Chapter 66 A Quick One (Anj‘s POV) 

 

I thought Finn had already left Sky‘s place when I went out of the girls‘ bedroom, but when I went to the kitchen, my daughters were sitting on the chair by the kitchen island, entertained by two handsome men as if they were in a cooking show. 

 

“Look, mommy,” Leyanne turned her head to me. “Daddy‘s cooking spaghetti, and Uncle Finn‘s making baby eggplant pizza,” She giggled when Finn winked at her and showed a charming smile. 

 

“Are you hungry? This won‘t take long,” Sky asked me, but his eyes asked me a different question. 

 

I just nodded, sitting with my children, and like them, I watched them, amazed at how they moved fluidly in the kitchen as if they were not wealthy and didn‘t have many servants at home. 

 

“Ms. Perry,” Finn stopped, narrowing his eyes as if weighing if it would be okay for me. “Can I just call you, Anj?” “No,” Sky answered right away. 

 

He scoffed at Sky, shaking his head as he twitched his lips and stole glances at me. He put the small pizza sizes in the oven and then cleaned his area, placing the utensils and plates in the sink. While wiping the table, he looked at Leyanne

 

“Better ask mommy first. She might not say yes,” he said, stirring my curiosity at what he promised my children that I would not be happy about. 

 

As if I have said ‘no’ already, Selene‘s eyes went round, panic–stricken at the thought.” Mommy?“Yes?” I asked, standing up to see where the plates were kept. As if Sky knew what I planned to do, he opened the upper kitchen cabinet and took out the clean plates. He gave them to me, but before I turned my back on him, his hand gripped my forearm

 

He leaned forward as if to kiss me but only whispered to my ear, making sure the kids would not hear him. “Anj, I‘m sorry.” Our eyes met when he moved slightly away from me, and I was like cheese in the pizza in the oven, melting in his eyes. I heaved a sigh, curving a smile on my lips because Selene was eyeing us. I placed the plates on the kitchen island, raising my hand to touch his lips. “Spaghetti sauce,” I uttered nervously, hoping to wipe the sauce on the corner of his mouth, but he caught my hand. I swallowed hard when he licked his lower lip and smiled at me. “You missed it,” I said without breaking our gaze. “Hmm!” Finn muttered, crossing his arms to his chest and tilting his head to see my face. “I wonder how you will wipe that sauce without touching Sky?” I peeked at Finn and rolled my eyes, taking the plates from the table and facing Sky again.
