One last time - Chapter 291

Samuel chuckled and helplessly shook his head. “No wonder uncle has that weird expression on.”

“What’s going on between father and Rocky’s dad?” Silvia was getting more curious about what had happened between them.

“I’ll tell you about it tonight okay babe?” Kevin said before giving her a quick peck on her cheeks.

Just then Samuel also gave Clara a peck on her cheeks. He then grinned and raised his eyebrows at Kevin, “Don’t forget now I have a wife too unlike the previous times. You can’t irritate me with your PDA anymore.”

Kevin widened his eyes in shock and glared at Samuel cursing him under his breath while Silvia raised her eyebrows and gave Kevin a ‘Seriously’ kind of look.

Samuel gasped and covered his mouth when he realised what he had said. Since this is the first time he was meeting Silvia, the PDA that he was talking about was definitely with someone else and everyone knew who that ‘someone else’ was.

“No no sister-in-law I did not mean that. Hahah stupid me, this PDA doesn’t mean public display of affection. This PDA means project….ummm…department….action. Yes project department action. It’s a business thing.” Samuel panicked, he didn’t want Silvia to get pissed. In fact he liked Silvia and hated Emily. He hated her even before Kevin and Emily broke up.

Gritting his teeth at his cousin who has surely ruined the romantic moment that was going on between them, Kevin snapped, “I think you should leave, I mean aren’t you getting late?”

Samuel vigorously nodded his head and left along with Clara in a hurry.

Looking at his wife who still had a frown on her face, Kevin gulped in nervousness. “Babe-”

But before he could say anything, uncle Herpi called go out, “Kevin, I’ll drop your mom first and then meet you directly in the office.”

Kevin nodded his head and asked, “When will we go to uncle Ceaser’s place?”

Uncle Herpi frowned and answered, “After that.” and left along with aunt Julie and Kathy.

Turning towards his wife who looked pissed, Kevin grabbed her hand and kissed it. “I swear it was nothing like I have with you now. In fact, I wasn’t like this back then. I was, you know, a bit reserved. I never did any PDA, okay maybe sometimes but that was only to tease Sam and other boys. But with you I feel like PDAing all day.”

“I am not angry, I am just jealous.” She hated whenever someone mentioned Emily’s ex. She was her husband’s ex and was still after him so how could Silvia even like her a little bit? And after what had happened a few days back, Silvia hated that woman even more. Though she knew it was normal for couples to be all touchy and cozy in public places too, she couldn’t and didn’t want to imagine Kevin and Emily like that. It made her jealous and also pissed her off.

“What? What is there to be jealous about? My wife is a hundred times more beautiful, loving and caring than anyone else. My Silvia is the best.” Kevin cheekily praised his wife.

Giving him a hug, Silvia pouted her lips and complained, ” I don’t like her.”

Kevin chuckled nodded his head, “Well, I don’t like her either. I just love my wife.”

…..

Bella and Matt’s place.

When Silvia arrived, Bella, Martha and Janet were talking about random things.

“There you are, I thought you are not coming.” Bella sighed said.

“I am so sorry, I got stuck somewhere.”

Janet chuckled and asked, “Got stuck where? Under Kevin or above Kevin?”

“Ahahahaha that was a good one Jan.” Martha couldn’t help but chuckle while praising Janet.

Silvia rolled her eyes and smacked her friend’s arm. “I was stuck in traffic so why are we here?”

Looking at Martha, Bella explained, “Martha wants to tell us something.”

“What is it Martha?” Silvia asked.

Martha sighed and took a deep breath. “Okay so yesterday Chris and I had gone out for dinner and when I was using the washroom, I bumped into someone.”

“Who?” Janet asked.

“Chris’ mother.” Taking out a photograph from her bag of a young man and woman, Martha placed it on the table for the other three to see.

Silvia frowned and asked, “Didn’t his parents die when Chris was very young?”

“They disappeared and couldn’t be found so there is no evidence whether they died or not.” Martha explained.

“How did you know? I mean-”

“Yesterday after coming back, I couldn’t stop thinking about that woman. She resembled Chris a lot and I was dying out of curiosity. All I wanted to do was confirm whether what I am thinking is just a misunderstanding or the truth. So I called my brother and asked him to look for a picture of Chris’ parents and he sent me this. That woman looks exactly like the woman in this picture.” Martha explained.

“How is that possible? If his mother is alive then why hasn’t she contacted him?” Bella asked.

“That woman I met yesterday is also a part of SPIRIT.” Martha added.

Silvia frowned and murmured, ” SPIRIT?”

“Yes, she told me this. In fact, she was there to warn me. She wanted me to force Chris to back off and stay away from whatever is going on.” Martha recalled everything that happened yesterday.

“This is strange, if she is a part of SPIRIT then isn’t she an enemy too? Why would she do that?” Janet asked.

“Are you sure the woman is Chris’ mom?” Silvia asked.

“Did you check the CCTV footage?” Bella asked.

Martha shook her head and added, “Chris said that he couldn’t find one.”

Bella thought for a while and got up. “Alright let’s leave, I know someone who can help us with us.”

“Who?” Janet asked.

“My dad and I bet he also knows a thing or two about SPIRIT so we can ask him about it too.” Bella suggested.

“Your dad-I mean-”

Cutting Martha off, Bella said, “My dad has many connections so don’t worry about that. There is nothing that he doesn’t know.” Bella explained.
