Chapter 231- She Was Richer Than Them!
Marissa didn’t realize that her eyes got filled with hot tears and slowly those little droplets started sliding down her face.
"Wh...what do you m-mean?"
Along with kids, even Dean seemed mesmerized by it. Rafael didn’t wait for him to leave and went ahead with it.
It was meant to be a family’s intimate moment, but Dean was there to witness it.
"This was meant to be your birthday gift but at that time you were so disturbed that I didn’t bring up the subject. I have been after this property since the day I came to know that you and Alex liked it."
His gaze shifted towards his children who were standing there like mini statues, "This is for all of you."
He told them, trying to control his own trembling voice, "The next time, if I do something horrible, you won’t end up on the streets, Marissa. That mistake won’t be repeated, Str...strawberry."
Marissa’s tears were falling on the ground and Rafael was trying to control his.
"Please stop crying. And help me, standing up. I can’t feel my leg anymore," Marissa who wanted to wipe her nose, was horrified and hurriedly helped Rafael on his feet.
At some distance, Alex rolled his eyes and groaned in irritation, "Come on, Daddy. It was meant to be an emotional moment, you spoiled it with your cheesiness."
"Sorry, son," Rafael drawled with a sheepish grin and pulled Marissa to him, "my legs were going numb."
