Sassy Angel’s Secret Sin

Chapter 50

Chapter 50 – Mind Full of Anj Perry (Sky‘s POV) “You‘re in the university today. Why? I can‘t believe you met my professor,” Finn suddenly blurted out while having dinner.

All pairs of eyes looked at me, and when I saw a glimpse of Finn, he was smirking at me. “She‘s a goddess,” He shook his head. “Olivia‘s right. If I don‘t graduate this year, I care less. I can have another year in her class.”

“That beautiful?” Dad asked, and he seemed not worried that his son would not graduate again this year.

Sometimes, I don‘t understand him, but since yesterday, he has been acting like he was thrilled. Elenita said he took all his medicines today without fuss and even asked his nurse when his next treatment would be because he has plans to travel.

“She told me to tell you to see her tomorrow afternoon,” I said, putting an end to his fantasy about her. I didn‘t know I would feel pissed at him when I saw the glow in his eyes when he talked about her. “She‘ll help you with your paper.” He scoffed. “Pfft! Did Ms. Perry really say that?” He frowned at me and shook his head in disbelief. “She‘s a snow queen.”

“Perry?” My father knitted his eyebrows. “Are we talking about an Anj Perry?”

We all turned our heads to Dad, and when Finn nodded, he laughed hard, then he sighed, shaking his head as he continued eating, leaving us all curious as to what made him laugh. “Only you, Dad, can leave us all hanging,” Olivia narrowed her eyes at him. “Tell us about this Anj Perry.”

He shrugged, killing me with curiosity. I knew he was doing it to annoy me, or maybe it was really nothing, but I felt enraged because I could not take her out of my mind. She looked desperate to ask me to pretend as the father of her child for tomorrow‘s activity, but she slammed into my face that she didn‘t care when I said no.

“Dad...” Olivia cried when he chuckled at her.

“Nothing,” he answered. “I didn‘t know she was also a professor.” He took his glass to drink, a way for him to stop giving us information. He raised his hand, gesturing for his nurse to come to him.

I groaned. “Dad...” I said, gritting my teeth and holding my patience. I knew there was something about her he was not telling us. He would usually blurt out every information to us, but about this ‘Anj Perry,‘ he was not telling us anything. “I‘ll take my medicines in my room.” He rose to his feet. “Olivia, when you‘re done, come to my room. I want to listen to you play the violin.” “Sure, Dad,” she smiled as she continued eating dinner. “And you, Finn. Meet Ms. Perry tomorrow. Please don’t give her a hard time. Raising triplets is tough already.” The nurse hurried, following him as he walked toward the staircase.

“Triplets?” Olivia repeated. “Does it mean the perfume comes from her?” She looked at Finn, but he shrugged.

I could hardly swallow my food when I realized she was telling me about the event at the same school I went to. Perhaps Anj had no idea I was the fake dad, or she knew already; that‘s why she was asking me.

“Back to earth, big brother,” Finn tapped the table to get my attention. When my eyes flickered on him, he smirked. “Did she mention where we should meet?”

“Why don‘t you ask her?” I answered, not looking at him. My mind is full of Anj Perry. “I definitely would,” he smiled as he pinned his eyes on the food he was eating.

11:05 p.m.

I groaned as I got up from bed and walked to the bar, bringing my cellphone and the business card Leyanne gave me. I seldom use this bar because I remember Angela every time I come here, but today, I feel the need to drink. Last night, Dad sent me a picture he took when the triplets introduced me to the other dads. He had been teasing me about my likeness to the three girls, but as I gazed at the picture, they all looked like their mother.

My heart ached as I imagined Lyra Helene crying again, waiting for a father that would obviously not come. Whoever their father was, I hated him for leaving Anj and letting her raise three children alone. I wonder where their father was and how she became a single mom when Anj Perry is the epitome of true beauty.

I poured vodka into my glass, but as if thirsty, I drank its entire content and dialed the number from the business card they gave me.

“H–hello?” A female voice stuttered as she answered after three rings. I could hear her sniffling, clearing her throat as she spoke again. “Heaven Scent. Good evening,” she greeted. Has she been crying? “Mommy, is that daddy? Is daddy coming tomorrow?” I heard a voice from one of the girls. “A customer, baby. Go back to sleep.” I heard her say before taking my call again. “I‘m sorry about that. Uhm... How can I help you?” I swallowed hard, not knowing what to say and hating myself for declining her. As if courage ran away from me, I ended the call and drank my alcohol again while looking at the happy faces of her daughters in the picture. I dialed another number, and after five rings, Frank answered. “Sky?” He cleared his throat. He must have been sleeping already when I called. “I‘m sorry, Frank, for calling at this hour, but I just wanted to make sure my schedule is full tomorrow,” I said, drinking again. He chuckled. “Your schedule is always full, sky. But let me check,” I could hear some faint noises whileContent is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

I waited. “You have a board meeting in the morning. Another meeting with the CFO from one to three, and you‘ll meet the wedding coordinator with Lalaine at four. After

that, you‘re free as a bird.”

“Thank you, Frank.” I ended the call.

I closed my eyes, thinking of what I said to Anj Perry this afternoon. Only a lunatic man would say yes, and I am not that man.
