Chapter 9
She does that whenever she’s confused, worried or surprised.
“Nothing, I’ll just call the doctor once she wakes up” Ethan said.
“But we can just rub her body with wet cloth, or she should just take a cold bath” Irish wanted to say but couldn’t.
Maybe the rich call the doctor for everything.
“Let’s take her to her room first for a comfortable sleep” Irish said. “Oh. yeah” Ethan said and started leading the way.
Ethan placed Arin on her bed and then kissed her forehead. He pulled her blanket over her and then turned to Irish.
He found her staring all over Arin’s room.
Likewise, he isn’t surprised because he made his daughter room more like a princess’s room. She’s his princess.
“Wow!” Irish finally exclaimed.
The girl’s room looks like a queen’s, the first time she had entered it with Sarah, she didn’t actually have the time to look around.
Pink color dominated the whole room.
Arins shoe rack amazed Irish . the shoes are damn much, and they’re all beautiful, her wardrobe size is like an adult’s.
There was a giant crystal chandelier hanging from the center of the white painted ceiling.
The room was so wide that it occupied three two-seater couch and a sparkling glass table in the middle.
There was a TV plastered on the wall.
The floor was tiled with sparkling white marble tiles and Irene could see her reflection. She even had a mini freezer in her room.
If Sarah hadn’t said the room belonged to Arin, she would have asked Ethan whose room it was. On the wall, Arin’s name was boldly written there.
Irish almost cried at the amount of money that would have been used to set up this room alone. Something she had never had.
“Irish” Ethan called, bringing her back to reality. “Hu.. h?” She stuttered.
“I’m sorry. I was a little lost,” She said.
“It’s fine, what happened earlier…the lady called Catherine is Arin’s mother”Ethan paused.
“Oh” Irish blinked, now getting everything. But why did Arin start crying? Because she doesn’t like her mum?
“But we divorced five years ago” Ethan continued.
“I’m so sorry about that” Irish said and Ethan shrugged.
It has been five years, and he got over her already. “Arin cried because I Sweared, she hates that a lot”
Irish nodded.
“I don’t allow her in my house except on her visitation days, which is twice a month for 24 hours. She comes every second week of the month to check on Arin and please whenever she’s around, do not hesitate to call me immediately because I might be at work and I don’t leave her alone with my daughter.” Ethan said.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
“Okay” Irish nodded. She had a lot to ask, but she couldn’t ever dare open her mouth. Curiosity was getting the best of her.
Arin shifted a bit in her sleep and the blanket fell off her shoulder. Both Irish and Ethan quickly made to draw the blanket back at the same time, Irish reached it first.
She pulled it properly over Arin and then realized she had beaten Ethan to it. She smiled to herself,, but Ethan caught her.
“Why are you smiling?” He asked.
“I beat you to it” She suddenly laughed. “Damn!
What did she just do?” She thought.
“I’m sorry. It was not my intention to laugh” She quickly apologized. “It’s fine”Ethan smiled.
He had loved the way she laughed playfully.
This will be the first time he’ll see her laugh, and she looked more beautiful at it.
“You don’t have to be sorry cause you laughed, you are free to laugh anytime you please, You’re not my slave and I can’t prevent you from laughing”Ethan said, and she nodded.
“I need to get in my room now and start preparing for work tomorrow, you can go meet Gabrielle, so she’ll enlighten you more about the happenings around here but please you need to check on Arin every fifteen minutes”
“Okay, i will do just that” Irish said.
“Do you care for anything?” Ms. Gabrielle asked Irish as she entered the kitchen.
“No, Arin is asleep and Mr. Ethan said I can come spend some time with you” Irish said. “Oh, you’re welcome” Gabrielle smiled, motioning her to sit opposite her.
They both sat on the breakfast bar in the kitchen. “I’m sure you’re enjoying your work?”
“I am” Irish smiled.
“Told you Mr. Ethan is a good man, he treats his workers with all the respect they needed unlike some proud Billionare”
“That’s so obvious and Arin is also a nice kid, though her rules are not very nice, I mean isn’t she too little to place a rule?” Irish said and Gabrielle laughed.
“Arin can be eccentric at times. But, once she really likes you, she’ll be the one to break the rules she made for herself, she’s a good kid”Gabrielle said.
“Really?” Irish asked. “Yes”
“Oh. my, I need to go check on Arin” Irish said glancing at the wall clock. She stood up and quickly walked out of the kitchen.
Gabrielle smiled, she had actually liked the lady from the first day and had prayed and believed that Mr. Ethan will like her too.
Arin’s past nannies were always interested in checking out the whole house, rather than sit and talk with her.
Most of them do ask her what Ethan likes and dislikes, they concentrate more on Ethan than Arin whom they were here for.
But this lady is different.
Anyone can tell she genuinely cares for Arin even if she just resumed today.
Gabrielle had watched her from the kitchen while Arin was still in her arms and she had seen how Irish badly wanted to touch Arin’s hair,, but she didn’t. Arin was asleep and wouldn’t have known if anyone touched her hair,, but Irish didn’t use that advantage to disregard her rules. She kept strictly to the rules.
Gabrielle had been impressed and happy they finally had a different nanny.
“She’s not awake yet” Irish said, walking back into the kitchen. “Oh” Gabrielle smiled.
Irish took her seat opposite Gabrielle.
She found the woman interesting, she’s sharing so much with her, even if she just resumed today. She had been the only friend she had made.
“Can I ask you something?” Irish asked. “What?”
“Does Mr. Ethan pay his workers close to one million dollars a week?” Irish asked that one question in her mind.
“One million dollars a week?” Gabrielle nearly screamed. Irish nodded and Ms. Gabrielle blinked her eyes in shock. “Hell No!’.
