Mr. President You Are The Daddy Of My Triplets novel Chapter 492

Chapter 492: 492- Priceless

Rafael’s eyes fluttered open, adjusting to the dim morning light filtering through the curtains. He turned his head and found Marissa staring at their daughter’s face.

Even in his half-sleep state, he could detect longing in her eyes. His eyes darted to Aniya, who lay curled up between them. Her soft breathing was quite audible in the room.

"You’re awake," he murmured, keeping his voice low, "Did you even sleep last night?"

Marissa didn’t move her eyes away from her face, "I did sleep but kept waking up to check on her," Rafael couldn’t blame her. Not when he also kept doing the same throughout the night.

"She is so beautiful," He heard Marissa’s voice and brushed a stray curl from Aniya’s forehead.

He sighed when he felt a bittersweet ache in his chest, "I still can’t believe that she is here."

They both lay there quietly, not willing to move or make a sound.

"I should make breakfast," Rafael finally said, but did not attempt to leave his bed.

Marissa started shaking her head, "Umm hmm. No. Stay..."

He rested his head on the pillow, "Yeah. I don’t even know how to get up anymore."

Marissa let out a soft chuckle and laced her fingers with his over the blanket. Keeping her focus on Aniya’s face, she held his hand and brought it to her lips to kiss it.

"Why did they say that she had..." She couldn’t even say the word, but Rafael understood. She wanted to say ’died’.

"Yeah. I need to know this too," he nodded with a sad smile. For some reason, Marissa shuddered.

Many years ago, they were shown a small body that was unrecognizable. According to the police, a container burned in mid-sea, killing all the people who were in it— including their daughter.

He even wanted to do a DNA test but had to stop due to Marissa’s deteriorating condition after the news.

Their family fell apart. Kids took time to recover from the shock. However, Rafael and Marissa?

They could never get out of the trauma. It stayed there, deep inside their hearts. Hurting every part and every organ of their bodies.

For the longest time, the couple kept blaming themselves for the mishap in their lives.

His eyes moved back to his daughter’s face. Time stretched as they watched Aniya, soaking in every detail of her face.

The cute curve of her nose, the flutter of her lashes, the lines forming on her forehead when her body stirred a little.

Very slowly, her lashes flickered before she opened her eyes. A slow smile crept to her lips when she saw those two faces staring at her intently.

She had dreamed of this moment for the longest time. The difference was in the faces that belonged to Alaric and Valerie.

"You guys are awake..." she mumbled, stretching, "And staring at me..." she remarked in amusement.

Marissa cupped her cheek, "We missed you, sweetheart."

Aniya let out a small laugh, "I’m not going anywhere."

Her father grinned, ruffling her hair, "That’s good, princess. Because we’re not letting you out of our sight."

Marissa leaned in, pressing a kiss to her forehead, "And we’re definitely not leaving this bed."

"The point is... You three should stay in bed and enjoy," Ariel playfully flipped an empty plate and offered it to Aniya "No one’s is leaving this room today." _{free𝑤ebnovel.com}
