I MARRIED A WIDOWER WITH TWO LITTLE GIRLS — AFTER THE WEDDING, ONE OF THEM LOOKED AT ME AND WHISPERED, P3

After the wedding, I moved into Daniel's house.
The house was large and beautiful. But the door to the basement was always locked. Daniel never opened it when I was around.
When I asked why, Daniel explained that there was a lot of junk stored down there. To make sure the kids didn't accidentally run in and get hurt, he kept the door locked.
It sounded reasonable, so I didn't ask any more questions.
Sometimes Emily and Grace would glance strangely at the locked basement door.
One day, Daniel went to work, and I took the day off to take care of the girls because they were a little sick.
But kids that age are restless, aren't they? They still ended up playing hide-and-seek and running around the house, no matter how hard I tried to get them back into bed.
Grace ran up to me and said:
"Do you want to meet my mom? Then we could invite her to play hide-and-seek with us too."
I froze.
