Irene The Lady Who Turned Down Fate - Chapter 185

“Sister? Were you awake the whole time?” Ash asked with a flustered face and nervous tongue.

“….I was never asleep….” Irene said as she looked at Ash.

.

“Now tell me…did you really saw two kids running around the yard?” Irene asked while placing her hands on the corner of the blanket while clenching it tightly.

“Yes…I did, I even heard them talking about the flowers that grow at a valley nearby…” Ash said as he looked at his hands nervously not sure if Irene is taking his words seriously or not.

.

“Then did you remember their names too?”

“Yes…It was Liliy and Kevin winter.” Ash said and Irene all of sudden took him to a embrace which surprised Ashton but at the same time he felt happy and contend as if something heavy in his heart has finally been lifted.

.

“Sister, don’t you find my words werid? Or don’t you think as if I am sick or something?” Ash asked as he looked at the moon that was gleaming at the infinity sky.

“I don’t find them weird nor do I think of you as sick, actually right now I have a very werid feeling inside me with thousands of questions running around but before anything there is something you need to know.” Irene said as she faced him with nervous eyes.

.

“What is it Sister?” Ash asked as Irene pulled out a diary from her desk and gave it to Ash.

“Open and Read it.” Irene ordered and Ash like a good brother did as she said but surprisingly as soon as he opened the diary his pupils widened and his expression form relaxed changed to shocked and speechless.

.

“This…Sister…”

“Can you read those words?” Irene asked as she smiled while placing her hands on his hair.

“I can…but this..?”

“Is written in modern language isn’t it?” Irene said while removing her hand.

.

“Sister were those letters written by you?” Ash asked as he looked straight at Irene’s eyes.

“What if my answer is yes…Ash will you believe me? Will you…believe it, If I say that I too reincarnated just like you….Tell me, Ashton would you believe it if I say that the little girl in your memories is me…and that I am your elder sister Lily…” Irene said as tears rolled down her eyes as she looked at Ash.

.

“Lily….my sister…Irene…” Ashton murmered as his head suddenly went blank and some of the memories of his past life suddenly flooded back to him.

“Brother, run slowly!”

“Leave him alone or I will beat you all up!!”

“Haha, Kevin your sister would always protect you so just hold my hand.”

“Brother….you will make it out of here…I promise..”

.

“I will name you Ash…Ashton…my little brother this time I would protect you with my life. I promise.”

.

“Promise!” Ash said as he opened his eyes his eyes were now teary and right infront of him Irene sat weeping.

.

“Sister…..*Gets on the bed* please don’t cry…why are you crying *Wipes her tears* It should me who should be crying right now.” Ash said as he placed his hands on hers with his face facing downwards.

“Ashton…you?”

“Sister, why didn’t you protect me! Why didn’t you fulfill your promise! You said I will make it out of that bed…you promised me but what happened in the end I didn’t make it….Do you know how lonely and sad I was in that cold place with no light…do you know how long I have been waiting in the dark!!” Ash said as he took all his feelings that were stuffed inside him since the past life.

.

“…I was so alone there…I cried for mother’s warmth and father’s care but more then anything I reached out for your hand….I wanted to hear your voice, to calm me down and give me faith…but none of your were there…You broke your promise, you said you would be with me forever…you said you would protect me but you did none…” Ash said as he hit the blanket with us fists.

.

“I know…I didn’t fulfill my promises…I know I wasn’t good enough as a sister…so tell me do you hate me for that?” Irene asked while placing her hands on his shoulders.

“…Are you crazy? How could I hate you…when you are the only one I have!” Ash said as he hugged Irene tightly.

.

“God blessed me with a chance to be with you again there is no way I will spend it in fighting and arguing let alone hating you…when all you did was taking all the responsibilities on you shoulders….both in this and past life.” Ash said as he sniffed.

.

“Don’t dirty my clothes okay.” Irene said while patting his head.

“In such an emotional situation is that what you want to say?” Ash said while giving her an annoyed look.

.

“Don’t make that face, you look funny and just as you said this life I too don’t wish to fight or agrue with you nor do I wish to be sad or cry…all I want for this life is our happiness. This life I want to fulfill all my promises. This time I want to give everyone of us a happy ending.” Irene said as she brushed his hair gently.

.

“If that’s what sister wants then I am with you. Let’s work together, for bith the happiness and happy ending.” Ash said as he gave her a smile while titling his head.

.

“Sure”

“But sister when did you realize that you reincarnated? And how come we have the same parents and family name…doesn’t it sound a bit fishy?” Ash asked while laying on her lap.

.

“That a long story and I don’t think this would a good time to talk about it but just know that I knew about everything since the beginning.” Irene said as she looked at hsi curious eyes.

“Thats werid…both if us reincarnated and have the memories of our past life but I got them much later then you and why doesn’t father and mother remmber anything?” Ash asked as he looked at the family picture in his hands.

.

“There are many things left to be known…but now that we are aware of each other’s memories let’s find the truth together.” Irene said while Ash nodded his head and a harmonious environment was formed around the room, as they stared talking about their past life good memories and present life some embrassing moments.

.

“I can hear them laughing.” Sam said as she eardropped at the door.

“Lady Maxim, expect for the laugh nothing else can be heard since its 90% sound proof.” Hana said while smiling at her actions.

.

“Oh! No worries atleast they seem to be harmony now. Great, Sam you did a great job today!” Sam said while patting herself on the shoulders.

“Lady Maxim is very funny and kind, form being Young Master’s Playmate till handling his mood swings and protecting him and trying your best to protecting their relationship, just how much more can you do?” Hana asked as she smiled at her feelings happy and thankful for her help.

.

“Miss Hana, I am staying in this house, eating, studying and waiting their hard earned money and more then anything they treat me as a family member so I feel it’s quite normal for me to be kind towards them…or more like listen to their commands. Futhermore, I have seen Ashton as my best friend so there is no as I can see him so sad.” Sam said as she smiled and Hana couldn’t help but pat her head.

.

“Lady Maxim, You are truly great, I bet your parents must be proud of you.” Hana said while leaving for the kitchen.

“…Proud of me…my parents…” Sam murmered as she looked at the stars int he he which twinkled bright.

.

“Mother…are you proud of me?” She questioned while looking at the sky.

“(What am I doing here? Looking at a star and expecting an answer. Ashton would laugh if he sees me like this.)” She thought as she lowered her head but right she suddenly felt a hand on her head.

.

“I am…proud of you.”

When she turned around, she saw no tiehr then Raymond standing there with a smile on his face.

“Lord Winter! Good Evening!” She said hurriedly with a flustered face.

.

“Samira what’s wrong? Did I sacre you?” Raymond asked as he noticed her flustered face.

“No its not that…I was just embarrassed…you know looking at the sky and…”

“Thats not embarrassing, I used to be like you too. You know my parents died when I was a teen and I and lots of responsibilities on my shoulders. And life got so frustrating sometimes that I had no idea about what to do and at time like that…I always looked a the stars and talked with my parents, which eased my heart.” Raymond said while looking at the sky with a smile.

.

“Wow, I never expected lord to be like that too. But Lord I have a question!”

“What question?”

“Its just that—did your parents ever replied to your questions?”

“Yes they did.”
