Chapter 51


    Chapter 51 – The Hired Daddy (Anj‘s POV) As the small gymnasium was slowly filled with teachers and


    staff, parents, and their kids, I could feel my heart in my throat. I sat nervously at the first step of the


    bleacher bench and watched my triplets y and run around, looking adorable in their pigtails. Who


    would know thatst night, Leyanne proudly recited the multiplication table, Lyra Helene, the periodic


    table, and Selene entertained me with solving a sudoku table? I may have lost my opportunity to hone


    my abilities and skills because of what happened to me, but I am not letting my kids lose their chance.


    But today, it was the least of my problem. In a few minutes, the event will start, and the big tarp with the


    words ‘Family Day‘ was like a sharp knife piercing my heart. I could not think and breathe as I saw my


    girls stop running and watched other kidsing with their mother and father.


    Leyanne turned her head to me, her eyes hopeful that a man, iming their father, would enter therge


    entrance of the gymnasium. Sky was myst option, but with him saying no to me, I could not force him


    to be with my children today.


    From afar, I could see Dn looking at me, surely not listening to Anya as she talked to him about


    school–rted things. I evaded his eyes and smiled nervously at my kids, shrugging my shoulders and


    thinking of just asking them to run away with me before the event started.


    When the hosts went upstage and tested their microphones, tears began welling in my eyes.


    This is it! I swallow hard, closing my eyes as I stand up and drag my feet toward my kids, breathing hard


    as I ready myself to talk to them about leaving the gymnasium. This is not fair for them, but joining a


    family day event with only one parent present will be painful.


    I was five steps away from my children when someone grabbed my forearm, turning me around and


    surprising me. Still panting but looking gorgeously handsome and delicious, Sky smiled at me and


    cupped my face.


    “Pumpkin, I‘m sorry foringte,” He breathed out, gliding his hand to my nape and his other hand to


    my neck, and nted a kiss on my lips. “I had to find someone to attend the board meeting, and...” He


    finally stopped talking and chuckled. “My acting is too much, right?” He whispered, wiping the tears that


    rolled down my cheeks. I nodded, still crying as I put my arms on his neck, hugging him like missing him


    very much. The truth? I miss him every day. He moved slightly away from me and smirked. “I realized I’m


    a lunatic guy,” he said and lowered his head and met the eyes of my children, looking at him with shock


    on their faces.


    “Mommy, why is Sky here?” Leyanne asked, looking at him with lots of questions in her eyes.

    He squats to reach her height. “I had to show up, or else your mom will divorce me.”


    “But we only hired you,” Lyra Helene said, and he surprised her by showing the coins they


    paid him and cing them back in their pockets, except Selene‘s. She was just looking at Sky, not


    walking near him. “It‘s a long story,” Sky breathed out, looking at one of my girls, not believing our small


    act. She twitched her lips, lowered her eyes, and fidgeted with her hands. “You‘re not our dad,” she


    whispered. “If you‘re our dad, you would have recognized us the first time you saw us, but you didn‘t.”


    “I‘m sorry,” Sky said, ncing at me as if telling me to help him. “I‘m sorry, Selene. It‘s a long –“He turned


    to Leyanne when she gasped. “How did you know?” Her eyes widened as she asked him. He chuckled.


    “You‘re my children. How would I not know, Leyanne.” “I‘m not Leyanne. I‘m Lyra Helene,” she teased


    him, testing Sky. He tousled her hair. “Nice try, kiddo, but you‘re my Leyanne, and she‘s my Lyra Helene,”


    he said, holding her hand.


    “How would we know mommy didn‘t hire you to be our daddy today?” Selene asked him, her tiny hands


    clenched into fists.


    “Yeah, how would we know it?” Dn asked, startling me when I turned to see him and Anya standing


    behind me. Anya smiled as she knew the truth, but as for Dn, we would deal with himter. Sky rose


    to his feet, looked at Dn, and walked toward me, and without any warning, he ced his palm at the


    back of my neck and his arm on my back, pushing me to him and molding his lips to my mouth.


    I close my eyes, tasting Sky‘s lips again, the only kiss I miss and long for many years. Before he could


    deepen the kiss, I moved slightly away from him and cupped his face. I smiled nervously at him.


    “I think that‘s enough proof?” I licked my lips. “Can I have more after the event?” he whispered, not


    taking his eyes from my lips.


    I chuckled, looking down when Selene tugged his pants, and when she got his attention, she


    raised her arms. He took her and carried her in his arms, kissing her cheek.


    “There‘s my baby girl.” He whispered, kissing her hair when she wrapped her tiny arms around his


    neck. Leyanne and Lyra Helene ran toward him and wrapped their arms around him. He bent on


    one knee, putting Selene down and hugging my three girls. If only Sky knew that my heart was


    overflowing with happiness, and with him now with us, even for a short time, I could not ask for


    anything more. I didn‘t know this would be such an overwhelming sight for me, seeing my


    children with their birth father without him knowing the truth.


    Anya pinched me on my waist, bringing me back to reality. “You have a lot of exining to do,


    girl.”


    I turned to them but avoided Dn‘s re at me.


    “I know...”
