Livid Guardian's Endless Coddling - Chapter 655: Mutual Decision

Noor wasn’t as dumb as he had thought. He wanted to tell her that she had walked too far. She didn’t rush with him, she was taking time with her feelings and taking time to confess to him. He had accepted that she would take more time. But she turned out to be too fast.

“Noor…” There was mirth in his tone.

Noor latched on him tighter when he tried to break her hug. She protested with a whine but didn’t let him look at her.

“Let me look at you.”

“No.” She denied it without a second thought.

Arsh chuckled hearing her, “Will hide each time you say you love me?”

Noor nodded as she added, “Yes.” She wanted to vanish from there.

Arsh sighed. Sometimes she behaves so mature and sometimes like a little shy girl. He gave another try, “Are you shy or reluctant?”

Noor gritted her teeth and broke from his arms. She grumpily responded, “I am not reluctant.” Then she realized he tricked her. Her face flushed deep red and tried to run away, forgetting the floating deck.

Arsh was quick to pull her to his arms before she could stupidly fall into the water. He demanded, seeing her gaze go everywhere but him, “Say it.” He demanded.

He started imagining Noor running away from him for a day or two after their first night. He wouldn’t be surprised if that happens. It made him silently chuckle instead of sad.

Noor retorted, for hearing him give the orders, “No.”

Arsh cupped her face, forcefully made her look into him. “Try again… For me.” This time his requesting and affectionate voice melted her faster than the snowflake under the sun.

She squeezed her eyes and opened one. She bit her lips and her fingers tugged at his shirt and finally, she brought herself to say looking at him with both eyes, “I love you.”

Arsh immediately chuckled when she buried her face on his chest. Shouldn’t the proposals and confessions be romantic and emotional? He got the lively and funny one with the shy bun in his arms.

Noor slapped his back, “Don’t laugh.” She cried.

Arsh tried to pull her head back and say it on her face but she just buried herself in him. His hand caressed her head trying to make her comfortable, “I love you too, NOOR.” He stressed her name, reminding her she doesn’t call his name yet. “And yes, I am going to marry this shy girlfriend of mine.”

Noor grinned at hearing him. She turned around in his arms, without showing her face. Holding his hand, she put the ring to his finger. She squatted and took the lady’s ring and handed it to him. Spreading her fingers, she urged him to put it on her.

Arsh was smiling nonstop seeing her every action. He could have turned her around but didn’t. He didn’t want to make her uncomfortable. He put the ring on for her and watched her play with their hands looking at the rings.

She tried to steal glances of him a few times before she exploded the bomb, very carefully. She was careful due to her family’s reaction. “Then… are we registering our marriage today or Monday?”

‘Marriage!?’ Arsh twirled her and asked in confusion, “Register the marriage? So soon?” As per her plan, they would be having a double wedding. It would probably take five to six months.

Noor patiently explained her plan and her reasons. She also told him what her father said. She waited for his response watching him utterly mute the whole time.

Arsh could easily guess what was going on in Noah’s head hearing all of it and giving her permission. Anyhow he stared at the hopeful gaze of his little fiancee.

He had spoiled her. “Nope.” His voice was crystal clear when he rejected. He couldn’t believe she came up with something like that. He was struggling his hardest to put on indifference when he was bewildered to his bones.

Probably he is the only man in the world who just got engaged and rejected to marry her immediately. ‘Which idiot corrupted her brain?’ Arsh thought, looking away from her. He wanted to crush that person and bury him ten feet in the ground.

Noor circled Arsh when he turned away. “Why?” She sweetly asked.

Arsh turned away again. He knows that he will do anything for her. Rejecting her would become more troublesome if she keeps making that innocent face. He didn’t want to do this. This was outrageous. He didn’t want to torture himself for five months minimum.

Noor again circled him like a child, unwilling to give up. “Why? Is there a problem?”

Arsh: “…”

‘Problem?’ Nothing was right in it. He breathed slowly and suggested, “How about we celebrate engagement today every year and wedding another day?” She will get two days as a celebration. Wasn’t it a good plan?

Noor looked at the ring on her finger and looked at the floating deck. This was the best memory she could save with her forever. And it was also the first day she confessed. So she lifted her head and flashed him the sweetest and most alluring smile she ever held. “That’s great. Could we come here every year then?”

Arsh felt like a load was lifted off his chest. He knew her intentions were as pure as her words. She just wanted more reasons to be happy with him. Fulfilling her wish was all he needed to solve it.

He embraced her feeling relief washed over him. He felt good that he knew in and out of her and solved it without any sad feelings. “As you…” He paused from saying, ‘As you wish.’ He understood how right and simple she might be, they should always agree on mutual decisions. “We will plan.”

Noor nodded happily, with her eyes curling to little crescents when his lips pressed on her forehead.

Turning around in his arms, she enjoyed the unique way of floating on water and watching the scenery. She realized the stretch they were at has the calm water and no roads nearby so none were there to look at them.

Meanwhile, Arsh was busy thinking why couldn’t she call his name and how he could make her address him.

They got off the deck after less than a mile. He only chose the course which was safe in every way.

In the end, Rooney and Jasmine were waiting for them. Looking at the rings around their fingers, Jasmine hugged Noor while Rooney teased Arsh. “I told Big Mom.”

Arsh: “…”

Then Rooney wished, “Congratulations Bro…” He gave a shoulder hug and grinned in a… Mischievous way.

Before Arsh could stop him, Rooney asked loud and clear, “Noor, my dear sister-in-law, tell me when are you guys registering your marriage?” He had made a bet and he wanted to win it.

Arsh couldn’t stop his brother but he swiftly tugged Noor close and covered her lips with his palm. “Thank you for dropping the cars,” He said in a threatening tone and took Noor away.

The evening was full of celebration with three families, the Morgans, Woods, and Ross in the Morgan mansion. The Stanley family joined them to celebrate with the new couple.

The most elevated ones at the end of the day were Snow and Noor when they got approval from each one for the double wedding.
