Chapter 70


    Chapter 70 – Sleeping Next To Me (Anj‘s POV)


    “Mommy, why are you in your working clothes?” Lyra Helene asked me when she entered the closet


    room as I was changing my clothes. I ced Sky‘s shirts and shorts in the hamper before turning to her,


    but she had already opened the cab.


    “Why don‘t you have clothes in your room?” she asked, then she turned to Sky when he came inside with


    my two girls. “Daddy, why doesn‘t mommy have clothes here?”


    “Mommy has!” eximed Leyanne as she opened one cab and found the shopping bags inside.


    “Mommy has not ced them in the cab yet.” My daughter excitedly took the bags out of the cab.


    “Ah... ah!” I panicked. “Kids,” These pieces of stuff are mine or used to be mine, but Sky didn‘t know


    about it. I looked at Sky worriedly. “I‘m sorry, Sky.” I caught him furrowing his forehead and then shaking


    his head. “It‘s okay. I‘ve been thinking of what to do with them anyway,” “Here!” Selene picked acy,


    sexy nightdress just because it was pink. “This is your favorite color.” She walked toward me, giving me


    the sleepwear. Sky could not help smiling at me when I lifted the nightdress. “Hot!” He mouthed, biting


    his lower lip.


    Lyra Helene gasped. “Mommy, your phone.” I saw Sky opening and closing his mouth, but she had


    already given me the cell phone. Wonderful and painful memories flooded when I saw my very first


    cellphone, but it got broken when he threw it on the wall. My eyebrows raised. “Oh!” I eximed. “You


    fixed it.”


    His eyebrows knitted. “How did you know?”


    “Mommy fixed phones for a living,” Leyanne answered, her head still on the paper bags as if looking for


    goodies.


    “You fixed phones? What are you a technician?” Skyughed at me. “No. Mr. Jimmy, our neighbor, is the


    technician. She taught mommy how to fix phones; sometimes he pays her money,” Leyanne exined.


    “She‘s a mommy of all trade.”


    Sky leaned on the wall, crossing his arms to his chest as he looked at my daughters with interest.


    “You mean Jack of all trade?” He smirked, but his eyebrows raised when they shook their heads.


    “Mommy of all trade. Mommy does everything to earn money,” Lyra Helene gasped, pullingcy G–string


    underwear from the shopping bag. “What is this?”


    Sky burst intoughter, raising his hand as he massaged his forehead. “Give that to mommy. I‘d love to


    see her in that.”

    Twitching her lips as her widened eyes looked at the underwear, my stunned daughter gave it to me.


    “Girls, put it back inside. Mommy just got what she needs,” Sky said amusingly and ignored me, sneering


    and hissing angrily at him. “What else did mommy do to earn money?” He asked, watching her


    daughters ce the shopping bags inside the cab.


    “Why are you so interested in knowing, Sky,” I said, looking at the nightwear and underwear, in my hand.


    “Stop prying in our private life.” He sighed. “Fine, but let‘s make a deal. You wear that, and you won‘t


    hear me asking about you again.”


    “In your dreams!” I growled at him.


    “But we chose that for you, Mommy,” Leyanne quivered her lips, saying it sadly that Sky shrugged and


    pressed his lips to stop himself fromughing. Sky clucked his tongue. “I‘ll be in the study room, and you


    girls, go now to your room and sleep. Let‘s leave Mommy to decide whether she will sleep in her office


    clothes or the clothes you pick for her.” “I‘ll follow you in your room, girls,” I uttered sadly, sighing as I


    waited for them to leave. When I was finally alone, I stared at the cellphone and returned it to the paper


    bag where my daughter had found it. Not wanting to disappoint my daughters, I changed to the sexy


    nightdress Selene chose for me, then pulled a robe from his closet and put it on. The girls were still


    ying in their own beds when I peeked at them in the next room.


    My feet dragged me to the kitchen, and as I made coffee for myself, I decided to make one for Sky and


    brought it to him in the study room.


    “Ahhh!” He moaned at the smell of coffee when I came in. “It‘s like you’re saying, we need to talk,” he


    smirked as he took the cup from me.


    I nodded. “Later, when the kids are sleeping,” I said, turning my back on him but not leaving the room. I


    took one motivational book from the shelf and walked to the couch, bringing my cup of coffee to read.


    Although my eyes were fixed on the book I was reading, I could not concentrate, knowing Sky was just


    within my reach. I could hear him tapping from the keyboard or calling Frank and Elenita as he checked


    on Olivia and his father.


    I rose to my feet, returned the book to the shelf, took the empty coffee from his table, and walked back to


    the kitchen to wash them. I was drying the cups when arms behind me crawled to my waist, enveloping


    my body. “What are you doing, Sky? I told you to behave,” I said, but my heart was pounding erratically,


    hurting my chest.


    “I‘m behaving,” He whispered as he kissed my nape.


    I wriggled my body, escaping from him. “I‘m checking the kids.” I walked faster as if I was running away


    from him. I knew he was following me, but when we reached the girls‘ bedroom, Iughed at what I


    saw.


    Chapter 70 – Sleeping Next To Me


    “Did I just waste money for beds?” He asked as he walked beside me, entering the room and finding two


    empty beds.


    Lyra Helene and Leyanne were on Selene‘s bed. Leyanne opened her eyes. “Mommy, you‘re home,” she


    said in her very sleepy voice. She must have thought I just came home.


    “Yes, baby,” I said, smiling, wanting tough at my exhausted children after the swimming and all the


    excitement they had for today. Breathing hard, Leyanne shook her two sisters‘ arms. “Mommy’s home;


    let‘s go.” “Where are they going?” Sky asked, watching Leyanne climb down the bed, her eyes still


    closed as she tugged Lyra Helene. She groaned but opened her eyes, following her sister. “Sleeping


    next to me,” I answered, scooping Selene from the bed and carrying her in my arms. “But –“Sky‘s face


    flooded with disappointment as he followed me. “You don‘t expect my children to sleep in different beds,


    Sky. They‘ve been sleeping together since they were in my womb.” I exined, wanting tough at him


    as I put Selene on the bed.” Sleep wherever you want,” I chuckled softly,ying my back on the soft


    mattress and embracing Selene. “I harass Frank to set that room for a short time,” heined, sitting


    beside me. I chuckled, rolling to my other side, facing sky. “You can‘t just change something in one night,


    Sky.”


    He twitched his lips. “I know,” he said, lying down beside me. “But tell me, Anj. How deep do the kids


    sleep?” I raised my eyebrows, not understanding him. “What do you mean by how deep?” “I did all the


    tricks I could think of to have another night with you, Anj. I don‘t care about the money, but I‘m not


    wasting this moment,” He whispered, sliding his hand inside my robe.
