Chapter 157: A Perfect Chance To Strike Back

"Is he our new daddy?" Chiara asked, glancing up at Ash. "Thunder, look! He looks exactly like you! You're like his mini-version-"

Chiara stopped, recognizing Ash, too. She must have remembered him from the photo I'd shown them before.

Upon snapping back to his senses, Ash knelt to their level. His eyes reflected the same emotions I felt-happiness and peace.

"It's me, your Dad," he said, pulling them both into a tight hug. "I'm sorry I'm late... my twins."

After that, Chiara and Thunder had played with Ash all day, completely draining his energy.

"They already like you more than me," I teased, sitting beside him.

The twins were asleep now, giving Ash a chance to rest.

"You've been with them all these years," he said, placing a hand on my cheek and resting my head on his shoulder. "You raised them well, I'm sure." "No. I barely got to see them. Darcy raised them for the most part."

He looked surprised, so I continued, "I can't risk their lives by staying with them."

I tried to make my voice light, but I know that Ash heard the sadness I have in my tone.

"Sapphire." Ash leaned in and gave me a peck on the lips. "One day, we'll all be together again, and we'll make everything right. I promise you that."

Meanwhile, while Sapphire and Ash were enjoying themselves, Azrael was seething.

His men were good enough to track Sapphire's movements no matter how hard she tried to evade them. Accidentally, Azrael knew what Sapphire was hiding-the SD card. Azreal hadn't intended to get involved in it since it didn't concern him, but Sapphire and Ash's defiance left him no choice.
