Chapter 39
Chapter 39 – The Finale
(Anj‘s POV)
“Good morning, mommy!” Leyanne greeted, her eyes still closed as she walked toward the dining room
“Good morning! Just mommy?” I had toe to her to ensure her head would not bump the edge of the
table. Smelling my scent, she raised her arms, wanting me to carry her. I took her and sat her at the
table.
She opened her eyes, blinked her round eyes, and still sleepy, she greeted the others. “Good morning,
Aunt Anya. Good morning, Uncle Dn.”
“Good morning, Selene,” Anya greeted sweetly as she ced tes and cutleries on the table. “I‘m not
Selene,” Leyanne mumbled. “I‘m Leyanne,” She corrected, adjusting the brim of her eyesses.
“Hmm,” Dn knitted his eyebrows as he ced the scrambled eggs he had just made. “I thought
Selene wears the eyesses?” he asked amusingly.

Before I could exin that the three of them had eyesses, Selene came out of the bedroom, wearing
the same pajamas.
“Good morning!” she greeted cheerily and sat on the chair on her own.
“Mommy, I can‘t find my other slipper.” Lyra Helene came out,ining already in the early morning.
“Wait. I think I saw it under the couch,” Dn said, walking to the living room to get her other slipper.
“Here, Selene.”
“Thank you, Uncle Dn, but I‘m not Selene. I‘m Lyra Helene,” she smiled as she took the slipper from
him.
“Ha!” Anya beamed. “Good morning, Selene!” She greeted happily as she kissed Selene‘s cheek. “Yes! I
finally got it right.” She rolled her eyes at me,ughing as she gave me a cup of coffee.
Selene giggled. “You‘re funny, Aunt Anya.” “You‘ve been here for a week, but I still couldn‘t get your
name right,” Sheined, pulling the chair and smiling at me. “So... How‘s your new job at the
university?”
“I actually asked Dean Jones to put me in the research department, but one of the professors had some
sort of emergency, so she told me to handle the ss for a while,” I told her as I prepared sandwiches for
my daughters.
I could not help smiling when I noticed Anya and Dn watching me with awe.
“Peanut butter for you,” I gave the sandwich to Leyanne. “Peanut butter and Strawberry for you.” Selene
took the sandwich and ced it on her te. “And just strawberry for you,“I said, tapping Lyra Helene‘s
nose. She giggled as she took the sandwich from me. Among the three, Lyra Helene seemed to have
inherited her peanut allergy from Sky. I almost died of worry when I had to rush her to the
hospital, discovering she had an anaphctic reaction to it. Since then, I have always had to bring
epinephrine and ensure all the bags I used had it.
“No peanut for Lyra Helene,” Anya said, mentally taking note of it, and then she heaved a sigh. “Just no
peanuts for all of you.”
“I love peanuts,” Leyanne eximed, her eyes widened with worry that Anya won‘t buy them anymore.
“If your mom‘s here at home, she could recognize who is who, but in my case, you‘ve been with me
almost all day in school, yet I still can‘t perfect your names,” she exined. Anya and Dn are running
a school, a dreame true for Anya, and since I failed to do my part as her partner, Dn supported
her in putting up the school three years ago. “Just a week in school, but they‘re making their teachers
crazy already.” I sipped coffee while looking at my daughters. “Are you giving Aunt Anya and Uncle Dn
a hard time in school?”
Leyanne shook her head as she pursed her lips.

“They‘re bored, that‘s all. So, I‘m thinking of putting them in an advanced program.” Dn said, pulling a
chair to sit with us and finally having his chance to sip his coffee.
Selene flickered her eyes on him. “Uhm, Uncle Dn, why do you live here? Are you Aunt Anya‘s
husband?” She suddenly asked, causing Dn to choke on his coffee.
Anya guffawed, and I could only smile, staring at my children as they looked curiously at them. “Gosh!
I‘m gonna die early,” Anya wiped the corners of her eyes, afraid that her eyeshadows got smeared with
tears. “Uncle Dn has to sell his house to support Aunt Anya‘s crazy n.” She widened her eyes at
me, telling me in silence that it would not have happened if I didn‘t go crazy with my life. “Your grandma
Rose asked him to live with us for a while.” I sighed but managed to curve a smile on my lips as I looked
at Selene. “Apologize to Uncle Dn.”
“I‘m sorry, Uncle Dn,” she sighed as she apologized and flickered her eyes at me. “What is it?” I
asked, noticing the three pairs of round eyes looking at me. Lyra Helene pouted and lowered her head,
Selene pinned her eyes on the sandwich she was eating, and Leyanne avoided my gaze as she put
some scrambled eggs on her te.
“Mommy‘s not a fortune teller,” I reminded them as I took my cup. When I sipped my coffee, it was no
longer hot, and I was used to drinking it that way because I had to prioritize them first when having
meals.
“It must be because of their activity today,” Anya said, unsure if she would share it with me or not.
“What about it?” I asked her. I could not think of anything that would be difficult for the triplet.
Anya and Dn looked at each other.
“Uhm, it‘ll be Family Day next week and just the other week,” Anya cleared her throat. “The pupils
brought their mommy to school and introduced them to the ss,” She breathed out, not knowing how to
say it.
“Today, they have to introduce their daddy,” Dn said directly to me
I nodded, thickening my eyes somewhere else. Why on earth would they do such activity when not all
children have a father? I took my cell phone, pretended to browse the screen, and typed a message
“Are you texting daddy, mommy?” Lyra Helene asked excitedly.
“Uh huh,” I mumbled, wanting to cry as my heart wanted to escape from my throat. I swallowed hard,
hoping to put my heart back to my chest as I thought of another excuse for what happened to their
father.
“Have you seen your daddy before?” Dn asked, ncing at me and then at them.
Lyra Helene looked at the ceiling as she thought and then nodded. “Just his back.” “Just his back “Anya
blinked her eyes and faked a smile at me. “Why? Does daddy don‘t have a face?
“Daddy was in a hurry,” Selene answered. “He was going for a business trip in Vietnam and then to
China... and then to... around the world?” She looked at me.
“Yes, baby,” I smiled nervously.
“What exactly is your daddy‘s job?” Dn cut us, curious at what my girls would answer. “A
businessman,” Leyanne eximed. “He‘s a manager!” she said proudly.
“Ah!” Dn nodded and smiled at her. “Then, let‘s all wait for daddy toeter. I have always wanted
to meet him.”
Lyra Helene pulled a face and sighed. “Maybe he‘s noting today. Maybe he‘s still busy.” She
nced at me, looking sad.
I smiled nervously at her, wishing Dn would just stop and help me exin why their father could not
come today. I have never thought our daddy issue would make me feel so bad that it hurts so much.
“Daddy wille,” I assured her, standing up and cing my cup in the sink. They followed me, standing
up and giving me their tes. “Now, you all wait for me in the bedroom. I‘ll give you a bath after talking to
Aunt Anya.”
They nodded, hushing each other as they walked toward our bedroom.
I made sure they were gone before scowling at Dn. “I thought we‘re done about this topic, Dn?” I
asked angrily.
“I‘m sorry, okay? But Anj, you can‘t always lie to the girls,” he said, trying to voice calm, but I knew he
was only controlling his tone. “So, where are you getting a daddy?” Anya asked curiously. “Are you
asking some random guy to be their dad?”
I closed my eyes. “I‘m not. It‘s about time that this daddy has to die.” When they return home, I will tell
them the most significant lie ever. The finale!
“What?” Anya gawked at me, wanting to know if she heard it right I ignored her and turned my back on
them. Dn is right. All the lies about their father have to
