Sassy Angel’s Secret Sin

Chapter 84

Chapter 84 – Where Is Daddy?

(Anj‘s POV)

My eyes were glued to my children as they packed their own backpacks with their toys and books, the things they wanted to bring to the island. If only I could tell them I hadn‘t heard of him since he left the nursing home.

This is what I wanted, for him not to show up and for us not to see each other anymore, but this would be the first time I wished I didn‘t have to say something terrible or morbid to my

girls.

“Mommy, what time will Daddy come?” Selene turned to me.

I blinked.

If my daughter asked what chemicals made up the sky, I could answer her right away, but as to what time or whether Sky would come, I do not know the answer.

“Daddy said to ask Aunt Anya and Uncle Dylan to come, and we should bring only our favorite toys,” Leyanne said. “But Mommy, we also bring some books.” I smiled nervously. “You can bring anything you want, baby.”

Lyra Helene went to the window, propped her elbows, and pressed her cheeks in her arms.” Why aren’t you preparing, Mommy?” she asked without looking at me.

“I‘ll prepare later,” I answered, glancing at my cellphone and cursing on it quietly. He should have at least told me what to say to the girls.

“But Daddy said we should be ready at three. Uncle Dylan and Aunt Anya are ready.” Lyra Helene said lazily.

“Daddy said he‘ll be picking us up at three,“Selene joined Lyra Helene, waiting for a car to stop in front of the house.

“What?” My eyes widened, suddenly speechless. My hands trembled as I picked up my cell phone, and I couldn‘t make my finger swipe the screen to call him.

My heart skipped a beat when I heard the sound of the car finally stopping in the driveway. My eyes closed, breathing out in relief. “Uncle Finn!” Lyra Helene shouted.

Finn? Is Finn coming too? Slowly, I walked toward the window to see him getting out of the car, looking handsome in his V–neck shirt and khaki shorts. He pulled off his sunglasses, and as our gazes connected, he smiled, showing that same grin Sky has, my daughters have.

“Ready, kids?” He yelled from the outside.

My girls squealed in excitement and took their bags, leaving me by the window and running toward the door to meet Finn. I took a deep breath as I waited for another man to leave the car, but no one else came out. I walked slowly toward the door, hating the feeling of being disabled because of my ankle,

although I could walk without pain now as I was almost healed. When I reached the foyer, I saw Anya and Dylan in their summer look attire with their bags. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

“Beach, here I come!” I heard Anya singing toward the door.

“Do I really have to come?” Dylan groaned at her, shaking his head as she looked at her from head to toe. “Do you really have to wear that?”

Anya was wearing a pink rib–knit halter top and denim short shorts, revealing her skin, and I could say she was really attractive, making me wonder why Dylan had never thought of giving her attention.

She sneered at him. “If I were Sky, I wouldn‘t want to invite you. You‘re a competitor,” she hissed but poked him in his abs, smiling naughtily. “Where‘s Daddy?” Leyanne asked, stopping me from walking. Finn squatted in front of her. “Daddy sent me to pick you up. He couldn‘t come because he has a veeerrry important meeting.”

I lowered my eyes as I thought of Sky finally coming to his senses, not meeting us anymore but fulfilling my children‘s wish of going to the beach. “Daddy‘s not coming, right?” There was a pain in Lyra Helene‘s voice. I panicked, walking toward them. “Of course, he is. He made a promise,” I turned to Finn.“ Right, Finn?” I widened my eyes, hoping he got the message.

He stood up, not answering me. Instead, he narrowed his eyes, raised his eyebrows, and pursed his lips. “You‘re not coming to the beach wearing that, right?” “What‘s wrong with my clothes?” I asked him as I looked at my oversized T–shirt and pajamas.

He smirked. “You seemed not to get the message, Ms. Perry. It‘s a beach party, not a slumber party.” He heaved a deep sigh and turned to my children. “I‘m just a messenger who volunteered to come and get you and bring you to the island safely. Let‘s just hope the Daddy is not lying, and he will come in time.”

Leyanne and Selene quietly followed him to the car, but Lyra Helene walked back to me and raised her arms. When I carried her, she buried her face in my neck. She was not crying, but her fear and pain radiated to my heart, making me want to hate Sky. He should have at least told me his plans. I could have prepared myself for this.

Dylan approached me and took Lyra Helene from me, and like my two girls, he quietly walked toward the driveway with Anya.

I grabbed my bag, not bothering to change clothes, and walked toward the door, locking it before heading to the SUV. I squeezed in at the passenger seat at the back and turned to my quiet children before nodding to Finn that we were all set to go. I sighed, considering a seven seater car like this since I could not stop my kids from growing. Finn nodded to the driver. “To the airport, Harvey.”

“Airport?” I uttered in surprise.

Chapter 84 Where is Deddy?

Finn peeked at me. “As much as Sky loves sailing, he didn‘t want his kids to travel late in this late afternoon by boat. So, I‘ll be flying you there by plane.” “You?” My eyes were filled with horror as I imagined Finn in the cockpit. “Flying us there?”

He laughed and shook his head. “Wrong choice of word, ma‘am. Sorry. A licensed pilot would be flying us to the island.” I rolled my eyes at Finn. “He should have told me his plans,” I muttered angrily. Finn shrugged. “He never really shares his plan, Ms. Perry. All I know is this trip is Dad‘s gift to the girls.” He winked at Leyanne. “Grandpa‘s gift to the girls.” When she didn‘t smile, he took a deep breath. “Maybe my gift will make you smile.” I wanted to smack Finn in the head, but I gathered all the patience left in my senses not to hurt him in front of my kids. “Leyanne, can you see the box beside you?” He asked. “Uh–huh!” She answered, only her eyes were moving as she stared at the box. “Open it,” he said and sat upright, facing the road. Dylan, Anya, and I turned our heads, peering at them as Leyanne opened the lid of the box. She gasped, and her sisters looked at her, wanting to know what was inside. “Mommy!” she said excitedly as she took the white Labrador retriever puppy in her arms. “Look, Selene, Lyra Helene, we‘re having a puppy on our birthday.” Her sisters squealed in delight, thrilled to see and hold the adorable dog with a pink collar on her neck

“Why did you put her in the box, Uncle Finn? She could have died.” Selene said worriedly, her eyes still wide as she stared at the box.

“Mommy, she‘s still a baby. You think her mommy will look for her?” Lyra Helene asked. Without warning, tears fell down my cheeks. “I don‘t think so, baby,” I uttered in a hushed tone, wiping my tears, but it was like something hit my chest so hard that I wanted to cry. I hate Finn. I hate Sky. I hate my Mom! The puppy whined, but Selene cuddled her right away, making it quiet. “Don‘t worry; we‘ll take care of you.” My kids have forgotten Sky for a while as they become busy thinking of the puppy‘s name. Anya and Dylan were quiet, not wanting to talk to me because they knew I wanted space, even for a few hours.

We reached the airport by four, where a private jet awaited us. “There‘s the ride I like,” Anya smiled as she got out of the car, following Finn in the pilot’s direction.
