Chapter 39 – The Finale 

(Anj‘s POV) 

“Good morning, mommy!” Leyanne greeted, her eyes still closed as she walked toward the dining room 

“Good morning! Just mommy?” I had to come to her to ensure her head would not bump the edge of the table. Smelling my scent, she raised her arms, wanting me to carry her. I took her and sat her at the table. 

She opened her eyes, blinked her round eyes, and still sleepy, she greeted the others. “Good morning, Aunt Anya. Good morning, Uncle Dylan.” 

“Good morning, Selene,” Anya greeted sweetly as she placed plates and cutleries on the table. “I‘m not Selene,” Leyanne mumbled. “I‘m Leyanne,” She corrected, adjusting the brim of her eyeglasses. 

“Hmm,” Dylan knitted his eyebrows as he placed the scrambled eggs he had just made. “I thought Selene wears the eyeglasses?” he asked amusingly. 

Before I could explain that the three of them had eyeglasses, Selene came out of the bedroom, wearing the same pajamas. 

“Good morning!” she greeted cheerily and sat on the chair on her own. 

“Mommy, I can‘t find my other slipper.” Lyra Helene came out, complaining already in the early morning. 

“Wait. I think I saw it under the couch,” Dylan said, walking to the living room to get her other slipper. “Here, Selene.” 

“Thank you, Uncle Dylan, but I‘m not Selene. I‘m Lyra Helene,” she smiled as she took the slipper from him. 

“Ha!” Anya beamed. “Good morning, Selene!” She greeted happily as she kissed Selene‘s cheek. “Yes! I finally got it right.” She rolled her eyes at me, laughing as she gave me a cup of coffee. 

Selene giggled. “You‘re funny, Aunt Anya.” “You‘ve been here for a week, but I still couldn‘t get your name right,” She complained, pulling the chair and smiling at me. “So... How‘s your new job at the university?”
