Mr. President: You Are The Daddy Of My Triplets - Chapter 266

Chapter 266: 266- What About My Heart?

“She is as mean as Marissa!” Valerie remarked when she saw Sophia leaving along with Joseph, “She must be over the moon after becoming a wh*ore of the best friend of the President of MSin.”

Nina sighed at the absurd statement, “Don’t be ridiculous, Val. As a gynecologist, she has more worth, love. Now relax and sit down.”

Valerie was having difficulty controlling her fury. She settled beside Nina and tightened the shawl around her, “What did she mean, I don’t want to miss the party. Is there a late-night surprise planned?”

Instead of answering, Nina just shrugged nonchalantly. Tonight, she didn’t want to feel bad about anything. Her son had told her that he would talk to her after the event. She wanted to know if it would be right after the party or tomorrow.

However, the way Dr. Sophia subtly hinted, she had an uncomfortable feeling. Like an intuition. As if something was about to happen.

Something bad!

Silly! She scolded herself, nothing bad is going to happen tonight.

The only worst thing that happened to their family was Marissa and Nina knew how to tackle her.

Marissa stood before the mirror, examining the final result. The image of the woman looking back at her looked gorgeous.

A hairstylist worked on her hair and set her hair in a classic chignon; soft curls framed her face beautifully. After getting done with her hair, the woman was then ushered to the girls’ room where she had to attend to their hair.

For her makeup, a famous salon owner flew down to Kanderton and got her ready. The assistant of the dress designer Alle Nora stayed with her and helped her with the dress.

Marissa carefully adjusted the strap of her sleek black gown, made up of soft satin material that was cascading over her curves. The sleeveless dress was shimmering in the low light.

It was stunning and elegant. She had chosen it because it was nothing overly fancy and looked gorgeous on her, hugging her figure perfectly while the high side slit exposed her leg with each step. It was adding a little boldness to her sophisticated look.

The bodice of the gown was fitted with a subtle sweetheart neckline that showed her bo*obs partially, without being too revealing.

Rafael had seen the material, but he was unaware of how she had designed it.

She exhaled, smoothing the fabric over her hip. Tonight was the night for her. She had already seen Nina and Valerie on the surveillance monitor.

It was Dean who had told her that Rafael had decided a long time back that she would accompany him in this event. Appointing her as a chef was just a hoax to buy some time to win her heart.

He also told her how the event was supposed to be arranged right after one month of his arrival to Kanderton, but he postponed it because of her.

With one final look in the mirror, she slipped her heels, the slit of the gown swayed effortlessly with her movements.

She checked the time on the wall clock. Rafael was about to come and pick her up from the room. He was getting ready in the guest room, allowing her some privacy with the helpers.

At that very moment, without warning the door swung open, and Rafael walked in, “Honey. Are you ready?”

He entered the room, adjusting his cufflinks as his gaze casually swept over the room. The moment he saw Marissa, he froze in his tracks.

“Damn!” he muttered under his breath, his eyes widening slightly, “Little Greene… you look!” his voice trailed off as if he was at the loss of words.

Marissa held back the smile when she heard his sharp intake of breath.

She looked at him in the mirror, a subtle grin was tugging at the corner of his lips as he started heading towards her, his eyes never leaving hers.

“Look at you!” he tried to bring some teasing in his voice, “You look so …” She slowly turned around to face him, and he almost forgot how to breathe.

“I look…” she raised her brows questioningly, “Come on. Finish it!” she teased him with a playful grin. But he stayed serious, standing there staring at her.

“Fu*ck!” he cursed again and started running his fingers through his perfectly made hair, “It is supposed to wait till tonight. After the event.”

“Sorry! What?” Marissa blinked in confusion, and he chuckled.

“Nothing. Just a little surprise…” The same cockiness was back in his voice.

Marissa wanted to ask more about this surprise but then they were distracted when heard a knock at the door.

“Come in,” Rafael snapped but his eyes remained on his wife.

“Sir,” Emily’s head appeared in the doorway, “Can you help with this?”

Behind her, Alex stood carrying a tie. He was wearing the exact same suit as his father.

“He said, he wants you to tie that around his neck,” Emily explained with a smile.

“Come over,” Rafael kneeled, and Marissa went ahead to kiss Alex’s head, “My handsome boy.”

“Mom. You look so beautiful,” her son complimented her, and Marissa thought he looked a little grown up, wearing that suit.

Emily smiled warmly, “He is right, Mrs. Sinclair. You look lovely,”

“Thank you, Emily,” Marissa then turned back to the bed to pick up her clutch, “Are the girls ready?” she asked Emily while fixing her front curls.

“They are,” Emily replied glancing towards Alex, “The hairstylist was just giving final touches to Ariel’s hair.”

“Hmm!”

“Emily,” Rafael got up after getting done with Alex, “You will wait for Dean’s call and the moment you get it, come and get the kids immediately.”

“Sure, Mr. Sinclair. I remember every instruction. Don’t worry. I’ll be there right after the call,”

“Good!”

When they left, Rafael turned to Marissa, “Is there any chance that I can kiss you, sweetheart?”

He asked so innocently that Marissa was torn between teasing him or giving a straightforward denial.

She was struggling to keep a straight face, “What about my lip color, mister?”

He gathered her into his warm embrace, his eyes wandering on her face, “And what about my heart, Miss?”
