Sassy Angel’s Secret Sin

Chapter 43

Chapter 43 – The Daddy Problem (Anj‘s POV) My three girls may be five years old, turning six, as Selene would always correct, but they talk and think like adults. In Sta. Louisiana, where I gave birth to and raised them, we lived in a dormitory where they got to interact with university students and young adults. 

Always wanting to be practical, I did not think of needing to live in an apartment where I had to find a nanny, pay a rental cost, and worry about myself and my children. Mrs. Salvador, a retired schoolteacher, looked after my daughters while I worked and studied. Most of the time, my housemates volunteered to take care of them. 

Only when I came back that I realize their need to interact with kids their age when Sister Grace reminded me why she made me join in Anya‘s classes before, but I guess I was too late. Looking at them, I didn‘t want to think I had stolen their precious childhood. “Mommy‘s free today. What do you want to do?” I asked them while having breakfast. Dylan glanced at me, probably wondering why the girls were quiet. “Mommy‘s not mad, you know,” I added before sipping coffee. 

Leyanne pursed her lips as she looked down. 

“Why? What happened yesterday?” Dylan asked curiously, and by the looks on his face, I was sure Anya did not tell him anything. “Did you meet the daddy?” “Nope!” Lyra Helene answered, putting her glass of milk on the table. “We hired one.” 

Dylan raised his eyebrows. “You hired someone to be your daddy?” he looked at them with amusement. 

“Uh–huh!” she nodded, looking at me. “Don‘t worry, mommy. We paid him.” 

I pressed my lips, unsure if I wanted to laugh or cry. They didn‘t need to pay Sky to pretend to be their father because he is really their daddy. I scowled at Anya, hoping she would not spill the beans as to who they hired to play as their daddy yesterday and just let him know from their staff what exactly happened. 

“Will you be hiring him again on Family Day?” Dylan looked at Lyra Helene, avoiding my eyes. “That‘s in two days. It will be your problem if daddy doesn‘t show up.”
