Chapter 129
Mrs Helen walked into the living room with a heaping plate of steaming pizza rolls, with sauce and cheese oozing out of the seams.
Ethan was salivating already.
“Mum” Irish sat up. “You shouldn’t have bothered yourself”
“You both need to eat, you’ve been through a lot today and I’m sure you’re starving”
“Thanks Mrs Helen” Ethan smiled.
“My pleasure, which drink do you prefer?” She asked.
“I’m fine with just water” Ethan said.
“Are you sure?”
“Yes”Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
“He mostly drinks wine and I’m not sure we have his favorite” Irish said.
“Ohh” Mrs Helen said.
“I should get you water then and you, you don’t need to tell me what you want. I know it’s strawberry juice!” Mrs Helen said and Irish chuckled.
“Really? You don’t really like strawberry flavor” Ethan said.
“I guess her baby likes it so much, she has been craving it for days now, she doesn’t drink anyother juice asides that now, i went to get some from the store this morning when we ran out of it” Mrs Helen said.
“Ohh” Ethan sighed.
“Arin also likes strawberry flavor so much” Ethan said.
“I know, how’s she? I hope she’s fine, you need to bring her over during weekend so she can spend some time with me” Irish said.
“Could it be that Arin sibling is the one on the way?” Ethan wondered loudly.
“I’m sure it is” Irish smiled.
“Let’s eat before it gets cold or we’re not going to enjoy it” Irish said.
Mrs Helen invited Ethan workers in for some plates of steaming pizza rolls.
They ate at the dining while Ethan and Irish had theirs in the living room, watching TV.

“I think I’m going to resume making Arin and Jessica come with the driver to pick Arusha, so you’ll get to see her everyday” Ethan said.
He had stopped them from coming with the driver.
“That’ll be great and i miss Jessica also” Irish smiled.
“She kept telling me to bring you back because you promised her some dresses” Ethan said and Irish laughed.
“Yeah i did and i was almost done with it before… everything. Make her come over during weekend with Arin”
“Okay, i will” Ethan said.
“Mrs Helen is a great cook” Ethan smiled, greatly enjoying the meal.

“Papa, please I’m begging you” Olivia said to her dad.
She had come into his office after she finished freshening up.
She has been pleading with him to allow her go out with her friends on Saturday but he’s not having any of it.
“I can’t allow you do that Olivia, it’s dangerous for you” Prince Alexandre Louis said.
“It’s not! None of them knows I’m a princess! Not many people know i am”
“Someone might see you and recognize you”
“I’m going to wear my shades” Olivia said pleadingly and her Dad sighed, signifying he’s not ready to allow her.
“You never allowed me go out with my friends, except to go on important functions for King City or we’re going to the white house, I’m tired! I’m tired of cutting ribbons for hospitals everytime. That’s not fun, and you won’t even allow me spend a day with my friends, have i ever asked for such favour? yet you’re refusing it the first time i asked. I’m so pissed right now” Olivia got on her feet and made to leave.
“Hey, princess” Her father called and she stopped walking.
“You know i hate seeing you sad and you want to use that against me huh? Well.. You can go out with your friend, have fun ”
“Really?” Olivia’s face lit up.
“Yes”
“Thank you Papa” she screamed jumping into his arms.
“Ahhh, you now weigh alot” He groaned.
“Thank you Papa” Olivia said again, looking so happy.
“But on one condition” He said.
“What?”
“Two bodyguards are going to follow you”
“Dad!” Olivia whined.
“I can’t let you go out there alone Olivia, you need someone to protect you”
“Having the bodyguards follow us everywhere won’t be fun and they’ll definitely ask me why bodyguards are all over me” Olivia said.
“The bodyguards would only stay at a reasonable distance, they won’t stop you guys from having fun, your friends won’t even know anything, the bodyguards will only keep a close watch on you from distance”
“Okay Papa, thank you” Olivia smiled.
“Let’s go have lunch”
“I will join you at the dinning, i need to go inform my friends first!” Olivia said bouncing happily to her room.
Her father smiled after her.

“When are you really going to make my dresses” Jessica said to Irish who laughed.
They were seated in the living room some minutes after Arin and Jessica arrived.
Arin was clinging to Irish and hadn’t let her go since they arrived.
“I promise I’m going to make your dresses soon and it’ll be more beautiful cause i just gained new and unique ideas” Irish said.
“I can’t wait” Jessica giggled.
“When are you coming back home?” Arin asked.
“Soon.” Irish smiled at her.
“Is that a promise?”
“Yes baby girl. I miss dressing you up and all” Irish said.
“I miss that too but it’s going to happen again soon” Arin smiled.
“Dad said i can spend the night with you and return home tomorrow”
“Oh.. my.. God! Really?” Irish asked.
“Yes, that took everyone by surprise. My brother rarely allow Arin sleep out without him, he even takes her on business trips whenever he can. Well, i was not really surprised though” Jessicasaid.
“I’m so excited! Why didn’t you tell me immediately you arrived” Irish said hugging Arin to her chest.
“You were chatting with Jessica” Arin said .
“Ohh and is that the reason you brought this huge backpack ?” Irish bursted out laughing and Jessica joined her.
Arin frowned at the both of them and they laughed harder.
“Laugh all you want” She scoffed playfully.
” I’m so glad I’ll get to dress you up, comb your hair and style it again ” Irish smiled.
“I brought my pajamas, hair comb, two dresses, flip flops, body lotion, hair cream and… a dozen of strawberry muffins”Arin grinned.
“Woah… I can see why you brought this huge backpack. Where are the muffins, let me store them in the fridge for you” Irish said.
Arin opened her backpack and brought it out, it was in a small plastic container.
“Wow” Irish salivated.
“Can i have one please?” She asked.
“Of course but you don’t really like strawberry flavor” Arin said.
“I crave it this days” Irish said, chewing the cake already.
“Why?” Irish asked.
“Huh?” Irish turned to her with a mouthful.
“I mean why do you suddenly crave strawberries…” Arin said.
“Well… uhmm” Irish smiled.
“I’ll help you take the cakes to the kitchen and I’m going to help Mrs Helen and Arusha in the kitchen also” Jessica said.
“Ohh.. okay” Irish said.
“I want you to tell me the bedtime stories” Arin said.
“Now?”
“Yes”
“Arin….” Irish groaned.
