Chapter 40 Oliver returns to the house a little earlier than supposed, he had just received information of what happened between Nora and Arianna, like he had instructed the servants, they had updated him on what was going on in his absence. He storms in and heads for Nora’s room in anger. Who did she think she was to talk to his wife like that or turn her into a servant, he was not going to let her off so easily, guest or no guest, she was going to get a harsh piece of his mind. He first walked into their bedroom to make sure that Aria was fine, she was in the bathroom when he walked in so he left her and went ahead to Nora’s room. He knocked on the door three times and when she did not respond, he pushed the door open and walked in. Nora jumped up from the bed when she saw it was him, she had thought it was Aria or one of the servants and she snubbed them on purpose. “Hey, Oliver!” she smiled. “What exactly is wrong with you?” He queried. “I don’t understand, what happened?” she answered with a question. “So you are acting like you don’t know, why did you speak to my wife the way you did earlier?” “Oh,” she muttered and smiled. “Is that why you are flaming? Relax stark, I didn’t say anything bad to her,” She replied “First, don’t ever call me Stark again, secondly… the servants reported to me that you made her cook your meals and spoke rudely to her.” “Ugh! Your servants are terrible liars, I did not force her to cook for me, she chose to do that herself, and I did not say anything wrong to her either.” Nora replied in her defense. “Listen Nora, I have already told you that I would not get married to you, but the fact that I let you stay here does not mean that you can talk to my wife the way you please, if you should ever do that again, you wont like me at all.” Oliver warned. Just then, Grandpa Go walked in. “What is going on here?” he asked in his old yet firm voice.This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
Nora started crying immediately and ran behind Grandpa Go, “Grandpa, take me back, I don’t want to stay here anymore,” she said, with fake tears rolling down her eyes. “What is happening here? Oliver, what did you do to her?” He queried. “Grandpa, I did…” “He was so mean to me Grandpa, he raised his voice on me and threatened to throw me out of the house, please take me away Grandpa, I don’t want to stay here anymore.” “what? Oliver is that true?” Grandpa Go yelled Oliver crumpled his face in surprise, he could not believe the drama taking place right in front of him. “Wow! What a drama queen you got there, Grandpa, I did not do any of those, I just asked her not to speak rudely to my wife or treat her like a servant again, that was all but she is exaggerating and faking those tears to get your sympathy.” “That is not true Grandpa, he was so harsh to me that I feared he would hit me, you should have seen how he humiliated me, I don’t want to stay here anymore,” she cried in pretense. “You naughty boy, you are never going to change your ways, would you?” Grandpa Go scolded. “What do you mean Grandpa, don’t tell me you believe her?” “Well I know Nora is a nice girl, she would never lie,” Grandpa Go replied. “Oh, so your Grandson is a liar, you believe a stranger over your grandson, how could you Grandfather?” “She is no stranger, she is my best friend’s grandchild and your future wife, have some respect for her.” “Enough of all this Grandfather, I have only kept quiet this long because I respect you but I won’t let you ruin my life. I have had enough of all this shit and this insane lady you brought home, I am not getting married to her because I am already married but even if I wasn’t, I would never marry such a liar.” “Yes you would marry her Oliver, that is a must do.” Grandpa Go persisted. “We would see about that, you better warn her, she can leave here as a guest for as much as she wants, but if she dares to wrong my wife again, then she is gone. I would throw her out of this house and I don’t care what happens after that!” Oliver fired and stormed out.
“We would see about that son, there is only one person that is leaving here and it is your wife, you hear that Oliver?” Grandpa Go yelled. Oliver ignored his Grandfather’s last words and headed to his room. He walked in just in time to see Aria oiling her head in front of a mirror. She smiled at him through the mirror and he felt his anger melt like ice that very moment. “Hey handsome, why does it look like you are about to puff smoke from your nose,” she laughed. Oliver wondered if she had not overheard the chaos in the next room or if she was only acting. Perhaps she did not want to talk about it. “Hey, sweetheart,” he mumbled and walked towards her. She stood up and turned to him, when he got close, she put her hand on his collar, then helped him loosen his neck tie. “You are a bit early today,” she smiled. That smile! He could never get enough of it. He moved his hand to her hair and tucked a few stray strands behind her ears. “Well, someone spoke rudely to my wife, I had to come back and put them in their place. I hope you are fine?” he asked. She smiled, “you didn’t have to do that Papa bee, I can take care of myself, I am totally fine,” she replied. Oliver sighed and caressed her face, “Look Aria, I am really sorry that you had to go through all this, I promised you a life without troubles but its barely three months we got married and you have to face all this, I …” Aria interrupted his apology by drawing closer to him and locking their lips in a fierce kiss. Oliver felt all his nerves calm down and his mind relaxed, but his heartbeat tripled speed at the taste of those mushy lips. He could go on all day but Aria pulled out sooner than he expected. He groaned and she giggled, she really knew how to torture him. “Miss honey bunny, you are the most beautiful woman that I know, but you are evil!” Oliver cried out and she laughed.
“Well, that was just to shut you up, you will get a proper kiss after you take your bath, change your clothes and eat good food. By the way, I made a special meal for you today.” “Really? I thought I had told you to let the servants do the cooking?” he queried and frowned. “Come on, I just wanted to make something for my baby’s daddy, isn’t it my duty as your wife?” she replied “No, you just have to relax and have fun, let the servants do the chores, I am the one who should take care of you, not the other way round.” “Well, I feel happy cooking for you, so please let me do that,” she whined. Oliver knew very well that he would not win this argument, so he decided to let her have her way. “Alright, but only with about four servants assisting you in the kitchen, I don’t want you to stress yourself in any way.” He said. “Okay, whatever you say boss, come let’s get you cleaned up,” she replied and dragged him towards the bathroom. “You are not going to bath me like a baby, will you?” Oliver laughed. “Ha! You bet I will,” she chuckled and drew him in.
