Mr. President: You Are The Daddy Of My Triplets - Chapter 259

Chapter 259: 259- Se*xy Daddy

Marissa was standing on the grand balcony of her room, looking at the sprawling lawn, where she could easily go by using the small staircase provided in a corner.

Rafael made a good decision when he asked her to go home for the kids’ sake. They were mentally disturbed. Ariel was continuously talking about the blood drop that came out of Abi’s nostril. While Alex was trying to act like a cool brother, and the worry was evident on his face.

She jerked back to the real world when she heard Sophie behind her, “What are you thinking, Mar?”

Her friend had been here since the evening when she learned about Abigail’s condition.

Marissa shrugged and held the bowl of caramel popcorn that Sophie just brought.

Their guilty pleasure.

She grabbed a handful of popcorn and tossed it in her mouth.

“The event,” she savored the gooey texture as she chewed, closing her eyes in bliss, “it’s less than a week away and I’m already getting heart palpitations.”

Sophie groaned when saw her finishing the bowl at supersonic speed, “Leave some for me. Ok? And why these heart palpitations, honey?”

She tried to grab maximum popcorn into her fist but now Marissa wasn’t even interested in it anymore.

“The event is getting on my nerves now, Soph. Presence of Nina and Val. The announcement of our relationship. Our kids will be there. I don’t know what kind of reaction to expect from the people.”

Sophie facepalmed in frustration, “Now don’t be a fool, Mar. What’ve you got to do with their reactions? Fu*ck them all!” she tapped her index finger on Marissa’s forehead, “Free your mind from all these thoughts. You deserve to be happy and be in love. You deserve it, sweetie.”

Marissa knew what Sophie was talking about. She had to let everything go.

But the only thing that kept echoing in her mind was Nina’s threat about her kids.

“Do you think, Rafael won’t trust you if you’ll tell him about his dear mommy?” Sophia asked sharply. The question made Marissa sigh.

“More than that I’m scared to hurt him. A mother is supposed to stand with her kids through thick and thin. And here a mom is ready to kill her son’s happiness by pairing him with a woman who isn’t even his wife,”

Marissa rested her elbows on the banister, and leaned her chin on her fists, “Nina wouldn’t even accept those kids if their mother is not according to her liking.”

“Oh, come on,” Sophie again popped some popcorn into her mouth and offered the bowl to Marissa, but she declined, “Now wipe that depressed look off your face, Mar, and tell me, what are you planning to wear to the event?”

A slow smile broke on Marissa’s lips, “Alle Nora is landing here to design our dresses. Rafael called her here, bearing all her flight costs and stay expenses.”

Sophie’s eyes got wide with shock, “Alle Nora? THE Alle Nora?” Marissa chuckled at her reaction.

“Yeah. She will bring her team to get our dresses stitched in record time,” she then picked up popcorn and threw it at her friend, “Now you can close your mouth, girl!”

Sophie shuddered in excitement and breathed a wow. But then the skin between her brows knitted in confusion, “Our dresses! Did you say OUR? Who else is she stitching for?”

Marisa tried to control her happy smile, “Have you forgotten your nieces, Sophie?”

“Whoa!” Sophie hooted in delight, “You are lucky, Missy. Rafael is so into you. And it’s good that he sent you home. Let him develop that special bond with Abi.”

Marissa rolled her eyes and shook her head, “He has already developed a bond with her.”

“Then let that bond strengthen!” Sophie thrust the bowl back into her hands, “Let me bring wine for you!”

Marissa quickly held her arm, “No. I want coffee. Can you intercom the helper to bring us coffee?”

“Oh. I forgot that now you have twenty-four-hour house help and I don’t need to go to the kitchen. By the way, don’t they sleep?”

“This one is on night duty,” Marissa informed her, a hint of amusement in her voice. Sophie raised her brow, clearly impressed.

Marissa wanted to make a call to Rafael but then changed her mind. What if he was busy with Abi? She didn’t want to disturb her child with the constant calls.

***

Marissa hurried into the hospital, her heels clicking on the polished floor, and her heart was racing with worry.

Abigail never stayed in the hospital without her mom and Marissa was sure, the child must have given a tough time to her father.

Rafael might be too decent to accept it.

A part of her regretted leaving her there, but she was also worried about Ariel and Alexander.

While rushing to Abi’s room, she weaved past a few nurses. Once reaching the room, she inhaled a long breath and opened the door, expecting her daughter, sitting there with a swollen face due to excessive crying. But instead, she stopped dead in her tracks.

Rafael wasn’t in the bunk provided for the visitors. Instead, he was on Abigail’s hospital bed, lying down with his arm wrapped protectively around their daughter. Little Abi was sound asleep on his chest, her small hand was clutching his shirt. Her delicate face was nestled in his neck and there was peace there.

Rafael was fast asleep, his mouth slightly open, Marissa could hear light snores coming from him.

She stayed there frozen, watching the father and daughter duo. And then she realized the significance of Rafael in her kids’ lives.

No matter what happened between them, she made the mistake of not informing him about his kids on time.

Abi had always been so scared of needles and medicine that she hardly slept in hospital beds. But now she was sleeping like a dead, with a cannula in the back of her hand.

She approached them quietly, trying not to disturb either of them. However, she couldn’t control the urge when she saw Rafael’s hair locks over his forehead.

She gently touched those thick strands and pushed them lightly over his head. All she wanted to do was kiss that kissable mouth and bite it.

Rafael must have felt her presence because his eyes flickered open and a tired smile appeared on his face.

He placed a hand on his daughter’s cheek and whispered, “Good morning, Mommy!”

Marissa teased him with a gentle smile, “Hello, you se*xy, Daddy!”
