One last time - Chapter 280

When aunt Morgana did not say anything, Aunt Julie smiled. “Or is it because your daughter-in-law is not as beautiful as Silvia? Oh wait a second, do you even know what your daughter-in-law looks like? Well, I don’t think so.”

Aunt Morgana narrowed her eyes but couldn’t say anything.

Aunt Julie chuckled and helplessly shook her head. “You know what Morgana? You shouldn’t bitch about others when there are actually more than a hundred reasons that someone can use to shut you up.”

Aunt Morgana clenched her hand into a fist but chose not to say anything because she knew aunt Julie wasn’t someone she could mess with. Not only was aunt Julie fierce and a cunning woman but she also had uncle Herpi wrapped around her pinky. Though he was aunt Morgana’s biological brother but she knew how scared uncle Herpi was off his wife.

“Morgana though you are my Herpi’s sister, I have never liked you and you know that very well. If not for Herpi’s sake, I would’ve never even allowed you to step into my house. But since you are already here, let me warn you for the last time. You slandered my daughter last time and I tolerated it because Herpi stopped me but this time, if you create any kind of trouble for her then trust me when I say that I will ask my guards to throw you out of my house along with your things and your stupid guest. This house belongs to Silvia as well and I don’t want my daughter to feel uncomfortable because of you or anyone. And no one better than you knows this that I can really throw you out without any hesitation. So be good and behave like a grown up civilised lady. Eat what is served and drag your ass to your room and sleep.” Aunt Julie continued to work on her cake after threatening Aunt Morgana.

Aunt Morgana pursed her lips and left without saying anything.

….

Jones mansion.

“How could you forget our daughters birthday?” Sabrina shouted at George.

George frowned and narrowed his eyes. “Is it my fault? Aren’t you also supposed to remember our daughters birthday? How is it just my fault?”

“There are so many things I have to deal with George. Can I not expect you to not make things more difficult for me? You know what my plans were but now everything is ruined. Jeren doesn’t even want to see our face let alone coming back to us. She hates us and I could see it in her eyes. Now how am I supposed to ask her to take part in the competition and replace Silvia?” Sabrina shouted before slamming her hand on the table.

After thinking and sorting things out, Sabrina had decided to replace Silvia with Jeren because she thought Jeren would be easier to deal with rather than her elder daughter who was stubborn and also hated her.

George frowned and snapped, “I told you this before that Jeren is too small for this. She just turned eighteen. I don’t want to involve her in all of this. I already half heartedly gave up my elder daughter for your sake and I don’t want to give up my second daughter as well.”

Several years ago when Sabrina proposed the idea of running away and saving their unborn child while leaving their elder daughter behind, George initially rejected the idea but later when Sabrina asked him to think about it and reasoned things out, George reluctantly agreed and decided to give up his first daughter and take care of the new life that was yet to be born. But now when Silvia’s life was already at stake and there was nothing that he could do to save her because he was powerless, he didn’t wish to push his other daughter to the mess as well.

Sabrina frowned and gritted her teeth. “Do you think I have a choice? We will lose out if we give up.”

“We can lead a simple life like we have been doing all these years. We can still go back and-”

Cutting him off, Sabrina shouted, “Going back? Have you gone crazy George? How can we go back? I have already involved myself in all of this and there is no way I am going back.”

When George did not say anything, Sabrina added, “All I have to do is kick that Austin guy out because he is the one protecting both Silvia and Jeren. With him gone, it will be easy to manipulate at least one of them to follow my orders.”

“Why would you do that? Can’t you see how happy Silvia is with him? Look Sabrina we have really failed as parents for both our daughters especially Silvia. And now that she is happy and is also living a blissful life, why would you want to destroy it? Doesn’t it ease your guilt a little bit when you see her happy with her husband?” Geogre asked.

Sabrina mocking laughed and asked, “Do you even love me anymore George?”

George took a deep breath and sighed, “I wouldn’t be here supporting you even though we both know that whatever you are doing is wrong if I didn’t love you.”

Sabrina was about to say something when a maid knocked at their door.

“Come in.” George shouted.

“Young madam, the eldest master is here and wishes to see you.”

“Ask him to wait.”

…..

Austin mansion.

Aunt Julie rushed out of the kitchen when someone told her that Kevin and Silvia he arrived.

Taking off her apron when Aunt Julie stepped into the living room, she frowned when she saw her kids who had just arrived arguing amongst themselves.

“Cute name.” Silvia shouted.

Kevin helplessly shook his head and sighed, “No babe, a tough and more manly name for a boy and a cute name for the girl.”

Silvia frowned and vigorously shook her head. “No Kev, a cute name.”

“Babe-”

“What is happening here?” Interrupting them, Aunt Julie asked.

Silvia rushed towards Aunt Julie and complained, “Mom Kevin doesn’t want to give our son a cute name. He wants him to have a manly and tough name.”

“Well mom don’t you think a boy should have a tough and manly name? A girl can have a cute one.” Kevin tried to defend himself.

Aunt Julie widened her eyes in shock and asked excitedly, “Wait what? Are you pregnant honey?”

Silvia and Kevin shook their heads and snapped, “No we aren’t.”

Aunt Julie frowned and yelled, “Then what are you both fighting for?”

Kevin: -_-

Silvia: *_*
