Stranger's In Love
35|COMPLICATED

Alice walked in the footsteps of Gerald who was walking quickly towards her room. Gerald threw all the objects in front of him, he was completely enveloped in the flames of anger.

“Stop, Gerald!” pinta Alice's.

Gerald paused for a moment, then shifted his gaze wherever it was as long as it did not meet Alice's eyes because it could have let down his anger.

“We can not marry Irene to Kim, they are still brothers, Gerald” said Alice did not agree with the decision taken by her lover.

Gerald clenched his hands tightly, every time he remembered the problem it felt like he wanted to kill himself he felt like a failure because he could not keep Irene well as his older sister he was very irresponsible.

“Then what to do?” Gerald paused on his words.

“Hiding Irene's pregnancy until her child is born without a father?” continued.

Alice closed her eyes for a moment, it was more unlikely, how would Irene get through her days later? It's going to be very difficult for him.

“Gerald−”

“Already, Alice. There is no other way but to marry them both” Gerald cut.

Alice lowered. “All this is my fault” omitted, he cried again.

Gerald immediately hugged her while stroking her lover's head. “This is not your fault, nor is it my fault, but this is our fault as a sister who cannot look after her sister” whispered Gerald.

Alice wept, growing more and more soft in Gerald's embrace. Forgive us, Irene.

“I'll take care of the venue and the wedding date, and you can take care of the suits and dresses for them. But before, I was going to solve my family's problems, Dad had to know if Caroline was still alive” explained Gerald.

Irene sat down while hugging herself, her gaze blankly staring at the floor of her room. His mind wandered here and there, what would happen next? Why did his life flow become like this, everything became

it's messed up and getting harder to live with. What should Irene do at this time? Only Zean and Ainsley knew about her pregnancy, but Irene was unwilling to burden Ainsley's mind with the problems she was facing right now.

“I feel like I want to go back to being a little princess, Mom” Irene wrote to herself.

Right now what Irene needs is someone who can calm her down, she misses chatting with her mother, misses playing roller skates in the park until nightfall. Irene couldn't take it anymore, all the hard stuff

what he experienced really hurt his heart. Irene got up and put on her jacket and grabbed her bag and left.

Irene sat on a park bench, waiting for Ainsley whom she had previously contacted to meet in the park. Actually Irene did not want to meet her mother to be a place of grief for her, but Irene was not

hold on again, his mind was in turmoil and his heart felt so sick.

“My little daughter” calls Ainsley who sits next to Irene and hugs her.

“I miss you, mom” Irene, she cried in Ainsley's arms.

Ainsley frowned, confused. She knew her daughter well, Irene was not well.

“What is this because Arzean is going to marry the daughter of the Hillton family?” Tanya Ainsley who previously only found out about Arzean's marriage because Rihanna gave him an invitation.

Honestly, Ainsley doesn't understand. Her daughter is currently pregnant with Zean's child but why would Zean marry another woman instead? After all, didn't Irene and Zean love each other?

Irene unraveled her embrace, then looked at Ainsley. “I'm sorry, I'm mom. I can't take good care of myself”

Ainsley closed his eyes and the water droplets fell, nothing more painful than what his daughter was currently experiencing.

“Trust, Irene. Zean loves you, I've known him for a long time, Zean won't leave you” Ainsley said trying to convince her daughter.

Irene smiled wryly. “If he loves me, he will not likely marry another woman”

Irene was right, Ainsley's mind went wild thinking about everything possible. But he remained convinced, that Zean really sincerely loved his daughter.

“No,mom” cut Irene.

Ainsley flinched, waiting for Irene to continue her words.

“There is nothing to do because soon I will also marry” he continued.

Ainsley. Whahuh? What did Irene say? Be married?

“Are you crazy?” Ainsley asked trying to convince Irene.

Irene just shook her head in response.

“You are pregnant with Zean's child and you are going to marry another man?” Ask Ainsley again trying to be sure.

Irene laughed softly, her mother's question was as crazy as Zean impregnating Irene but she was married to another woman.

“Isn't that as crazy as Zean who haunts me but he married Rebecca Hillton instead?” Irene tries to wake her mother up that both things are just as crazy.

Ainsley chose silence, struggling with his thoughts. Irene was right, both of those things were equally crazy.

“Then who are you getting married to?” Ask Ainsley.

Irene lowered her head, she gulped with difficulty, this would definitely break her mother's heart if she said she was going to marry Kim, her own cousin. But isn't this the point of meeting Ainsley? Irene wanted to

sharing complaints with his mother, but still this will also hurt Ainsley.

“Irene” call Ainsley disperse Irene's mind.

Irene let out a slow breath and then ventured to look into her mother's eyes.

“I will marry Kim” he said by gathering a million courage to keep looking at his mother even though later it will definitely make him disappointed.

Ainsley smiled. “You're going to marry a Korean?”

“I will marry Kim Tae Young” explained Irene.

Ainsley shut his mouth in disbelief, this was just as crazy. How did Irene get married to Kim? Not likely.

“Don't joke, Irene” Ainsley was sure that her daughter was just joking. Since it was impossible for them to get married, they were cousins.

Irene looked into her mother's eyes, trying to convince her. “I'm serious,mom. Kim told Alice and Gerald that the child I bear was hers. Kim really is

crazy” is obviously Irene.

Ainsley decays, her body squeezes, which her daughter says is true it seems Kim has really gone crazy.

“This cannot happen. Mom will go to the Lorwerth Family, mom will fight Arzean for the child of your womb, Irene” said Ainsley, he does not want his daughter to have to experience difficult things like this. Ainsley felt he had to make amends for his past mistakes by choosing to leave Irene and make Irene have to go through difficult times like now.

Irene shook her head, not agreeing with her mother. Never mind, let it be like this, Irene was sure when Zean found out that he was going to marry Kim, Zean would definitely not do anything because it seemed like Zean was more

choosing Rebecca over Irene.

“I don't love Zean,mom. And this child I bear is my son, not Zean”'s son and Irene's.

“Don't be stupid, Irene. Mom will fight for anything for your happiness” said Ainsley then left.

“Mom!” call Irene, but Ainsley steps away.

See, with Irene telling her mom everything's getting harder. What Ainsley would do to her daughter. Can Ainsley save Irene this complicated thing?
