Chapter 35
He had lightened her mood only with his presence, she had been feeling so down that Arin noticed and the little girl have asked what’s wrong severally.
“If you’re still feeling weak by tomorrow, then don’t bother going with Arin to school okay?” Ethan said.
“No, I’ll be fine. Like, I’m fine already” Irish said. “You sure?”
“Of course Mr Ethan, thanks so much for your care” Irish said, deeply touched.
“Com’on you were almost hurt in my possession, and I’m still so sorry about that, I’ve checked on Alex and Carl too and they seem fine” Ethan said.
“I’m glad” Irish said.
“So should we go eat dinner now?” Ethan asked. “Yes” Irish nodded.
“Great!” Ethan smiled.
The adjoining door opened and Arin stepped into Irish’s room pouting. “What?”Ethan asked.
“I searched everywhere for your wristwatch but couldn’t find it. Definitely it’s not in my room” Arin frowned.
“Ohh.. i must have left it in my private living room then” Ethan said scratching his head. Irish smiled knowing he had deceived Arin.
There was no lost wristwatch anywhere.
He only told her that so she could excuse them.
“Ohh.. so should we go to the dining?” Ethan asked Arin “No, I’ll just have fruits” Arin said, sitting back on Irish’s bed. “What?” Ethan asked.
“Yeah” she confirmed.
“Okay then , sit here alone and have your fruits. Irish and i will go to the dining” Ethan said and Irish laughed.
“What! Isn’t she also taking fruits?” Arin frowned. “I changed my mind Arin” Irish said.
“Huh?” Arin asked, glancing at her dad. “Yes” Irish said.
“Let’s all go to the dining room then” Arin bit her lips.
“You said you’re gonna stay here and have your fruits. It’s not bad”Ethan teased. “I changed my mind” Arin rolled her eyes and got down from the bed.
She slide her tiny feet into her slippers and walked out of the room.
“Copy cat”Ethan laughed and Irish joined him. “Arin, Is Dolly asleep?”.
“Yes. I left her in her bed, in my room” Arin said. “Oh.. okay”
Irish walked out of the door with Arin and saw Carl and…
Damn!
She had even forgotten Javad will be joining them.
Carl stretched his hand to open the car door but Javad beat him to it. He opened the car door with a fake grin which annoyed Irish so much. Arin entered the car and Irish got beside her, then Carl.
Javad got in the front and Alex started driving. The car seemed tensed and
Irish noticed no one had said good morning. Javad presence is such a bad one .
Her mind is starting to get unsettled.
“And why is Carl watching Javad that way?” Irish wondered. She noticed Arin doesn’t look happy too.
Even Alex that do make them laugh just kept mute. Uhmm.
They got to Arin’s school after long minutes of tensed silence..
“I’ll take her to her class” Javad offered.
“No! Carl will” Arin said, grabbing her backpack.
Carl grinned and held Arin’s little hand in his.
He winked mockingly at Javad before leading Arin to her class.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
Irish and Alex saw what happened and Irish couldn’t hold her laughter. Alex did a good job in hiding his though.
Javad wore a visible angry look and Irish could see how cruel those eyes looked at that moment.
Like, that’s the real him.
Carl returned, still grinning. They all got into the car.
Irish and Carl at the back seat.

Irish smiled as she saw Arusha’s incoming call.
She had received the message that they’re in California and she had given them the address of her house. She was glad they’re fine.
She’ll be going home on weekends to meet them and she just can’t wait!.
After many years she was going to leave together with her family Expect her father.
Arusha had told her that he got a written note from his former school in Singapore and they’ve transferred him to the school in California immediately since he announced to them that he’ll be moving out from Singapore.
It was just easy. He’ll just continue schooling like nothing happened. They were still in the car, on their way home.
Hey Arusha” she said and thought she saw Javad shifted in his seat but she shrugged it off. “Sis” Arusha said.
How are you? Why’s your voice down? Shouldn’t you be with mum? is anything wrong?” Irish asked.
“One question at a time sis. Okay, i think I’m fine Irish. I’m actually on my way to school but i have something to tell you.”
You have something to tell me?” Irish asked and Javad suddenly turned in his seat but Irish had not noticed.
She was worried about her brother.
Arusha doesn’t sound this way except if something is extremely wrong. “First, i hope you and mum are fine?” She asked.
“Yes we’re perfectly fine” Arusha said and she sighed in relief.
” Okay, so what do you want to tell me?” Irish asked and silence followed. “Arusha?” She called and noticed the call was suddenly disconnected.. Tbc
