Livid Guardian's Endless Coddling

Arsh couldn't believe what he just heard from her. He stretched his hand and pulled her ear, making her cry. "Are you saying you are willing to leave me just like that?"

Noor slapped his hand but couldn't get off his hand, "You are the one who wants to break up with me. Let go of my ear… It hurts."

The tears which had appeared hearing him seamlessly started rolling on her cheeks. She knew it wasn't because of her ear. She was just trying to be strong before so that she could support him.

Arsh embraced her… No, practically buried her in his arms. Rubbing her back he then made her understand why he said all that, "I didn't mean to break up." However, he knew he sounded that way to know if she would still be supporting him with his job. Caressing her hair, "I said I don't want you to live such a life. I am willing to change my job."

Noor stepped away with frowns, "Because of me?" She didn't like it.

Arsh kidded instead, "How can I be at ease when my beautiful girlfriend meets other men in my absence?"

Noor punched him harder in response to his tease. His sweet girlfriend was grumpy.

Arsh flicked on her nose, how quick his girlfriend was mad at him and gave importance to his dreams. Well, if his dream job could make her suffer so much, he was willing to have a different goal.

"It's because of me. You are willing to accept such a life but not me. Is this reason acceptable, Ms. Wood? Or should I confess everything?"

Noor wanted to be happy hearing it but the thought of him doing something new, to be with her made her sad. "So what are you going to do?"

Arsh nonchalantly responded, "I will be living you off."

Noor: "..."

She imagined telling her father that Arsh left his job for her and planning to live her off. Her father would turn the house upside down if she says she still wants to be with him. "I don't want a freeloader." 

She went towards the door with Arsh in tow, "I can cook for you daily."

That was enticing but… "Nope…"

"I can be your chauffeur."

Noor grinned but didn't stop, "Nope…" She was craving to hear more things he could do for her.

"I could be your assistant at work."

Noor shook her head, "I don't need one."

Rian and Roxy watched Arsh going behind Noor offering her different things. Rian commented, "Nemo is going to be another wife slave." Roxy chuckled as they watched them go around everywhere.

In the evening at the Wood's mansion,

Noor finally let everyone know Arsh wasn't in the city for the past three weeks and she wasn't able to contact him. Hence she was behaving in such a way, being worrywart, trying to distract herself. She didn't mention his confidential job.

Norah didn't like Arsh's behavior while Noah judged the situation. Since he had seen Arsh in uniform, he could guess he had gone to work. Recalling the past three weeks of Noor, Noah didn't want her to suffer it again and again.

What is the use of being talented and gentleman loving for so many years but having a job that would worry their loved ones?

"Noor." He sounded grave, "He doesn't suit you." Noah stated in a simple way, neither shouting nor pressuring.

Noor had expected this reaction hence she hadn't said anything to Noah in the past weeks. Now that she thinks back, she realized Arsh thought about it and took the decision. Even though he decided in such a short time, she could only hope he wasn't going to regret it one day and blame her. She had faith in him that he wouldn't do that so she tried to explain to her father

"No need to worry, Dad. Uncle Alan and Aunt Aria had already spoken to Young Master. He won't do that again." 

Noah felt the need to speak with Arsh as Noor wouldn't listen to him unless he had a strong reason. And Arsh's job ultimately puts him in danger in later days, "Call Arsh home." 

Norah also hummed, she needed to speak with Arsh this time. She wanted to make sure Noor wouldn't suffer. 

Noor scratched her head. She returned home soon because Arsh said he needs to complete the procedure of resignation and it might take a few days. She was surprised at how certain he was about his decision without other thoughts. 

She felt it was so difficult to lie and hide things from her family. "Give a second."

She took her mobile and immediately dialed Arsh. Instead of lying, she let Arsh handle the mess for her. Since he had said she could contact him during the morning and evening, she knew he would answer the call.

Before he could even say 'Hello' or 'Noor,' "Young Master, could you talk for a minute?... Dad and Mom want to speak with you…" Arsh was the one who told her to be herself without hiding just to keep him safe.

Noor hummed and passed her mobile to Noah. She watched her father just like Norah and Naira. Noah hummed twice, then he said 'Alright… Take care.'

Noor: "..."

Noor didn't know Noah was aware of Arsh's job. 

Noah ignored his daughter, and patted his wife's hand, "He will see us after a few days. We don't have to worry."

Noor shifted close to Naira and whispered. "Sis, I thought Dad would scold or Demand Young Master or force me to break up."

Niara lightly chuckled hearing Noor, "My dear little sister, your Young Master knows well how to handle elders. Show me one who could be angry at him."

Noor flushed hearing 'Your Young Master.' then she almost gasped when Naira turned to her suddenly and normalized her voice, "What's with Young Master? He is your boyfriend. If you still can't call him endearingly as dear, darling, honey, baby, sweetheart… … Call him by name."

Noah and Norah heard it. They had no comments as they knew Noor was a turtle, not to mention, they are talking about relationships.

Noor poked her sister to keep her voice down. It wasn't that she never tried, for no reason, she feels shy to utter his name. Endearments weren't on her list yet.

The rest of the evening Naira tried to tell Noor how romantic, lovely and unique it would be to have nicknames.

In the wood's mansion, Noah and Norah were waiting to meet Arsh, so as Noor who could only manage to speak a few times in a week. Noor was fine, focusing on work as Arsh would drop her messages or call her directly if he had time. She was patiently waiting for his arrival so that she could also know what he was planning.

He couldn't possibly be thinking of living her off, right? It wasn't like she had a problem, she didn't want it to affect Arsh in the long term and thinking of Arsh doing nothing was possible.
