“Mama…” Eudora reached out, wrapped her arms around Anya’s neck and started to whine softly.


    But the girl didn’t know how to speak. All that came out of her mouth was garbled sounds that made no


    sense


    “What’s wrong. Eudora? Did you miss Mommy?” Anya had no idea what Eudora was protesting about


    She simply kissed her little girl’s cheek softly. Her eyes shone with love as she gazed at her daughter


    Eudora nodded. She wanted to tell her mother that she missed her but she wasn’t as smart as her


    brother who had slinsedy


    leamed to talk


    All she knew were a few simple words like mom and Elie


    Beyond those simple words, she didn’t know anything else.


    She wanted to talk to her mother like what her brother was doing and cheer her mother up after an


    exhausting day but the


    didn’t know how.


    All she could do was mumble garbled sounds like an idiot


    The girl couldn’t help but feel overwhelmed by sudden misery. Why was she so supic?


    “Well, Mommy’s back now. You don’t have to miss me anymore,” Anys smiled as she gazed fondly at


    her daughter’s adorable little face. The thought that her daughter was upset because she missed herContent held by N?velDrama.Org.


    mother made Anys’s heart swell wits


    love.


    She carried Eudora to the couch. “Mommy’s going to try and make it home earlier so that she can


    spend more time with you and Nathaniel, alright?”


    Anya’sforting words were like a soothing balm. The girl began to calm down. After some time, she


    nodded quiety


    Anya got both her kids in her arms and began breastfeeding.


    Ellie made her way to the trio while Anya was feeding her kids. “I fed them form milk twice today.


    They drank it making a fuss. You can start to wean them off breast milk”


    Anya nodded. She was of the mind to do that as soon as possible.


    Her job required her to workte and entertain clients asionally. That meant she wouldn’t be able to


    breastfeed her kids


    as regrly as she wanted.


    “I’ll get you some buckwheat tea after you’ve weaned them off breastmilk. It’ll help,” Ble said.


    “Thanks, Ellie.” Anya felt her heart swell with gratitude. Her aunt had done so much for her.


    If her mother had been around, Ellie wouldn’t have had to take on the burden of taking care of Anya


    and her kids.

    The pension she had would have guaranteed her afortable retirement.


    But here she was taking care of Anya and Anya’s two children.


    Anya couldn’t stop the waves of guilt from surging inside her. She swore that she would repay Ellie


    back for what she had done after she had made a name for herself. She would make sure Ellie lived a


    comfortable life when she was rich.


    Dawn broke the next day.


    Anya woke up when the rm went off. Her two precious angels were still sound asleep.


    The young woman got out of bed quietly to wash up. Then, she headed outside for breakfast.


    Ellieid breakfast out on the table. She had gotten up early that morning to buy breakfast. “Anya,


    come and have breakfast.”


    “Ellie, that’s a lot of food for breakfast.” Anya sat down and reached out for a piece of toast and butter.


    They usually made do with a few slices of buttered toast for breakfast.


    The asions when they had waffles, scrambled eggs, and bacon were far and few between.


    The young


    10 woman wondered what asion it


    it was.


    Ellie took her seat at the table and smiled at her niece. “Have you forgotten what day it is today?”


    Anya froze momentarily. Work and Evan had her overwhelmed recently. She had no idea what day it


    was today at all. “What day is it?”


    “It’s your birthday, silly!”


    She had forgotten about that. Anya smacked her forehead lightly. “I’ve been so busytely. I can’t


    believe I forgot my own birthday.”


    “Let’s eat out tonight,” Ellie suggested. “I’ll buy dinner.”


    “I can’t have you buy dinner,” Anya blurted out. She wasn’t going to let her aunt use her pension to pay


    for her birthday dinner. “I’ll buy dinner. I’ve been thinking of buying Cindy dinner. We could have dinner


    together.”


    “I’m not going to let you pay for dinner,” Anya added. “You should keep that money. I’m working now.


    Let me pay for stuff.”


    Ellie knew that she wasn’t going to change Anya’s mind. She simply smiled. “Sure, that sounds like a


    great idea. I know how much Cindy cares for you. She’s a great friend.”


    “Yup.
