**When Time Tried to Heal Me But I Refused to Listen by Kael Niro Senn**
\n**Chapter 148: Hubby, I Was Wrong**<\/p>\n
Irene had entered the room with a hint of mischief dancing in her eyes, not truly expecting much from the moment. She simply wanted to poke a little fun at Gary, to lighten the heavy air that had settled between them. \u201cWell, looks like you\u2019re out of luck\u2026\u201d she teased, her tone playful as she tore open the sealed envelope containing the paternity test results.<\/p>\n
For a fleeting moment, silence enveloped them as she extracted the paper, her heart racing with anticipation. Then, with a sudden flick of her wrist, she tossed the document onto the table, the sound echoing like a thunderclap in the stillness of the room.<\/p>\n
Leaning heavily into Gary\u2019s arms, a wave of exhaustion washed over Irene, making her feel as if the weight of the world rested on her shoulders. Gary, sensing her fatigue, enveloped her in a warm embrace. \u201cDon\u2019t be upset,\u201d he murmured, his voice a soothing balm. \u201cWe\u2019ve searched for so many years. We\u2019ll keep looking. We will find her.\u201d<\/p>\n
But Irene froze, her heart skipping a beat as realization dawned on her. She sat up abruptly, as if jolted by an electric shock. Grabbing the paternity test results, her eyes bore into Gary\u2019s, searching for the truth. \u201cGary\u2026 are you messing with me?\u201d<\/p>\n
In a sudden surge of emotion, she slapped Gary across the face, the sound sharp and jarring.<\/p>\n
Gary sat there, momentarily stunned, his gaze locked on Irene, confusion etched across his features. \u201cWhat?\u201d he managed to utter, bewildered.<\/p>\n
Irene\u2019s breath came in quick, ragged gasps as she thrust the test results at him. \u201cIs this funny to you? Is this some kind of joke?\u201d Her voice trembled with anger and disbelief, each word laced with hurt.<\/p>\n
Gary, still reeling from the slap, looked genuinely perplexed. \u201cI didn\u2019t touch those results at all. You know I wouldn\u2019t\u2026\u201d His voice trailed off as he finally caught sight of the paper, his eyes widening in shock. \u201cWhere did you get this sample?\u201d<\/p>\n
Irene\u2019s expression morphed from anger to uncertainty as she met his gaze. \u201cYou swear you didn\u2019t tamper with it?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI didn\u2019t,\u201d Gary insisted, raising his hand in a gesture of sincerity, anxiety creeping into his voice. \u201cI swear, I\u2019d never joke about something like this\u2014unless I wanted you to break up with me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Irene narrowed her eyes, suspicion flickering in her mind. \u201cAre you saying you want to break up with me?\u201d<\/p>\n
With a helpless laugh, Gary shook his head. \u201cCome on, whose sample was it then? I really didn\u2019t touch a thing. According to this, this girl is your niece. She\u2019s your sister\u2019s daughter.\u201d<\/p>\n
Panic surged through Irene as she clutched the report again, her voice rough and trembling. \u201cShe\u2019s\u2026 it\u2019s Adriana, the girl Curtis married\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
Gary paused, a look of concern crossing his face. \u201cTake it slow. Are you sure there\u2019s no problem with the sample?\u201d<\/p>\n
Irene\u2019s eyes glistened with unshed tears as she shook her head, flustered. \u201cI pulled out some hair when she wasn\u2019t paying attention. I\u2026 I just thought she looked like my sister, so I took some hair\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
Immediately, Gary drew her into his arms, his embrace firm and reassuring. \u201cStay calm. Don\u2019t panic now. This isn\u2019t the time to lose it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Did I really find her after all these years? The thought echoed in Irene\u2019s mind, disbelief mingling with a flicker of hope. \u201cI need to see her,\u201d she declared, determination igniting within her as she sprang to her feet, intent on finding Adriana.<\/p>\n
\u201cIrene, you\u2019re not usually this impulsive. If that really is the girl, and you rush over now, you might scare her off. If Chandler really wants to hurt her, even you and Curtis might not be able to protect her. Sometimes, hidden threats are the hardest to guard against,\u201d Gary cautioned, his voice firm yet gentle as he tried to ground her.<\/p>\n
Irene\u2019s hands trembled, the realization of what was at stake sinking in.<\/p>\n
She had found her after all these years, a miracle wrapped in a twist of fate.<\/p>\n
