Irene The Lady Who Turned Down Fate - Chapter 191

“I am sorry but I was getting really bored inside my room whole day and I don’t have anything else to do so I can just talk either with you guys or just go to sleep….and unlikly enough you guys won’t be here to so I am sad…” Ashton said as he scratches the back of his neck and his eyes somehow meet with Sam and his ears turn all red.

.

“Okay okay you drama king, just tell me what you want and I will bring it will coming back.” Raymond said while rolling his eyes whereas Ashton had a bug smile on his face as soon as he heard the word ‘wants.

.

“Nothing much, I just want to eat some of the top notch bakery pastries and bright side cookies along with the fruits juice, yogurt and other milk made products.” He said with a bug smile whereas Irene giggled at his actions.

.

“Such a big list, but no worry I wilkbring all of them. So, make sure to get enough sleep and don’t create any fuss until we are back.”

“And take your medicines on time.” Irene said while patting his head.

.

“Fine, now leave or else you all will be late for the ball.” Ashton said as he waved his hand on the air as three of them left the mansion.

.

Meanwhile at the ball,

Everything was of the best quality from decoration to food to the clothes wore by everyone everything was so perfect that some might even mistake it as a wedding hall.

“Is everything ready?”

“Yes your grace, everything is ready just like the way you said.”

“And what about that troublemaker?”

“Your Grace, Young Master just returned to his room and is probably getting dressed now. Please don’t worry no matter how naughty young master is he would never do anything which would harm you or the Willson family name.”

.

The butler said as he handed the Duke his black velvet coat which had a red rose drawn on its collar.

“I know that too, his mouth won’t say sanybting but even his expressions say a lot and you know that.” The Duke said as he wore the bow of the same coloue ad of the coat on his neck which suited well with his red shirt underneath along with black pants and shoes with ground laces and linings.

.

“Your Grace there is nothing we can do about his face nor can we tell him to fake happiness…”

“Juts let him be, the media might atlest understand a kid’s emotions and if they don’t then we might as well shut them up forever.” He said while spraying a little bit of perfume and with his hair down he was fianlly now good to go.

.

“Your Grace, I am in no position to say this but…I think you should think about this again beacsue once you pass this line, there would be no coming back.” The butler said as he bowed towards him.

“Your worries are not left unseen by me but don’t worry I believe this choice would change everything for good.” He said while smiling and leaving the room.

.

“Good or bad…only time can say but poor young Lady…I guess now the little girl inside her would never be able to see the world outside.” The butler said as he closed the windows and curtains.

“You are right.” Harris who was just passing by said as he looked at the clossed curtains.

.

“The tiny hope we had ever since mother passed away are now totally gone….but atleast sister isn’t aware if all this…atleast for a bit long she can be at ease….” Harris said as he walked down but suddenly he bumped into someone.

.

“Oh, I am so sorry—” He said looking at the person before him and it was someone he wished the least to meet.

“Well, not bad atleadt you have some manners.” Jessica wearing a blue dress with heart-shaped top and high-waisted skirt along with a choker on her neck and sliver bangles on her wrist, with hair in a messy bun said as she smiled at him.

.

“Tch!” Harris said and walked past her rolling his eyes.

“How could he just walk past you like that?” Her sidekicks said while glaring at him.

“Let him be afterall he is going to be my child only….with time I would teach me how to behave just like his sister.” She said with a evil smirk.

.

While the Willson family was busy being gathered, the winter family had already arrived at the ball and as they thought the ball was full of people of big, rich and powerful backgrounds which someone like the winter family have no relation with.

.

“Wow! This ball feels more like a carnival with so many faces and decorations.” Sam said as she clenched her fists nervously as it was her first time to such a social event.

“Lady Maxim, don’t worry no matter how glamorous their dresses and this place is, you are still the prettiest so be confident.” Irene said while patting her head.

.

“She is right, now let’s head inside. Shall we?” Raymond asked as he forwarded his hands for Sam to hold them.

“Yes.” Sam said as she took a deep breath and took his hand.

.

“The Winter Family had arrived”  The announcer said as loudly as possible and everyone who were busy in their own world turned their faces towards the door.

“The winter family, it’s been a long time since I last saw them.”

“Right, and didn’t Lady Winter get selected as a candidate?”

“She did but got eliminated, such poor luck….but who si thr child in between them? Sje looks very ordinary, although her dress is kind of unique.” The people in the hall started talking

with every step they took.

.

“Lady Witner when will everyone stop following and looking at us?” Sam asked Irene as she looked at her pitifully.

“Maybe when they get tired or bored we are not sure but you don’t worry.” She said as they reached the center and unlike other days today it was Harris who was socializing with everyone.

.

“Gretting to Lord Winter, Lady Winter and Lady Maxim, Welcome.” Harris said as he bowed towards them respectfully and Both the ladies did the same with a smile on their faces.

.

“Greetings to Young Grace too.” Raymond said as he smiled at him.

“Lord Winter if you don’t mind then how about you visit father once he has been waiting for you in his office.”.He said while offering him space to leave and Raymond unaware of what’s coming next just followed waht he said and went towards his room.

.

“And for you ladies, would you like to have some snacks with me? They are the best ones at the entire capital.” He said while offering them.eavh a slice.

.

Irene who has been quite for a while now finally noticed the tiredness on Harris eyes.

“Here have this.” She said while giving him a very small portion of green vegetables which he rarely ate.

.

“I gave you cake and you are giving me veggies, what kind of exchange us this?” He murmered while walking behind them.

.”Of course I have to do it or else the tiredness in your eyes and your dark circles would soon become the next big news sprading weide and far.”

.

“Are they really so bad.”

” I have no idea about makeup and all but I know that someone with a face like yours would look very bad with dark circles or any other thing popping up firm here and there.” Irene said trying to reassurance…

.

“Hmm, you are right.” Unlike other days today he was especially quite and not in his usual fun and jolly mood, which was not left unbidden by Irene’s eyes and she was now starting to get worried about him too.

.

“Are you okay? You don’t really look good. And where is rose? Didn’t she return back?” Irene asked noon stop so in order to stop her Sam pullec out a cookie and pushed it inside her mouth after which she was finally quite.

.

“I am okay, Sister is at the palace and she might return someday later. And for my looks this darkcirlces aren’t enough to dull my shine.” He said confidently while putting back the vegetables he was served to which Irene just rolled her eyes and continued eating her food.

.

“Lady Maxim, is there anything you want just tell me.?” She said while looking at Sam who was busy at the desert section.

“Lady Witner, don’t worry about me, I am doing great.”

“I can see that although you should still not too much or else you might have to visit the doctor.” Irene said while shaking her head slightly.

.

“Okay!” Sam said and stated enjoying herself when suddenly she bumped into someone, who was wearing a very pretty dress and a mask.

.

“I am sorry.” She said in a tiny voice and the lady she bumped into just patted her head and told walked passed her to another direction.

“Such a dominating aura who was she?”
