Chapter 60
60 60- My Shoulders
Marissa swallowed hard and turned tophie who was hurriedly fixing her disheveled hair and that reminded
Marissa of her own hair.
She started brushing her fingers through her tangles and tried to smile, “Oh, Rafael. I … we…. weren’t expecting you…” she said with a shrug and realized that he was staring towards her shoulder.
She followed his gaze and found that the oversized t–shirt she was wearing was slipping off, exposing her smooth shoulder.
With a faltered smile she quickly covered it, but that sleeve fell down again.
“P… please sit down,” she left the stool abruptly, “Oh, you can sit in the living room too…” She looked at Sophie in panic who was now nodding her head like an
obedient student.
“Can I go and wake up kids?” he asked raising a brow and she quickly nodded.
“Yes. Yes. Why not. Come,” the plan was to let Rafael

The way has green orbs were focused on her face, shr felt her cheeks heating up. She needed to move hare attention to something else so is here Baste, she went
ahead, almost gluing him with the doorframe to open the door to the kids‘ room.
Rafael gave her a tight–lipped smile, gesturing toward her chest with his eyes. “That’s

ses this.”
Marissa looked down and found her assets jiggling during the movement. She quickly covered her chest with one arm and her eyes got to his face where she could see amusement dancing in his eyes.
Before she could say anything, he had gotten inside the kids‘ room with a chuckle.

When she came out of her room after dressing up decently, she found commotion in the living room. Rafael and the kids were placing plates and cutlery on the dining table.
Rafael was playfully giving them directions.
Abi and Ariel were still clad in their pajamas while Alex had changed into shorts and a t–shirt. He wasn’t as chirpy but was equally helping his father and sisters.
“Mom!” Abigail squealed and came running to her.

He was aware that Marissa was getting uncomfortable by these shocking questions, and he couldn’t hold his kids‘ tongues, but he could try to shift their attention
to ice cre SID
“Now whoever arrives late at the i
will get melted
ice cream” After the announcement Ariel and Alex ran to their respective chairs while Rafael hurriedly carried Ali in fairs ar making her wural with delight
Wartsnai felt releved when she was kinda busy scooping ice cream from the tubs Flint and Sophie also took
their seats and Rafael served there Waffles
“How is it?” Rafari asked Magail when she took the
first spoon
“It’s delicious” she showed him a thumbs tags
“Yes, Daddy Ariel agreed, “This is the best breakfast I
ever had. You are the best.”
Marissa felt a little hurt but didn’t let it show on her
face. She had been feeding them homemade meals for most of the days up till now and they never
appreciated it
“Dad Someday you should take us to the park. My
wadh bull of waffles.
“Yeah she is right: Anel nodded and took a spoonful of ice cream, “they even kiss their moms in the park
“No, they don’t!” Abigail argued and the topic of discussion was again kissing!
Marissa wanted to roll her eyes, Her children nev behaved this way in front of anyone,
“Anel! Abil Finish your food!” she tried to sound a little stern, but they didn’t even bother to acknowledge her
“James father does kiss his mother in the park!” Ariel said loudly,
Abigail dropped her spoon on her plate, “James father once kissed Sheldon’s mom too in the park!”
Marissa couldn’t take it anymore and left the living room covering her mouth with her palm as if she was choking.
She wanted to hide in the kitchen. Holding the sink, she at last took a sigh of relief and started laughing without making any sound,
However, she frowned when felt a presence right behind her. She spun around only to find Rafael
60 60- My Shoulders
standing there so closely that her face almost bumped into his chest.
“I’m so sorry,” she rolled her lips between her teeth, “I don’t know what got into them!”
Without a word, Rafael’s arms were wrapping around her waist pulling her to him, “It’s ok. They are only kids. But I guess we need to inform James mom that her husband kisses Sheldon’s mom in the park.”
Clutching his t–shirt in her fists, Marissa laughed hard and hid her face in his chest. For a moment Rafael
looked down on her shaking shoulders and then smiled.
You just need to stay happy, Marissa. I swear I will take every trouble of yours on my shoulders.
