Chapter 60 A Good Excuse (Anj‘s POV) “Mommy?” Selene cupped my face. 

When I opened my eyes, three pairs of worried eyes were staring at me. My lips curved a sweet 

and gentle smile, seeing my girls. “Mommy, are you okay?” Leyanne placed her palm on my forehead. 

I stretched my arms and yawned, still tired after yesterday‘s event in their school and the hot night with Sky. Thinking of those searing kisses we shared, I breathed out as the heat crept to my body and turned my face apple red. “You must be sick, mommy?” Lyra Helene gasped. “Your face is soooo red.” 

I could not help myself from laughing at my children as I got up and leaned on the bed‘s headrest. I opened my arms wide, welcoming the three in my arms, and embraced them tightly. “Argh! What have you been eating these days?” I groaned and chuckled when Selene came on top of me, resting her head on my chest and wrapping her arms around me. Leyanne snuggled to my right and Lyra Helene to my other side. My two girls stretched their arms, embracing me. 

They giggled, raising their heads so I could kiss their foreheads. After telling Anya the truth, my chest felt light. We talked for hours last night, telling her everything that had happened to Sky and me and why I returned despite my feelings for him. 

“What made you think mommy is sick?” I asked curiously. 

“It‘s already six, and you‘re still in bed,” Leyanne answered, playing with the ribbon of my nightwear. 

I raised my forehead. “Really?” I closed my eyes and moaned. “Mommy still wants to sleep,“I smiled, kissing them again and sighing as I let them go. Leyanne and Lyra Helene climbed down the bed, except for Selene.
