章 59: 59- A Mess

After Rafael left, the silence still lingered in the air. Gerard gave a confusing look to Flint, "What!"

Flint snapped at him, "Don't act like a fool, Gerard. We all know he resembles Alex a lot!"

"Resembles, Alex?" Gerard repeated.

"I'll get us some beer," Sophie once again left Marissa alone and went to the kitchen.

"You contacted the kids' father?" He seemed to have difficulty wrapping his head around the fact.

"No, I didn't. He contacted us," Marissa brought him to the couch, "now tell me about your business trip. This one took longer," 

She mouthed a silent thank you to Sophia who was handing over the beer cans to them. 

"I know, Marrisa. And I missed you every minute of it!" Sophia wanted to roll her eyes. This dude knew Marissa never encouraged his advances and still he was reminding her how much he missed her.

"You look tired," Sophie remarked and took another sofa right across him, folding her legs under her.
