Chapter 189 - Middle Of The Night



Aarvi's hand had reached to check on the chain that Nico was wearing. Seeing him jerk off, she realized her guess was right and scoffed, "Nico Burton, you can't trust her but wearing the locket."

This time, Aarvi's hand was too fast and snatched the chain without caring that it might hurt his neck. 

The little force of her hand obviously pained his neck but his focus was on the locket to hold it and placed his hand on his chest but he was late and missed it. 

He gnashed his teeth seeing her walk away with the chain that had lockets. He pulled her back to take the locket from her however Aarvi twisted her hand to lose his grip and pushed him away.

"You-"

Aarvi cut in and her voice wasn't calm but vicious, "Are you worth this?" She asked, holding the locket in the air.

'Is she overtaken by her emotions?' Nope. Since Nico dared to step out of his boundaries for Vance Hays, she changed her plan to make him regret and use him to destroy the Hays family.

'Don't call me heartless. You asked for it.' Aarvi glared at him.

Nico's hand which had almost reached the locket froze hearing her. His eyes stayed on the locket. It was no special locket, it was a simple military dog tag with his name, group, and batch. It is considered a lucky charm in the army and he had none. Ava Kelly had sent him before he went on a mission and she was missing before he returned.

'Worth?' Now he doubted it too. 

Why didn't he feel disgusted by the locket when he got to know Ava Kelly was a promiscuous woman? Just because he heard from Vance, hadn't he forced himself to believe it? 

'Then why didn't I throw the locket away?' He thought.

Aarvi saw him frowning. She didn't know if he finally realized to let go of the locket or still wanted it. Anyhow, she chose to attack him emotionally, "Have you ever thought the innocent you think might be guilty and Ava Kelly could be blameless?"

The innocent might be guilty? Vance Hays? Nico's gaze went to her eyes. He wasn't sure if he was imagining it but he could feel the pain she was desperately hiding behind her voice of disdain.

'How does she know about me and Ava Kelly?' His thoughts were back to messy.

He had thought of Aarvi Evans as a woman in disguise brought by Shawn and Dax, then he got to know she is the daughter of real Evans. Then how could she know about Ava Kelly so clearly?

His voice sounded dilemmatic, "You-"

Aarvi didn't let him talk. She didn't want to hear him identify her as 'Ava Kelly', "When YOU feel you are worthy of Ava Kelly's good wishes, get this from me. And now, show yourself out." Her sharp tone ended and she left from there.

Nico gazed at her back until she entered the office room. 'Ava Kelly or Aarvi Evans' Now the identity didn't matter to him. 

Why did he start all this? For Vance Hays. Aaron, Aarvi, Shawn, and Dax, are protective of Ava Kelly. Why would they wrongly accuse a man together? Nico could understand Shawn and Dax's behavior but Aarvi Evans and Aaron Rivas?

One grew up abroad and another one doesn't care about others. There can be no smoke without fire. Nico's eyes darkened, 'Vance Hays, you better make me feel sorry instead of regret.'

He stood for Vance Hays, completely trusting him hence he wanted to feel sorry for his upcoming investigation on Vance Hays. If he finds Vance Hays guilty, he will definitely regret offending Aaron and Aarvi.

Nico pulled his mobile out as he stormed to the elevator to change his plan to Vance Hays.

--

In Aaron's office.

Aaron noticed Aarvi's mood as soon as she entered and he could guess she was handling Nico Burton in her way. Then his eyes fell on the chain which had a military dog tail that was slightly damaged and a real bullet as a locket.

Aarvi reached Aaron and twirled his swivel chair, "Get up, eat a little… Get up…" 

Aaron stood up but embraced her, "Are you alright?"

She sighed loudly before wrapping her arms around his waist and rested her head at his shoulder gazing at the locket, "I don't know." 

What should she feel? Happy to see the locket? Or Irritated to know Nico unnecessarily including himself in her evil schemes?

She pointed her chin towards the locket that she had left on Aaron's desk. She didn't feel necessary to hide it from Aaron, "I had sent that locket to Nico Burton. If he believes Vance Hays, why was he wearing it? Hypocrite."

Ava Kelly had spoken to Nico Burton on Vance Hays mobile. When the latter had invited Nico to the wedding, Nico mentioned he couldn't attend and sent a diamond necklace to her.

As a return gift, Ava had sent him the custom made high-quality platinum dog tag without knowing he had none. 

