Nina took a sip of her coffee, "Do you know why Marissa is taking advantage of the situation?" she asked Valerie who didn’t seem interested in her coffee anymore. But Nina didn’t mind.
"This time she is more groomed and keeping her senses cool. The moment a person panics, he loses the victory that was once within his reach.
Last time Marissa lost, because we were not only well planned but confident while Marissa? She was underconfident.
This time she isn’t that coward girl anymore, Valerie. So, let’s accept it. If she is smart, then we need to be smarter," Nina poked the side of her forehead, pointing towards her brain.
Valerie watched the black liquid in her cup, "And how can we do that, Nina?"
Nina smiled and finished her coffee in a single chug.
"You are smart! Think of it, silly," Nina passed her a meaningful glance and raised a shoulder subtly.
Valerie’s eyes snapped up, "Do you mean... I should..."
"Yes," there was suppressed excitement in the older woman’s voice, "Of course. Now, see! Your brain is working. At last! Hah!" Nina clapped her hands, "Congratulations!"
"How will I seduce him when ..." Valerie trailed off.
"How do wives seduce their partners? Go shopping. Buy a good lingerie collection. Wear small clothes in the office. Everyone is supposed to follow a certain dress code. But not you. You are his wife. You are allowed to wear whatever you want dammit!" Nina hit her palm on the table.
The only person in the room except them, the Barista guy raised his head from his accounts ledger and eyed them.
Nina suppressed the giggle bubbling up in her throat, "Let’s not blame him. He isn’t used to seeing the customers in this shitty café."
Valerie looked up at the ceiling and laughed, "I agree."
They got quiet after that.
"So, what else should I do after wearing that revealing stuff?" Valerie inquired, her voice laced with confusion.
"Keep him busy. Away from Marissa," Nina whispered, "Once you get pregnant, no one will be able to challenge your position."
Valerie nodded, "I hope this works."
"It will. Even if it doesn’t, we have nothing to lose. In fact, I have a plan," Nina confided in her secretly, "Instead of going to our hotel, how about we pay Rafael a visit at his hotel? Let’s surprise him."
"Good idea," Valerie heaved a long sigh and this time held Nina’s hand, "Thank you for lending an ear, Nina."
Nina bobbed her head with a smile, "Don’t be a fool. Now go and wash your face. I’ll ask him to make you another coffee."
Feeling grateful, Valerie left her chair and went to the little bathroom that only had one mirror. She scanned her face, her cheeks had turned black from the kohl, smudged by her tears.
She splashed water on her face, several times.
Though she knew, Nina could not be trusted. But right now, she was thankful that she was there with her.
What if I visit Rafael and insist that he take me to his room? I’ll give him the excuse that I’ve something important to discuss with him. Once we are alone, then I can cry and do some emotional blackmailing. He might be aloof to the world, but he had been a softie around me.
Nina stuttered initially, trying to cover the shock that must be on her face, "Uh... of course.... Obviously. Ha-ha. Why won’t I? After all, you are my daughter-in-law." free𝑤ebnovel.com

I was into the story but then the translator who was translating it for whatever language to English stopped translating half the words are half English and another language it's very hard to follow a book when you can't understand what the written word is translators need to do better...
