Chapter 232 - Pretend

Ron nodded his head and said," Yes, Matilda Brown."

Rocky widened his eyes in shock and asked," Wait what? Brown?"

" She is Janet's late aunt, Andrew Browns biological sister." Ron said.

" Jackson Jones and Janet's aunt loved each other?" Chris asked.

Ron nodded his head and said," Yes they did. My dad told me that they loved each other a lot. Jackson Jones was deeply in love with her."

" Then what happened?" Matt asked.

Ron took a deep breath and said," Matilda Brown had taken part in the competition as she was the chosen one from her family and during the last round, Sabrina killed Matilda and became the next leader of SPIRIT."

" But weren't the best friends?" Rocky asked.

Ron nodded his head and said," They were childhood best friends just like Silvia and Janet. Matilda was way more skilled than Sabrina but she did not want to harm her best friend so she did not give her best. Sabrina grasped that opportunity and killed her best friend without any kind of hesitation."

" What did Jackson Jones do after that?" Rocky asked.

" Jackson Jones almost killed Sabrina but he was stopped by his father. After that he left the Jones mansion and promised never to come back. But after Sabrina and George died, he came back and took over the VP position in Jones Enterprise. Now when I think about it, I think he went back for Silvia. To keep her safe maybe." Ron said.

" Is she really Silvia's mother? I mean, Silvia is so sweet and loving but she-"

Kevin frowned and said," Don't compare her with Silvia."

" That is true, Silvia is nothing like her mother or father." Chris said.

Glancing at his watch, Matt said," I'll take my leave now, Bella is alone at home."

" Even I should leave." Chris said.

" Alright, I'll see you all tomorrow." Kevin said.

" Don't worry about anything okay? We will deal with this together." Matt said.

Kevin smiled and nodded his head.

...

Inside the house.

When Kevin entered the house, Uncle Herpi, uncle Thomas and Jackie were talking about something in a very secretive manner.

Looking around when Kevin did not see Silvia, he asked," Dad, where is Silvia?"

" She is in her room." Uncle Thomas said.

" I'll go and check her out." Kevin said before walking towards Silvia's room.

Just then Uncle Herpi stopped him saying," Kevin wait, I want to talk to you about something."

" I also want to ask you many things but first let me go and check on Silvia. We can talk after going home." Kevin said.

Uncle Herpi nodded his head and said," Okay."

….

Inside Silvia's room.

When Kevin entered Silvia's room, she was lying on the bed with her eyes closed.

Walking towards her, Kevin sat down beside her and said," There is no one so you can stop pretending."

When Silvia heard his voice, she quickly got up.

Intertwining their hands together, Kevin kissed her knuckles and said," It's fine, cry it out."

Burying her face on his chest, Silvia said," I don't know what to do, Kev." Bursting into tears.

Kevin sighed and pulled her closer and said," Everything will be okay, you have me now and so many loved ones in your side. You are not alone." 

He knew she was not okay and she was just pretending to be okay in front of everyone. Kevin knew she didn't want to upset anyone but was there a need to present in front of him as well? No.

" How could they do that? I was just seven back then and I was so small." Silvia said.

Though Silvia said that she didn't care about them but the thought about her parents abandoning her did hurt her. 

" I always thought that they loved me Kev but I was wrong." Silvia said.

Vigorously shaking her head, she said," They didn't." 

Patting her head, Kevin said," So what if they left you back then? Don't you have everything now? You have such loving and caring parents, you have such wonderful friends, you have me, mom and dad, Steve, Amy and you also have your uncle Jackson. You have so many people who genuinely care and love for you Silvia. What else do you need?"

Cupping her face, Kevin wiped her tears away with his thumb and said," I know you are sad and it's the best that you decided not to forgive them for what they did."

Kissing her forehead, Kevin said," Remember one thing honey, no matter what you decide I'll always support you. If you don't want to forgive them, I am okay with it but if you want to forgive them and acknowledge them as your parents again, I will also acknowledge them along with you. If you want to accept Jeren as well, I am fine with it." 

Silvia shook her head and said," I'll never forgive them but I don't know about Jeren. I haven't thought about that yet."

" There is no rush, you can take your time." Kevin said.

Wiping her tears away, Silvia said," I stained your shirt."

Kevin chuckled and said," I won't mind even if you rip it off." before giving her a peck on her lips.

Rubbing his nose against hers, Kevin said," You have no idea how tempting and beautiful you are looking right now."

Hitting his chest, Silvia said," Stop it, I must be looking horrible."

" Hey, my wife is the most beautiful woman in the whole world okay?" Kevin said.

Silvia chuckled and said," Whole world? Stop over flattering your wife Mr Austin." 

" I am not flattering, it's the truth. Like your husband is the most handsome man in the whole world." Kevin said.

Silvia pouted her lips and said," Nah, I have seen better."

Kevin frowned and said," What did you say?" Before tickling Silvia on her stomach.

" I-hahahah stop Kev-ahhh." Silvia started struggling and laughing at the same time.

" What...did...you...say?" Kevin asked before tickling her in every possible ticklish place.

" Ahhhh no no I did not say anything. You are the most handsome man." Silvia said.