Aaron and Aarvi saw the damage on the dog tail with a bullet together. Both didn't word but felt the dog tail might have saved Nico hence he never chose to throw it away.

Aaron didn't continue about the past instead chose the present, "How are you planning to handle him?"

Aarvi shrugged, planning? She already planned and executed. "He stood for Vance Hays, he will destroy Hays family too."

Aaron pressed his lips on her forehead smiling to himself. His Cupcake is savage. Friends are soon turning to foes. 

Aaron sat down on the couch and Aarvi served him the chicken soup with spicy roasted fish. He enjoyed her dishes and also fed her while she worked.

Remembering a matter, "Aarvi, if Nico Burton will destroy Hays family, then why are you meeting them on Monday?" He was curious.

The problem of revealing the plan is answering the numerous questions and doubts. Pulling his cheek, "I will announce their destruction. Dax will hurt their business. Nico Burton will destroy the family status."

She said in simple words without going into detail and earned his enticing smile, "My devious wife."

Aarvi just gave an eyebrow raise for hearing 'wife', "Just devious? I am cunning, foxy, shrewd, deceitful, sly, brutal, vicious…"

Aaron doubted if anybody calls themselves all that like she accepts. He knows Ava Kelly is the name of innocence and kindness but Aarvi Evans is everything. Wicked to everyone and kind to loved ones.

He quickly shut her lips, shoving a piece of fish to her mouth, "Yeah, yeah... you are my doozy."

Happily accepting, Aaron and Aarvi worked on the couch. Starting her yawns, Aarvi soon leaned on him and slept after completing her work.

Aaron had no plans to visit the hospital hence by the time she woke up from her cat nap, Aaron completed his work.

---

After dinner, both had to finish some of their work before Aaron checked on Aarvi in her room thinking she might have forgotten and dozed off in her room but didn't see her.

Looking inside, he heard laze purring heavily from the bathroom. Aaron's thoughts ran wildly afraid Aarvi might be having a panic attack and might be under a cold shower again.

He didn't give a second thought and rushed inside the bathroom. He sighed to see Laze purring in its bathtub and Aarvi sitting in a bathrobe.

She was giggling seeing Laze dance in warm water without letting her wash it up. However, she carefully washed it, showered it, took it without realizing Aaron was silently watching them, and heard everything.

"Momma will be careful… It's just water, Laze… Ahh stop shrugging water… Look at bubbles... "

'She will be a good mother.' He thought looking at her play with Laze to stop scaring it. They had trained maids to take care of Laze but Aarvi never missed to take care of it personally.

She knew the importance of motherly so there was no doubt she would be a mother who would keep her child ahead of everything.

Aarvi wrapped Laze in a black thick absorbent towel and stood up to take Laze out when she noticed Aaron silently leaning on the wall. She heard his question, "Should I be jealous of Laze?"

Aarvi blinked a few times and walked out while Aaron was amused seeing her blush creep up failing to control her reaction. 

She bathed Laze, doesn't what he said to mean he wanted to be in Laze's place? 'Sigh pervert'

Laze, which always growled at Aaron, was silent, probably crying silently due to its mother who bathed him forcefully. Aaron carefully carried Laze from her hands pointing cloakroom for her, "I will put him to bed, go change."

Still flushed for imagining Aaron in the place of Laze, Aarvi quickly snuck into the dressing room to keep her mind away from shirtless Aaron appearing in her imagination.

After 5 minutes, Aarvi ran away to Aaron's room to avoid him seeing her bright red cheeks as she said, "I will sleep. Take your time."

She chided herself for imagining shirtless Aaron when she almost every day sees him in swimming trunks, 'Aarvi Evans, your brain is corrupting.' 

---

Aaron had to use a hairdryer to dry Laze to avoid it catching a cold before he returned to his room. He snuggled under the duvet and spooned the little woman who had dozed off.

It was around one in the night Aarvi's mobile continuously vibrated with an unknown number. Aaron woke up first and saw it on the other end of the bed. 

A call in the middle of the night? Thinking it might be an important call to inform her of something, he was trying to reach her mobile with Aarvi's head on his one arm.

Suddenly a piercing ring of mobile heard in the silent night. It was Aaron's mobile that rang on his side of the bed. 

Aaron felt alarmed by two getting the calls together in the middle of the night, 'What could have happened?'
