Chapter 90
“What’s going on brother? Why does she have bodyguards of her own?” Jessica asked over dinner.
“You didn’t notice all this while?” Ethan gulped water.
“No”
“Dad said it’s to strengthen our security” Arin said, throwing fries into her mouth.
“Well… yeah” Ethan agreed.
“To strengthen security? And she has four bodyguards to herself alone! A nanny has four bodyguards to herself alone?” Jessica said and Irish winced in her chair.
Jessica sighed, starting to get really irritated with all the new happenings in Ethan’s house.
“There’s more reason for it than just strengthening security, I’m gonna tell you about it later” Ethan said.
“There’s no reason for a nanny to have four bodyguards” Jessica dropped her spoon.
“Stop talking about the job ‘nanny’ like its the filthiest job on Earth. It’s a decent job with a decent earning” Ethan chided.
“Whatever” Jessica rolled her eyes.
“That was rude” Gabrielle said.
“I’m sorry brother” Jessica said.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
“I was never rude to my brother until you came along!!” Jessica yelled at Irish who was looking like a lost sheep.
“Jessica!” Ethan warned.
“I’m done eating!” She said, pushing her food away.
“She even bring in her so called Dolly dog into your house and you welcomed it. Argh!” She walked away after giving Irish a heated glare.
“Why did you piss her off?” Mrs Harlow asked facing Ethan but indirectly referring to Irish. She has been silent all the while cause she was still fuming about eating on the same table with a nanny.
It’s a blow to her ego.
“I did not piss her off mum! She was rude!”Ethan said.
“I wasn’t talking to you” Mrs Harlow said and faced Irish who pressed her lips together.
“Why did you piss her off? She rarely gets pissed when you weren’t here? Are you a demon?” Mrs Harlow asked Irish.
“Mum, leave Irish out of this” Ethan said.
“Of course” Mrs Harlow smiled with just one corner of her mouth lifted.
“Gabrielle, have a maid bring me my dinner.” Mrs Harlow stood up.
“Irish, I’m not being mean but I’m not used to eating on the same table with a lowlife ” Mrs Harlow said, walking away briskly.
“Grandma, what’s a lowlife?” Arin asked running after Mrs Harlow before Ethan could stop her.
Gabrielle quickly ordered a maid to take Mrs Harlow’s meal to her.
“I’m so sorry about that Irish” Ethan said, disappointed at his Mum.
He’s just so glad she wasn’t the one who raised him.
“It’s fine” Irish smiled, surprising Ethan and Gabrielle
“That was the first time your Mum actually called my name” She laughed.
“Are you okay?” Gabrielle asked.
“I’m fine” Irish nodded, trying hard not to make her tears fall.
She’s a low life obviously.
Then why is she being so sad about being called one.
Ethan could see she was hurt beneath her smile.
He almost wished his mum and Jessica hadn’t come.
“Do you think i should continue eating at the dining?, I’ll be fine eating in the kitchen” Irish said. “NO” Ethan disagreed.
“I don’t want to be the reason Mrs Harlow won’t eat at the dining anymore”
“She will, she’s just pissed tonight”
“No, she’s truly not comfortable with eating with me, she’s not used to it truly, maybe i keep wanting to make her puke” Irish smiled sadly.
“Com’on , don’t say that Irisj, you know i don’t like it when one think low of oneself, I’m fine with you eating with me, that’s all that matters”
Ethan said.
“Jessica and Mrs Harlow are both affected by what Arin’s past nannies have done, they are not always this way. They are one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet” Gabrielle said and Ethanlaughed.
“No, they are not nice. Truly, they might be affected by what Arin’s past nannies have done but those ladies are not nice, they are partners in crime, i don’t just know why i love them so much” Ethan groaned and Gabrielle and Irish smiled.
“I shouldn’t be surprised by Mrs r behavior, she’s a billionaire for God’s sake and she always dines with well to do people, she shouldn’t be blamed for finding my presence here annoying, that’s typical of wealthy women, she sees me at other part of the house and nevercomplain, she’s not just used to having people like me eat with her. I perfectly understand her.
But Jessica, i don’t know why she’s treating me that way, if she doesn’t care about myfeelings, she should at least consider the fact that I’m far older than her” Irish said, blinking back tears.
“I’m so sorry about that” Gabrielle rubbed her shoulder.
“Just give her time Irish, she’s gonna get used to you and stop being mean” Ethan said.
“It’s fine” Irish said.
“She must have met Arusha” Ethan said, trying to change the topic.
Irish’s face lit up at the mention of her brother’s name.
“She came home today, very pissed” Gabrielle said.
” I guess competition has started” Ethan laughed.
“Competition?” Gabrielle asked.
“Yeah, i guess you don’t know how intelligent Arusha is” Ethan said.
“I do but you know Jessica is intelligent as well” Gabrielle said.
“Yeah” Ethan agreed.
“Don’t you think we should tell her about Arusha? So they’ll work hand in hand in class” Nola smiled.
“No!” Irish said inwardly, not wanting that girl around her brother.
“No, i think we should leave them for now” Ethan said.
“You think so?” Gabrielle asked.
“Yeah”
“Will you come with me to my workshop tonight? I have so many work to do” Irish whispered to Gabrielle.
“Yes!” He grinned.
“I hope both of you don’t spend the night there again” Gabrielle said and they laughed.

Jessica stood in front of her mirror as she applied make up, she put on her school wears after that and let down her hair.
She brushed it and moved it to one part of her shoulder.
“Perfect” she grinned.
She indeed looked stunning as she walked down the stairs with her backpack.
She met everyone having breakfast, her godmother wasn’t there though.
“Good morning everyone” She said making her presence known.
Gabrielle smiled seeing how pretty her daughter looked.
“How was your night?” Ethan asked.
“Normal” she pecked him and went to kiss her mum too.
“A rules, how was your night?” Jessica smiled as she kissed Arin.
She calls Arin that because Arin loves giving rules, she owns her own rule booklet and always like to live by her rules.
“Great” Arin smiled.
There’s something familiar about the way Irish packs her hair… Jessica thought.
It seems she has seen the style somewhere…
It’s a beautiful style though..
Jessica gulped out of Ethan’s coffee and took his last toast, he groaned and she laughed.
“Bye” She waved, eating the toast as she walked away.
“Bye”
She doesn’t sit to eat breakfast at home, she loves being early to school.
She got outside and the door of her SUV was opened by one of her bodyguards.
She got into her car and two bodyguards got in after her.
The driver turned on the ignition and started driving.
She brought out her phone, still eating the toast.
“Hey wait!” She said before the driver drives out of the gate.
“Go get me a bottle of water inside before we leave” She said to one of her bodyguards and he quickly carried out her order.
