Chapter 170 - Insecurities

Silvia and Kevin's apartment.

" So how is it going?" Silvia asked.

" What?" Kevin asked.

" I am asking about your new work." Silvia said. 

" It's okay and it's only been two days so it's light now." Kevin said.

Snuggling closer, Silvia said," I read about your company on the Internet. It's such a huge one with so many subsidiaries and employees working under it. Don't tire yourself too much. I know work is important but health is the most important thing."

Kevin smiled and said," Firstly, it's our company. Secondly, aren't you there to check on me so that I don't overwork?"

Silvia nodded her head and said," Yes, I will be there, always."

Pausing for a while, Silvia asked," You don't want to know what your ex and I were talking about?"

Pinning her down, Kevin said," Does it matter? And all I heard was you and I are busy making babies."

Running her fingers through his collar, Silvia said," She told me that her husband is an employee in your company and you gave him a really hard time on your first day."

" So what does the lady boss think? Did I or did I not?" Kevin asked wanting to know what was really going on her mind.

Silvia pouted her lips and said," Don't get me wrong but I am sure that you are not the kind of person who would do such a thing. As far as I have known you, I know that you would never mix up your professional and personal life but-"

Cutting her off, Kevin said," But somewhere you also feel that may be I did right?"

When Silvia shook and nodded her head at the same time, Kevin asked," Do you still feel that I am not completely over Emily?"

" You both dated for four long years and you've known each other since a really long time so I don't know. She did spend time with you much more than I did so as a wife I have my insecurities okay? And when I see that she is still trying to cling onto you, it makes me feel more insecure." Silvia said honestly.

When Kevin did not say anything for a really long time, Silvia thought that he might have misunderstood so she quickly said," It's not like I am doubting your love okay? I know you love me and I love you too but I just feel insecure sometimes." 

Yes, she didn't doubt Kevin's love but since Emily and Kevin had a long history together, she sometimes felt insecure, which is completely normal. Isn't it normal for anyone to feel insecure towards their partners ex?

Flipping to the other side, Kevin sighed and said," I am sorry for making you feel like that." 

Turning towards him, Silvia shook her head and said," It isn't your fault. I think I am just overthinking."

Turning towards her, Kevin supported his head with his elbow and said," Let me tell you what exactly happened in the meeting room that day."

After telling Silvia everything, Kevin asked," So now you tell me, did I do anything? It was he who couldn't say anything and got nervous. I swear I gave him several chances to correct his mistake but he couldn't so I asked one of my old classmates to take over and explain the presentation. And the project that they are talking about, I am not responsible for choosing the employees okay? It's the departmental heads who do that. Now if his departmental head did not choose him then it's not my fault."

Kevin never tried to corner or target Richard. It was Richard who felt guilty and nervous and couldn't handle the presentation. 

" And if I really wanted to corner him or target him, do you think he would still be working in our company? No right?" Kevin asked.

Silvia smiled and nodded her head.

" You see babe, people are just slandering me." Kevin said before pinning her down again.

" Okay so enough of all of this and these serious talks. Now it's time to make love and flush down your insecurities." Kevin said before inching closer.

As his lips were about to touch hers, Silvia stopped him," Wait."

" Now what happened babe?" Kevin asked.

" You will never keep a woman outside right?" Silvia asked.

" Now where did that come from?" Kevin asked.

" I heard that rich people tend to keep two or three women outside." Silvia said.

Pressing their foreheads together, Kevin said," Why would I do that when I have such a beautiful wife? And if I ever did that, wouldn't you kill me or beat me to death?"

Silvia nodded her head and said," I'll kill both of you and then take away all your property and marry someone else." 

Kevin chuckled and said," You've planned it all. Don't worry because I won't let you marry anyone else. You are mine and only mine." Before pressing their lips together.

…..

Chris' and Martha's apartment.

" Babe let's leave." Chris shouted.

" One second." Martha said.

" This is your 100th one second." Chris said.

" And it isn't like you haven't met them before. Why do you have you doll yourself up so much? Just chill okay?" Chris said.

They were going to visit Chris' grandparents before collecting their marriage certificate the day after tomorrow.

Chris lost his parents when he was nine and had been brought up by his grandparents. His grandparents were the most important people in his life so they wanted to take their blessings before stepping into a very important phase of their life.

" Okay I am ready." Martha said.

When Chris saw Martha, he frowned and asked," How can you look so beautiful? What if my grandpa starts flirting with you again?"

Martha chuckled and said," You know he is favourite too."

" I am not letting that old man charm you tonight." Chris said before wrapping his arms around her waist and walking towards the door.

….

Jelvis mansion.

Throwing the magazine on the floor, Koulus Jelvis shouted," How dare she get engaged without informing us?"

Sermon Jelvis sighed and said," What makes you think that she will inform us? And why don't you just accept them? It isn't like we can stop them."

" Get the car ready. I am going to the Walkers and I demand an explanation for this from that old man." Koulus Jelvis said before walking towards the door.

Sermon groaned and said," Not again." Before following his father.
