Mr. President: You Are The Daddy Of My Triplets - Chapter 369

Chapter 369: 369- It Was A Risk!

“Miles!” she tried to shake his feeble body, but he was too sleepy to speak. First Sheila thought he had passed away but thankfully he was breathing.

“Miles. Please wake up. You have to help me!” she tried stirring his shoulders a little, and the elderly man could only flutter his eyes and then went back to sleep.

Oh, God. What if Nina had given him something to stay sleepy?

She sat on the floor leaning to Miles’s bed and thought hard. This wasn’t the time to panic. To get out of there, she needed to take Alexander with her and then run for their life.

Fu*ck Shane’s wealth and fu*ck everyone.

Unlike last time she didn’t need to pack her bags. Her only precious thing was Alexander, and she had to handle the situation diplomatically.

Wiping her face, she entered the living room and found Nina and Alex watching TV. Nina was so cunning that she had made Alex sit on the corner of the couch while she was sitting beside him in the middle part of the couch.

Instead of making any issue out of it, she sat beside Nina.

“I’m sorry!” she whispered sniffing her nose, to give the impression that she had been crying. It made Nina turn her head in her direction, “It was rude of me to shout at you, Nina when you were nothing but a good human to me,” Sheila kept wiping the tears off her face.

She wanted to give Nina the feeling that Sheila was still gullible and wanted to make peace with it. She was ok to see her son happy with Nina.

Deep down she was scared. There was something extremely wrong with her son. He was too weak as if he was starved to death. His fresh face had lost all the glow and in its place was the face of a very feeble child whose cheekbones were too prominent.

Seated on the other corner of the couch, she was giving subtle glances his way, wishing he would look at her.

Nah! He was eating the popcorn from the bowl quite mechanically.

What did Nina do to him?

Did she give him drugs?

It was late at night, and Gabriel was here to collect some of his important documents and then get back to his new place, miles away from here.

In that new house, he had hired a governess who could stay with kids for two days so that he could travel back and forth.

Nobody in Sangua city seemed to feel his absence and he was thankful for that. After locking his house, he was coming out so that he could take a cab when he saw a figure of a woman standing near the main door. Half of her face was hidden behind the shawl.

No, it couldn’t be Nina. This woman was slimmer than her.

“Yes?” he asked with a frown and was shocked when he saw who it was, “Sheila?” he whispered her name.

“Are… are you Gabriel?”

“Yes!” he nodded and shrugged, “I wished I could offer you a chair or a couch but…”

She started shaking her head, “That’s fine, Gabriel. I … I just need your help.”

Gabriel tightened his jaw, “Listen, Sheila. I don’t know what kind of help you need but I …” he exhaled a long breath, “I can’t take risks. I need to stay away from the Sinclair family,” he finally decided to trust her, “I moved my kids away from this place because I think they were in danger,” he clicked his tongue, “I’m sorry but…” he trailed off when she rushed to him and held the lapels of his jacket.

“Exactly!” she started crying, “I need to save my baby, Gabriel. He… he needs help.”

Gabriel went still for a moment. Shane’s boy needed help?

“Listen… I don’t want to hear what happened to that child and I already feel sorry for you two, but I can’t do much …”

“No need to be an asshole anymore!” she hissed turning into a mama bear, “Just because you saved your children doesn’t mean you can’t save mine. If in the future, any of your kids will need help then maybe …maybe they will get it because their father did something good to someone else, in the past?”

Gabriel felt guilty. Sheila and her son were in trouble because of him. He had already lost Naila, and Sheila lost Shane. He saved his kids and now maybe it was time to save hers as well.

“Fine!” he gave up, “What should I do? What do you expect me to do?”

“Call Nina out! I mean just make her leave the house and keep her outside for one hour. That much time is enough to escape,” she joined her hands, “Please help me, Gabriel. You are the only one who can do this. I came here yesterday but the gates were locked. Tonight when I saw you, I got back my hopes. Please, Gabriel,” she kept begging him and he stood there confused.

He could easily call Nina out by using some excuse.

“Fine!” he nodded and saw the first smile on the woman’s face whose beauty had dimmed after Shane left her, “I’m ready to do it.”

“Thank you. Thank you, Gabriel!”

Nina was enjoying her time with Alex. He wasn’t still talking to her and had slowly started asking for food through gestures. She could see the pain in Sheila’s eyes.

You snatched my husband, now enjoy the pain, bitch! She used to think with a smile and enjoy Sheila’s misery.

Alex had just gone to his room for an afternoon nap when her phone rang.

“Gabriel?” Why was he calling her now? Didn’t he think that she killed his wife?

“Hey, sweetheart,” Nina was somewhat startled when heard his amused voice, “Interested in meeting me?”

He sounded like the old Gabriel who used to love her and was crazy about her.

Meeting Gabriel, leaving Alex and Sheila behind? No, it was a risk!

“Hey, what’re you thinking?” he spoke again when she didn’t respond, “Be ready. I’m coming to pick you up!”
