Michael didn't want Irene to be dispirited. He had to make her do his bidding somehow. So he instantly tried to encourage her, "I bet Theodore wouldn't mind a visit from you. Although I can't say the same things about myself."
Michael then sneakily tried to suggest that Irene should give a visit to their niece, "And I think Ariel would also be happy to meet her Aunty."
Irene gave a mirthless smile to Michael. Regret was hovering on her serene face. "I don't think we have the right to disturb Theodore and his family's peace after we abandoned him like that. We should have at least visited him once and comforted him after he was heartlessly thrown out of Heaven by our father."
She heaved a deep sigh and said in a sad whisper, "But we were too scared to do that. And now… it's too late to mend the broken ties."
