One last time - Chapter 295

When Matt came out of Watson Enterprise, Kevin, Rocky and Chris had already arrived.

“Dude what took you so long?” Rocky asked.

“I was talking to dad about a thing.” Giving the three of them a meaningful glance, Matt nodded his head.

Understanding what he meant, Kevin, Rocky and Chris also nodded their heads.

“Honey what did you talk about?” Bella asked.

Matt shook his head and said, “Nothing so important, a few business talks. Hmmm why what happened? Do you want to tell me something?”

Bella vigorously shook her head and smiled.

“Alright, we should leave.” Glancing at his watch, Kevin wrapped his arms around Silvia’s shoulder and guided her towards the car.

“Kev what about Jeren, Steve and Amy?” Silvia asked.

Opening the car door for her, Kevin answered, “Lucifer will bring them there.”

“Hmmm so is Lucifer in charge of my sister now?” Silvia asked.

Helping her buckle her seat belt, Kevin nodded his head. “Yes, Jeren also needs someone by her side so I asked Lucifer to look after her.”

“But wasn’t Lucifer supposed to look after me?” Silvia asked.

Narrowing his eyes, Kevin glared at his wife. “Why do you need him to take care of you when you have me?”

Silvia pouted her lips and pretended to think. “Hmmm, didn’t you tell me that I should stay close to him and-”

“Hey that was when I was not here but it’s different now.” Kevin retorted.

Giving him a peck on his cheeks, Silvia chuckled. “I was just joking okay? Why would I want Lucifer? In fact, I don’t even like his name.”

…..

Lucifer was driving, Steve was sitting in the passenger seat with him while Jeren and Amy were sitting at the back seat.

“So he is going to stay with you always?” Amy asked.

Jeren shook her head and whispered, “I don’t know but he has been there since yesterday.”

“Hmm he is handsome though, how old is he?” Amy asked.

When Jeren shook her head Amy took her phone and messaged Steve.

“What are you doing?” Jeren whispered.

“Shhhh.”

Taking out his phone, Steve gave Amy a look and frowned.

Pointing her finger at Jeren, Amy smiled.

Steve nodded his head and turned towards Lucifer.

“No traffic today huh?” Steve asked.

Lucifer nodded his head and said, “The road is usually packed at this pack but I don’t know what happened today.”

“So what do you do? Study?” Steve asked.

“I work for your brother-in-law and I’ll be graduating this year.” Lucifer said.

“Ahh so you are a distance student. That is nice.” Keeping quiet for quite some time, Steve asked, “So how old are you?”

“Turned twenty-one last month.” Lucifer answered.

“Woahhh he is just twenty-one and you are eighteen. It’s perfect.” Amy excitedly whispered.

Jeren widened her eyes in shock and smacked Amy’s arm. “Have you gone crazy? I don’t even know him properly.”

“So even I did not know Steve when I first met him. Everything starts with being strangers.” Amy reasoned out.

“You are out of your mind Amy.” Jeren murmured.

Making a heart using her hands, Amy grinned.

Jeren sighed and helplessly shook her head.

…..

Jones mansion.

“Are you going there?” Grandma Jones asked.

Grandpa Jones nodded his head and sighed. “I will, I want to talk to Silvia and Jackson as well.”

Grandma Jones sighed and helplessly shook her head. “I don’t think so I’ll be able to face them.”

Placing his hand on his wife’s shoulder, Grandpa Jones sighed. “We were wrong but we can still fix everything.”

“I am sorry Jerry, you were dragged into this because of me.” Grandma Jones squeezed her husband’s hands and sobbed. If but for her then the Jones family would’ve never been involved in the mess. SPIRIT came into the Jones family with her and she had always felt guilt about it. Only if grandma Jones had met her husband before she took over SPIRIT. She would’ve never forced herself to be a part of something so dangerous and unruly.

When Grandma Jones was a part of Spirit, she tried to keep things neutral. She never took part in illegal businesses or dealings but her daughter turned out to be completely different from her. Who would’ve thought that things would turn out to be so ugly.

“No honey, it’s not your fault. I was the one who kept things away from you about Sabrina. It’s all my fault.” Grandpa Jones really regretted what he had done in the past. Only if he could go back and change everything.

“I wish I could meet Silvia once but that child has been through so much because of us. I don’t know how you face her.” Grandma Jones took a deep breath and helplessly shook her head.

Seeing his wife so sad and depressed, Grandpa Jones’ heart ached for her. Grandpa Jones had kept things away from his wife as well. He had helped Sabrina and George escape and had told his wife that they had met in an accident along with Silvia. Only recently did she find out about Silvia’s existence.

“Take some rest honey, I’ll be back after sometime.” Grandpa Jones caressed his wife’s back for sometime before walking out of the room.

…..

K&T stores.

“Ahhhh look who is here, it’s my boy gang.” Uncle Tammy excitedly exclaimed before rushing towards them.

When Silvia saw a middle-aged man dressed in a light pink suit paired with a darker shade of pink formal shoes, she pursed her lips and decided to hide behind Kevin. It was bad to laugh directly at someone’s face but Janet was not as well-behaved as Silvia.

“Pfttttt hahahah-” Janet covered her mouth to stop herself from laughing out loud.

“Kek-” Martha and Bella also covered their mouths to stop themselves.

The middle-aged man was not just wearing pink but his hair, his beard, his watch and his accessories were pink too. And he looked funny.

Clutching onto Kevin’s shirt, Silvia’s shoulders started shaking tremendously. Her face and ears turned red. And for a moment she couldn’t even breathe properly.
