When Steve heard my sweet voice, he snapped out of his shock and confusion. Steve thought that after so many years of business, he had become resilient in reacting to shocking situations. Yet, somehow, Sheila was able to shock him so much that he had forgotten to respond.

He had never thought that a five-year-old could do make him so stunned so easily.

Steve looked at Sheila and smiled, as if he had traveled back in time to more than ten years ago. Steve still clearly remembered the first time his sister put on a princess dress and ran over excitedly, standing in front of him to show him.

At that time, Steve would never have thought that he would fall out with his sister, and he would never have thought that he would be separated from her so soon.

The laughter of the past seemed to still be vivid in his mind, but now things had changed. Fortunately, fate was not too cruel to him. He still had the little angel-like Sheila by his side.

Looking down at the expectant and proud expression of little Sheila in front of him, Steve’s gloomy mood caused by those bad memories was also swept away. He said in a somewhat mocking tone, “You little elf, how did you suddenly think of dancing?”

Of course, I couldn’t say what I really thought. Thankfully, with my intelligence, an excuse had already been prepared.

“Uncle Steve, next week my school will be holding a cultural performance. I want to perform a dance. Can you be my dance partner?” I said in a childish voice, but my body was in the standard dance partner invitation posture.

This morning, the school did say that there would be a cultural performance, but it was voluntary. At that time, I was really not interested in children’s performances and ideas. It was only when I returned home and watched TV that I was inspired to dance with Uncle Steve. Of course… more importantly, I wanted to show my sexy side in front of Steve.

Steve smiled and half-squatted down to receive my hand in a gentlemanly and elegant manner. He mimicked my tone and laughed, “My dear little angel Sheila, even if I wanted to dance with you, I wouldn’t be able to. The difference in height between us is too big. Do you want me to keep half-squatting to dance with you?”

I didn’t know why, but I felt a little unhappy when I saw Steve repeatedly shirking. Although I knew that he was telling the truth and that he wasn’t making excuses, I couldn’t control my emotions.

I snorted and pulled my hands out of his palms. I deliberately turned away from him and pouted. I said angrily, “Alright, since you aren’t willing to dance with me, I’ll have to invite Randall from next door.”

After saying that, I turned around and walked out of the door in disappointment.

Before I reached the door, I was picked up by someone from behind, and the faint scent of sandalwood instantly enveloped me.

“Why are you so angry? I only said that there was a big difference in height. I didn’t say that I wouldn’t dance with you. Come, I just thought of a good idea. I will carry you down.”

Steve coaxed Sheila dotingly as he thought in his heart, how could he let little Sheila look for Randall next door? Their whole family clearly had intentions to kidnap his little angel, Sheila. Steve was already unhappy with them, so why would he give Randall with such a good opportunity to get close to me?

I put my arm around Steve’s neck and gave him an inconspicuous smile. My little trick worked, and I was happy to see Steve jealous. Hahahaha, of course, I wouldn’t have really asked Randall to be my dance partner.

In fact, I had already decided that if Steve really didn’t want to dance with me, then I wouldn’t sign up for the show.

Steve carried me down to the dining room table and placed me gently on the table. He turned on the stereo in the living room..
