Chapter 24
Joy was filling Skylar’s heart, making her forget for a moment the many problems that had come lately, after she received an inheritance from her grandfather,
She could finally be back with her sons and Anthony. For Anthony, at least temporarily until the time he had to return to Australia because there was a company that he had to take care of and even Anthony also took care of Skylar’s company while he was still taking care of The Carter Mainland Enterprise.
“You look thin, Mom,” said Nile while touching Skylar’s check, when they stopped at a a restaurant to
to rest, from the airport. “Are you sad?”
Skylar laughed happily. She reached out and hugged Nile tightly while kissing his head, then did the same to Noah who had also been staring at her.
“No, now I’m not sad anymore, because you and Uncle Anthony are with me. Skylar answered while glancing at Anthony who was smiling
“Now, we will live here with you?” asked Noah with interest. “And go to school here too?”
“Yes,” replied Skylar. Tve already enrolled you guys in a good school. It’s not far from our house and they have a good shuttle service.
“Have you decided on the house, Sky!” Anthony asked. “Do you like it? Do y
you
feel comfortable there?”
“Yes, Anthony. I’ve taken care of everything and out of the three choices from the best real estate agents in the office, this house is the most complete according to my wishes, Skylar replied confidently
“Good” Anthony said with satisfaction. “Since you guys will probably be staying there for a long time, we need to make sure everything in comfortable and safe”
“You’re not going to live with us, Uncle And Nile asked. There was a hint of disappointment in his voice.
Anthony smiled softly and stroked the boy’s hair. “I’ll visit and stay often, Son, but you know I have a job and a company to take care of, even your mother’s company

Skylar reached out and squeezed Anthony’s hand on the mble. She felt guilty
putting an extra burden on Anthony.
“I’m sorry, Anthony,” Skylar said sofily. “I promise, in the next two months, 1 will go back there to visit Fly High and sort out some things”
Anthony smiled. “Don’t worry. Everything can still be handled from here, right? You have many trusted and reliable people at Fly High and for now, you have more important things to do. Just relax and sort things out one by one”
Skylar looked at Anthony with great gratitude. The man never failed to help her and he always did everything without hesitation, even when Skylar
didn’t ask or was embarrassed to say so.
now.
He not only saved Skylar since the first time they met, but he continues to do so until ne
A year after Fly High Sky Design Interior Company was running, Skylar once asked Anthony, what he wanted from Skylar, by giving her so much help even though they didn’t really know each other.
At that time Anthony just smiled and said that he was just redeeming himself and it just so happened that he met Skylar.
Anthony promised that one day, when the time was right, he
him.
I tell Skylar everything and he would not avoid any questions Skylar asked about
After that, Skylar never asked Anthony anything again. She knew that everyone had their reasons and there was no need to force them to know those reasons, because everyone had their own place, time and situation.
However, after that, Skylar could feel that the intersity of her relationship with Anthony was increasing. They became closer and more intimate, as if the word love was just uttered to increase their status.
“I love you and the twins, Anthony said at one time. “And I can feel that you feel the same way about me. I don’t want to force anything on you, Sky. I know you have trauma and as long as you are not over it, then we cannot go any further.”
Who knows what Anthony’s heart is made of, but Skylar never stops being grateful that when she fell, Anthony was the one who found her.
“Sky” Anthony touched Skylar’s hair. “Why are you daydreaming? What are you thinking about”
Skylar snapped out of her reverie and shook her head with a smile. “No, it’s okay, I just remembered something”
Anthony looked at Skylar with a raised eyebrow, but she nodded and smiled faintly.
After lunch, Skylar immediately took Anthony and the twins to the new house that had just been renovated yesterday afternoon.
Chapter 24
Amrita was a great help to Skylar. She took care of Skylar’s moving, even arranged the decoration according to Skylar’s reference because Skylar’s agenda for the past two days was full of staff meetings at several branches of the company.
“Wow, Mom, that’s a really nice house,” Nile said cheerfully, as the car entered the grassy yard after passing through the gate. “It looks like the houses I often see in design magazines at your office.”
“Did you buy it at a high price, Mom!” Noah asked with a serious expression. “I heard that the property prices here are quite high.”
Anthony laughed at Noah’s question. “Okay, Noah, next month when I come back here. I’ll find you a good financial management course for a kid
Noah blushed. He was the type of kid who liked to observe and analyze things in detail and he seemed interested in things related to business, finance, stocks, and investment.
Unlike Noah, Nile was more cheerful, liked to move around, and talked more. He also preferred everything related to design, building and
construction
Anthony often said that when Noah and Nile grew up, they could start a company together and dominate the world of finance and construction because they both had equal strengths in different fields but were very compatible and complementary
Skylar led them inside and the two boys immediately explored here and there while commenting on this and that
There’s a pool here,” Noah said, opening
ng the door to the side yard. “You put in a slide, too, Mom, that’s cool
“And a swing” Nile shouted. “Hey, Noah, look at that. We have our own playground”
“Careful,” Skylar said. “Don’t start using it right away. The paint probably isn’t dry yet”
“Did you have time to decorate all this?” Anthony asked, surprised. “Didn’t you say yesterday that you had a lot of meetings? When did you do them! Did you have time to sleep and rest?”
“Uh, no, Anthony, Skylar said with a chuckle. I just gave her an idea of what I needed and what I wanted, and Amrita helped me make it happen She’s great
“That top real estate agent? Anthony asked.
“Yeah” Skylar nodded. “We hit it off and our tastes are pretty much the same, so it was easy for me to communicate with her. I wouldn’t have been able to do it if it wasn’t for Amrita since I bought this house.”
This is an
a very nice house, Anthony said, grabbing Skylar’s waist and kissing the side of her head. “Timm sorry for making you have to handle everything by yourself here.”
Skylar looked up, looking into Anthony’s sharp eyes with shame. She kissed Anthony’s chin gently.
“Shouldn’t I be the one apologizing to you for burdening you with so many things? Fly High and even the kids school transfers, Skylar said. “Even though you’re already very busy”
Anthony smiled thinly. Tp not doing it just for you, but for my own peace of mind too. I can’t stop worrying about your situation here, all alone and in the middle of enemy territory
Skylar laughed at the term Anthony used. It was ironic because the term seemed appropriate. Skylar was actually among people who were related to her by blood, her family, but they could also be considered her enemies.
“I prepared a special room for you,” Skylar said as she pulled Anthony’s hand to the special room she had prepared for him. “Complete with a work
desk and bookshelves”
Anthony laughed and entered the room that Skylar had opened. “This is too luxurious, considering I might only stay for three or four days when I
“Tak” Skylar said in denial. “You should take at least one week every month, Antliony. The kids will be cranky because they miss you if they are not with you for a long time.”
“Just the kids?” Anthony asked, glancing with a twitching eyebrow,
Skylar blushed. She didn’t resist when Anthony grabbed her waist again and made their bodies close to each other.
Anthony smoothed Skylar’s hair behind her ears and bent down, landing her lips on hers.
missed you,” Anthony y murmured.
Skylar smiled and her arms went up, wrapping around Anthony’s neck. Her lips moved, in time with Anthony’s and a sweet kiss full of longing united them in a gesture of equal feeling as Anthony bit Skylar’s ripe lips.
