Sassy Angel’s Secret Sin

Chapter 44 – The Business Proposal 

(Anj‘s POV) 

I peeked at the Excelente Café after stopping my car at its parking area. Perhaps it is still early, that‘s why I don‘t see many cars in the parking lot. Whenever I go to the university, I always see this place packed, but today, it seems the café had fallen asleep despite the lustful scent of . the brewing coffee. 

My daughters excitedly unfastened their seatbelts in the child seat, and when I opened the door, Leyanne jumped out first, Lyra Helene went out on the other side, while Selene, for the first time, did not complain about going out of the car last, raised her arms to me. “Argh!” I said, chuckling as I carried her. “My baby‘s getting heavier every day. What‘s Aunt Anya feeding you?” 

She giggled, wriggling her body to go down. She joined her sisters as soon as her feet touched the ground, and they all waited patiently at me as I took the paper bag with our samples and closed the car door. They held hands as they walked toward the café and chatted about what they wanted to do after this short meeting. If there is something in my life that I don‘t want them to experience is having no good memories with my mother. Although Sister Grace and Aunt Rose have raised and taken good care of me, nothing could connect us except I was adopted to be loved and be part of their family. 

As we entered the café, Steve Mars was sitting near the window, overlooking the small park outside. He was reading a newspaper but smiled happily when he saw my children. “Grandpa!” Lyra Helene shouted excitedly, and the three of them ran to him. 

When they hovered around him, it was only then I noticed that there was no one in the café except him, a woman seated far from him on another table wearing a white scrub suit, drinking coffee with the man in a driver‘s uniform. 

“Look at you! I bet you slept early last night. You grew up already,” he joked, making my girls giggle as they kissed and embraced him. 

When I walked toward them, he raised his head and rose to his feet.
