Take My Breath Away

Chapter 1026 Playing Basketball

Watching Sheffield holding Gwyn in his arms, Nastas looked at his big brother sadly. He wasn't holding him. So he requested, "Brother, hug."

Sheffield squatted down and held him too. One kid in each arm.

Feeling loved, Nastas clapped his hands happily and exclaimed, "Awesome!"

The two kids played in the office for at least half an hour more before Lea came to pick Nastas up.

At the sight of a stranger, Gwyn instantly hid herself in Sheffield's arms.

Staring at the little girl in pink, Lea asked, astonished, "Sheffield, whose child is this?"

"She's the daughter of a friend," he replied indifferently.

"Oh." Not bothering to think about it too much, Lea looked at her son and said happily, "Nastas, baby, it's time to go home."

After Lea and Nastas left, Sheffield cleaned up the office and left too, Gwyn in his arms.

There was a park beside the offices of Theo Group, which had a stunning variety of plants. Flowers and other plants were in pots, and also growing around the area—trimmed to provide access to trails and such. There was a football field and basketball court, as well.

The air was fresh, and it was a beautiful day. Sheffield put Gwyn on the lawn and pointed at the sun as he said to her, "Gwyn, do you want to play here awhile? The sun feels nice."

Gwyn just looked at him without saying anything.

Sheffield was patient and added gently, "I'll take that as a yes."

Unexpectedly, this time, Gwyn responded, "Okay."

Her short response sent a tingle of happiness through him. He felt that the little girl liked him, just like he liked her.

After walking around hand in hand with the girl, he called Tobias. "I'm in the park next to our offices. Can you get someone to bring a basketball here?"

"Yes, Mr. Tang."

Soon, an assistant arrived, a brand-new basketball in his hands. He looked at Gwyn curiously and handed the basketball to Sheffield without questioning it. "Here's the basketball you requested, Mr. Tang."

"Thanks!"

"You're welcome, sir. If that's all, I'll

y, so it was a small matter to take her there.

However, Gwyn simply pointed at the basketball.

"You want to play more basketball?" Sheffield asked in surprise.

Gwyn looked at him without saying a word.

He understood her silence meant yes.

But he didn't understand why Gwyn enjoyed basketball so much. Although he carried her around on his shoulders, she couldn't make a basket. She didn't have the satisfaction of being good at the game. Why did she still want to play basketball?

Even though he was confused, he returned to the basketball court with her in his arms.

But by now, both of the two baskets were occupied.

"Little princess, do you think we should wait a while or play something else?" asked Sheffield.

Gwyn didn't say a word as she looked at the basketball court. Sheffield tried to pull her away. "Let's do something else."

The little one didn't move.

Now he understood. He let go of her hand and said, "Okay, let's watch for a bit."

He took out a pack of tissues from his pocket and spread several tissues on the grass. He sat down first.

He had intended to have Gwyn climb onto his lap. When he tucked the pack of tissues back in his pocket, Gwyn, basketball in her arms, was struggling to do just that.

She was so cute! What she was doing amused Sheffield. He reached out and pulled her into his arms.
