Amelia giggled before answering, "You had seen Little Arrie getting twelfth-month vaccination. Due to pain, she hadn't stopped crying even after seeing you so you got mad at her and also at the doctor. I think you had said you wanted to be a doctor and you will treat Arrie without paining her to cry. Then somebody told you that you have to study hard to become a good doctor so you became a bookworm."

Aria giggled pulling his cheeks but Alan asked another question.

​​

"Then why did I change my goal to business?"

He was sure he wanted to start his own company from a very young age. Curtis Morgan had ordered him to work in the Morgan Industries but he didn't want to work under anybody.

So Curtis asked him to take over Morgan Industries to lower the burden of his father. Then Rowan started his organic farming and supplied it to Skyline Organics.

Amelia knew Alan's curiosity was only about Aria so she continued.

"I think I had heard you talk with Rowan about it. Isn't it Honey?"

Amelia asked Rowan who was listening to only her side conversation. So she turned on the speaker for him,

"Rowan had said a good businessman will have good control over many things and could afford to have anything and protect the loved ones. You had asked about doctors and businessmen so Rowan had said he could afford the best hospital and doctors for us because he was influential. Doctors are good too for saving the lives of people. You hadn't slept that day thinking about it trying to understand and later day you had told Rowan that you don't want to save anybody and will become like Rowan to protect your Sweet Little Bunny… Yeah, Sweet Little Bunny is Arrie."

Aria was adoring her husband.

Roxy: ⭕_⭕

Rian: ⬤_⬤

Alan was very satisfied with himself and his choices. He wished he could have continued meeting her. Yet, he was happy that he didn't miss his Sweet Little Bunny who became his wife sitting and adoring him.

Amelia had to distract them to hear anything, "Hello..."

Rian snapped out, "Bro, it was love at first sight. You have liked Arrie from her first day of birth and you didn't even know."

"Wow... That sounds so romantic."

Amelia realized after Rian said it. "My dumb son had found her bride so long back. No doubt he was flirting with her that time."

Rian burst into laughter before enlightening Roxy, "Little Bunny was Arrie's nickname. Brother was calling her Sweet Little Bunny."

Amelia added, "I think Arrie too liked Alan. He was the only little one who was playing with her until Rian and Aria could walk around..."

Amelia continued to narrate tits and bits of how Alan was playing with Aria.

While two were adoring the couple, the couple loved the fact that they were so good when they were small.

Rowan knew many other stories that he briefed some incidence with Amelia for them or appropriate to say would be for Alan who wanted to know everything about that phase of his life.

By the time they hung up the call they realized they spoke for two and a half hours. From sunset to till dark of the night.

Roxy was admiring the couple who were talking with each other carrying their beautiful smiles pleasing to her eyes.

Rian felt like his friend was taken away from him and turned to Roxy, "You! Why didn't come and see me when I was a kid?"

Roxy: ○_○

'Am I older than him?'

"You dumb man, that's my dialogue. I was born here only. Why didn't you visit me?"

Aria and Alan noticed them and the former giggled. Alan went to finish the cooking as it was already late.

To make Rian happy, Aria went to him, "My little bride, come here. Even you met me but it's just that you were in Mum's womb."

Pfft-

Roxy grinned while Rian was gritting his teeth for hearing the embarrassing nickname of his childhood by Aria.

Alan didn't bother anymore about Rian and Aria's first time things because he stood above all in her life.

Aria explained why he was 'Little Bride' to Roxy who was eagerly waiting.

Whenever Rian and Aria were playing home games, Rian who was a cute little boy was dinkier than Aria so he was always the wife of her.

She had even put on her white dress to him while playing. That's how the nickname started.

After a few days during that time, Rian cried his eyes out saying the bride was for girls then Aria changed to 'Little Beauty' saying he was very pretty which was true.

Rian's skin was very tender and glossy which was making many girls envious. Only after the adolescence age that his masculine features became sharp and highlighted more but his skin still looked very good which Roxy was very envious of.

Aria pinched Rian's flushed cheeks, hearing and reminiscing the past. "That's why he is my Beauty."

Roxy pouted at the end in displease, "Why wasn't I with you guys?"

Before anybody's response, Alan abducted his wife from them with their dinner near the lake for moonlight dinner and for privacy.

Rian and Roxy were laughing seeing Aria on Alan's shoulder asking him to let her down.

The couple noticed Alan had cooked some light dishes for them too so they ate and occupied the guest room without disturbing the other couple.

After dinner, Alan was smiling under Aria who had pinned him down. "Logically speaking you were doing everything for me for the whole twenty-three years without your knowledge."

Alan just smiled, pinning her strands of hair behind her ear.

"Instead of thinking about missing years, we should be happy about you finding me."

Alan hummed and softly laid her down on the ground before taking the top.

Aria continued, "So I'm your only love and only girl or girl-friend in your life."

Alan hummed gazing at her beautiful eyes which were ecstatic to know about their past.

Aria pulled him down and kissed him fondly.

Who wouldn't be happy to know their man did so much without having an idea one day he would be marrying her?

She wasn't sure how they would be if they were talking all their life but she loved how they were together.

She wished she could remember her first year with him. Yet she was delighted that they had such a sweet past.

The happiness of Alan wasn't any less than Aria. He was content to know she was the only girl he protected and cared all his life.

He was with her for a year.

Then seven years of a gap before seeing her again.

Then nine years' vast gap before appearing in his life like a gleam of happiness.

Again a year and she became his life.

Aria snuggled in his arms and slept with the smile which still glued on to her face without worrying about the next day's celebration and the problems coming up.