And it had all happened by sheer accident.<\/p>\n
Years of searching, of collecting strands of hair from any girl who bore even the slightest resemblance to her sister, had finally borne fruit.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re right,\u201d she conceded, her voice quivering with emotion. \u201cWe still don\u2019t know who\u2019s pulling the strings behind the scenes, and that bastard Chandler hasn\u2019t been caught yet\u2026 I can\u2019t act rashly. I need to lay low for now.\u201d A laugh escaped her lips, bittersweet as tears streamed down her cheeks, mingling with her laughter.<\/p>\n
Her sister had been gone for so long, and now, she had finally found her daughter.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s Adriana. I can\u2019t believe it\u2019s really Adriana,\u201d Irene murmured, still grappling with the reality of the situation.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou could start by getting close to her. Take it slow,\u201d Gary suggested, his tone encouraging.<\/p>\n
Irene nodded vigorously, determination flooding her veins. \u201cYes, you\u2019re right. Hurry, help me check Adriana\u2019s recent schedule. Even if I can\u2019t tell her yet, I want to see her and protect her\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
A smile broke across Gary\u2019s face as he nodded. \u201cI\u2019ll get someone on it right away.\u201d<\/p>\n
In a moment of sheer gratitude, Irene threw herself into Gary\u2019s arms, hugging him tightly, her heart swelling with appreciation.<\/p>\n
Gary could only sigh, feeling a warmth he rarely experienced from Irene. This was one of those rare moments when she let her guard down.<\/p>\n
\u201cDidn\u2019t you say if this really is your niece, you\u2019d marry me? Does that still count?\u201d he asked with a teasing laugh, his eyes sparkling with mischief.<\/p>\n
Irene shot him a glare, still half-laughing, half-serious. \u201cYou\u2019re really sure you didn\u2019t tamper with the sample?\u201d<\/p>\n
Frustration flickered in Gary\u2019s eyes as he grumbled, \u201cGet off me. Don\u2019t hug me.\u201d<\/p>\n
But Irene clung to him stubbornly. \u201cHubby, I was wrong,\u201d she confessed, her voice softening.<\/p>\n
Gary froze, the weight of her words settling in. He knew she had a way of getting what she wanted, and he had little hope of escaping her grasp.<\/p>\n
Irene had always had a knack for bending him to her will.<\/p>\n
With a sudden burst of energy, Gary hoisted her up and tossed her onto the bed, pressing his lips against hers with a hunger that had been building for far too long.<\/p>\n
Only when Irene was breathless did he pull back slightly, his teeth gritting as he muttered, \u201cYou know I don\u2019t just want a nickname\u2014I want you to really marry me!\u201d<\/p>\n
The playful banter lingered in the air, a promise of the future intertwined with the challenges they still faced.<\/p>\n
In the aftermath of the revelation, a profound sense of relief and hope washed over Irene, transforming the heavy burden she had carried for years into a flicker of possibility. The discovery of Adriana was not merely a chance encounter; it was a culmination of love, loss, and relentless searching. As she stood there, enveloped in Gary\u2019s arms, the laughter and teasing that flowed between them signified a turning point in their relationship. Irene\u2019s admission, \u201cHubby, I was wrong,\u201d was a testament to her vulnerability, a moment where the walls she had built began to crumble. The playful banter that followed was not just a distraction from their tumultuous past, but a promise of a brighter future together, one where they could navigate the complexities of family, love, and protection side by side.<\/p>\n
Yet, the road ahead remained fraught with uncertainty. The looming threat of Chandler and the need for caution weighed heavily on Irene\u2019s heart, reminding her that while she had found Adriana, the journey to truly reunite with her niece would require patience and strategy. Gary\u2019s unwavering support grounded her, his playful insistence on commitment serving as a reminder that love could flourish even in the face of adversity. As they prepared to take the next steps together, Irene felt a renewed sense of purpose, her determination ignited not just by the prospect of finding Adriana, but by the bond she was forging with Gary. In that moment, laughter and love intertwined, illuminating the path ahead, where healing and hope awaited just beyond the horizon.<\/p>\n
