Araceli POV
Valeria asked, "Mommy, can I call Mr. Lancaster 'Daddy'?"
Every word Valeria uttered was very clear, and there was excitement in her tone.
I was tempted to nod.
Because, I was Essel's mommy. Raphael was Valeria's daddy.
But I didn't dare to do so.
I slowly turned my face to Raphael.
Raphael's icy side face became gentle. He slowly said, "Valeria, as long as your mommy doesn't object, you can keep calling me daddy."
Valeria's eyes glowed as she looked over at me.
Anticipation was hidden in her eyes.
I frowned and nodded slightly.
"Okay."
Valeria happily pounces on Raphael.
"Daddy!"
"What about me? Can I call Ms. Chancey Mommy?"
Essel asked, looking up anxiously.
Raphael hugged Valeria and calmly said, "As long as Ms. Chancey doesn't mind, you can call her whatever you want."
Essel looked at me with wide eyes and asked expectantly and cautiously, "Ms. Chancey, can I call you Mommy?"
