Kai and Irene finish their breakfast, Irene standup and collect the plates as the maid enters and said ma'am, you don't have to do it I will do it as this is my work Irene nodded and handed plates to the maid

Irene offered a small smile of gratitude to the maid, appreciating her kind gesture. "Thank you, Laura. I appreciate your help," she replied, her voice filled with sincerity. "Please let me know if there's anything else you need assistance with."Laura nodded and took the plates from Irene, her expression conveying a sense of understanding. "Of course, Irene. I'll take care of everything. If you need anything, don't hesitate to ask.".

Irene and Laura engaged in conversation, the sound of Kai's phone ringing pierced the air, interrupting their interaction. Both Irene and Laura turned their attention to Kai, watching as he reached for his phone and noticed that it was his father calling.

Kai's expression tightened, a mix of curiosity and concern crossing his face. Without a word, he answered the call and swiftly excused himself from the dining room, walking away to take the conversation in private.

Kai answered the call, his voice carried a mixture of curiosity and caution. "Hello, Dad," he greeted his father, his tone respectful yet guarded.

His father's voice came through the phone, warm and familiar. "Hello, son. How are you?" he asked, his concern evident in his words.

"I'm fine, Dad. What about you?" Kai responded, his voice calm and composed.

"I'm fine as well, son. I actually called to let you know that I have arranged a party for you and Irene as a wedding gift. It's tonight," his father informed him, a note of excitement underlying his words.

Kai's expression shifted, surprise mingling with a touch of apprehension. He hadn't expected such a gesture from his father, especially considering their strained relationship. The news of the party added another layer of complexity to their already challenging circumstances.

Thank you, Dad," Kai replied, his voice tinged with a mixture of gratitude and uncertainty. "That's very kind of you."

His father's response was filled with warmth. "You're welcome, son. I wanted to celebrate your marriage and offer my support. I hope it will be an opportunity for you and Irene to enjoy yourselves and strengthen your bond."

Kai's thoughts raced as he contemplated the upcoming party. He wondered how Irene would react to the news and how it might impact their fragile relationship. The prospect of attending a celebratory event together raised a mix of emotions within him—anticipation, hesitation, and a glimmer of hope.

"Thank you again, Dad," Kai reiterated, his voice reflecting a sense of appreciation. "I will discuss it with Irene and let you know."

As Kai stepped back into the dining room, he found Irene waiting, her eyes filled with curiosity. He took a deep breath, preparing to share the news of the party with her, aware that it would likely have an impact on their relationship and the path they were currently navigating.

With a calm yet hesitant voice, Kai approached Irene. "Irene, my father called. He has arranged a party for us as a wedding gift. It's tonight," he relayed, his eyes searching hers for a reaction.

"Really? A party?" Irene replied, her voice laced with a mix of surprise and curiosity. "That's unexpected. How do you feel about it?"

Kai took a moment to gather his thoughts, his gaze meeting Irene's. "I'm uncertain, to be honest. It's a generous gesture, but it also brings its own set of challenges. However, I believe it could be an opportunity for us to come together and find some common ground."

Irene nodded, understanding the complexities of the situation. "I agree.

Then Irene agrees to party then Kai said her be ready for the party, I am going for. The office for some time I will return at evening and ha one more thing I will send you an outfit for party so get ready he said in a cold voice Irene nodded.

Yes, sir. I will be ready for the party." Her voice held a hint of resignation, but she was determined to make the best of the situation and approach the event with an open mind.

Kai turned to leave for the office, his distant demeanor leaving Irene with a mix of emotions. She understood that he had his own reasons for behaving this way, but it didn't make it any easier to bear.
