Chapter 154: He Feels Like A Daddy Should Feel

Angela POV

My hands still trembled slightly as I guided the twins through our apartment door, the shocking revelation weighing heavily on my mind.

"Can we have hot chocolate, Mama?" Aria asked, skipping ahead to the kitchen while I set my purse down on the entryway table and hung our coats in the closet.

"Sure, sweetheart," I replied, taking a deep breath to compose myself. I couldn't let the children see how shaken I was.

I followed them into the kitchen, where Aria was already climbing onto her favorite stool. Ethan stood quietly by the counter, his observant gaze studying my face with unusual intensity.

"Mama, are you okay?" Ethan asked, his gaze unwavering.

My smile faltered momentarily. "I'm fine, sweetheart. Just thinking about some work things."

"You've been quiet since we left the mall playground," he persisted, showing that perceptiveness that sometimes caught me off guard.

Aria jumped down from her stool and tugged at my hand. "Come see what I drew today! I

put it in my backpack. It's a unicorn with rainbow wings!"

As I helped her retrieve her artwork, I noticed Ethan still watching me, clearly

unconvinced by my casual dismissal.

"Mama, you look worried," Aria remarked suddenly, her small face turning serious. "You

shouldn't think about work now. It's after-work time!"

I laughed softly, grateful for my daughter's simple wisdom. "You're right, darling." I stroked her dark curls, then glanced between both children. "Actually, I wanted to ask you both something. Did Mr. Night visit your school during lunch today?"

The twins exchanged glances before Ethan shook his head. "No, not today."
