Livid Guardian's Endless Coddling

Chapter 493: Unconditionally love



Rose's lips twitched hearing Finn say he was going to sell her off to a human trafficker, "Is that how you became rich? No doubt you have so much money." Rose sarcastically remarked rolling her eyes.

Finn: "..."

Even though he was rendered speechless for a few seconds, "Then what you had thought? You think I could make Starlight successful so easily. I have to fool girls and sell them off."

Rose opened her mouth and shut it, 'Is it possible? Doesn't she know business is dirtier than it looks? Doesn't she know Aria always has security? Doesn't she know Aria hides many confidential matters which only Levi knows? Doesn't she know the secret team working under Aria?'

However, she pulled her mobile out and handed him, I might message President Cooper when we land, if you don't want to get scolded, keep it with you."

Finn petted the little lamb, he really wanted to tell her that Aria enjoys knowing he teases her unlike how Rose thinks as Aria scolds him.

The next day morning, Rose's jaw dropped looking at the castle in front of her. "DISNEYLAND!" She yelled in excitement for fulfilling her little dream to visit there.

Finn was too late to cover her mouth and didn't look at anybody's gaze who was shocked by the sudden scream.

Rose hooked her hand with his arm and ran inside checking out every little thing and even told Finn stories of her childhood or about the Disney characters. Finn tried his best to throw off the kitty hairband from his head but failed while Rose kept swapping between Minnie or bunny hairband.

He didn't expect her to be so excited that she didn't bother to think about whether she had to be well behaved to impress him. Even though he was dragged to many games, he still accompanied her till the end of the day, amused the whole time watching her or running around her.

Helping the drunk Rose to the suite, Finn continuously heard her repeat how happy she was the whole day and thanked him countless times for taking her there. Leaning her on him, he fetched the suite keycard and scanned when his cheek felt warm.

Looking through her droopy eyes, Rose kissed Finn's cheek standing on her toes, and grinned, "Thank you!!!." She said sloppily.

Finn quickly wrapped his arm around her waist before she could fall down. Rose, who felt like he hugged her, wrapped her arms around his waist and repeated, "Thank you, Finn." She slurred.

Finn didn't know why but really felt warm by her hug and words of gratification. "Let me take you inside."

Rose obediently hummed and tried to stand straight leaving him but stumbled. Finn patiently helped her by hearing her sing thank you frequently.

First, he gave her some water, then took her to the room inside the suite and helped her lay down but she sat up and patted the bed, "Shit…" She slurred.

Finn chuckled, deciphering accurately as 'Sit' and sat opposite to her, "Do you want anything, Ms.Rose?"

"Oh," She thought for a few seconds and looked excited again, "I want wine."

"No!" She had lied to him as she has good tolerance and drank more than half a bottle of wine before the alcohol took effect on her.

Rose's lips curled down making a sobbing face until he asked. "Other than that?"

She again started thinking but shook her head, "I don't know."

"Do you want some more water?"

"I don't know."

"Okay, sleep."

"Am I sleepy?... I don't know."

Finn chuckled and oddly understood she was going to say 'I don't know' everything. Since it was still half-past nine, he started playing with her non-sober state asking random things until he picked, "Do you like President Cooper?"

Rose shook her head and said, "I don't know."

Finn was surprised to hear that so he took his mobile out to record her response and asked, "What about me? You don't want me?"

"Me!" She repeated and pointed to herself before asking, "Me?"

Finn smiled resignedly looking at her cutely ask so he took her hand to point to himself, "Me!" He was expecting her harmless response, 'I don't know.' to tease her in the morning.

"It's You! Not me." She taught him and left him word struck.

Rose continued cupping her face in sudden sorrow, "You know, we can't have everything we want."

Finn thought to cheer her from sadness before bed, hence he asked, "What do you want? I will get it for you."

However Rose shook her head, eyes moistened saying, "I can't get you." She tried to gently poke but nudged his chest hard and continued, "See, you are right here. But… But…"

Finn dried her tears on her cheek. He long back knew keeping happy isn't love. He wanted to hear her so he probed her to know what she actually feels, "But…"

Rose shook her head, "I don't know." She forgot what she wanted to speak

Finn didn't let her lie down and asked, "Tell me, why can't you get me?"

Rose batted her heavy eyelids feeling sleepy but tried to answer him, "I- I…"

Finn helped her with words by repeating it, "You are right here but?"

Repeating those words repeatedly, she continued, "But feels so far. Why? You are with me, then why do I feel so far?" And her tears rolled down having no answer to the question.

Finn had an urge to leave without knowing how to react but didn't want to leave her alone either so he wiped her tears as he asked, "Do you regret it?"

'Regret?' Rose opened her eyes wide hearing him and looked around feeling wide awake.

Finn realized she was sobering. He didn't expect the word regret to have such power on this drunk girl. Anyhow he held her face to gaze at him and asked, "Do you regret this relationship?"

Rose bit her lip without completely recollecting what she must have spoken, hearing him seriously ask, she promptly shook her head. "I don't."

Finn shot his next word of the question right after her to know why she doesn't regret it even when she is sad. "Why?"

Rose asked a different question to divert, "Did I trouble you too much? I will not drink again."

Finn silently watched her without responding. Now he wanted her drunk state to respond to him without trying to divert the topic.

Rose sighed, "You shouldn't get offended."

Finn frowned but nodded. Rose pursed her lips and tried to make her mind before speaking, "I didn't like you from school time. I liked you because you took care of President Cooper despite knowing she is married and loves President Morgan."

Finn sat back and nodded at her to continue when she paused, "If it was somebody else in your position, they would cent percent try to take advantage of the situation to get President Cooper. Your love for President Cooper is pure and selfless. That's what was attractive of you."

She watched his calmness and added, "It isn't you if you move on easily so I kind of knew."

Finn blurted out, "Alia doesn't know she is my first love."

Rose was bewildered, "Huh?"

Finn nodded, "She wouldn't have let you go through so much pain." He knew Aria likes Rose, even if he is close to her than Rose, he knew well she wouldn't push Rose through such pain and she wouldn't have forced him to go on blind dates.

Rose didn't know that, however, she grumbled, "Who said I am in pain? I am really happy that I got some days to spend with you even if you dump me one day."

He poked her head before pulling her to his embrace. Rose froze without understanding why he was hugging her. They had never hugged, leaving it aside, they never held hands either so she was confused, "W-what's wrong?"

Finn almost wanted to say 'Thank you!' but he changed. "You know, I wanted one who could love me for who I am." He got the one with who he could spend his life without the need of hiding anything from her and the best part is, both women like each other unconditionally.

"Huh?" She didn't understand.

"Dumb!"

Rose: "..."

"You are allowed to drink only when I am around."

Rose: "..."

"You will get everything you want."

Rose: "..." She doesn't remember she had asked him.

She was speechless the whole time as Finn bossily kept ordering her what to do and what not.
