Sitting in the car, Marissa waited for Dean to receive her call. Rafael was sitting beside her, holding her hand, their fingers intertwined.
This was the best choice for her not to leave him alone and take him alongside.
Kids were at Sophie’s so she couldn’t send Rafael there.
"I’m sorry. But please take care of the meetings today. Especially the ones that involve Iron rods issue for the bricks," she explained to Dean busily, checking something on her tab.
"What do you mean? They’ll be pissed if they don’t find you here!" The sharp edge in Dean’s voice reached her ear and she placed the phone a little away from her face.
"I’m sorry and I trust you, Dean," she said controlling her laughter. After Sophie, if there was one person she had to trust, that was Dean.
He could get stern with her, scold her but ultimately give up to her stupid demands.
"You are a she-devil and you owe me big time," he retorted like a nagging, complaining wife.
"And you are a darling!" she murmured warmly and disconnected the call. When she tilted her head, she found Rafael watching her.
"You like him. Don’t you?"
She tried to detect jealousy or possessiveness in his voice, "Yeah I do." She squeezed his fingers, "But you should know that nobody can replace you. Not in the past. Not now. Not ever!"
His face lit up and he straightened but then realized something and bent a little to kiss her cheek, "Sorry. Couldn’t resist."
Marissa held back the smile. The cunning man was playing it safe. First, it was her hand then her boob, and now his lips had reached her cheek.
"Ma’am?" she looked ahead when her driver called her, "Where to?"
With a sigh, she closed her eyes for a moment and then looked back at Rafael while answering her chauffeur, "Take us to Ashua Village. I need to find my answers there."
Rafael cocked his head slightly in surprise, "Are we going to Ashua?"
"Yeah!" she gave him an over-brightened smile, "Excited to meet Mala and Talia, honey?"
***
Marissa could see the fondness on the girls’ faces when they met Rafael. The elder one whose name was Talia was continuously staring at her maybe trying to see what Rafael saw in her.
She was not the same old Marissa anymore who was underconfident due to people’s judgmental looks. She not only faced the family bravely but also thanked John wholeheartedly for saving her husband.
The younger girl whose name was Mala, kept teasing Rafael about the other girls of the village.
Walking on the muddy path, Marissa saw Rafael talking to Mala with an easygoing smile while John was telling Marissa about the beautiful village.
Talia was walking behind them maybe checking Marissa’s ass. Ha-ha.
Marissa wanted to slap herself for such a cheap thought for the girl. She knew this was teenage infatuation and would get over with time.
Yeah, because he always enjoyed Legos with his children.

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...
