Mr. President: You Are The Daddy Of My Triplets - Chapter 247

Chapter 247: 247- Val And Del’s Secret

Valerie was sitting in the hotel restaurant, waiting for Nina. The older woman didn’t know a thing about today’s office incident. Nowadays, she was too busy convincing Andrew to sell the White Palace to her.

Marissa was planning to organize the event in the palace and Nina wanted to prove to the world that Marissa was still a classless and worthless bitch.

Smiling to herself, Valerie tapped her fingers lightly on her wine glass as she waited for her mother-in-law. The soft murmurs of other diners barely registered in her mind as she was too engrossed in thinking about Nina and Marissa.

They both would get too busy killing each other and Valerie could take advantage of the situation. The bitch got safe today, but she couldn’t stay safe forever.

Her attention snapped when she noticed a figure standing close to the table and it wasn’t Nina.

“D-Delinda?” Valerie looked around in panic. Her heart skipped a beat though she tried to keep her expression calm. She didn’t want Nina to know what she made this woman do today.

“What are you doing here?” she hissed, “Didn’t I ask you to stay away from me?” She felt uneasy in her presence.

She wished, she could get up and brushed past the woman, pretending she wasn’t there. Delinda didn’t move.

She wasn’t even blinking her eyes.

Is she crazy? Valerie thought.

“You used me!” it wasn’t a question but a statement. More like an allegation, “You used me for putting the nails in that seat. Why?”

Valerie looked around; she didn’t want anyone to witness this talk.

“Look, Delinda…” she trailed off when saw the intense look on her face.

“Mrs. Sinclair! Why didn’t you tell me that those nails were dipped in poison?”

“P-poison?” Valerie tried to laugh it off, “What are you talking about?”

“You don’t know, what I’m talking about?” Delinda slowly approached the table and bent, to place her palms on the surface, “What were you even thinking? Who will take care of my boy if I’m sent to jail?” by the end of it, her eyes brimmed with tears.

Valerie was sitting there like a statue, not knowing if she should try to breathe or not. She didn’t let the fear show on her face.

She straightened in her seat and narrowed her eyes slightly to meet Delinda’s gaze confidently, “A-Are you m-mad, Delinda? W-Why would I do that?” she shot her a challenging smirk, while her insides were screaming to get rid of the woman. She was bad news.

Delinda’s jaw tightened as she curved her back even more to get closer to Valerie, “Is this a joke to you? What were you exactly planning? Wasn’t it about harming Marissa? You never told me that the plan was to kill her.”

Valerie gulped and forced a smile. Her eyes scanned the restaurant and as expected there were a few customers who were throwing weird glances towards them.

“Can you at least sit down?” Valerie raised her shoulder with a sweet smile and gestured towards the other seat, “We can talk about it. I’m right here. And I’m not running away anywhere, Delinda. Come on. Sit down.”

Delinda didn’t look convinced but before she could respond there was a cheerful voice close by.

“Hello! Hey Delinda. We meet again!” Nina had a big smile when she took another seat without bothering to offer Delinda to join them.

She secretly raised a brow at Valerie, asking her silently, why this weirdo was there.

Valerie shrugged and brought back the smile to her face. Nina shouldn’t know at any cost that she was involved in something.

Being a born bitch, her mother-in-law would never let it go and would use it against Valerie.

Nina pursed her lips and raised her face to watch Delinda who wasn’t even smiling in return. Her eyes darted to her daughter-in-law in suspicion, “Is everything alright?”

Valerie placed her wine glass on the table and got up, “We will be back in a while, Nina. Can you order fried fish along with their signature sauce?” she gently placed her hand on Nina’s shoulder.

“Sure,”

Valerie held Delinda’s hand and almost dragged her outside the restaurant. She could feel Nina’s eyes following her.

“What is your problem, Delinda?” she gritted the words through her teeth, “Why are you here? Can’t you let me live in peace?

“Delinda freed her hand and shook her head, “I already asked you, Mrs. Sinclair. Why did you use me for this? What if something happens to Denzel? What would my kid do if I get arrested…”

Valerie didn’t let her finish and held her shoulders, “Relax. Ok? Just relax. You seem too concerned for your child. You must love him a lot.”

“Of course!” she snapped, “Which mother won’t love her child?”

Valerie smiled and hugged her. If Delinda was crazy, it was time to show her that she was crazier, “I understand. Ok?” she breathed the words in her ear, “That’s why I would advise you to keep everything to yourself. Once you tell this to someone and poof!” Delinda felt Valerie’s hot breath against her cheek, “You will be sent straight to jail, Del. So do yourself and your precious child a favor and don’t share with anyone, what I made you do.”

Valerie straightened and patted her cheek gently with all the fake love, “By the way, let me tell you. No one will believe you. Rafael might not take me as his wife, but he and Nina won’t leave any stone unturned to protect me. Because I’m Sinclair’s daughter-in-law and they will never let the family name get tarnished. Are you getting me?”

Delinda kept looking at her and then her shoulders slumped when she gave her head a subtle nod.

“Good girl. See? Easy peasy! And what kind of friend are you? Didn’t you assure me that you would stay by my side, no matter what?” she raised her brow while questioning her loyalty.

Delinda’s eyes were fixed on the ground, avoiding the eye contact. She nodded and exhaled a sigh, “Y-you are right, ma’am. But the poison…”

“Forget about that, Delinda. Your secret is safe with me,” she tapped her finger on her chest, “it is safe here in my heart.” She smirked meaningfully enjoying the worried expression on Delinda’s face.
