Chapter 247 - Who cares about her?

" So along with the Browns even the Collins are one of the competitors of the competition and we Evans are not supposed to be on good or talking terms let alone being in a relationship with any Collins or Brown." Ron said.

" But you and I are best friends." Janet said.

Ron sighed and said," Let's not talk about that for now." 

Pausing for a while, Ron continued," As far as I know, Evie and Edward started dating from high school." 

" Wait a sec, how old is Evie?" Bella asked.

" She is twenty five." Ron said.

" Ahh she is almost our age." Martha said.

" So they broke up because of family differences?" Silvia asked.

Ron nodded his head and said," Yeah, Edward did not tell Evie that he is the direct heir of the Collins family."

" Then how did she find out?" Janet asked.

" Dad told her." Ron said.

" Your dad?" Silvia asked.

Ron nodded his head and said," Yes." 

" He asked her to leave him? Directly?" Silvia asked.

" Not directly but-you see my dad loves and thinks highly of Evie than me. They have this special father and daughter bond which is out of my thinking capacity." Ron said.

" You are an Evans and he is a Collins….You know what to do princess." Were the exact words that father Brown had said to which Evie only nodded her head and the very next day she left the country.

" How long had they dated?" Silvia asked.

" They started dating when they were seventeen and broke up when they were twenty-two." Ron said.

" Five years? Oh my that is a lot." Bella said.

" And why didn't you say anything?" Silvia asked.

" Who? Me? And what makes you think that Evie will listen to me? You see Evie is very different from me, she will never do anything that will hurt dad or other family members." Ron said.

" Ahhh but they clearly are still in love with each other, why would they hurt each other like that?" Silvia said.

" So they occasionally meet and make out?" Martha asked.

Ron shook his head and said," No, in fact this is the first time I am seeing them like this after they broke up. My sister is a really tough and a very strong woman but she says that only Edward has the power in him to make her feel all weak and fragile so she tries to avoid him as much as she can." 

" Now wouldn't this make things more difficult for them?" Silvia asked.

Ron smiled and said," Yes, and that is why she will leave this place tomorrow and will probably go back to Canada." 

" And you will let her go?" Silvia asked.

" I did tell her and I tell her this everytime that if she wants to be Edward then I don't have a problem. In fact, I'll support her and help them sort things out but Evie is Evie." Ron said.

" And she thinks that running away from this will help? She thinks that leaving the country just like that is going to help?" Silvia asked.

Ron shrugged his shoulders and said," Now that is her problem not mine."

" What kind of a brother are you Ron? Can't you help your sister out?" Janet said.

Ron fronwed and said," If she doesn't want to be with him then I cannot force her to be with him. It has to come from her. She is the one who loves Edward and not me."

" Geez I think you are one who loves Edward and that is why you don't want to help Evie so that she leaves and you can have him all by yourself." Janet said.

" Hey, don't think so lowly of me okay?" Ron said.

…..

Matt's base.

Kevin frowned and asked," Now?"

Grabbing his coat, Rocky said," Yes, I just received a call from his assistant saying that he is here for a meeting and wants to meet me today itself." 

" But didn't he call you there tomorrow? Why is he here all of a sudden?" Kevin asked.

Rocky shook his head and said," I don't know."

" Alright, you should go." Kevin sais.

" Hey, are you sure you don't want to share your plan with us?" Chris asked.

" Don't worry, I am good." Rocky said before walking out of the room.

" I am going to interrogate Morris one more time, do you want to join?" Matt asked.

Kevin and Chirs nodded their heads and said," Sure."

….

Hotel Flamingo.

" Mr Wilson?" A woman said.

Rocky got up and said," Yes."

The woman smiled and said," I am Mr Adam's assistant, it's a pleasure meeting you. Please follow me." 

Rocky nodded his head and followed the woman.

….

Swiping the keycard, the woman said," Please come in." 

As soon as they entered the room, two kids came rushing towards them.

" Mommy, Leo is teasing me again." A little girl said.

" No mommy, Sarah is dumb." Leo said.

The woman helplessly shook her head and said," Can't you both see that we have a guest? This is the way you are supposed to behave?"

Sticking their tongue out, Leo and Sarah said," Hello uncle." Before extending their hands towards Rocky for a shake.

Rocky smiled and said," Hello." Before shaking their hands.

" Leo go and call your dad." The woman said.

" I'll go." Sarah shouted before rushing towards the room.

" No wait." Leo shouted before following his sister.

" You are-"

The woman smiled and said," I am Veronica Adams, Oliver's wife." 

Just then Oliver came out of his room and said," Sorry for the wait Mr Wilson." 

" It's alright Mr Adams." Rocky said.

" I'll go and check on the kids." Veronica said before taking her leave.

" Please take a seat." Oliver said.

Rocky nodded his head and sat beside Oliver.

" I never expected that you would personally come to finalize the deal." Oliver said.

" Well, this deal is very important for both the companies so I decided to handle it myself." Rocky said.

" I'll show you the documents." Oliver said before turning his laptop on.

" I never thought Mr Adams had such a happy and loving family." Rocky said.

Oliver smiled and said," You have no idea how naughty kids can be, especially twins."

" Ahh I don't like kids. I mean I like your kids, they are cute but I would never have kids of my own." Rocky said.

" Why?" Oliver asked.

" I don't know, it's just an unnecessary headache." Rocky said.

Keeping quiet for quite some time, Oliver asked," So what about your girlfriend? She doesn't like kids either?"

Rocky chuckled and said," Who cares about her?"
