The Billionaire's Heir I Never Knew Was Mine novel Chapter 155

Chapter 155: Skylar’s Birth Mother

"Aunty Sienna, I heard from Daddy that you’re going to be my mommy..." Skylar paused briefly before continuing. "Is that true?"

Sienna smiled and returned to the seating area.

The apartment suddenly felt warmer than before, perhaps because of the little boy sitting on the couch, or perhaps because of the news they were finally able to share.

She sat down next to him, close enough that their shoulders almost touched.

Skylar immediately turned toward her, his bright eyes shining with excitement that he could barely contain.

But instead of answering his earlier question, Sienna gently asked, "So, your daddy already told you about it?"

Skylar nodded several times without hesitation. The happiness on his face was impossible to miss.

"Yes," he said eagerly. "Daddy said... You will move to our house."

However, as soon as the words left his mouth, the excitement in his eyes faded. A trace of worry appeared there, as though he feared she might suddenly tell him it was not true after all.

He stared at her carefully, then asked in a quieter voice, "Is that true, Auntie?"

Sienna reached for his small hand, and the moment his fingers curled around hers, an unexpected warmth spread through her chest.

"Yes," she answered softly.

Skylar’s eyes widened.

"Your daddy and I are getting married," she continued, unable to suppress the smile that spread across her face, "and, of course, I will move into your house."

For a brief second, Skylar stared at her as if he needed to make sure he had heard correctly.

Then his entire face lit up.

"Yay!" he shouted, nearly bouncing off the couch. "I’m so happy! I finally have a mommy!"

The pure happiness in his voice touched her deeply.

"I’m happy too," she said. "We will finally live together as a family in the same house..."

Skylar grinned from ear to ear. "Then we can eat breakfast together every day, right!?"

"We can."

"And dinner too."

"Hmm... We can do that."

"And movie nights."

She nodded.

"And weekends."

"Yes."

"And holidays."

Sienna laughed. "Sky, I think you’ve already planned the next ten years."

"Maybe," he admitted proudly.

The two of them sat together for a moment, enjoying the happiness that filled the room. Yet despite her smile, there was still something weighing on Sienna’s mind. It had been bothering her ever since Zachary told her about their future together, and she found herself needing to know how Skylar truly felt.

Her fingers tightened slightly around his hand before she asked, "Sky," she said carefully. "Can I ask you a question?"

"Sure, aunty..." He blinked at her curiously. "What is it?"

For a moment, she hesitated.

Then she quietly asked, "If I marry your father, won’t you be concerned about your birth mother?"

Instantly, the smile slowly disappeared from Skylar’s face. His cheerful expression faded into something thoughtful and distant, and seeing that change alone made Sienna instantly regret asking.

A wave of guilt washed over her.

"I’m sorry, Sky," she quickly said. "I didn’t mean to make you sad."

"No, Auntie." Skylar shook his head almost immediately. "I’m not sad."

His expression softened again, though he still looked confused.

"I just don’t know how to answer." He said.

Sienna frowned slightly.
