. He got fresh and took Aria and Rian to his room in the na of chemistry as five n thoroughly checked the mansion, lawn area, garage for bugs.
Alia and Rowan were shocked to see a bug from the living hall which those n destroyed with an amplifier.
They collected the video footage of three months before leaving the mansion.
Alan checked the ssage from his n and saw Rian cursing him and Aria for being quick with topics. He threw Rian out saying his teacher or Aria would teach him later.
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 Alan helping Aria to drink who was in the half-asleep state mumbling, 'Why are you feeding like a pig?' and dozed off after drinking and leaning on him without knowing about the housekeeper's presence.
Alan gently wiped her lips and carried her to bed when the housekeeper left. He tucked her in and continued his office work nonchalantly.
After soti Alia knocked lightly on the door and peeked in to see them in disappointnt. She had heard housekeeper excitedly say about how Alan took care of Aria. "Arrie was right. My son is very boring who always works."
Alan was amused and glanced at Aria who was peacefully sleeping on his bed.
Alia continued, "In this, your father is better. He cuddles to sleep."
Alan 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."
