Chapter 252 - I am already a major part of it

Veronica smiled and said," It's nice meeting you both. You have no idea how much Oli- I mean Matthew used to talk about you both."

Amy gasped and said," No wonder the kids are so cute and beautiful it's because sister-in-law is very pretty."

" Ahhh that is true." Janet said.

Matthew fronwed and said," What do you mean by that? Am I not cute?"

" Ahh you are but it's definitely because of sister-in-laws genes." Amy said.

Giving Veronica a hug, Janet said," I know I am late but still, welcome to the family."

Veronica smiled and said," Thank you so much."

" Sister-in-law, welcome." Amy said before giving Veronica a hug.

" We want hugs too." Sarah and Leo said.

" Aunt Amy will hug you." Amy said before squatting down and giving them a hug.

Turning towards Rocky who was standing near the door and observing the heartwarming reunion, Janet smiled.

Walking towards him, Janet said," Thank you so much."

" Well, there are other ways to thank me babe." Rocky said.

Janet chuckled and gave him a hug," Thank you so much honey but how did you-"

Cutting him off, Rocky chuckled and said," Magic." 

" Did he tell you who saved him back then?" Janet asked.

" Uncle Yugen and housekeeper Koilos saved me back then." Matthew said.

Janet fronwed and said," Uncle Yugen? Isn't he dad's business partner?"

Matthew nodded his head and said," Yes he is." 

" That means you were alive when housekeeper Koilos and his men dragged you out?" Janet asked.

Matthew nodded his head and said," Yes."

" But-"

Cutting Janet off, Rocky said," Wait for a second." Before turning towards Amy.

" Amy why don't you take Leo and Sarah to your room and watch some cartoons or play with them." Rocky said.

Amy nodded her head and said," Okay."

After Amy and the kids left, Rocky said," Let's sit and talk."

…..

In the living area.

" I don't remember anything except for the fact that father shot me." Matthew said.

Placing her hand on his, Veronica lightly squeezed it and smiled.

Matthew nodded his head and took a deep breath.

" When I woke up, I was lying in the hospital bed. The doctors and nurses told me that I was in comatose for four months and the first person I saw when I woke was uncle Yugen." Matthew said.

" But why did he save you? I mean I am glad that he did but why? Didn't you find it strange? He is so close to our father." Janet asked.

" Uncle Yugen died three years ago." Matthew said.

Janet sighed and asked," Did he tell you anything?"

Matthew nodded his head and said," Yes he did."

" What did-"

Cutting Janet off, Rocky said," We can talk about that later." Before giving Matthew a meaningful look.

Matthew nodded his head and continued," I was in the hospital for a couple of months more before I got discharged. When I was in the hospital, uncle Yugen's youngest sister Liza Adams took care of me. Her husband was a businessman but he was murdered the very day they got married. When I told aunt Liza that I wanted to become a businessman, she gave me the small company that her husband used to run. Aunt Liza also adopted me and gave me a completely new identity, Oliver Adams." 

Pausing for a while, Matthew continued," Aunt Liza has done so much for me. She has always been supportive, loving and the best guide. You and Amy are going to love her too. She will be coming here tomorrow." 

Janet smiled and said," I would love to meet her and what about father? Does he know that you are alive?"

" Actually-"

Cutting Matthew off, Rocky said,'' Let's talk about other things tomorrow. It's already so late and I bet everyone is hungry."

Understanding what Rocky was trying to do, Matthew nodded his head and said," Yes, I am hungry and I bet the kids are hungry too."

" I'll order something." Rocky said.

" I'll go take the plates out." Janet said.

" Let me help you." Veronica said.

" Honey you have to help Amy with her maths homework." Janet said.

" I'll do it." Matthew said.

After Janet and Veronica left, Rocky said," I don't want Janet to know how really complicated things are so let's just keep her away from this mess."

Matthew nodded his head and said," I agree with you."

" We can discuss the rest of the things later. When are you leaving?"Rocky asked.

" Vero and I are planning to settle down here. I will slowly shift the headquarters here." Matthew said.

Rocky nodded his head and said," That is good."

Keeping quiet for quite some time, Matthew asked,'' What you said at that time about Janet, that's not true right?"

" Of course it's not, I love her a lot." Rocky said.

Matthew nodded his head and said," I know."

…..

Kevin's and Silvia's apartment.

When Kevin arrived home, Silvia was soundly sleeping on the couch.

Squatting down, he caressed her cheek and said," Hey, wake up."

Slowly opening her eyes, Silvia smiled and said," You are back."

" Sorry you had to wait for so long." Kevin said.

" It's fine, I just came back from Ron's." Silvia said.

" Did you eat anything?" Kevin asked.

Silvia shook her head and said," No, I was waiting for you."

" Come get up." Kevin said.

Stretching her hands towards him, Silvia said," I don't want to walk."

Pinching the tip of her nose, Kevin scooped her into his arms and said," We have our annual military get together tomorrow."

" I'll have to go?" Silvia asked.

" If you don't want to then we will not go." Kevin said.

" Will there be food?" Silvia asked.

Kevin chuckled and said," Yes."

" I'll go." Silvia said.

" Also we will be holding our wedding banquet this weekend." Kevin said.

When Silvia did not say anything and kept on fiddling with his collar, Kevin asked," What happened? Are you not excited?"

" Can we not have a wedding banquet?" Silvia asked.

" But why?" Kevin asked.

Silvia sighed and said," I think people are not supposed to know that you are my husband." 

" Well, you intend to keep our marriage a secret?" Kevin asked.

Silvia shook her head and said," No but maybe for the timing I do."

Pausing for a while, Silvia said," Things are chaotic right now and I don't want you to get involved in this."

" What are you talking about Silvia? You don't want me to get involved? I am your husband, I am already a major part of this." Kevin said.
