Chapter 173
“Thank you so much Irish, i can’t even imagine what would have happened to our only son if you had not made that plan” Mrs Harlow said as they walked Irish to the car. She was about leaving, it’s late already and Arusha has been texting her.
“I don’t like the fact that everyone keep thanking me for that, Ethan has helped me too.” Irish said.
“You risked your life for him. I wouldn’t have asked for a better woman for my son” Mr Harlow gave Irish a side hug and she smiled.
Arin was holding her hand, swinging it happily as they finally got to the limo Ethan had told his driver to prepare.
“I believe we’re going to meet you here when we get back from school tomorrow” Jessica said.
“Of course” Irish nodded.
“Don’t worry, I’ll get your dress ready in two days” She added and Jessica giggled happily.
“Seems we have to store the refrigerator with strawberry and strawberry juice” Mrs Gabrielle said and they laughed.
“I’ll be ordering packs of them tomorrow” Ethan said, grinning happily.
The light glowing in his eyes could not be compared to anyone else.
“We know you’re going to take care of that Billionaire Ethan Harlow” his father saluted and everyone laughed again.
“Okay.. we need to allow her go now, Arusha and Mrs Helen will be expecting her already” Ethan said, opening the car door for Irish.
Irish hugged everyone one after the other and she was surprised when Mrs Harlow gave her a kiss on the cheek and then whispered in her ear “you’re a rare gem and i hope you remain part of this family forever”
Irish was stunned, she felt honored hearing that from Mrs Harlow.
Wow.
She waved them bye as she got into the limo with Ethan.
He’s going with her to ensure she gets home safe.

“Did you hear Arin call me Mum?” Irish asked Ethan as the car was moving on a free road.
“Yeah i did” Ethan smiled.
“I felt goosebumps but then i thought she might not really mean it”
“She does, i don’t think Arin would say something she doesn’t mean” Ethan said and there was silence.
“Irush, i just don’t know how else to thank you for saving my life while putting yours on the line, it’s just so…” Ethan sighed and Irish held his hand.
“Ethan you seriously need to stop thanking me or i would start thanking you for all you’ve done for me too” Irish said.
“Okay, I’ll stop” He chuckled.
“You look more beautiful today and i had it in mind back at the restaurant that even if you do not want to return to me, I’ll have to drag you along with me” Ethan said and shelaughed, throwing back her head.
Her laughter was one of the things he missed also.
“Do you know how happy i am right now? I’ve never felt so happy and fulfilled in a long time” Irish smiled as she placed her head on his chest.
He stroke her hair wondering how his life would have turned out if he hadn’t met her.
We surely meet people in life for a reason or the other and he didn’t regret meeting Irish, he only wished the world would have more of someone like her..
She’s a gem he doesn’t want to lose and would never lose.
“Kiss me again” She whispered to him and he chuckled.
Her head was on his legs and she turned her face to him, pointing out her lips.
He laughed.
“Com’on” She pouted and he bent his head to engage their lips in another sizzling kiss.
___
“Irish” Arusha screamed, running into her arms as he opened the door, not knowing what was in stock for him.
“Ouch!” He frowned after getting a knock from Irush who made her face look stern as she walked in.
“What was that for?” Arusha rubbed his forehead as he closed the door and walked after her.
“For taking my packs of strawberry juice like you own it! You deserve another knock” She said, turning to fulfill her words only to see him dashed past her into the kitchen where their Mum was cooking.
“I can’t believe she welcomed me with a knock on the head!” He complained loudly to Mrs Helen and she laughed.
___
“Damn it” Arusha sighed after she finished her narration.
Though she had excluded the part Morgan was involved with their father.
“Irish, that was a dangerous mission” Mrs Helen said worriedly.
“Yes it was, though Mr Ethan is worth it but what if something had happened to
you”Arusha said, knowing he would never be able to cope with it .
“Well.. i guess i was lucky enough to come out unscathed” Irish smiled, chewing fries. “When did you turn so brave? I’m proud of you” Mrs Helen said.
“Thanks mum” Irish smiled.
“You really made me proud by bringing the bad guys to book, high five sis”Arusha said and they both raised their palms before making it click together.
“It’s a shock to know there were two spies in Ethan’s house for years and they are even planning on killing him, despite how nice he has been to them” Mrs Helen shook her head and sighed.
