Noah didn't continue about Jude Hanes. He told it so that his wife won't worry unnecessarily. He continued looking at Naira, "Keeping it apart, let's talk about you. You are not jealous, you are scared. You are fear Snow and the Morgan family."

Norah was confused while a cold sweat soaked Nair's back.

​​

Noah added, "You are trying to sow discord between us and them."

Naira's heart thundered in her chest. She felt hard to breathe and eyelids heavy as though darkness was calling her.

However before she could react more, Noah plainly added, "Don't even think of acting frail. I am not falling for it."

Naira's back stiffened. Norah witnessed Naira froze and focused on Noah.

Naira realized her instinctively reaction to escape trouble is by being weak. Even if she doesn't think of it, her body is used to her habits.

Her heart still drummed but she didn't feel dizzy or have a hard breath. Her face morphed to fear and her eyes filled up.

Naira wasn't so detail-oriented. After witnessing her elder daughter, her hands flew to her mouth before she blamed herself for not raising her well.

Noah stood behind her rubbing her back to console her while their daughter watched the two.

He continued, "Now thinking back, how many times have you ran away from here and hid in the Hanes mansion to avoid punishment?"

Noah wanted to laugh at himself because, despite Arna doing so many things, he had witnessed the Morgan family still having trust in her and hope for her return.

He had thought Arna was going to be a spoiled brat who will be unruly and uncontrollable by her parents. But she had started behaving when she realized her behavior can hurt her own family.

Noah had seen the extreme behavior of Arna in her childhood hence he had assumed Naira was just naughty. Thinking back, it was Naira who was always out of hand.

A tear rolled down Naira's cheek. She wanted to hide everything from her parents but forgot they are her parents. They could discern just by her behavior.

"Thirty times?" Noah asked. "Forty times?" He wasn't sure of the number of times either. Because Naira had run away from Woods mansion to the Hanes mansion for every possible trouble she was causing.

"Naira, it was you who instigated Arna to leave the country. Don't you?" Noah finally asked.

Norah already had an idea of it as soon as Noah simplified everything, so it wasn't surprising for her to hear him. Instead of remembering how Naira had lied to them, blamed Arna for putting her in trouble just because Arna wasn't there to reveal the truth.

Noah was late to hold his wife and Norah struck Naira on both of her cheeks. She was about to strike again, Noah held her. Naira wasn't a kid who would reflect on her action for a slap.

Norah cried facing Noah, holding his hand, "I was so excited thinking my daughter will have friends unlike me. What did she do to herself? How are we going to face Morgans? Are we going to be indebted to them all over life?"

Noah hugged his wife, understanding what she meant. If it wasn't because of Aria standing up and facing Jude Hanes, they wouldn't have got married.

Morgans weren't only there to support them unconditionally, their daughter caused worse nightmares for the whole family. Yet none were there at the door to question or scold them or their daughter.

Naira tried to speak but burst into tears without one to tend to her. Noah didn't want to leave his wife and parents alone so he stayed in the mansion to discuss how to handle it.

Noah appointed a few top-notch bodyguards for Naira. It wasn't for her safety but to keep her in place. They won't listen to her orders and all the freedom she got was staying at home or attending a shoot if not dropping by at the Morgan entertainment.

Anyway, Naira just cried huddled in her bedroom. She didn't want to face her parents so thought of going to her maternal grandparents anyway, she didn't have any means to leave from there.

At Wood's headquarters,

In Noah's absence, Noor was super busy handling everything. Even though most of the people looked after her as a young woman, Noor was efficient in the work she does. If she doesn't know, she wouldn't mind asking them to know.

Even though none looked down on her, she didn't have the dominance between people who were more experienced and older than her.

The young men aka employees who were interested in her got their chance to grab her attention and impress her. Some knew there is no heir but the heiresses to the woods, so they also tried to get her attention.

Anyway, all Noor cared about was the work. Noah's secretary was there to avoid people unnecessarily getting close to her. He always made sure to put other men at least one arm distance.

"Uncle Sen, it's alright. You don't have to follow me around." Noor told Noah's secretary when Noor was going on a surprise inspection.

He was about to retort, he noticed Arsh standing in the hallway. Noor too noticed him, instead of going towards the elevator, she went towards Arsh with a faint smile.

Arsh was there to meet Noah, he thought before Naira makes a fuss with his name, he should speak with Noah. He had no plans to disturb Noor at work since she already saw him, he walked up to her.

Noor was in white crop sleeveless crop top match with blue and white high waist circular skirt. She wasn't wearing a blazer hence the fine gap of her slim waist made her waist look more slender.

Walking on her heels, probably she had no idea she garners a lot of attention too. Before the two greeted each other, the secretary hurriedly spoke, "Young Master Morgan, you are here right on time. Could you please do me a small favor?"

Arsh slightly nodded at him as he added, "Sure, Uncle Sen."

Noor couldn't believe the secretary was using Arsh to convince her to stay in the office.
