Chapter 130- Fumigation
"Mar! What are you saying?" Sophie thought her friend had lost her mind, "Are you crazy."
"No, I’m not. I ... I no longer want to go on that date with Rafael," she mumbled.
Rafael didn’t know what to say.
He had somewhat guessed that this decision was based on the nightmare she had last night. The problem was that he was trying hard to be her friend so that she could open up. He wasn’t planning to force her.
Trust can’t be forced on someone, it must be earned.
He was trying hard to go slow with her. But every time either her smile used to entangle him in its charm, or her chubby body used to do things to him in unexplainable ways.
He could hear the two women arguing with each other. Poor Sophie was asking her to take back her decision.
"Don’t tell her that!" he snapped at Sophie, "If she doesn’t want to go then let it be. Take your time, princess."
The last statement was told in a very friendly way. He looked the least bit offended.
"Wh... what... you don’t mind that I said no to your date?" Marissa asked him in disbelief.
Her eyes searched his face for any sign of disappointment. Even with Valerie, he was known for his cold demeanor with everyone else. But all she could see was a soft smile on his face, "For me, your happiness is more important, Marissa. By the way, if you allow me, can I take kids with me?"
