Chapter 255 - Two Hindred And Fifty-five: The Patient Dog (2/2)
”That woman you fought with, I heard she's with Niklaus. Wouldn't she burst the news to him?” He was concerned about the news of her having children getting out.
”No, she wouldn't,” Reina answered, swirling the drink in her grasp.
”How can you be so sure?” Sakuzi asked, going to sit on her sofa. He was not getting any younger - damn, his waist.
”Call it women intuition or something. Jennifer has been with Niklaus for years and must have heard of me being pregnant for him before I died...” she stopped to take another sip, ” Year's later, a woman who looks like Maya with a child identical to Niklaus appears out of nowhere, even the dumbest person on earth would figure that out as well. Jennifer's hopelessly in love with Niklaus, she wouldn't dare to tell him what she saw and would do everything to keep it a secret else it's game over for her,”
Sakuzi was impressed, he nodded his head. She thought everything over.
”Though, I have something to ask you, father, ” She dropped the glass on the desk she was leaning against, her expression serious.
Sakuzi prepared himself as well, his daughter had an important issue to discuss with him judging from her taut facial expression.
”What is it, Princess? ” he asked.
”What do you intend to do with Niklaus,” She went straight to the point, ”You're not planning on killing him, are you?” One could sense the anxiety in her voice
”What do you think?” questioned the less tensed Sakuzi.
”You can't! As much as he committed a crime against you, he's still the father of my kids - he can't die,” she insisted.
”He'd suffer for what he did, not die,” Sakuzi informed her.
”That's better,” Reina was relieved. As much as she hated Niklaus, she does not wish for him to die.
”Also, there's another thing, ”
”What's it?”
”You might have to take care of the kids for a while,”
”No worries, I'll take care of them. But why?”
”Niklaus is highly suspicious and has begun his investigation. As much as my activities are erased, my going in and out of here puts us at risk of being discovered. I need to find a place - a normal place,” She emphasized, knowing her father doesn't understand the word ”moderation” when it comes to her comfort.
”I have some apartments in the city. Feel free to choose one. Contact Emerald and he would give you the details,” Valentino told her.
”Thank you so much father, I wonder what I would have done without you,”
Reina walked over to him, stopping to give him a proper hug, rubbing his back affectionately.
”You don't need to thank me. After all, I get to spend enough time with those two cockroaches,” He was joyful.
”Those two cockroaches are my kids, father. Never you call them that,” she added, ”Also warn your men not to use any vulgar language around my kids. I want to train wonderful children, not gangsters, ”
Reina had been here for years and knew his men vomited offensive words without considering those around.
”Alright, would do,”
”Thanks so much, dad, I'll go and get my bags ready to leave. Also, I'll visit a lot to check up on my kid's,”
Speaking of the kids :
”You know you can't be angry at me forever,” Ailee coaxed Allen who turned the other way.
”Seriously, come on, you got to admit that we work like two wheels on a bicycle, right?” she tried again.
This time, Allen devoted his attention to the game playing on his phone.
Yet, Ailee didn't give up, ”Look at this; I came up with an idea, you execute it, isn't that a perfect teamwork?” she smiled at him.
Silence.
”Fine, I'll help you find Dad,”
That plucked his attention.
”How do you intend to pursue that?” he asked her, hooked by that sudden proposal.
”I don't need to do that, mom has done the work already,”
”She knows who Dad is, we just need to know what she knows,” He figured out the rest of her plan.
”Exactly,” she nodded at him, ”And you know where she keeps all her secrets,”
”Mom's laptop,” his eyes shone, ”I need to get to her laptop and copy all the information in there,” At once, he picked up his phone, searching around for a USB cord.
”Whoa, slow down buddy,” Ailee placed both hands on his shoulder, halting him,
”You might have the high IQ but I got both IQ and EQ altogether, so listen to me” she kind of bragged.
”What if you successfully get the information but mom catches you while leaving, what are you going to say?” Ailee asked him.
”Come up with a smart lie,” was his response.
”Exactly, she'd catch you right away. Mom knows us too well and both of you just fought - again- and would guess whatever you did in her office can't be good. Result: busted,” she explained to him.
”So, what do you suggest I do?” Allen inquired.
”Wait for the right time,” Ailee smiled, ”The patient dog eats the fattest bone,”
