Unexpected Something

Mr Rich man!

Arien unintentionally blushed and looked away.

After a while Devian spoke, "What I want is what I get."

"Do you need to talk like that! Like a boss?" Arien saw a different man. This Devian was really unpredictable.

He really acted like the boss of the world.

"Mr Rich man!" She made fun of him making a really cute face.

Nobody could guess how Devian has been restricting himself from pressing her down.

After returning back to Lyle Mansion, Arien saw a known figure sitting with grandpa.

Louis and Julien sat beside grandpa, who was laughing wholeheartedly.

Louis' father, Edvard Wayne, was also there. But it was a boon for Arien that Emily was not there.

Arien had never seen old Mr Lyle laughing like that before.

She stopped at the entrance and didn't walk further.

"What's the matter?" Devian who was behind her saw her suddenly halting.

"No... Nothing..." Arien said taking a step back. "I have some work. I'll come back later." She started walking back out.

Devian frowned, "May I know what Mrs Lyle have to do now. I would help her."

"No no... I would do it by myself. You go inside" she pushed Devian but he didn't move even an inch bit.

"Arien.. come with me" he said holding her hand in his warm palm.

Has he seen through her mind?

Arien didn't want to disturb old Mr Lyle as his mood would become bad if he sees her. She deliberately thought of excuse for not entering and disturbing old Mr Lyle's mood.

But Devian could understand her intentions and he would not let her suffer like that.

"No... Devian... I have something to do..." He didn't let her complete and pulled her along.

"Leo, Arien you're back?" Old Mrs Lyle spoke.

"Yes Grandma" Arien walked and stood behind her.

"Sister, come sit here..." Julien patted the seat between her and old Mrs Lyle.

"Okay." Arien sat there.

They had been discussing about Julien and Louis' wedding.

Mama Lyle and Papa Lyle helped in persuading old Mr Lyle and old Mrs Lyle for their wedding. Moreover they had been friends for too long and so they didn't face much problem in convincing them.

"Arien, help Julie in picking up her wedding dress." This was the first time old Mr Lyle spoke so nicely to her.

She was startled for a while and then felt really happy in her heart and replied with a big bright smile, "yes grandpa."

Arien and Julien were looking at the designer bridal gown in the tab but not even one was of Julien's taste.

After a while she spoke, "Arien, there are... I don't like any of them."

"It's okay child" Grandma spoke. "Look at other designs if you don't like these."

"Sister.. have a look at these. These are from the latest designs of our company's new arrivals." Arien passed the company's folder to her.

Julien opened and went through the designs and then a design caught her attention.

"This one is really pretty, Arien what say?" Julien asked.

"Umm..." Arien didn't reply.

"Why aren't you saying something? I like it very much." Julien said again.

"Because, this design is made by herself. She would definitely not praise her own work." Devian interrupted.

Julien then saw the place where Devian pointed.

Every design had the sign of their designers and here it was Arien's signatures.

"Arien, I love this design. Never knew that my dear sister-in-law can make such a beautiful wedding gown design." Julien can't stop praising her. At the same time she passed the selected design to others.

As expected everyone liked it very much and in the end Arien was asked if she could make the dress.

How can she not agree with it. She was very happy to prepare the dress for her sister-in-law.

Just the discussion about their wedding took the whole afternoon.

It was already dinner time. Louis and his father Edvard had their dinner along with the Lyle family and headed back.

Arien helped aunt Anne clean up as usual, even after aunt Anne asked her not to.

She was not going to listen. "I'll help you, no matter what." Arien made a cute face.

This scene was witnessed by Devian.

"Young master." Aunt Anne greeted him "Please ask young madam not to do these things. There are servants to help me." She thought that Devian would at least ask her to leave the things to her.

But to her surprise, "Aunt Anne, you can go rest." Devian said.

"But..." Aunt Anne can't let the masters do these things.

"No but, aunt Anne now Devian has also said, so you go and rest. And remember you can only call me Arien, not young madam or anything like that!" Arien has continuously reminded her to call her by her name.

Aunt Anne left and suddenly Arien felt a bit awkward. She turned around and saw him looking straight at her.

He was staring as if he would eat her up now, that really made her shiver.

"Uhh...? Devian?" She called.

"Yes." He replied approaching her.

She instinctively took a step back. "Stop!" She said.

"Okay" he said. His expressions change so frequently.

He started helping her clean up without speaking any further.

Arien really has a hard time guessing his mood!

"Devian." She called.

"Hmm.." He was washing dishes when he replied without lifting up his head.

"What about that Roger Willis?"

"You don't need to think that much" He reassured.

"But.." She still wanted to ask.

"Stop Mrs Lyle." He picked her up.

"No... Devian... Everyone's there...." She struggled.

"Shhh...." He said and she kept quiet.

Awww! How I love their sweet moments!

He was taking her upstairs when the door of a room opened.

"Oh... It's mom!!! Devian...!" Arien started struggling. "Put me down!"

But it was already late. Mama Lyle saw them and following her, came out papa Lyle.

"Devian...!" Arien glared. "Why does this man have to embarrass me in front of his parents!" She thought.

"Why did she have to marry such an idiot!"

"It seems we are here at the wrong time again, honey?" Mama Lyle joked.

Devian looked at them discontentedly before replying, "No mom".

It seems like he's saying that "mom why do you both always enter at the wrong time!"

"You both carry on!" Papa Lyle pulled back mama Lyle, inside.
