Chapter 639



Winters’ attention was drawn the instant she heard that name. She turned to see the kids surrounding the girl who seemed to be around the age of fourteen and matched every description that Marcel gave her.

She was here, Winters expelled the breath that she had been holding in. Now that it was confirmed that Chloe was at the party, all they had to do was follow the plans and make sure it went well.

With the children distracted, Winters secretly took a photo of her and sent it to Marcel right away with the caption,

[Target secured]

Minutes later, her phone pinged with a message

[She’s my sister, not a target]

Ugh, whatever. As far as they were on a mission, Chloe remained a target to her until they got her out of here, and then, she would become Marcel’s babysitter to her. Marcel was just being grumpy lately.

Another message came,

.....

[Do not tell her anything, leave her be. I’ll be there soon and handle everything myself. Just keep an eye on her.]

“Of course, I’ll keep an eye on her. That’s my job anyway, a babysitter,” Winters muttered under her breath sarcastically.

“What’s your job, baby?”

“Jesus Christ!” Winters almost jumped out of her skin. She placed her hand on her chest while secretly slipping the phone into her pocket. She said to him, “Someone should definitely place a bell on you.” She didn’t even hear him come in.

“If that someone is you, I wouldn’t mind,” Akim smiled, leaning down to kiss her and Winters opened up to him, nearly deepening the kiss until she remembered that there were kids in the house – and Reina was going to kill them.

The both of them pulled apart, laughing awkwardly. The blush on their faces proved that they remembered yesterday night and how wonderful the sex had been.

“You are not dressed for the party,” Akim noted, staring at her appearance.

“Dressed for the party?” She looked at him, “I don’t understand?”

Akim sighed dramatically, looking at her with disbelief. He said to her, “I knew this was going to happen and that was why I made plans already.”

“You made plans?” Winters tugged the strands away from her face, “Aren’t I supposed to babysit and take care of the girls? I didn’t know that I was permitted to party too?”

“Well, who said that you can’t babysit and party at the same time? Moreover, I’m here...” He pointed to his chest confidently, “And I would make sure we go through it together,”

Aww, he was so romantic, Winters swoon mentally. He was the best boyfriend in the world and she wasn’t saying that just because he was her boyfriend, Akim deserved it.

“Now, let’s go. You should see your dress, you are going to love it.” He placed both hands on her shoulder and was about to move her when Winters shouted, “Stop!”

Akim halted at once, looking confused.

“What is wrong?” He swallowed nervously, “Do you not like the idea that I bought you a dress? Well, it’s alright, I should have asked for your permission first. I just thought that I would surprise you.”

The crestfallen look on Akim’s face brought out the protective instinct inside of her. He looked like a sweet, abandoned dog with puppy eyes. Damn it, why did she have to look at him? Of all the boyfriends in the world that she could have, she had to choose one that made her weak.

“No, it’s not you.” She explained to him, “I was meaning to ask, who’s the young girl?” Winters intentionally pointed at Chloe. She wanted to know if Akim knew of the girl’s real identity.

He lifted his head and followed the direction of her hand, “Oh her?” Akim said, “She is Reina’s guest and I wouldn’t be surprised if my aunt decides to adopt her at the end of the day.”

“Really?” Winters muttered, lost in her thoughts. So the real question was if Reina was willing to adopt her knowing full well that she was Marcel’s sister. Or perhaps it was all Akim’s assumption.

“Yeah. Really. By the way, why do you ask?”

“Huh?” Winters was roused from her thoughts. “I was just wondering if I would have to keep my eyes on her as well,” She quickly thought of an excuse.

“Probably. But don’t worry, we’d do it together. Now, let’s go, come check out your dress.” Akim pulled her away when she should be watching over Chloe and her movements. Marcel was definitely going to kill her when he found out.

Akim had not been kidding about the dress, it was a lovely lavender maxi dress. The woven poly shapes a pleated, surplice bodice, fitted waist, and cascading maxi skirt. The dress also had adjustable straps and a hidden back zipper. The cherry on the top, Winters wore it with sneakers, thanks to the fact she wouldn’t survive on heels while taking care of the ruly kids and Akim was totally in support.

How did she even get such a lovely boyfriend? Winters knew that she didn’t deserve him and it was heartbreaking that she would have to leave him after tonight. She didn’t mean to hurt him, you know, not after his bad experience in his relationship. But there are some things she couldn’t control and their separation was inevitable.

Perhaps, if she had taken on a different career, they would have been together and dated as normal people do. Knowing this might be the last time she would be close to Akim like this, Winters never left his side while keeping an eye on the kids at the same time. They talked and he introduced her to some of the guests at the party.

He took her to the dance floor and they slowly danced, enjoying every minute that they could spend together until she felt her phone ring in her purse, and Winters got reminded of the reason why she was here today. She looked in the direction where she had left the kids and Diego and Chloe were missing.

Oh no.

“The kids are gone,”

Winters broke apart from the dance and stomped over to Ella and Elsa, “Where is Diego?!” She demanded.

But the silly snickers from the kids told her that she was not getting any answer from them anytime soon. Whatever that had planned, they were all in it together.

She turned to Akim, “Keep your eyes on them, I’ll go find the others.” Winters left to resume her search.

She lost Chloe, Marcel was going to kill her, that was the thought in Winters’s head as she searched around for them. There were too many people and a large ground to cover, leaving Winters nearly frustrated.

It wasn’t until Winters got to the children’s playground, that she finally saw them. It was the two of them, Diego and Chloe, and they were seated on the swing all alone.

Winters was about to call out their names when before her very eyes, she saw the kids kiss under the moonlight and her jaw nearly dropped to the ground.

“Oh boy,” Winters breathed shakily, still not believing what she was seeing. She should have known! But then, Chloe and Diego? Marcel was definitely going to flip.

Being in-laws with the Spencers and Sakuzi was not in his plans.
