“Who would have thought Catherine would be that cruel” Mrs Harlow sighed after Irish finished narrating without leaving out any part.

Ethan sighed.. he couldn’t believe Irish did all that for him.
He was so touched that he was near tears.
If anything had happened to her, he wouldn’t have forgiven himself.
She went through a huge risk just to make him happy, she knew her life was on the line but still went ahead.
“Irish… thank you, thank you so much” Ethan held her hand tightly.
“I’m so touched you could do that for me” He added, looking so emotional.
“It’s fine, you worth what i did for you, Ethan.. you’re just the most kind hearted man I’ve ever seen” Irish said.
“Carl, i should thank you also. Thank you so much” Ethan said to Carl who nodded and smiled.
“Anything for you Mr Ethan, Morgan is a man that needed to be brought to book . I’m glad i took part in ensuring that”Carl said.
“Irish , you’re so brave” Mrs Harlow commended and she smiled.
“Thanks to both of you and everyone else that made Irish’s plan a success.” Mr Harlow said.
“I knew Irish would never leave Ethan for Morgan. Never” Mrs Gabrielle smiled. “She acts so well.. you needed to see when she was telling me she’s going to make me pay for dropping her off in the rain. Gosh” Ethan said and everyone laughed.
“I thought you had left us and i was so angry but seeing what you were trying to do made me feel so ashamed of myself” Mrs Harlow sighed.
“It’s fine Mrs Harlow, no one wants to see their son looking sad, i would have been angry at me too if i were you” Irish said.
“Still.. i should have trusted you like my husband and Mrs Gabrielle did. I’m sorry” Mrs Harlow said.
“I’m sure you wanted to trust me but everything seems so real, and the fact that I’m a good actor made it seems difficult” Irish said dramatically and they all laughed again.
“To think Javad could do such.. though I’ve always been suspicious of Gladys but not Javad” Mrs Gabrielle said.
“I should have listened to Irish when she told me about Javad but i trusted him so much” Ethan said.
“No one should be trusted, this world is full of deceit. One needs to be extra careful and observant ” Irish said.
“Indeed” Mrs Harlow nodded in agreement.
“Well.. I’m glad everything is over now, I’m just so glad” Mr Harlow smiled.
“You don’t know how happy i am to have you back” Jessica grinned.
“Because of the dress i want to make for you?” Irish teased and they shared another round of laughter.
“I can’t wait for you to start reading me interesting bedtime stories again” Arin smiled, she was sitting close to Irish, they both are not willing to let go of each other anytime soon.
“So.. the ones I’ve been reading to you are not interesting” Jessica rolled her eyes playfully.
“Gross. You even sleep off in the middle of reading me a bedtime story and i use to be the one reading it to you in the end” Arin said and everyone laughed again.
There was so much joy in everyone’s eyes, the atmosphere was serene.
They all felt fulfilled and happy.
“When is Maria and the bodyguard that protected you resuming work here?” Mr Harlow asked.
“Maria will be coming with me tomorrow but i don’t know Ethan’s plan for Blaine” Irish said.
“I’ll employ him as one of my bodyguards, he’s going to take javad place” Ethan said and Irish felt glad because Maria would be so happy to see Blaine everyday.
“Carl.. come to me later, i have something for you” Ethan said to Carl.
“Okay Mr Ethan”Carl smiled.
“Irush, will you be sleeping here tonight?” Arin asked.
“No, i need to go home, to explain everything to my family, I’ll be resuming tomorrow” Irish said.
“How’s the baby?” Mrs Harlow grinned.
She’s so happy to be having a second grandchild.
“Baby?” Arin asked.
“Arin, Irish is carrying my baby” Ethan announced to her and she gasped.
She stared at Irish’s stomach.
“There’s a baby in there?” She asked in surprise “My sibling?”
Everyone nodded.
Arin stared at everyone and she knew they were serious, but why isn’t Irish’s stomach big.. she wondered.
“Why isn’t her stomach big?” She voiced out her thoughts.
“The baby is still growing, it hasn’t grown fully yet” Jessica explained.
“Ohh” Arin blinked and everyone watched as she gave Irish an affectionate hug. Irish hugged her back and rubbed her tiny back.
“I’ll be having a sibling, yaaaaay. My friends have siblings too, I’m going to tell my friends” Arin giggled happily and they smiled.
“And you know what?” Irish asked.
“What?” Arin asked.
“Your sibling loves strawberry flavor just like you do” Irish smiled.
“Oh my God! Strawberry is simply the best flavor, even the baby recognizes it” Arin said happily and everyone chuckled.
“Is that why you stole my strawberry muffins?”Arin asked and Irish nodded.
“You should have told me it’s for the baby!” Arin whined.
“I’m so sorry sibling, I’m so sorry for complaining that you ate my muffins, I’m so sorry for being mad at Mum for giving you my strawberry muffins. I promise to give you more when you come out” Arin said, rubbing her hands together in front of Irish’s stomach. She was looking so serious about it that everyone laughed.
“Ethan” Irish said opening her purse.
She brought out Carrle’s necklace and saw his eyes glisten with tears as she wore it around his neck.
He felt the sense of relief he hasn’t felt in years.
“I love you so much Carrle. Rest in peace” He said, kissing the necklace.
There was silence, in respect to Carrle.
Ethan smiled and turned to everyone. “She’s resting in peace”
He pulled Irish with him as he stood up.
“I love you so much Irish, I’ve never loved a woman this way” He said as he kissed her fully on the lips.
Her heart reached out to him like it always does and she returned the kiss without hesitating.
Everyone felt the love in the air and they all smiled approvingly..
“Hey, you’re not supposed to be looking at that” Jessica whispered to Arin.
“Same goes to you” Arin whispered back with a roll of eyes and Jessica felt like giving her a painful knock.
