Chapter 112
Jessica and Irish turned to her, they both knew she was talking about Mr Ethan.
They smiled.
“Ohh.. you’re here Jessy” Mrs Harlow sat on the chair.
“Yes godmother and Irish is going to make so many beautiful dresses for me” Jessica
announced to Mrs Harlow happily.
“That’s one of the things you enjoy, having a fashion designer close to you” Mrs Harlow smiled. She had decided to make Irish her personal fashion designer but she’s not ready to tell her yet.
“And Irish, the olivia you’re talking about, do you know her last name?” Mrs Harlow asked.
The name Olivia is quite rare in California and the only Olivia she knew was Olivia Mails. the princess of King city.
“No, Arusha said she doesn’t have a last name” Irish said.
“Oh.. my.. God!” Mrs Harlow exclaimed, getting on her feet immediately.
“What’s wrong?” Jessica and Irish asked.
“Uh.. nothing. I mean, i just remembered something. I need to go” Mrs Harlow said and hurried out of Irish workshop.
Royalties hide their last names in order to keep their identity but not many people know that.. Mrs Harlow is so sure the Olivia in Jessica’s school is the princess of King City or why else won’t she have a last name.
Who doesn’t have a last name!
“Ethan” Mrs Harlow called as she walked into his room.
He was sitting on his bed, working on his laptop.
“Mum” He said, without raising up his head.
She sat on the bed beside him…
“I just made a discovery” Mrs Harlow said, she was still stunned.
“Really?’ what’s that?” Ethan asked.
“Princess Olivia Mails of King City is the one in Jessica’s class!” She said and Ethan didn’t act surprised.
“You knew?!” Mrs Harlow asked and he nodded.
“Wait.. i hope you didn’t tell anyone she’s a princess?”Ethan asked.
“Of course not, i know how much they love hiding their identities, i wouldn’t do that” Mrs Harlow said.
“I was invited for dinner in the Royal Palace months ago and i met every member of the Royal family.” Ethan said.
“Oh.. my! You were invited to the palace?” Mrs Harlow was surprised.
“Yeah” Ethan nodded.
“And you didn’t say anything! You should have uploaded pictures and make people know you visited the palace” Mrs Harlow said and Ethan laughed.
“You know i don’t do things like that. Though Prince Alexandre Louis and i took some pictures but i never uploaded it” Ethan said.
“Really?” Mrs Harlow asked and Ethan fetched his phone.
He unlocked it and showed her the pictures.
“OMG! Ethan, you’re an asshole! You know how much i really cherish royalties, I’ve been dying to get invited to the Royal Palace! I’ve only visited the white house once” Mrs Harlow said as she scrolled through the pictures.
She was amazed and happy.
“You should help me get a chance to visit the palace for once Ethan, i know you can do it” Mrs Harlow said.
Ethan sighed. “There’s a Royal ball coming up, if i get invited. I’ll take you along”
“Yes!” Mrs Harlow screamed.
“Mum!” Ethan chided.
“I’m sorry, I’m just so excited” She squealed like a kid.
“I’m going to meet the queen and we’ll take some pictures together, I’ll get to tour that exquisite Palace, I’ll get to speak to royalties and even make friends with queens. OMG!” Mrs Harlow said dreamily.
“Mum!” Ethangroaned. “I’m not sure I’ll be invited yet”
“Who wouldn’t invite billionaire Ethan Harlow, your invite is on the way son” Mrs Harlow grinned.
“I should go tell Irish to make me a beautiful dress” Mrs Harlow said, hurrying out of Ethan’s room.
She slammed the door out of excitement and Ethan shook his head.
His dad should come take her away to Paris already.

Jessica and Irish helped Mrs Gabrielle in the kitchen as she prepared different types of meals for Mr Harlow’s arrival.
The house was being cleaned by the workers, everyone was doing one thing or the other to welcome him.
It was like a king was coming home.
Ethan had said he’s gonna take half of the bodyguards and workers in the house to the quarters, Mr Ethan doesn’t like being surrounded by so many people.
He loves his privacy.
“I can’t wait to see God father again”Jessica smiled.
“Me too” Mrs Gabrielle said.
“He must be a nice person” Irish said.
“He’s just like the older version of Ethan, if not nicer” Mrs Gabrielle said.
“Really?” Irish asked.
“Yes, he’s so nice, funny, down to earth, he’s a disciplinary and doesn’t condone any act of nonsense, so many workers would be fired during his stay here” Jessica said.
“Woah!” Irish exclaimed.
“And he can be pretty blunt too, he says things as they are” Mrs Gabrielle supplied and everything they said got Irish nervous .
She really hope he’s going to be nice to her.
She can’t deal with another round of restlessness.
Mrs Harlow and Jessica were more than a handful.
“I have to go check on Arin”Irish said and walked out of the kitchen.
Arin was still asleep by the time Irish got to her room and she covered her properly with her blanket before leaving..
She met Ethan on her way back to the kitchen.
“Hey there, you look tired” He cupped her cheeks with his palms, she smiled.
“I’m not, i just feel… nervous about meeting Mr Harlow” She said.
“Ohh .. you’re having Mr Harlow’s fever” Ethan laughed and led her to a couch in his private living room.
“Well… my dad doesn’t bite, he’s just a bit blunt. He’s very nice and I’m sure he’s gonna like you, do not worry about him being another version of Mum and Jessica”Ethan said and Irisj laughed.
“And Jessica said a lot of workers are gonna get fired during his stay here” Irish said worriedly. “Yes, Dad likes things done with total competence, he doesn’t like errors and he’s so quick infiring workers. Though i do tell him he doesn’t have the right to fire my workers, i hope none of the would misbehave though” Ethan said.
“Woah!” Irish sighed.
“Chill..” Ethan assured.
“Arin is awake, i need to go” Irish said after a hearing a bell sound.

