Take My Breath Away

Chapter 1006 She Looks A Lot Like Sheffield

"Hey little girl, can you say your name? No? Come on, don't cry. I'll buy you something yummy. Okay?" In Sheffield's eyes, every expression on the little girl's face was so lovely and adorable, melting his heart. He liked the little tyke a lot. That in spite of himself.

Gwyn hiccupped. Although she didn't stop crying, at least she was quieter.

A very different voice called out to them. "Hello! You there!" Just then, three policemen on patrol came over and looked them up and down.

"What's up?" Joshua had a bad feeling about this. 'Are they here responding to a human trafficking report?' he wondered.

"Why is she crying? Are you guys related?" The police looked at each of them carefully, looking for signs of malfeasance.

Terilynn rolled her eyes and said, "Officer, do you need your eyes checked? This is Joshua Fan, Darius Fan's kid. You know—the former mayor?" Thenher hand on Sheffield's shoulder. "And this gentleman here is the current CEO of Theo Group. You seriously think we're human traffickers?"

The three policemen looked at each other, and then one of them said, "I think we need to check IDs, just to be sure. May I have them, please?"

Joshua cooperatively took out his ID card and explained, "The baby is related to my girlfriend. This girl took one look at me and started crying. Afraid of strangers, I guess."

They looked. He was who they said he was. However, that was not enough to prove that he was the son of Darius Fan.

Seeing the still-suspicious look in the policeman's eyes, Terrilynn also took out her ID card to drive the point home. "Here's my ID. My father is Carlos Huo. We own this place!" She gestured to Shining International Plaza. She continued, "Don't believe me? I'll call the manager of the Alioth Building and ask him to come here to confirm it."

They were pretty close to the Alioth Building. So she had to find the nearest manager.

Gwyn's cries had largely subsided, and she was just weeping and fussing now. She pressed her little face against Sheffield's chest, and choked a little.

Finally, the police believed them and left. After sending the police away, Terilynn looked at Sheffield in surprise. "She really stopped crying!" And why should she be surprised? 'I guess they're right, ' she thought. 'Fathers and daughters do have a special bond.'

Sheffield held G

still nice to her. I care about her a lot." She only had one niece so far, so of course, she treated Gwyn very well.

Just like what she did now. She created a chance for the baby to get along with her own father. Wasn't that a nice thing to do?

Joshua looked at her and asked, "Okay. Where are we headed now?"

"To an optician. I have lost a contact lens." She lost it this morning.

"Let's go."

In the shopping mall

Sheffield took Gwyn to the floor with toys and games. When they passed by a large indoor amusement park, he took a look at the little one in his arms and pointed to the place full of children. "Do you want to play in there, Gwyn?"

The little girl just looked in the direction where he pointed. After a long while, she suddenly held his neck tightly and buried her face on his shoulder instead of looking at the amusement playground.

Sheffield was stunned by her reaction, not knowing what she meant. Did she want to go or not?

"How about I take you on the merry-go-round?"

Gwyn didn't respond either.

Sheffield communicated with her patiently. "Check that out. All those kids are enjoying the rides with their parents. Let's ride one together, okay?"

Then he found that the little girl's head, which had been buried in his shoulder, slowly tilted towards the double-decker merry-go-round. She opened one of her eyes and stared at it.

Three minutes later, she finally cast a glance at Sheffield.

Sheffield understood immediately. He smiled and hugged the girl tightly. "Come on. Let's go ride on the horse."
