2 days ago:

Maureen came to Stellen's house to meet aodhan Stellens mother, Aodhan was not happy seeing Maureen she became furious when she saw Anlon coming behind her, she just said “Mr Stewiss if you're here to speak about some business deal then better talk to my son about it in his office I never let my son mix his personal and private life and I will never let it also so please you can leave” Analon  smiled and replied” you are still the same and don't worry I came to meet you, and it is related to my children, I mean your best friend senan's children. I will come directly to the point I want your son Stellen to marry my daughter Cassidy” Aodhan was happy thinking that her son is going to marry her best friend's daughter but felt something suspicious that Analon who just thinks about business and his profit why would he want his daughter marry her son she asked him suspiciously “why do you want my son to marry your daughter if you are doing it for a business deal then I would never agree to it Mr Stewiss” analon just replied putting his down with guilt “I know It's too late for me to realize my mistake after Senan's death I never try spending time with them, I never thought I would be the only person this world who they can rely on I was so selfish that I immersed my into business due to which I forgot to go home for days I just don't wanted  to feel that senan is no more with me at that time, I never thought about them how they felt  and in what situation they were in when I got to know my children had to fight alone  against all the cunning people who tried to take their mother position and place in company, they fought  for their  rights after her mom due to which she  was never allowed to show her weak side  in front of them due to which she became cold. I agree I was never with her when she wanted me, after a year of senan's death I had to marry Maureen just to satisfy the board members, but this made me even more far from my children after this marriage my children left the house and went to country y and  didn't even come to meet me or anyone. Every time they come to the country, they stay in another house and never try to even contact us, at first I thought that they are angry they will cool down if I give them some time, but that is not the case. Now everyone in the company knows the anlon stewiss's daughter has reached marriage age, the cunning business partner are trying to approach her just for using her to gain shares of the company I don't want  senan to regret leaving our children in  my care. If your son can marry my daughter, I  know  your son can protect my daughter, and she will get the love what she lost after senan and hope she can forgive me some day” hearing that even Maureen felt pity for him but aodhan was still suspicious, so she replied “I will agree my son marrying your daughter, but I have few conditions after their marriage I don't want stellen to be known as your son-in-law to the outer world and even Cassidy can use her  identity as Stellan's wife but not analon's daughter for any reason I don't want this marriage be  related to your business in any way hope you get if you are ok with only then I will agree” analon didn't take anytime to think he immediately agreed to the conditions aodhan was shocked it was as if he very badly needed the help  he just said “I am happy you agreed speak to your son if he is also fine lets keep the marriage after two days” Maureen and aodhan were shocked Maureen asked” is it not too early ?” anlon replied smiling “don't worry this is my best decision I have ever taken” and was about to leave before that he turned and said to aodhan” and don't worry my daughter will never tell others that she is my daughter because she thinks it is a curse being my daughter and the condition what my daughter has put to agree this marriage that we can't tell about her life history to your family, but she didn't tell that you can't investigate if you want to know just investigate about her and if you want to know small basic things about her ask Maureen or her friends riyu and alyan they are most friendly compared to her other friends” he left after saying this aodhan was happy just by  knowing that her son was happy marrying senan's daughter whom she met when Cassidy was a kid and aodhan was just happy with this much of information she was not  curious or interested in any other information about Cassidy.
