Irene The Lady Who Turned Down Fate - Chapter 186

“Samira what’s wrong? Did I scare 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.”

.

“Pardon??” Sam not believing her ears asked again politely.

“I said they replied to my questions but in a special way.” Raymond said as he pointed at the sky towards a particular pair of stars sticking close to each other.

.

“See that are my parents and this is how I take with them…Mother how are you? If happy then Blink once if not then blink twice.” He said while looking at the stars.

And what was more surprising was that that star blinked once which surprised Sam to the point that she jumped in joy.

.

“Wow! She really replied!” Sam said while clapping her hands.

“See, I told you now why don’t you try for yourself?” He said as he pushed her forward.

.

“…Okay, I will try once….*Looks at the sky at a star near the moon* Mother, are you watching me right now? Blink once it yes…” As soon as she said so that star blinked too and Sam had no ending for her happiness as she started jumping rught on the place.

.

“She replied! My mother talked with me!! Sje really did!” Sam said as she jumped with teary tears and a smile on her face.

.

“Yeah, great!” Raymond said as he patted her head.

“Now that you have learnt how to talk with them, you are free to come here and speak for hours but for now it’s time for dinner. So, shall we head downstairs together?” Raymond asked as he gave her a sincere smile.

.

“Okay! *Raymond hearing that starts to lead the way when Sam suddenly holds his hands and says* Lord Winter, Thank you! You are the best!” She said with her sweet smile that gave him the confidence to face Ashton and Irene.

.

“Its nothing, now let’s go.”

“Sure!”

After that both of them headed downstairs while Hana was running upstairs to call Irene for dinner.

.

“Lady winter, it’s time for dinner. Please open the door.” Hana said while knocking at the door but she got no response, she tried to call jer gain but the door still didn’t opened. Sje even tried to eardrop but nothing expect for silence was heard.

.

“Why is she not replying? Did she fall asleep again but she was talking with young master so….(God did they get into another fight ?) Ph God!” Hana thinking of every possible possibility opened the door with the spare key which can be only used in times like this.

.

“My Lady are you oka—” Hana said as she quickly went inside but her words left halfway as what she saw there was totally opposite from her imagination.

As she saw both the kids sleeping in each yours arms just like the way they used to at their toddler age.

.

“Wow…They look so cute together…just like before. I am on the verge of tears.” Hana said as she smiled while looking at them and just when a tear was about to leave her eyes, Irene opened her eyes.

.

“Hana…why are you standing there?” Irene asked as she rubbed her sleepy eyes.

“That…It’s time for dinner, my Lady.” Hana said as she bowed towards her and quickly wiped off the tear.

.

“Its dinner time already, no wonder I am feeling so hungry.” Irene said as she placed her hands on her stomach which was warbling.

“Hey, Ash wake up. It’s dinner time.” She said in her sleepy husky voice while shaking him continuously.

.

“Hmm…”

“Wake up!!!” Irene said as she removed the blankets form their bodies and made him sit straight by force.

“Sister, I am up so please stop shaking me.” Ash said as he opened his eyes and looked at Hana with a confused look.

.

“Huh? Did I doze off right here?”

“Young Master, my lady everyone is waiting for your arrival so please hurry up a bit.” Hana said as she sweatdropped by their clumsy and slow progress.

.

“Hana, we might need some more time. So, tell others to start ahead of us.” Irene said as she gently came down the bed followed by Ash.

“Well…I understand. Then please excuse me.” Hana helplessly said as she noticed how messy they look.

.

After that Hana went straight to the dinning room and told Raymond and Sam to start beifre them, which made him quite upset and worried with thousands of thoughts running inside his head.

“(They haven’t come down yet, are they probably angry with me? Will they not talk to me ever again? Did I overdid it today?)”

.

“My Lord, please be at ease, both the young lady and young master have just woken up form their afternoon nap so they would need some time to fresh up before coming down.” Hana who noticed his anxiety said as she bowed towards him and the sudden darkness which covered his face before disspaered without a trace.

.

“So, that’s the case *sigh* it’s okay let them rest and if they want they can just skip coming down. We can send the food to their room.”

“There is a no need to do that, we are here.” Ashton who was walking beside Irene said as he waved at Sma who was busy grabbing the food.

.

“Good Evening father.” Both of the siblings greeted them sweetly as if the choas at the beginning never happened.

“Good Evening…sit down.” Raymond said as he stammered in between probably because of nervousness.

.

“Good Evening!” Sam who was having jer food happily said as she grinned towards them with a total different glowing face.

“Did something good happen to you? How come you glowing brighter then the moon?” Ash asked as he poked her face with his index finger.

.

“Hehe, you are right. Soe.hring good did happen and….it’s all thanks to Lord Winter.”

“Father? What did he do?” Irene who got excited just after listening to Raymond name asked while looking at Sam.

.

“Samira, you don’t really need to tell them all that—” Raymond to save himself from Another cliche moment said but Sam didn’t think so and that was how a whole different image of the less talkive Raymond’s image turned upside upside down form his usual image.

.

“He told you about stars and our grandparents!” Sam and Irene said at the same time time and then glanced at Raymond who acted as if he couldn’t hear anything nor could he see anyone except for the food infront of him.

.

“Wow! Father I didn’t expect you to be so dreamy.” Irene said as she smiled while Hana placed Food on her and Ashton’s plate.

“No wonder, sister gets distracted every now and then she must have got it form father.” Ash said as he giggled and Irene just galred at him.

.

“No you wrong, Irene is dreamy not like me but like Freya. And you are the one who is like me, stubborn and rebelling.” Raymond said as he looked at Ash who was just starting to have his food.

.

“I understand stubbornness but about rebelling…I can’t really think of father being rebelling.” Ash said as he shook his head.

“I agree” Both Irene and Raymond said at the same time while shaking their head.

.

“You kids, don’t try to trouble me and have your food first as for my rebelling stories I would tell them after some time. When you reach the age of a teen.” Raymond said he looked at the chef and nodded his head slightly.

And just when he did so the door opened and a maid with tray full of things go the kids prefer and like.

.

“What is this? Chocolate, cookies.”

“Wow!” Ash and Irene exclaimed as they took the thing they liked and ate it, not forgetting Sam who was happy to see them happy enjoying the present given by the lord.

.

“This is a present or maybe just take it as a token of apology from the Lord for his behaviour from before….you know he has been reflecting on himself ever since than.” Butler Bill said as he whispered the last part in Irene’s and Ash ears which made them feel quite bad.

.

“Bill is right, no matter how you see this matter. It wasn’t right of me to scold you two so harshly….it must have scared you a lot…Please forgive me.”

“Father!” Both of them with a panicked expression while standing foem their seats out of sudden.
