Chapter 88 Is Daddy Coming? (Anj‘s POV) Earthquake! 

The bed was shaking, moving up and down, and I could hear my three girls screaming and something whining. My eyes opened wide, and when I gazed at the unfamiliar ceiling, my heart panicked and thumped inside my chest. Fear that my children were in danger made me get up immediately, but perhaps I fought with gravity so much that my blood seemed to pool in the lower part of my body, making me feel dizzy. “Argh!” A short and hushed groan escaped my mouth as my hands held my head, throbbing in pain. I blinked, almost brushing off the little thing sitting on my lap because I was startled and had forgotten that my kids have a puppy. Nitro yawned and whined. “I know,” I almost

Mommy! Mommy, you’re finally awake!” Leyanne beamed, already panting from jumping as if she was on a trampoline

I had to squint to see the girls better. “Girls, stop. You might hurt yourself.I opened my arms, and they all stopped jumping and ran to my arms. Little bodies warmth me. “Happy birthday!” I kissed the top of their heads. “Don‘t grow up so fast, please,I said, kissing them again, and my brimming tears rolled down my cheeks as I planted another kiss

“Mommy,” Lyra Helene met my gaze and pouted. “Is Daddy coming today? He promised he would come.” My eyebrows knitted as I racked my haywire brain, thinking Sky came last night. 

Leyanne escaped my embrace and ran to the table to get my cellphone. “Let‘s call Daddy, Mommy,” she said, giving the gadget to me. My finger slid the screen and showed it to them. “Sorry, no signal.” When three heads lowered their eyes, I wanted to curse Sky again

“What‘s his excuse this time, Mommy?” Selene asked. 

I shrugged and pursed my lips as I hugged my girls. “Can‘t Mommy be enough for today?” My voice was shaking, trying to fight the tears and stopping myself from cursing their father. 

“But he promised,” Lyra Helene muttered, her eyelashes now wet with tears. I swallowed hard, breathing in and out before I got the courage to speak again and forced my lips to curve a hopeful smile

“There‘s a satellite phone here, Uncle Finn said. Maybe we can use that later to call Daddy,” I said, and when three pairs of eyes sparkled with hope, they finally smiled at me. “How about you bring Nitro outside.” 

Leyanne jumped out of bed. “I‘ll carry Nitro,” she said, causing her sisters to groan and follow her, all grumbling as they went out of the bedroom. 

I leaned on the bed‘s headrest and heaved a deep sigh before climbing down, only to be startled by Anya standing by the doorway of the closet room. “Explain this in one word.” She showed the empty bottle of Vodka. 

A small sigh escaped my mouth as I closed my eyes. I was too drunk last night that I imagined Sky coming and kissing me. I lifted my hand to my lips, trailing my mouth with my fingers while thinking it seemed real. 

“Anxious? Stress? Pressured? Choose, Anya,” I said, standing up. “Why does it matter to you? Just one word.”

Maybe he‘s hiding here because when you asked me if he didn‘t come, it seemed he did.” “So, you think Sky‘s hiding in the drawer?” I hissed, shaking my head. She laughed at me. “What will you tell the kids if Sky didn‘t come today?” I craned my neck to the shower head, ignoring Anya for a few minutes because my big brain didn‘t know the answer. Even when I was done showering,
