35 Three husbands died

Since the distance between armchairs was wide, Aria pointed the smart television, "Shall I connect the tab to it?"

Alan nodded and turned it on picking the remote. Aria connected and opened the first folder. The first picture had information about the girl.

Aria pursed her lips to control her laughter right after reading the name. 'Belle O'Donnaugh'

Alan was looking at her hence he noticed it and asked, "Why are you controlling your laughter?"

Aria coughed lightly to clear her throat and spoke, "Belle O'Donnaugh described as a woman whose last three husbands died under mysterious circumstances... I'm... sorry!" Aria burst into laughter after saying.

Alan checked the name and his lips twitched hearing her. But her laughter brought a smile on his face. "Are you killing me before marriage?"

Aria controlled and spoke, "If you choose her, ask her to change her family name to yours. Simple." She smiled and continued to see the profile but the young master Morgan was looking at her seeing her all expressions.

"So what do you think without checking picture?"

Alan passed the question back, "You say it."

Aria nodded and spoke, "She will be a housewife. Good to look after you."

"Oh!" Alan wasn't interested in any of the information on television. He just responded to her.

"I will put pictures in a slideshow. There are twenty number of pictures so."

Alan hummed and Aria put it on and saw the girl. She was very beautiful and her smile was enchanting. Aria was looking at television whereas Alan didn't even see Belle once.

They continued to watch and as profiles passed, Aria was very bored and started yawning as she gave him reviews like,

'Since she is working as an executive director, she can help you in the business.'

'She can cook and feed you well.'

'Dietician! Good to have for good health.'

'Military! She will be disciplined with high morals.'

"Doctor in a family is beneficial.'

All in all, Aria was only picking positives and there was no single negative word she said.

When a model and actress photo slides started, there were many pictures that made her lose all interest. She left her home slippers and folded her legs making herself comfortable.

As her yawning increased, she slightly tilted her head and rested it on backrest...

"President Morgan! You are in high demand. Why there are so many pictures to impress you? Do you want to see her more? or Shall I go to the next one?"

"Go next!" Alan replied knowing she was bored and sleepy.

Aria hummed and changed the profile keeping the tab on her lap. After seeing the information, "She is of my and Rian's age. Why will they check so early for marriage?"

Alan turned to television hearing her. Indeed, the year of birth was the same. He gingerly asked, "Shouldn't I go for that age gap girls?"

Aria turned to Alan, "She isn't that younger than you. You are four years elder than Rian so the age difference is four. It is quite good too."

It piqued his interest to know her views, "How?"

Aria turned herself complete towards him leaning her knees on the backrest of the chair and her shoulder leaned on it. "The divorce rates in this generation is very high. One of the reasons is the girl and boy of the same age or a year or two difference. Since everyone has their own views about things, they push their viewpoint on another one after deciding that creates disputes more. I heard from Dad that the wavelength of a girl is equal to the wavelength of a boy who is more than three-year older. Our parent's age difference is more than five. If I'm not wrong, aunty and uncle's age difference is seven. My parent's age difference is six. Similarly, I have seen many such couples who are living happily keeping the small fights aside. In them, one or the other one gives in during disputes. But that doesn't mean every couple of the same age will separate. So you can choose her too."

Aria looked at Alan whose sharp features were softened with his alluring smile. Seeing him not talk for long, she bit her lip and spoke, "Did I talk too much? If you get irritated, you can stop there itself. You don't have to listen to my nonsense."

Alan's smile widened and stretched his hand to pinch her cheek, "That wasn't nonsense and I wasn't irritated. President Cooper is very insightful."

"Oh!" Aria was about to continue the pictures slideshow, Alan asked, "I heard you receive lots of proposals at school. You are mature and at the age to date. Why didn't you accept any yet?"

"Huh?" Aria awkwardly smiled, "You will laugh if I say."

"Try me." He said seriously.

Seeing his expectant look, Aria spoke, "Proposals I get in schools are because of looks or that goddess title. As per my understanding, they are attracted or infatuated. I don't want anybody to show me off saying they are dating a school goddess because they will date for time pass and move on to another girl. I'm not a thing to let them use me before they search for another thing... (Grin) Tomorrow my desk will be filled up with gifts, eatables, and letters because of today's performance, why should I accept such boys' proposals?"

Alan nodded in admiration, "Shrewd!"

Aria just smiled and started the slideshow of pictures...

They had continued till the seventeenth girl when Aria fell asleep on the chair. Alan had told her to go to bed. Amelia had asked them to choose at least one to arrange a date on Sunday hence Aria tried to pull off.

He carefully took the tab from her and mailed the girls' information to somebody adding, 'Investigate, Rank them according to their negatives. Need it by morning.'

He looked at Aria who was frowning in sleep. Not exactly knowing what to do, he rubbed very gently between her brows and saw it was settling. His smile was very tender looking at her. He understood it wasn't difficult to take care of a girl if you like her.

He could sit and watch her but seeing her sleeping in sitting position, he carefully carried her to her room and tucked her without disturbing her sleep.

The little uneasiness he had thinking about age was resolved by Aria. Since he knew she wasn't dating anybody, he thought to get along with her first before he could talk to her.

He pecked on her forehead affectionately before leaving the room. He quickly finished his some office work before going to bed.
