Chapter 69
Chapter 69 – Daddy, Who Is Line (Anj‘s POV)
I was done cooking the lemon chicken and almost finishing with the sd when they entered the kitchen.
I was just thinking of going to the girls to bathe them, but they were all done taking a bath and had
changed into cute baby blue dresses. “How can I help?” Sky asked, going from one child to another,
brushing and pulling their hair into a ponytail. “Hmm...” He murmured, looking at the result of his work,
and shook his head. He peeked at what the girls were doing, and they were all busy ying y–Doh
y. “Good job, Daddy!” I smiled, gazing at him as he stood beside me to check what else he could do
for dinner. “Where did you learn to take care of small girls?” I asked, teasing him as I nced at my
girls.
“When my mom left us with a little sister to take care of,” He picked up a sliced carrot and put it in his
mouth.
“How‘s the carrot?” I asked, changing the topic when I read the sadness in his eyes. Suddenly, I wanted
to ask how Olivia was, but he would wonder why I got to know his little sister.
“Mmm...” He muttered, standing behind me.
I had to tilt my head to the side to look at him, and when he slid his arms to my waist and wrapped his
arms around my body, I shivered, wanting to melt in him.
“What?” I croaked that I had to clear my throat to speak again. “What‘s wrong with the
carrot?”
“Nothing,” He smiled as he rested his head on my shoulder. “I‘m just wondering.” I put down the two
wooden spoons I used to mix the vegetables and turned around, facing Sky. I raised my hands, making
sure he was looking at me as I bit the edge of the transparent disposable glove in my hand while taking it
off my hands.
He chuckled, parting his lips.
“I...” he breathed out and continued, “I already ced the kids‘ clothes in the washing machine, and
umm... I took out your clothes inside... and “He hissed, closing his eyes and licking his lips as his eyes
told me he was on fire. He moved his head closer to my ears and whispered, “Are you wearing –” “No,” I
pushed him gently and walked past him. “I‘m not.” I turned to my children. “Come on, wash your hands;
let‘s have an early dinner.” They ced the y back in the cup and ran to the sink, still chatting about
their n of what to do with the y. Sky followed me to the dining room with the tter of lemon
chicken while I brought the vegetable sd. I set the table quietly, and again, he helped me ce tes
and cutleries, but I would catch him stealing nces at me from time to time. “Say it, sky. What do you
want to say?” I asked, not smiling at him, nervously arranging the spoons and fork beside the tes. He
shook his head, wickedly smiling at me. “Just thinking about you, Anj. Tonight ”
I crossed my arm to my chest and gave him a sullen look. “Either you behave, Mr. Mars, or we
are going home tonight,” I emphasized the word tonight so he would know I was serious.
“Ha?” Selene cried. “Why are we going home tonight, Mommy? I like it here.”
Sky kissed her head and helped her sit on the chair. “Mommy‘s just kidding, baby. Who‘s going to say
grace tonight?” He asked, sitting down when all the girls were settled in their seats.
“My turn,” Lyra Helene said excitedly.
She started praying, but after a minute, Sky opened his eyes and looked at me, suppressing a burst of
laughter.
“The food‘s getting cold,” He mouthed, but I shook my head, looking at my daughter as she finished her
prayers.
I pressed my lips, stopping myself fromughing at Sky. He should be there with the girls before
sleeping. Once, Anya and Dn joined us, curious as to what was taking me long just to put my kids on
the bed. She could not stop herself fromughing as she told me she could have finished cleaning the
house, and still, they were not yet done with their prayers.

After giving my daughters food, I focused on my meal, ignoring Sky while his foot kept touching my legs.
He only stopped when I gripped the knife I used to cut the chicken meat. “So, what are you going to do
next week?” He asked, starting a conversation with my children when he finally behaved.
“Uncle Dn‘s bringing us to the amusement park, and he‘s bringing Mom to dinner,” Leyanne said
excitedly.
“Really?” Sky uttered and raised his eyebrows as he turned his gaze at me.
“Uh–huh!” Lyra Helene answered him. “I think Uncle Dn wants to date Mommy,” she twitched her lips,
not understanding the whole situation.
“Mrs. Salvador told us before that Mommy‘s free to date anyone because you never visit us,” Selene
pouted, sighing as she shared with us her thoughts.
“Don‘t believe Mrs. Salvador,” he said, picking the chicken with his fork. “Unless your Mommy doesn‘t
like me anymore, she‘s free to date anyone.” My daughters went quiet for a while, and Selene turned her
head to her father. “Daddy, who‘s Line?”
I stopped chewing my food and lowered my gaze, waiting for Sky to answer the question.
“Where did you hear that name?” Sky asked her as he continued to eat as if the name was nothing to
him.
“Inte. Uncle Finn let us use his smartphone, and he taught us how to use it... and umm… Leyanne
searched your name, and the news said you‘re getting married to her.” “Baby, you don‘t believe
everything you read on the Inte. I love your mommy,” He said, causing me to raise my head and
re at him. “That‘s too much!” I mouthed at him, although what I really wanted to do was to scream at
him.
He ignored me.
My children grinned at him when he smiled, but every cell in my body panicked. “What are you doing,
Sky?” I looked at him, but he ignored me. “Who likes ice cream after this?” He smiled at my children as if
I did not exist at the dining table.
“Me!” They all answered, not realizing their mother‘s heart was in danger.
My body jerked, startled when he grabbed my hand. “How about you, mommy? Can we eat ice cream
aler?”
I only heaved a deep sigh, looked at Sky‘s eyes darkening in desire, and wondered what kind of ice
cream we should eat that would not melt immediately.
