Chapter 351: Our family

Seeing Emily crying nonstop in the scare Oliver might not like to marry her anymore, Saira didn't have the heart to rub salt over her wound. She coaxed her to sleep saying she should take time and talk to Oliver.

When she was leaving the Parker family, she met Abel again. He again reassured her, not to worry about anything and he will handle everything.

Saira was overwhelmed by how Abel was treating her like a treasure just like Emily always told how Oliver treats her. She hadn't talked much and left with lots of things messed in her mind.

The same day evening Oliver's friends had asked if she had gone to Oliver's room the previous night, she had declined it without knowing the reason.

The next day, Abel had taken his mother and father to her family and everything was decided on the same day about marriage. She was very happy with the arrangements but that evening she got to know Emily and Oliver registered their marriage. Somehow she started to compare everything she had with everything Emily had. She had thought Emily might suffer in the Cooper family but the Skyline just grew bigger and bigger while Abel started to ruin the Parker family business...

It was the day before Emily lost her life, Saira asked, "Emily, who was the one who you spent the night with on your engagement?"

Emily chuckled weakly hearing her, "Didn't I tell you before? I thought only you knew. It's Oliv. My stupid husband doesn't even know it was me. I bullied him a lot. I should tell him the truth."

She had just finished saying, they heard a little adorable voice from the side, "Momma, Dad is not stupid. He knows to cut apples for you. What does bully mean?"

The little boy next to her pulled her pigtail and giggled, "This is called bullying."

While the kids continued to squabble, Saira's hidden thoughts of Oliver got stronger and stronger.

That was when she started planning to get Oliver. When he didn't agree for a second marriage, she wanted Skyline.

She had tried differently many times but failed many times. She had even thought to sleep with him but Oliver had left drinking the day he thought he had a one night stand.

-- Present --

Aria asked, "But Dad was the one who taught me wine etiquette and he drank with me."

Saira weakly smiled, "Because it's you."

Alan hummed next to Aria, "Dad drank juice in my congratulatory banquet and nobody over there probed either. It was like everyone knew."

Aria's one of the doubts was resolved so she asked her main question, "So the police report saying Dad must be drunk so the car was swaying is a lie. There must be something in his coffee or..."

"Tampered AC in the car." She turned to Alan who finished her words

Aria nodded and turned to Calvin who gave it a thought and responded, "We didn't drink coffee. We had ordered it but I was angry so I didn't touch it while Uncle Oliver had many thoughts and was thinking about you so he didn't touch either."

Basically, Oliver never hid anything from anyone and he himself didn't know his one-night stand was his wife.

All turned to Saira who was wincing in pain. She forced a fake smile, "Didn't you two solve yourself? Why do you want confirmation from me?"

Saira coughed hard pressing her back as she spoke, "A poison which would dissolve in water was breathed in by Oliver. His car trampled over and finally, the truck pushed his car to the water... You know, I actually didn't love Oliver. I was just obsessed with his looks and then his money. I didn't feel the tinge of pain when he died."

Aria's eyes involuntarily filled up hearing her talk as if Oliver's life was just a toy. Calvin, Abel, and Kite looked at Saira in shock, they didn't know her at all. They realized she was pretending her virtuous side all her life.

Alan arms tightened around Aria as he asked, "What about Morse?"

Calvin spoke, "What about Kite? Who is…"

Aria suddenly turned to Calvin and cued him not to speak. She didn't want Kite who had just collected herself to fall into despair or Abel to fret his frustration over Kite. If Kite was actually the daughter of Morse and if it confirms, they could reveal it to her so that she chooses her life. Aria didn't feel the time was right for that topic.

Calvin stopped speaking looking at Aria. He saw her cue to see Abel trembling in rage.

Kite asked, "What about me?"

Calvin quickly changed, "What about Kite and me? Didn't you think about us?"

"How do you know Morse that you have his card?"

Saira was drenched in sweat due to the pain. She couldn't keep herself up and fainted for real.

"You bitch, how dare you to act again?" Abel raised his hand to slap Saira but Aria held him back. "She isn't acting."

Alan's men quickly carried Saira out while he said, "She will get her treatment and about imprisonment, I will decide on it."

Another man took the satellite phone and their laptop away.

Aria turned to Kite, "Sister Kite, take care of Uncle Abel. I will contact you guys once everything is set." Kite nodded and took Abel upstairs who had shot his blood pressure high. 

Calvin sighed and leaned back to take a breather but Aria pulled his hair. "How dare you bully me when I saw so little?"

Alan: "..."

Calvin was feeling down but he wasn't prepared for it. Aria was relieved bringing the buried truths out. So it unknowingly brought a smile on Calvin's face but he apologized, "I'm sorry about all these."

Alan led her out hearing her say, "If I get a nephew or niece, I will forgive you."

Rachelle who was quiet as a mouse the whole time blushed hearing Aria. Calvin was partly glad it was resolved and Aria doesn't blame him anymore for anything.

"You are married for three years. Where is my nephew or niece or both?"

Aria used his line back on him, "Am I not a tiny packet? And you guys have been in love for nine years. You guys first."

Calvin just smiled and stood at his place while Alan drove the car away. Rachelle rubbed his back, "Are you alright?"

Calvin sighed hearing that. He didn't know what he was feeling. He didn't know whether he should be happy for bringing the truth out or seeing his mother's true nature, "I don't know. I should be happy for Aria but the one who created all this is my own mother. I always thought Dad wasn't reliable but he really loved Mom… (Sigh) Shall we stay back here for some days to look after Dad and grandfather?"

Rachelle saw him down with conflict in thoughts. She embraced him and said gently to soothe his heart, "This is our family Calvin. We have to take care of everyone."
