Chapter 58: 58- I'm A Nobody!

"HI there," his eyes lit up as soon as they found Marissa. Flint stepped aside and gestured for him to come in.

Ignoring every other person in the room, Rafael headed straight to her and handed her the bouquet. 

Holding the heavy bouquet Marissa was about to utter a thank you when he leaned forward to kiss her cheek, "For the kids' sake," he whispered with a wink and then got a little louder, "By the way you look beautiful."

Marissa felt giddiness in the pit of her stomach. This was the same feeling she used to experience when he used to visit Valerie. 

He gave gentle nods to Sophie and Flint then turned his attention to the kids who had now stood up from their small chairs.

The girls were staring at him with awestruck eyes while the boy was trying his best not to look much impressed.

Marissa felt Rafael going still for a moment. He swallowed hard and then turned to Marissa maybe asking silently for her help.