“Hey, look at you” Mrs Helen said to Arusha and Ryan as they walked into the house, damp with sweat.
Arusha grinned as he walked to the couch.
He and Ryan had played football in the field after they were done in the play station.
“Hi, Mrs Helen” Ryan bowed in greetings.
“Ryan, how are you?” Mrs Helen asked.
“I’m fine ma’am” Ryan smiled.
“You both reek of sweat, go get freshened up. I just made soup” Mrs Helen said .
“Thank goodness! I was starving, I’m not gonna freshen up, i want mine now ” Arusha said and Mrs Helen made to give him a correctional knock but he quickly hid behind Ryan.
“Silly boy!” She said while Ryan laughed.
“Buddy, I’ll go get freshened up” Ryan said.
“You’ll be back right?”Arusha asked.
“Yes, for the soup” Ryan smiled.
He wasn’t a shy person, he doesn’t pretend and Mrs Helen liked him for that .
“Okay” Arusha said and hurried to his room after Ryan left.

“He’s on his way already, i should go get dressed” Mrs Harlow giggled happily and headed to her room.
Irish helped Mrs Gabrielle set the table while Jessica and Arin waited in the living room.
“How is it going?” Ethan asked, stepping into the dining room.
“Everything is set” Mrs Gabrielle smiled.
“I hope Mr Harlow’s room is prepared already?” Jessica asked.
“No, he sleeps in the same room with his wife” Ethan said and Irish smiled.
“Grandpa!” They heard Arin scream happily and they headed to the living room.
Irish nervously walked behind Mrs Gabrielle and Ethan.
Her nervousness reduced when she sighted Sarah.
They got to the living room and Irish was instantly aware of Mr Harlow’s height.
Wow!
He’s a huge man, tall and powerfully built, his presence was almost overpowering.
He was surprisingly looking young, he could pass for Ethan’s elder brother.
He had huge golden eyes, just like Ethan’s, his face was perfectly chiseled.
His black hair touched his shoulders and he looked like an Italian.
He was putting on a real tuxedo, that looked incredibly expensive.
Wow!
This man is more than good looking.
No wonder Mrs Harlow is totally enthralled by him.
Arin was in his arms and he carried her like she weighs nothing, he was still kissing his grand daughter and didn’t seem to notice anyone yet.
“Arin, how have you been?” He asked Arin.
“I’ve been fine grandpa, i missed you” Arin said and giggled as he tickled her.
Ethan smiled, seeing how nervous Irish looks.
“Hey sister!” Jessica hugged Sarah.
“I missed you all” Sarah whined hugging Ethan and Mrs Gabrielle.
She smiled at Irish.
Mr Harlow finally dropped Arin and Jessica ran into his arms.
While Sarah carried Arin.
” Jes!” He smiled as he kissed Jessica’s forehead.
“I hope you didn’t cause trouble?” He asked Jessica and she shook her head.
“You did… i know you did” He pinched Jessica’s nose.
“Ouch! God father” Jessica whined.
“Mrs Gabrielle, come here” Mr Harlow gave her a hug too.
“It’s so nice to see you again” Mrs Gabrielle smiled.
“Sister you didn’t get me a gift” Arin whined.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
“I did, I’ll give it later” Sarah smiled pecking Arin.
“I miss your meals so much and i can’t wait to down it” Mr Harlow said to Mrs Gabrielle and Gabrielle grinned.
“Billionaire Ethan Harlow!” Mr Harlow smiled proudly, he was always proud of his son, Ethan’s success had surpassed his and he’s so glad he has a very hard working son.
“The real Harlow” Ethan smiled as they hugged each other, he patted Ethan’s back
affectionately.
Irish noticed, no bodyguard or worker was around.
“Dad, meet Arin’s nanny. Iri..”
“Irish Levine” Mr Harlow completed Ethan’s words and Ethan wasn’t surprised.
His mum might have told him about Irish.
“Hi.. Mr Harlow, it’s so nice.. to meet you” Irish said.
“Each of them told me how good you are, i hope you are as they said, do not disappoint me” Mr Harlow said.
“I won’t Sir” Irish said.
“By the way, you look beautiful, i find you perfectly okay to be Ethan’s future wife” Mr Harlow said and Irish stared at him with her mouth wide opened.
“Dad, don’t make her feel uncomfortable” Ethan sighed.
“Come here, come give me a hug” Mr Harlow told Irish, he was impressed with her.
None of Arin’s nanny has ever dressed so decently plus she looked calm, beautiful and natural.
Irish went to hug him even if she was so surprised.
His perfume filled her nostrils and she smiled at Ethan as she hugged his father.
He winked and smiled back at her.
“By the way, where’s my wife?” Mr Harlow said.
“She’s here” Mrs Harlow said walking into the living room, she left everyone stunned.
The dress Irish made for her looks so beautiful on her, it suits her like second skin and showed her enticing figure. The crystals glittered hard and clear.
Her hair was styled in a completely different way, that made her face more attractive, she had applied a little make up.
Mrs Harlow simply looked spectacular!
“Darling.. come here” Mr Harlow who was speechless finally spoke up and Mrs Harlow almost knocked him over with her hug.
“Let’s head to the dining, they’ll join us ” Ethan said, knowing his parents had no shame whatsoever in showcasing their love.
