One last time - Chapter 286

While narrating the entire encounter, Martha purposely skipped the similarity that she noticed between Chris and that woman because it was a big thing and Martha wasn’t even sure whether she had seen things right or not. She wanted to confirm everything and then talk to him about it.

Chris frowned and started examining her body. “Are you fine? Did she-”

“She did not even touch me so relax.” Martha assured him and placed her head on his shoulder.

“No going to washrooms alone in the future. I’ll accompany you.” Though there were many guards around her all the time, Chris still never felt at peace until she was with him.

Martha chuckled and asked, “Will you enter the ladies washroom for me?”

Chris vigorously nodded his head making the latter raise her eyebrows. “Seriously Chris? Don’t you care about your reputation at all?”

“I just care about you.” Giving her a peck on her cheeks, Chris intertwined their hands together.

Unbuckling her seat belt, Martha took off her shoes and pounced into his embrace.

Snuggling in his lap, Martha buried her head on his chest. “I hate it when people threaten me.”

Tightening his grip around her, Chris sighed. “Hmm, I’ll take care of it.”

Martha shook her head and cupped his face. “No Chris I don’t want you to deal with this alone. We are doing this together no matter what happens.”

When Chris did not say anything, Martha added, “Appointing extra bodyguards for me is useless until I am also cautious about the things happening around me. And I’ll be cautious only if you tell me what is happening in detail.”

Chris took a deep breath and asked, “Okay, what do you want to know?”

“Everything.”

…..

Janet’s and Rocky’s place.

“Why would you want to meet her?” Janet fronwed and asked.

Matthew sighed and tried to convince his sister and change her perspective about their mother, Aurora. “Jan sometimes things aren’t the way you see them. Sometimes it’s different and totally different from what you had expected it to be.”

“She is exactly how I think she is, selfish and full of herself. All she cares about is her cunning husband.” Janet yelled. She hated how her mother never stood up for them. She hated how as a mother, she never supported them and allowed their father to torture and ill treat them. Instead of stopping her husband and protecting her kids, she chose to stay shut and follow her husband’s instructions. For Janet, Aurora and Sabrina were the same.

Matthew sighed and helplessly shook his head. He wanted to tell Janet the truth but Aurora had asked him not to because that would hinder the plans she had to take Andrew down. Matthew still decided to give Janet a few hints which did not go well. He didn’t like how Janet looked down on their mother though he did not blame Janet because under the current circ.u.mstances, it was obvious for Janet to hate Aurora because she did not know how their mother had always secretly helped and protected them.

Placing his hand on Janet’s shoulder, Rocky tried to calm her down. “Honey, calm down and listen to brother Matthew first.”

“You know what, I don’t want to talk about it.” Janet said before walking towards her room.

“Jan-”

“She’ll be okay by morning. You should go and take some rest, I’ll talk to her.” Rocky assured Matthew.

Matthew nodded his head and left.

…..

Next morning.

Austin mansion.

When Silvia woke up, Kevin was still sleeping with his arms protectively wrapped around her.

Silvia smiled and snuggled closer before giving him a peck on his lips.

With his eyes still closed, Kevin smiled. “Such a lovely morning kiss to begin my morning with.”

“You were awake.”

Slowly opening his eyes, Kevin buried his head on her neck. “Hmmm Good morning Mrs Austin. Can I know the reason behind that early morning kiss?”

“No reason, I just thought that you deserve the kiss.” Silvia cheekily smiled and kissed him on his lips again.

Kevin smiled and pulled her closer. “Your mood is quite good today.”

“I am always in a very good mood.” Silvia snapped.

“Hmm, your mood is extra good today. Any good reason? Something that you are thinking and I don’t know?” Kevin asked.

Silvia smiled and said, “I saw a very beautiful dream.”

Kevin smiled and asked, “Beautiful dream? Did you see me n.a.k.e.d?”

Silvia chuckled and helplessly shook her head, “I can you see you n.a.k.e.d anytime and anywhere I want. It’s my right and I don’t have to rely on my dreams for that.”

“Yeah that is true. You just have to tell me and then I’ll strip myself n.a.k.e.d anytime, anywhere you want.” Kevin shameless said.

Running her finger through his chest, Silvia smiled, “I’ll keep that in mind my stripper.”

“Okay so what did you dream about?” Kevin asked.

Silvia smiled and started telling Kevin about her dream. “I saw you, me and our little baby who looked just like you chilling on the beach. Our little one was busy building his sand castle while we were helping him. We looked so perfect and beautiful together.” It was the best dream Silvia has ever had. Though they had no plans of having one but the thought about having one made Silvia feel happy.

Supporting his head with his elbow, Kevin asked, “Do you want one?”

“What?” Silvia asked.

“A baby, do you want to have a baby?” Kevin asked.

Silvia thought for awhile and answered, ” Well, I don’t know and it’s not about whether I want one or not. It should come from both of us. So the question should be, do we want to have a baby?”

Hugging her tighter, Kevin sighed, “I don’t know, I don’t think so I am ready to share you with anyone. I want to keep you all by myself. No sharing my beautiful wife.”

Silvia chuckled and smacked his arm, “Hey, don’t be so stingy. The baby will be a part of both of us and it will belong to us.”

“But still, it will definitely take away half of your time, love and attention. I don’t want to get ignored and helplessly watch the baby take you away from me.” Kevin pouted his lips and complained.
