Chapter 51 – The Hired Daddy (Anj‘s POV) As the small gymnasium was slowly filled with teachers andstaff, parents, and their kids, I could feel my heart in my throat. I sat nervously at the first step of thebleacher bench and watched my triplets play and run around, looking adorable in their pigtails. Whowould know that last night, Leyanne proudly recited the multiplication table, Lyra Helene, the periodictable, and Selene entertained me with solving a sudoku table? I may have lost my opportunity to honemy 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 thewords ‘Family Day‘ was like a sharp knife piercing my heart. I could not think and breathe as I saw mygirls stop running and watched other kids coming with their mother and father.

Leyanne turned her head to me, her eyes hopeful that a man, claiming their father, would enter the largeentrance of the gymnasium. Sky was my last option, but with him saying no to me, I could not force himto be with my children today.

From afar, I could see Dylan looking at me, surely not listening to Anya as she talked to him aboutschool–related things. I evaded his eyes and smiled nervously at my kids, shrugging my shoulders andthinking 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 hardas I ready myself to talk to them about leaving the gymnasium. This is not fair for them, but joining afamily 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 andsurprising me. Still panting but looking gorgeously handsome and delicious, Sky smiled at me andcupped my face.

“Pumpkin, I‘m sorry for coming late,” He breathed out, gliding his hand to my nape and his other hand tomy neck, and planted a kiss on my lips. “I had to replace someone to attend the board meeting, and...” Hefinally stopped talking and chuckled. “My acting is too much, right?” He whispered, wiping the tears thatrolled down my cheeks. I nodded, still crying as I put my arms on his neck, hugging him like missing himvery much. The truth? I miss him every day. He moved slightly away from me and smirked. “I realized I’ma lunatic guy,” he said and lowered his head and met the eyes of my children, looking at him with shockon 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 placing them back in their pockets, except Selene‘s. She was just looking at Sky, notwalking near him. “It‘s a long story,” Sky breathed out, looking at one of my girls, not believing our smallact. She twitched her lips, lowered her eyes, and fidgeted with her hands. “You‘re not our dad,” shewhispered. “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, glancing at me as if telling me to help him. “I‘m sorry, Selene. It‘s a long –“He turnedto 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 teasedhim, 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 handsclenched into fists.

“Yeah, how would we know it?” Dylan asked, startling me when I turned to see him and Anya standingbehind me. Anya smiled as she knew the truth, but as for Dylan, we would deal with him later. Sky roseto his feet, looked at Dylan, and walked toward me, and without any warning, he placed his palm at theback 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 coulddeepen 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, nottaking his eyes from my lips.

I chuckled, looking down when Selene tugged his pants, and when she got his attention, sheraised 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 hisneck. Leyanne and Lyra Helene ran toward him and wrapped their arms around him. He bent onone knee, putting Selene down and hugging my three girls. If only Sky knew that my heart wasoverflowing with happiness, and with him now with us, even for a short time, I could not ask foranything more. I didn‘t know this would be such an overwhelming sight for me, seeing mychildren 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 explaining to do,

girl.”

I turned to them but avoided Dylan‘s glare at me.

“I know...”
