Chapter 83
“Happy birthday” ” Wishes filled the whole house as Arin and Ethan stepped into the living room. The whole workers stood there with different wrapped gifts in their hands.
Gabrielle already made cake and it was sitting prettily on the table..
Ethan carried her in his arms as they sang for her.
She was still in her pajamas, she only brushed before coming downstairs with Ethan who had been the first person to wish her happy birthday.
He had given her a tiny and expensive necklace as a gift though he still had more gifts for her.
Irish could see the beautiful necklace, laying cutely on Arin’s neck and she knew Ethan had given it to her.
She hoped Arin would like the dress she made for her.
She is so nervous.
They finished singing and wished her Happy birthday once more, Ethan dropped her gently on her feet to blow off the lit candles on her cake.
She did and everyone clapped happily.
“I’m seven now” She giggled, cutting her cake and eating it.
“Thanks everyone, i love you all” Arin said with a mouthful of strawberry cake.
Whipped cream was smeared on her cheeks and Ethan helped her wipe it off with a smile.
Everyone dropped their gifts for her and she thanked them one after the other.
They all left to go back to work after Ethan promised everyone they’re gonna have a nice treat today.
They were all happy, knowing how fun today’s gonna be.
Iriah and Gabrielle were the last people to drop their gifts.
“Arusha said i should give you this and Mum said i should give you this” Irish said, handing two wrapped gifts to Arin who smiled and told her to thank them.
“And this is mine” Irish said, stretching a large box to Arin, it wasn’t wrapped.
“Happy birthday once again” Irish pecked her cheeks and Arin smiled Happily.
Arin opened Gabrielle’s gift first and it was a stunning hair band that Arin wore on her hair immediately.
She squealed as she hugged Gabrielle
“Thanks Gab, i love it” Arin grinned.
“I’m glad you do”Gabrielle smiled.
“I’m gonna open yours next” Arin said as she said down, dragging Irish’s gift to her tiny leg.
Ethan could see how hopeful Irish looked.
She was obviously hoping Arin would like the gift and he couldn’t wait to see what was in there himself.
They watched Arin as she opened the box and there laid a stunning pink dress with crystalsaround the neckline, it’s a knee length gown, it was plain down to the waist and was gathered from the waist down to the knee, the bottom was covered with precious pearls.
It looked just like a little princess dress.
It was so elegant and eye catching that they all gasped.
the
Arin ran into Irish’s arm, deeply astonished by the gift.
She has beautiful dresses but this dress Irish had given her surpassed them all.
It’s so simple yet with a touch of royalty which made Arin feel so special.
“I’m glad you like it” Irish smiled, relieved.
Ethan and Gabrielle also commented on how beautiful the dress is.
“Happy birthday” Unfamiliar voices said and they all turned to the door.
Irish looked confused cause she has never seen them before.
A beautiful teenager and a stunning woman whose outfit screamed ‘wealth’ .
Arin jumped up with a scream and ran to them happily.
“That’s Jessica and my mother”Ethan said to Irish.
“Oh.. my!” She gasped.
How couldn’t she have known? Ethan had said it on the plane that they might appear today and they did.
Jessica looked more beautiful than Gabrielle always said.
She was in a jumpsuit, red heels and leopard coat, with huge diamond earrings and a silver necklace, her hair was dyed red and packed into a tight ponytail which accentuated her face.
Bright green eyes, pointed nose and thin lips which she had obviously applied red lip gloss on. She looked like a model, a striking model who can appear in front of a magazine without question.
“A rules” Jessica teased Arin and laughed.
Irish noticed she has a nice voice too.
“I thought you both weren’t gonna come, I’ll be so pissed” Arin said in Mrs Harlow’s arm. “Oh.. my, you’ve added so much weight, what has Gabrielle been feeding you with” Mrs Harlow asked as she gently placed Arin back to her feet.
Jessica was reuniting with her Mum, hugging her and kissing her all over the face, they both giggled, obviously happy to see each other.
“Grandma, Where’s Sarah?” Arin said.
“Oh baby, She couldn’t make it but I know she’ll surely say Hi”.
“Oh.. okay” Arin said.
Irish could boldly say Ethan got his striking looks from his mum.
She looks far younger than her age and would easily pass for Ethan’s sister.
She didn’t look old enough to have a son his age, she still had a trim figure, Ethan once told her she plays golf and tennis with his father on weekends, she was athletic and in good shape.
She was wearing a black channel cocktail dress with small silver earrings. She has warm blue eyes, her straight blonde hair was pulled back and there was this gracefulness hovered around her, just with a look, one would know she’s immensely rich!
“You guys should chat outside with others” Mrs Harlow told the four bodyguards standing behind her , they looked so huge and mean than Ethan’s bodyguards.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
They bowed and left.
Mrs Harlow stretched out her arms and Ethan knew what that means.
He pulled his mum into a hug with a broad smile.
“Billionaire Ethan Harlow”She teased and they both laughed.
Jessica was still with her mum and Ethan was with his too, with Arin tagging along.
Irish stood alone nervously, she likes them and hope they’ll like her in return and she has been wanting to meet Jessica.
Ethan kissed his Mum on the cheeks and she did the same.
Jessica jumped on Ethan’s back after his embrace with his Mum was over.
They both fell on the couch, laughing as they teased eachother.
Gabrielle and Mrs Harlow hugged each other too and finally the greetings was over.
Mrs Harlow and Jessica stared at Irish.
They knew who she was after the scandal with Catherine at the Ice cream parlor. Jessica was staring hard at her and Irish knew immediately that the girl doesn’t like her, Mrs Harlow’s face was expressionless.
“Meet Irish, she’s Arin’s nanny and..”
“Blah blah blah” Jessica rolled her eyes.
“That was rude” Ethan scolded sternly.
“I’m sorry brother” Jessica said, giving Irish a scornful look.
Mrs Harlow hadn’t cast her any bad looks but the looks she was giving her wasn’t warm either. Irish felt like crying.
“Irish is a very good person, i like her so much” Arin said.
“Yes she is”Gabrielle agreed.
“She’s a great friend of mine” Ethan said.
“That’s what you say until she turns out to be another monster again” Jessica said.
