One last time - Chapter 287
“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.
“So you don’t want one?” Silvia asked.
Kevin shook his head and said, “I want one but-” Was it the best time to have a baby? With everything that was going on, Kevin didn’t want to welcome a new life in such a chaotic situation. He wanted to clean up everything and then live a peaceful and happy life with his wife and kid or kids may be.
Silvia smiled and nodded her head, “Let’s plan things accordingly then.”
“Or let’s not plan anything at all. I mean if the little one comes let it come. Let’s continue everything like we normally do okay?” Kevin asked.
Silvia smiled and nodded her head. She was already very satisfied with the pace and way their relationship was progressing and didn’t want to interrupt it. Kevin was right, the baby would come when it wanted to so there was no need to plan anything.
Looking at the watch, Silvia widened her eyes in shock. “Ahhh Kev it’s already 9:30, we have to go down for breakfast.”
Kevin groaned and shook his head. “I don’t wanna go.”
“Isn’t your cousin coming over with his wife and daughter? What is wrong with you Kev? We have to go.” Pushing him away, Silvia quickly got down from the bed.
“You care about someone whom you haven’t even met but you don’t care about your husband who loves you a lot and wants to do nothing but hug you for sometime?” Kevin asked.
Silvia chuckled and shook her head. “Your morning hugs always lead to something else and we don’t have time for that.”
Kevin puffed his cheeks and clumsily got down from the bed.
…..
Downstairs.
“Did you have a smooth flight?” Uncle Herpi asked Samuel who had just arrived along with his wife Clara and his three years old daughter Kathy.
Samuel nodded his head and smiled. “Yes uncle, the flight was alright.”
Samuel Wallis was aunt Morgana’s only son and the CEO of Wallis enterprise. He was a couple of years older than Kevin and had married his assistant Clara Winston. They had an adorable little daughter together whose name was Kathy.
“It’s nice to meet you again uncle.” Clara politely greeted uncle Herpi.
Uncle Herpi smiled and patted Clara’s head. “Ahh look at you, you have become more beautiful than the last time I saw you. No wonder Samuel is so fond of you.”
Clara smiled and said, “And uncle looks as young as ever.”
Uncle Herpi let out a hearty laugh. “Ahhh you don’t you flatter you old uncle.” Uncle Herpi was very fond of Clara because she was a really nice and understanding girl. Uncle Herpi never judged anyone through the background they came from so Clara’s simple family background never bothered him. He always wondered why his sister refused to acknowledge such a wonderful girl as her sister-in-law.
“Grandpa Austin.” Kathy shouted before rushing towards uncle Herpi.
Squatting down, Uncle Herpi scooped the little one his arms and gasped. “Oh you have grown big.
Booking her arms around her grandpa’s neck, Kathy giggled. “I drink milk every morning and night.”
“Ahhh that is good, our little angel is a good girl.” Uncle Herpi praised the little one earning a kiss from her.
Slipping down from father Herpi’s embrace, Kathy ran towards the kitchen shouting, “GRANDMA.”
Aunt Morgana who was standing not too far away from the kitchen door froze when she saw the little adorable thing running towards her with a gorgeous smile flashed on her face. This was the first time she was seeing her granddaughter and she realised that her granddaughter was much more beautiful than she had expected her to be.
Thinking that the little one was coming towards her, Aunt Morgana was about to smile when Kathy ran towards the kitchen door, brushing her shoulders against Aunt Morgana’s dress.
“Ahhh look who is here? Our little angel.” Aunt Julie smiled and quickly scooped her into her arms.
Hugging Aunt Julie’s neck, Kathy kissed her on her cheeks. “I missed you so much grandma.”
Aunt Morgana felt very sour and weird when she saw her granddaughter with Aunt Julie.
Suppressing her sourness, she started walking towards the living room to see her son.
When Samuel saw his mother, he narrowed his eyes and glared at her. He was about to say something when he felt a pair of soft hands in his arms.
Turning towards his wife when Samuel saw her shake her head, Samuel nodded his head and decided to ignore his mother. When uncle Herpi told him about his cousin’s wedding banquet, Samuel readily agreed to be part of it but when he heard that his mother would be there too, he didn’t want to go but for his uncle, aunt and cousins sake, he decided to bear with it.
Stopping right in front of her son whom she hadn’t seen for so many years, Aunt Morgana’s eyes teared up. “Sa-”
Cutting her off and ignoring her presence, Samuel asked uncle Herpi, “Uncle where is Kevin and sister-in-law?”
“Ahh they are upstairs in their room. I think they will come down soon.” Uncle Herpi said.
“I see, I badly want to see my sister-in-law. When Kevin called me a few days ago, he sounded so in love. I want to see what kind of woman made my cousin fall head over heels for her. In fact Clara is excited to meet her too. Right honey?” Samuel asked.
Clara smiled and nodded her head.
When Aunt Morgana heard a very familiar name she noticed the presence of a beautiful woman who was standing right beside her son with her arms wrapped around his.
Looking at her daughter-in-law whom she refused to acknowledge, aunt Morgana understood why Kathy was so beautiful. With her son’s and Clara’s genes together, Kathy was bound to be beautiful.
When Clara noticed aunt Morgana staring at her, she gave her a polite smile only to earn a frown from the other side.
