Irene The Lady Who Turned Down Fate - Chapter 196

“How? Why is she there…” Both the Irene said in unison as they saw The crown Prince holding Violet’s hand and walking down the stairs gracefully as his partner when it was supposed to be Rose’s place.

“Where is Rose? Why is Violet there!” Molly losing her calm said as she looked around and saw Rose waking towards them with her heels on her hands and a cold look in her face.

“Rose, why is violet in your place?” Irene asked as she grabbed her hands and looked at her in eye.

“Something happend…” Rose said with a cold look on her face as she looked at Violet who was dancing gracefully with the prince.

.

“( This is the same as the scene as that of the novel and by looking at Rose…it’s clear that there is no.way she will let off Violet…but why am I seeing all this?)” Irene thought as she felt a sudden pain in her heart and when she opend her eyes she was back to her original room with sweats overflowing her forhead.

.

“Hah–ha–what did I just dream about?” She talked with herself while touching her forhead which was now back to its normal temperature but unlikely Irene couldn’t remmber much of jer dream although she feels as she remembers it all but still she doesn’t.

.

“Werid…why can’t I remmber all of it? I just remember the palace, the crown prince…and the dance floor, Rose cold face…” She murmerd while hitng her head when suddenly Ash entered the room and rushed towards her.

“Why are you hiting yourself? Did the fever make your brain go nuts” Ash said as he scolded her while touching her forhead high unlike what he thought was cold.

.

“Hmm, looks like your fever is gone.” Ash said ad he smiled while looking at Irene who was lost in thoughts again.

“Sister! Wake up!” He said as he tapped on her cheeks which bought her mind back to the scene.

.

“Ashton, when did you come here?” She asked while looking at him as if she saw a ghost.

“…Maybe the fever really made your head go nuts, Dumbo I gave been here for the last 10 minutes taking like an idiot and here you are drifting to another land.” Ash said in a sulky tone which made Irene laugh.

“Okay Okay, my mistake I shouldn’t have drifted to my dreamland. But shouldn’t you be careful about your way of speech.” Irene said as she removed the blankets form her body.

.

“My way of speech?”

“Hmm, just now you used term which are not even discovered here.”

“Oh, bu why would it matter?”

“It matters…Ashton, you know this world is totally different form our old world so we should be carefull its better then regretting later.” Irene said as she patted his head.

.

“Okay…but where do you think you are going?” Ash said as he looked at Irene who was about to set her foot on the ground.

“My fever is gone, so I was thinking of—”

“Visiting Lady Willson?”

“–Yes– after that day I fell so sick that I didn’t get a chance to talk with her….I am very worried…” Irene said as she looked at the door

“The sun has rosen up in the sky, what do you think she is doing?” Duke Willson asked as he looked at the butler.

“Your Grace, the lady has waken up and having breakfast with the young Master…in her room.” He added at last while glancing at the Duke who hearing the last words kept down his tea cup.

.

“Just for how long…are they thinking of keeping this up?” The Duke asked as he sighed.

“Your Grace…what do you mean?” The butler not understanding his point asked while raising one of his eyebrows.

.

“Are you really asking his grace what he means? Butler Mill tell me….do those two have any idea about the rumors circling around the capital!” Jessica who was standing beside the Duke asked as she slammed her hands on the table.

“Madam Jessica??”

“Jessica please don’t loose your temper…”

.

“Your Grace, how could I not losse my temper especially when…your name is being tarnished…and that too because they…no I shouldn’t blame them either…it’s me…it’s all because of me…” She said while looking at the ground with teary eyes.

“Its all because of me…you a god like person is being called a…womanizer..who doesn’t care about his children’s..”

.

“Womanizer!” The butler said as his eyes widened and his head immediately turned towards the Duke who was comforting Jessica.

.

“Jessica, we talked about this before didn’t we? I told you not to blame yourself….”

.

“My Grace, how could I not blame myself…afterall it’s me who is joking the Willson family…and somewhere it is because if my incompetence the kids have got such an attitude…please forgive me…” She said while rubbing her tears.

.

“No, it’s not your fault…all this years I have seen how much hard you worked for them. And as for the incompetence…it must be because I didn’t follow my responsibilities as a father should do. So, the only one to blame is me…I couldn’t understand my kids.” He said while putting his hands on her shoulders and giving her a wry smile.

.

The butler feeling it’s not his place to be left as soon as he could bit ad he went outside, he saw no other then Harris standing there with a incesed look on his face while holding a cup of milk on his hands.

.

“Young Master…”

“Butler Mill, please make sure those rumours don’t reach sister’s ears…please…” He said and started walking towards Rose’s room which was towards another corner.

.

“Hah, I wonder what type of evil got its eyes in this family…why do they never have a single happy moment…God please help them.” The bukter said as he looked at the upward direction and then continued his usual work.

.

“Sister, did you finish your fruits? See, I even bought you a glass of milk by myself.” Harris who walked till her door with a heavy heart still put a smile on his face while entering her room, just so that she wouldn’t worry.

.

“Harris…you didn’t have to do so much. And why did you bring only one glass? Won”t you have it yourself?” Rose who was sitting near the balcony asked as she looked at him with a small smile on her face which looked a little thinner.

.

“Sister, I had enough of milk. So, this is just for you, now no more talking just finish this quickly.” He said while smiling and handing her the glass gently.

.

“Okay, Okay.” She said while drinking the milk at once.

“…Sister, aren’t you bored of sitting inside the house whole day? How about we go outside?” Harris asked as he held her hands.

.

“Going outside…” She said with a little hesitation,

“Its fine if Sister doesn’t want to.” He said while smiling at her.

“…No! I want to go outside too…when should we leave?”

“Great, how about today afternoon? We can go and hang around the market area while having some delicious street food.” Harris said as he giggled while Rose patted his head and looked at him quietly.

.

Meanwhile at the Winter Palace,

“Ashton…Are you a human?” Irene who had been tied to her bed asked as she looked at Ash who was siting near her.

“Sister, don’t wate your energy in talking and sleep. If only you rest well today I will allow you to look for Lady Willson Tomorrow.”

.

“Just how can you be like this! You know I am the elder one don’t you? So how come you are being so disrespectful toward me?” Irene said as she tired to break free the clutches but nothing helped and Ashton who was fed up with his nonsense at ladt had to close her mouth with his hand.

.

“Sister, just like the way Lady Willson is important to you! My sister Irene is important to me! And I can never think of making any compromise on that aspect. So please don’t make more anxious and sleep tight. Harrisnis there for her…and Sister no matter how much you say or do for someone until and unless they make up their own mind nothing can help.” Ash said as he smiled at her and left the room.

.

“Do you think, I don’t know that…but still like a fool I keep trying to help her out…because sometimes all we need is a push…and even though I can’t do much I can atlest be thr push button in her life.” Irene talked to herself as she closed her eyes.

.

Ashton who listened on all the words Irene said smiled and was about to walk way when suddenly he meet Sam on the hallways.

“Ashton!” Sam said with a smile as she held his hands tightly.

“Whats wrong with you? Why are you being like this?” He asked while removing her hands form his.

.

“Being like what?” She asked back while tilting her head.

“Being all touchy and clingy..” Ashton said out of frustration which made her to flinch and because it all too sudden she even got hiccups.
