Chapter 241 - One woman man

Silvia felt very nice and happy after talking to Jackie but at the same time, she felt sad and heartbroken after hearing his story.

The little amount of respect and acknowledgement that she had for her biological parents was completely wiped away after hearing Jackie's story. 

How could someone so inhuman and glib like Sabrina even think about leading a happy and peaceful life? 

" You are done?" Kevin asked who had been waiting for her near the backyard door.

Wrapping her arms around his waist, Silvia buried her head on his chest and let out a long sigh.

" What happened?" Kevin asked.

When Silvia did not say anything but instead tightened her grip around him, Kevin said," Let's go to our room okay?"

…..

Inside the room.

Making her sit on the edge of the bed, Kevin squatted down in front of her and asked," Okay now tell me what happened."

After telling Kevin Jackie's heart throbbing story, she sighed and said," I am feeling so bad for him." 

" It's gonna be okay, uncle Jack is a brave man." Kevin said before giving Silvia a hug.

" Kev."

" Hmm."

" Can we help him? I mean can we help him find aunt Tili's grave?" Silvia asked.

Kevin nodded his head and said," Yes we can. I'll ask Matt to help us with that just give me a day." 

Silvia helplessly shook her head and said," I don't know how to react. How could she do that? Wasn't aunt Tili her best friend? I-" 

The more she thought about it the more unhappy and heavy hearted she felt. 

" Alright now don't think about it okay? Isn't it all in the past now?" Kevin said.

Glancing at the watch, Silvia said," Let's go home."

" Yeah okay, even I have to meet Rocky, Chris and Matt at the club after sometime." Kevin said.

…..

Lagoon Regency.

" Ahhhhh- I am sorry." Janet gasped and said before spilling an entire glass of freshly squeezed orange juice on someone.

Looking at his stained orange shirt, Edward smiled and said," It's alright."

" Jan what happened?" Martha asked.

" I tripped and-" Janet said before pointing towards Edwards stained shirt.

" It's alright, you don't have to worry about this." Edward said.

" Mr Collins?" Bella asked.

Edwards smiled and said," Ahh Ms Watson, it's been a long time."

Bella smiled and said," Yes it's been a long time." 

" You know him?" Martha whispered.

Bella nodded her head and said," Yes I-"

" Ms Watson and I met in a charity gala a couple of years ago and then at several business meetings and parties." Edward said.

" Ahhh how could I forget, you are no more Ms Watson now, you are Mrs Davis." Edward said.

Bella chuckled and said," Yes."

" So you stay with your husband?" Edward asked.

Bella nodded her head and said," Yes and you also stay here I beleive?"

Edward nodded his head and said," Yes I do."

" It's good that you both know each other." Janet said.

Edward chuckled and said," Because that makes you feel a little less guilty?"

Janet nodded her head and said," Maybe."

Edward smiled and said," You don't have to worry, I don't mind getting stained by a beautiful woman like you early in the morning." 

Janet chuckled and said," Well, then should I take my sorry back?"

" Yeah I guess, I never asked for it anyway." Edward said.

Pausing for a while, Edward asked," So all of you stay here?"

Martha nodded her head and said," Yes."

" Ahhh such beautiful ladies are my neighbours and I had no idea. Such a shame." Edward said.

" I am Edwards Collins by the way." Edward said.

" Martha Jelvis." Martha said.

" It's a pleasure meeting you Ms or Mrs?" Edward asked.

Martha smiled and said," Mrs Walker." 

" Ahh I see, it's a pleasure meeting you Mrs Walker." Edward said.

" Janet Brown." Janet said.

Edward raised his eyebrows and said," Janet Brown? Are you Mathew's sister?"

" You know him?" Janet asked.

Edward smiled and said," Mathew and I were very close friends. We were in high school and business school together. I never expected to bump into his sister all of a sudden." 

Giving him a weak smile, Janet nodded his head.

Just then Rocky, Matt and Chris stepped out of their apartment and frowned when they saw a handsome looking man talking with their wife's.

Looking at his stained shirt, Edward said,'' I'll go change now. I'll see you three around then." Before walking towards his apartment.

" Now that is one cute face and a healthy flirt." Martha said.

" I know, right?" Bella said.

" You know what these kinds of men are?" Janet asked.

" What?" Martha and Bella asked.

" They are eye candies." Janet said.

The three of them burst into laughter while their partners who were standing not too far away from them had their darkest expression on. 

" I thought you people were going to Ron's place to have breakfast with him." Matt said.

" Ahhh you people are still here? I thought you left." Bella said.

" Uh Huh? And that is while you decided to openly flirt with a handsome man behind our back?" Chris said.

" Babe he was Edward Collins, my father has business collaborations with his company remember? Even you have met him before." Bella said.

Matt smiled and said," Of course, how can I forget him?" How could he forget the man who was shamelessly flirting with his assistant during a business party?

" Alright, you people should leave. We are going now." Janet said before walking towards Ron's apartment.

After they left, Rocky helplessly shook his head and said," A handsome single man in the building now, not good."

" Why do I suddenly feel like this building is not safe anymore?" Chris asked.

….

Ron's apartment.

" Ahh it's good to see you again Evie." Janet said before giving Evelyn a hug.

" It's been a long time, Jan." Evie said.

" I never knew Ron had such a beautiful sister." Martha said.

Ron smiled and said," Evie she is Martha and she is Bella. They are our neighbors too."

" It's a pleasure meeting you two." Evie said.

Bella smiled and said," We brought breakfast for everyone."

Rubbing his stomach, Ron said," Ahh I am famished." 

" Ron, do you know about the cute guy right beside your apartment?" Janet asked.

" Yeah I do." Ron said.

" Well, we just met him and he is quite impressive." Martha said.

Bella chuckled and said," Ahh you people don't think of Mr Collins as a flirt. I heard that he is a one woman man."
