One last time

When Silvia nodded her head, Grandpa Jones sat down beside her.

After a few seconds of awkward silence, Grandpa Jones asked, "Are you still angry with grandpa?"

Without waiting for her reply, Grandpa Jones added, "Well, I don't really blame you. It's all my fault."

"What do you want grandpa? If you are here to tell me that I shouldn't be with him then I think we shouldn't talk at all." Silvia said. She was irritating and frustrated with everyone telling her that she shouldn't be with Kevin because of some stupid competition and how she would leave him and focus on how to win a competition instead.

Grandpa Jones smiled and helplessly shook his head. "No pumpkin I am not here to tell you that, in fact I am here to tell you that how wrong I was about Kevin and your relationship with him. I shouldn't have been so unreasonable. I am sorry." 

When Silvia fronwed and gave him a complicated look, Grandpa Jones smiled. "I know I have made many mistakes which are irreplaceable but I am trying to fix them accordingly. Will you give your grandpa a chance?" 

When Silvia did not say anything, Grandpa Jones added, "I know I have done things which are not forgivable but your grandma didn't know anything about it. She had no idea that you were alive and I had actually faked Sabrina's and George's death. She was always very fond of you."

Pausing for a while, Grandpa Jones added, "It would be nice if you would forgive your grandma and visit her sometimes. She really misses you and always talks about you. Don't forgive me because I know I am at fault but you can at least forgive her. She is innocent, just like you."

Silvia pursed her lips and kept on staring at her grandpa. She didn't know how to react and what to say. Should she ignore him? Should she just let him be? Or should she forgive him? 

Seeing her complicated expressions, Grandpa Jones smiled and patted her head, "You don't have to say anything now, take your time and think about it. You can come over to the main mansion for dinner with your husband. I will be sending Sabrina and George to some other place soon so you don't have to worry about bumping into them again and-" taking out a velvet box and a paper from his pocket, Grandpa Jones added, "I couldn't give you anything when you got married but this is a small token love from your grandma and my side." 

"I-" 

Shoving it into her hand, Grandpa Jones said, "Take it. You shouldn't say no to gifts."

Tightening her grip around the paper and box, Silvia smiled. "Thanks for this."

Patting her head one more time, Grandpa Jones was about to leave but Silvia stoped him.

"Did you eat anything?" Silvia asked.

When grandpa Jones shook his head, Silvia frowned, "Are you leaving without eating?" 

"I-"

"Wait here, I'll get something for you." Silvia said before getting up and walking away.

Holding a wine glass in his hand, Kevin was busy greeting his employees and other people when Richard approached him.

"Hmm Good evening boss." 

Kevin nodded his head and greeted him back. "Good evening Mr Richard, I hope you are enjoying the banquet." 

Richard nodded his head and smiled. "Of course boss."

Pausing for a while, Richard asked, "Boss, can we talk for a while?" 

Kevin thought for a while and nodded his head. 

"I-"

Cutting Richard off, Kevin said, "Do something, come to my office tomorrow."

Richard smiled and nodded his head. " Okay boss."

…..

Silvia was platting some food for grandpa Jones when someone tapped her shoulders.

Smiling at her, the man said, "I never thought you were actually married to such a great man Silvia."

Smiling at him, Silvia said, "I hope you are having a great time Dr Johnathan."

Johnathan smiled and nodded his head. "Ahh yes I am."

Pausing for a while, Johnathan added, "Why didn't you tell us about him?"

"About whom?" Silvia asked.

"About you husband being such a great and rich man."

Silvia shrugged her shoulders and added, "Well, I never thought it is necessary to tell everyone about it and besides my personal and professional life is completely different." 

"Hmmm I see. Well, I am shocked with nurse Janet being Mr Wilson's girlfriend as well. You two friends surely know how to choose men." Johnathan said.

Finding his sentence very offensive, Silvia raised her eyebrows. "Well, what do you mean by that?"

"Well you know, both best friends hooking up with two rich men who are also best friends." Johnathan mockingly said.

Silvia narrowed her eyes and was about to say something when someone wrapped his arms around her waist.

"Honey, hungry already?" Kevin asked.

"Ahh no, this is for grandpa." Silvia said.

Extending his hand for a shake, Johnathan smiled. "It's nice meeting you again Mr Austin."

"Hmmm."

Awkwardly retrieving his hand back, Johnathan pursed his lips. 

"Are you hungry?" Kevin asked.

Silvia shook her head and said, "No I am not."

"Hmm, tell me when you want are okay?" Kevin asked.

Silvia smiled and nodded her head.

"I was telling Silvia how lucky she is to have such an amazing man as her husband." Johnathan said.

Kevin smiled and added, "No, I am lucky to have her as my wife."

"Ahh, Dr Johnathan was telling me how Janet and I managed to hook up with you and Rocky. In fact he was also praising our talent in choosing a rich man." Silvia added.

Kevin raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is it? How great will it be if I tell the management about how their staff insulted my wife in a banquet organised for my wife?"

Johnathan gulped in nervousness and shook his head. "I didn't mean to-"

"I think you are forgetting that this isn't a hospital and you are not my wife's superior and Silvia isn't just an ordinary staff of your hospital but also my wife." Kevin said.
