Chapter 61 The Unexpected Visitor (Anj‘s POV) “Did the world fall on you, Anj?” Anya asked when I came to the dining room. I sat quietly, forcing a smile as I picked up the cup of coffee and watched Dylan sit on the head seat across from me. This has been our usual seating arrangement since I returned to Aunt Rose‘s house. 

“Mommy, look,” Leyanne said excitedly. “Uncle Dylan made us shaped pancakes,” she propped her elbows on the table and picked up the heart–shaped pancake. “Mine is the moon,” Selene said, wanting to tell her that the pancake‘s normal shape is a circle. Dylan pressed his lips, suppressing a smile. How he made her believe it was a moon rather than a circle is impressive to me. Lyra Helene only giggled, so I assumed we were thinking the same thing, but I caught a glimpse of the star–shaped pancake she was eating

“Uncle Dylan is trying to impress the girls,” Anya chimed in, picking up her cup and sipping her coffee as she glanced at Dylan. “Mommy, Uncle Dylan is asking what your plan for tomorrow is,” Leyanne looked at me, waiting for my answer. I looked at the ceiling, pretending to think when I had laid the plans for tomorrow and the coming days. “Why?” I put my cup down on the saucer, asking her. “Uncle Dylan said he wants to bring us to the amusement park if we‘re free,” my daughter answered. I glanced at Dylan, waiting for my answer. “Tell Uncle Dylan Sister Grace is expecting us to come tomorrow, and it‘s Mrs. Antonetta‘s eighty–sixth birthday, and she‘s hoping to see you, 

girls.” 

Dylan groaned, shaking his head as he chuckled when I reminded him of tomorrow‘s event. He hissed and looked at me. “I forgot,” he mouthed, making Anya raise her eyebrows. 

My eyebrows raised when I looked at him. “Why? Why ask my girls when you can ask me?” I twitched my lips, hoping to smile at him, but I felt like the sky had really fallen on me. 

“How about dinner? Would you like to go out and have dinner with me?” It was so direct that when he asked me, I could only open my mouth, wanting to glower at him, but he met my eyes, gazing at me lovingly and adoringly, not minding whether Anya or the kids were there. Suddenly, I didn‘t know what to answer

It was silent in the room for a few seconds, but Leyanne broke that silence when she turned her head to Dylan. “Just mommy?” She blinked her eyes twice before turning to look at me. Dylan smiled, tousling her hair as he answered. “Of course, it‘s dinner with you girls,” he reached for her face and wiped the corner of her mouth. “Girls? Does it include me, Uncle Dylan?” teased Anya, mimicking the girls‘ voice and batting her eyelashes at him, but he sneered at her. “What?” She chuckled. “You said girls.” 

Lyra Helene smiled charmingly at him. “But it‘ll be fun if we go
