"Shouldn't I be praised for this? Afterall it was my decision to being Samira here." Raymond who was also standing beside him asked.

"You are right, you should be praised too. *Tip toes* Good work father, I am proud of you." Irene said as she patted his shoulders.

.

"Thank you so much for the praise and if my daughter wants I can find one for you too." 

"Thanks for the offer but I would reject it, because unlike Ash I have too many friends and-- I just remembered that we made a plan to meet up after coming out." Irene said as she clapped her hands.

.

"Are you taking about the ladies you meet at the palace?" 

"Yes, I am taking about them. They are all kind and good and they helped me a lot diurnal my stay there." Irene said as she looked at the sky.

.

"Well if it's like that then you should surely hang out with them and treat them nicely. Hwo about you hold a tea party?" Raymond suggested as he looked at Irene.

"A tea Party....I must think about it...but beife that I should sent them a letter and know about their schedules." Irene said as she crossed her arms and smiled looking at Ash and Sma bickering around.

.

"(Looking at them really brings back some good old memories...although they were pretty much fake...)" Irene thought as she took a deep breath.

.

"Sister, Father what are you doing here?" Ash who saw them standing there like a staute asked as he pulled Sam along side him.

"Good Evening, Lord Winter and Lady Winter." Sam said as she bowed with a awkward smile.

.

"We were out for some fresh air, anyway you guys should head inside now and freshen up." Raymond said as he smiled towards them.

"We were about to go anyway." Ash said as he let of Sam's hand.

.

"Don't run away and behave well. Remmber I am your Big Boss." Ash said as he flicked her forhead and ran away.

"Ashton! This boy! How can he treat such a lady so harshly." Raymond said as he shook his head whereas Irene giggled looking at their cute actions.

.

"Father let him be, and Lady Maxim I hope you won't mind his actions just now...you see everytime he gets comfortable with people he would keep playing tricks in them." Irene said as she kneeled down and touched the flicked area which was red but not swollen and it didn't look like she was in pain either.

.

"I understand and thanks to his beatings, I feel as if like my forehead is going to turn as hard as rock. Then ease excuse me." She said and ran away like a rabbit as she suddenly felt the cringe all over her body.

.

"Okay, see you at dinner then." 

"Sure, see you at dinner." She shouted while her image slowly become distant.

.

"She is so cute and innocent." Irene complimented her as she looked at Raymond who aggred with her.

"True, she really got that form her mother. You know her father is rather shy but her mother is all talkative and jolly. Too sad that she didn't stay in her life for long." Raymond said as he walked towards the mansion along with Irene.

.

"Pardon?"

"Oh, you probably don't know but her mother died due to some unknown diseases Samira was just 4 year's old and more painfully she died right before her eyes which shocked her to the point that for a whole year she didn't utter a word." 

"That's so sad and unbelievable...Lady Maxim someone so happy and young went through something so cruel....even thinking about it breaks my heart." Irene said as she let go a breath.

.

"That's what most important thing about her because no matter how bad the situation is sje always get back on her tracks. She is someone full positive energy and jollyiness..."

"Which Ash needs the most at my absence to balance his thoughts." Irene said as she took her steps towards the stairways.

.

"My daughter is too smart for her own Good. Anyway, I want Samira to have ther best time here that child is too special so I wish that you can take her under your wing and male her more aware of today's world. She didn't have a mother figure so I wish and hope that you could become one for her." Raymond said as he stood her hair as Irene stopped on her tracks.

.

"But father being a mother figure is a big thing...do you really think I can do that? Aren't you afraid of her hating me or becoming sacred of me for taking someone's else place?" 

"First, you have already become a mother figure for Ash and see how well he has grown up under your guidance and second I didn't ask you to take her mother's palce in fact I want you to make a place for yourself inside that heart of hers." 

.

"...I understan...but I don't think it would easy for her and me to get where father wants us too. As mother is something too special for anyone and when it was Ash things were different after all he was brother and we are connected through sentiments...but with Lady Maxim...we aren't that close...but still to make up for her past I will try my level best." Irene said as she smiled while looking at their family picture located at the middle of the hall.

.

"Now that's like my daughter." Raymond said while prasing Irene with a shoulder pat.

.

"So warm..." Sam said as she looked at their sweet family moment form a corner. 

"I know right." Ash who was behind him said and almost gave Sam a mini heart attack.

.

"Ashton!!! Why do you always appear out of thin air and how many times do I have to tell younmot to scare me like that! I have a weak heart..." Sam who was afraid of getting caught said as she hit Ash in the shoulder several times.

.

"Ouch! Ahh! Ouch!! I am sorry I was in the wrong okay! Now stop hititng me." He said as he massaged his left arm.

"You deserve it! Because of you and your childish acts I always end up in embrassing situations!" She whispered shouted in his ears before walking away from there. 

.

"Really? And what about the time you act all clingy? The times whe you get glued to me and do not let go?" Ash said as he tapped on his legs which made her more angry so she at the end angrily and intentionally stomped at his foot.

.

"Ouch!! You! Now what was that for?" Ash asked as he walked towards doing tiny hop.

"You really don't understand girls." Was the only thing she said and it was enough for Ash to feel all hated up inside.

.

"How could you say that I don't understand girls? When I have been living with my sister ever since I was born and I know almost everything about her, I can guess wht she is thinking and what she will do next without even talking it loud and you are saying I don't understand girls!" 

.

"I said girls not sister and that is what surprises me the most because eveb after being around someone like Lady witner how could you still be so slow! Ha, I don't want to imagine the mindset she must have when she teaches you. I really feel pity for her." Sam said as she looked at ash face without looking what's before her.

.

"Careful!" Ash said as he pulled her back and they ended up in a warm hug like situation.

"Hey! What are you trying to do?" She said struggling to get out of his grips.

.

"Don't fool around and look where you are walking or else you would really end up in bad ways." Ash scolded her as he explained the whole situation as how she was about to walk and bump into the pillar.

.

"So that's what happend you could have just said so why perform such a romantic performance?" She said as she combed her hair and got ready to move towards another venue.

.

"You are right but at that moment my body moved on its own, so don't blame me it won't bring out anything." Ash said as they both kept bickering until and unless they reached the hall where Irene and Raymond were already standing there and enjoying there sweet bickering.

.

"Okay Okay, both of you stop fighting now and come here." Irene said as she patted towards the seat beside her.

"Sister, good evening."

"Lady Winter Good Evening." 

.

"Enough of the gretting kids you ran around for long. So, now just sit here and have some light snacks." Raymond said as he clapped his hands

and the maids entered the room with some glass full of furit juice with beautiful colours and some light snacks which are perfect for a summer evening. 

.

"Wow! Today the snacks and design seem a little different.." Irene said as she looked at the maids who had a smile on their faces while serving them.
