Mr. President: You Are The Daddy Of My Triplets - Chapter 248

Chapter 248: 248- Rafael’s Savage Advice

“What did that crazy woman want from you?” Nina asked her while sipping her red wine. Valerie was just in time when their order arrived.

Valerie raised her nose and took a long sniff, “Oh. It smells divine!” she quickly grabbed a napkin before picking up the fork.

She transferred some fish pieces onto her plate and started pouring the sauce over it. However, when she looked up, she found Nina staring at her instead of eating her food, “What?”

She quickly pushed the fork into her mouth and closed her eyes, “This tastes so good. Just like I imagined.”

Nina was still sitting there, with her fist under her chin, “Valerie!” she moved her tongue in her mouth before she began speaking, “Why do I feel that there is something fishy going on?”

Valerie wasn’t expecting this bluntness from Nina. Her smile faltered but just for a moment, “N-no! You must be imagining it!” she waved her hand and sipped some iced water.

Gosh! What did I say? She is a born bitch.

“Then why is she here for you? Are you two dating each other? You two having an affair?”

Valerie was horrified by the allegation, “Come on, Nina. You know, I’m straight.”

“Then?” Nina still hadn’t started eating.

Giving up with a sigh, Valerie wiped her mouth and tossed the napkin, “She has been telling everyone that she is a widow. But her husband is very much alive. He got involved in some other girl from his office and cheated on her back. To take her revenge, she ran away with her son. He must be looking for them,” Valerie explained and then again picked up her fork to wave it in the air, “Now for God’s sake. Start eating, Nina. Let me tell you that this is delish. Try it if you want!”

Seeing Nina, turning her focus to her plate, Valerie took a sigh of relief. But she had to be very cautious around Nina. She didn’t want to give her the impression that she felt at ease after the topic was dropped.

So, she continued, “She thinks I must be going through the same pain…” She flicked her eyes upward in annoyance, “That’s why she wants to be there to console me. Initially, I liked how she used to be there, always encouraging me but now…”

She leaned back and eyed Nina who was now looking at her, “She is being a pain in the ass,” She shook her head and resumed eating.

There was silence for a few minutes when Valerie spoke again, “What about your plan to buy White Palace? Is the owner ready to sell it to you?”

Nina shook her head and motioned for the waiter to pour some more wine into her glass.

“No. He’s asking me to wait a little. The asshole is married and still decided to sleep with me,” Now why did she share such a tidbit with Valerie? She needed to be more mindful of what to say in front of her. Anything could be used against her.

Kids were watching ‘Frozen’ in the home theater while Marissa was busy thinking about what Dean told her in the hospital.

On their way back, she didn’t let Rafael see her distress, but he wasn’t a fool.

“What my wife is worried about?” he drew her closer to him in the backseat.

Sitting beside him, she had just smiled, “Denzel is a very good man. I don’t know who did this to him,” this was the only excuse she could come up with for her disturbed state.

He had kissed her head before letting her go.

And now sitting in the theater, her mind was constantly on Delinda. Why would she make such a cruel attempt on anyone’s life?

Her target was not Denzel but her!

“Still thinking about Denzel?” she didn’t know when Rafael sat quietly beside her and kissed her temple.

“Hmm,” she tried to smile before kissing his lips. Kids were already excited about watching the movie in the home theater.

She gave one look at their kids’ heads and grinned, “Look at them. Sitting so quietly… like angels and staring at the screen!”

“Yeah. I can see that! Did they get their popcorn? Should I fetch it for them?” He wanted to go out, but Marissa held his wrist.

“Don’t! They already had it. All they need is hot milk with cookies before they go for brushing their teeth.”

Rafael turned to her, nuzzling his nose in her cheek, “I can’t wait to go to our bedroom with you.”

Our bedroom! It sounded nice.

He could easily see the blush on her cheeks in the dim lights.

When the movie was finished, the kids gave them kisses before retiring to their bedroom. Emily assured them that they would get a cookie and milk as a reward for being good.

When they all left the theater, Rafael and Marissa stayed behind.

“Hey, strawberry. Don’t tell me you are in a mood to do it here,” he was trying hard to keep the mischief off his voice but as always, she detected it and pinched his arm.

“Don’t forget the kitchen scene when Sophie caught us. I don’t want our kids or house help to catch us like this,” he let out a soft chuckle before hauling her on his lap.

“This is our home, and nobody can set his foot here as long as we don’t permit them,” he started teasing the crook of her neck making it ticklish.

“Rafael!” she called him softly.

“Hmm…” Rafael didn’t want to back off. She was too tempting at the moment.

“H-how to treat your enemies?”

Rafael was caught off guard by this unexpected question.

He went still at her serious query and pulled back to have a better look at her face. Her face was glowing under the yellow dim lights of the theater.

“What do you mean, love?”

“I mean to say is… how to take the revenge. A successful one!” Rafael’s heart went out to her. She was still scared of the people who betrayed both of them.

He wished, he could tell her, how he was planning the revenge.

“Do you want to know the best revenge, Strawberry?” he asked her gently while brushing his knuckle against her soft cheek.

And when she shook her head innocently, his lips curled up at the corners, “Think from their mind, little Greene. From their perspective.”

When she didn’t remark, he spoke again, “Play smartly. Use their weapons on them. Such people know how to play with others but expect that no one can beat them in their own lies and games. That’s where they are wrong.”

He kissed her chin and then licked the area. A satisfied grin on his face when he heard her sharp intake of breath, “While taking revenge, never think from YOUR mind. Imagine that you have their brains fixed inside your head. That attack will be more brutal and more savage!”