“They are just ungrateful fellows, attracted to greed and heartlessness” Arusha said. “Exactly!” Irish nodded her head in agreement.
She yawned..”I really need to go to bed”
___
“Morning detective Irish” Arusha teased as she walked into the dining room still dressed in her pajamas, she had only brushed her teeth.
Irish scoffed playfully at him and he grinned.
He was fully dressed in his school uniform, and she know he’s going to grab his backpack immediately after breakfast and leave for school.
“Good morning Mum” Irish said loudly, so her mum, Mrs Helen who was in the kitchen could hear her.
“Good morning Irish” Mrs Helen replied.
Irish sat across Arusha and took a bite out of his toast.
“I’m glad you helped Mr Ethan, but don’t ever do that again, i would never be able to cope if something had happened to you.” Arusha said looking at her worriedly.
“I’m lucky not to have gotten hurt or killed and don’t forget I’m detective Irish” She said with an air of pride that made him laugh.
“I love you sis” He said and Irish stood up to kiss his cheeks.
“I love you more Arusha” She said.
“Am i missing something?” Mrs Helen asked with a smile as she walked into the living room.
“Mum” Irish went to hug her, burying her head in the crook of her neck.
“I can’t believe you’re acting like a baby while one is in you or… is the baby in you using your face by any chance” Mrs Helen gasped dramatically and they laughed.
___
Irish stepped out of the car Ethan had sent to pick her from home.
He had told her he’ll be staying home today just for her.
She had called Maria who was on her way with their luggages and Blaine.
They will be here in no time.
“No, don’t bother. I can lift it myself” Irish said to one of the maids who tried to help her with her luggage.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
“Mr Ethan, said not to allow you carry anything, he’s going to get pissed at me if i leave you to it ma’am” The maid said.
“Ohh” Irish said and allowed the maid carry her luggage into the house.
She walked after her in a pink short gown that showed off her small tight bump.
She had made her hair fall down to her waist today without styling it.
She said hi to the workers as she walked past them, looking forward to seeing Ethan again like it’s been years they last saw each other.
He was waiting in the living room and he swooped her into his arms immediately she walked in.
They both giggled like kids that had just been bought candies.

“I can’t believe I’m here, I’ve always wanted to work in Ethan Harlow’s mansion, it has been on my mind since the day i came for the interview” Maria said, looking excited as she stood beside Irish in her workshop.
Irish smiled, glad to have resumed sewing.
She experimented the ideas that has been in her head and they came out fine.
She has lot of orders waiting but she started with Jessica’s dress first.
Maria watched her with enthusiasm.
Irish was so perfect in every thing, the way she traced and cut the fibres before putting them together amused Maria.
So fast and efficient.
“I so much missed the sound of my scissors ‘snip-snip” Irish chuckled.
“What do you want me to help you with?” Maria asked.
“Nothing, for now” Irish smiled, there was still excitement written all over Maria’s face and she had screamed when she shook Ethan’s hand, making everyone laughed.
She had helped Mrs Gabrielle in cleaning the kitchen and also assisting in preparing meals.
They all loved her.
And Blaine also who was presently with Ethan getting filled about his work.
“Maria, sit… you’ve been standing since we walked in here” Irish said and Maria shook her head.
“I think I’m still so excited to sit” She grinned.
“And i want to thank you so much, without you. I wouldn’t be here and to think I’m even going to be earning much more, i was shocked when Mr Ethan mentioned the amount of my salary. Thank you so much ma’am” Maria said.
“It’s fine” Irish said.
“I just wonder how Mr Morgan’s employees would cope” Maria sighed.
She had told Irish and Ethan that the police came to search Morgan’s building today and they told every worker to pack their things and evacuate the building because the owner might not be coming back anymore.
“You won’t believe some of the workers took a lot of money from Mr Morgan’s room and also some expensive jewelries from Catheri e’s room” Maria said.
“Wow!” Irisj sighed and shook her head sadly.
“Irish!” Carl excited voice pierced into her workshop even before he walked in.
“T, what’s going on?” Irish asked.
“Mr Ethan, just gave me one of his mansions! Two cars and.. i can’t even mention theamount of money he gave me. He gifted them to me for my upcoming wedding and he even promised to sponsor the whole event.. i.. i don’t know how to thank him” Carl said in tears.
Irish hugged him and she was moved to tears also.
