One last time - Chapter 304

Placing her hand on her chest, Clara sighed. “Oh my God, Kevin is such a lovely husband.”

“I know right? You should’ve seen his lovely and romantic proposal.” Martha added.

Janet sighed and added. “Yeah lol I was awestruck after that.”

Bella chuckled and excitedly said, “This is so beautiful, awww I wish someone would do that for me.”

Matt frowned and pursed his lips. What did she mean by someone? That someone should definitely be him right?

Seeing the frown in Matt’s face, Chris chuckled. “It’s okay man, take a chill. We have been facing this for a very long time.”

“Yeah, Kevin keeps raising your woman’s expectations and you have to somehow try to do something even better.” Rocky added.

“Honey, do you want a good massage too?” Samuel asked.

Clara shook her head and chuckled. “No honey, I am okay. I’ll go and look for Kathy.”

…..

Wearing a beautiful pink gown, Kathy was loitering around the dessert section thinking what she should eat first.

“What are you doing here alone?” Aunt Morgana asked the little one.

When Kathy did not say anything, Aunt Morgana rushed towards her and squatted down. “Where is your mommy? And why are you alone? What if you get lost? Why did you leave your parents?”

Lowering her head, Kathy pouted her lips. “I wanted to eat some sweets but mommy won’t let me have some before dinner so I sneaked out.”

Aunt Morgana frowned and started scolding the little one. “You shouldn’t do that. There are so many people here and it’s a new place too, what if you get lost?”

“I am sorry.”

Grabbing her hand, Aunt Morgana guided her towards the dessert section. “What do you want to eat?”

Kathy’s place bloomed into a bright smile. Pointing towards the chocolate pastry, she let out a chuckle.

Asking the waiter for a slice, Aunt Morgana settled down on a table along with Kathy.

When Kathy did not eat the pastry, aunt Morgana asked, “What happened?”

“Grandma you will not tell mommy right?” Kathy asked.

When aunt Morgana shook her head, Kathy clapped her hands in excitement. “Grandma is the best.”

Aunt Morgana smiled and gestured her to start eating.

Scooping a small piece when Kathy stretched her hands towards her grandma to feed her, aunt Morgana froze.

Thinking for a couple of seconds, she lowered her head, taking the tiny piece inside her mouth.

When the sweetness of the pastry exploded inside her mouth, aunt Morgana smiled. That was the sweetest pastry she had ever had.

“Grandma, are you the grandma who is angry with me?” Kathy asked.

Aunt Morgana frowned and asked, “Who told you that?”

Shoving a big piece inside her mouth, Kathy added, “Mom told me that my grandma is angry with mom and me.”

Aunt Morgana pursed her lips and asked, “And did she tell you why?”

Kathy vigorously nodded her head. “YES.”

“What did she tell you?”

Thinking for a while, Kathy answered, “Because mom and dad got married without grandma’s permission which is bad.”

“But why does grandma hate you? Did your mom tell you anything about that?” Aunt Morgana asked.

Kathy shook her head and said, “No, mom did not say anything. She says that grandpa doesn’t hate me but she is just angry but I think she hates me because she never visits me.”

Aunt Morgana pursed her lips and sighed. “Eat, do you want anything else?”

Kathy shook her head and started devouring her pastry.

Clara, who had been watching them from a distance, smiled when she saw them happily talking to each other.

She always blamed herself for creating a difference between the mother and son pair. She never wanted them to separate in fact, she wanted everyone to stay happily but no matter how much she tried, Samuel’s mother refused to accept her. But she still had hope that one day, maybe one day she would accept her wholeheartedly.

Just then Samuel arrived and asked, “Babe where is Kathy?”

Following Clara’s gaze, Samuel frowned when he saw his mother and daughter together.

Taking a deep breath, he was about to rush over when Clara grabbed his arm and stopped him.

Samuel shook his head and said, “Anything but not this.”

Slowly removing his wife’s hand, Samuel rushed over to take his daughter away from the woman who refused to accept not only his wife but also his little daughter. Samuel would never forget the time when Aunt Morgana refused to even look at his first born child just because it wasn’t a boy. From that onwards, he took a pledge never to forgive her and keep his family away from her.

Squatting down beside his daughter, Samuel asked, “What are you doing here honey? Your mom is looking for you everywhere.”

“I am eating a pastry daddy with grandma.” Kathy said.

“Hmm finished eating?” Samuel asked.

When Kathy nodded her head, Samuel helped his daughter wipe her mouth and scooped her into his arms.

Aunt Morgana quickly got up and called him out. “Sam I-”

Cutting her off, Samuel warned her. “Stay away from my daughter and my family.”

Aunt Morgana pursed her lips and could only helplessly watch her son leave along with his daughter.

…..

“Better?” Kevin asked.

Silvia smiled and nodded her head. She always felt a hundred times better when he gave her his special massage.

“Why don’t you go and greet the guests and I’ll just sit for a while before joining you?” Silvia asked.

Helping her put on her heels again, Kevin nodded his head. “I’ll greet a few of them and then come back.”

When Silvia nodded her head, Kevin kissed her forehead and left.

“He seems to treat you really very well.” Grandpa Jones said.

Silvia smiled and nodded her head. “Yeah he does.”

“Can I sit and talk to you for a while?” Grandpa Jones asked.

When Silvia contemplated for a while, grandpa Jones added, “Don’t worry, it’s nothing inappropriate. Just a normal grandpa granddaughter talks.”
