Your juice is ready, I think." He grabbed the cup from the counter, glancing at the number to be sure it was theirs.

Before he let Gwyn take a drink, he called Joshua.

"Ask Terilynn how

Gwyn's stomach is. She allergic to anything?"

Joshua asked Terilynn and then answered, "She said no. She says Gwyn is perfectly healthy."

“That's good." Only then did he gently tell Gwyn, who had been holding the cup and waiting to drink, "You can drink it now.”

“Everything okay? Has Gwyn been good? If she gets to be too much, you can call us."

Sheffield didn't want to curse in front of Gwyn, so he tried to hold his temper.

“Bruh! Don't try that with me. I know you better than your father does. You kept trying to get me to come over, because you want me to take care of Gwyn. That way you can be alone with Terilynn. I'm not dumb."

Joshua grinned, "Dude, you know me too well. But get this: Carlos is very strict when it comes to Terilynn. I barely see her. But this is my chance. Carlos’ off on a business trip, so I can spend some quality time with my girlfriend. Sure, Terilynn and I can take care of Gwyn.

But what if I can't control myself around her and try something? It's not good if Gwyn gets exposed to that, right?”

Sheffield didn't want to waste any more time on Joshua.

"Cut the crap.

I'll keep Gwyn, then. Go on your date. She can sleep at my place tonight. I can pretend she's my daughter from now on."

Gwyn was really thirsty. She took a big gulp of the juice before stopping to take a breath.

“We'll come and get her when you get tired. ALL right, I'll let you get back to taking care of Gwyn, Uncle Sheffield!" Joshua joked.

Sheffield snorted and hung up the phone.

After drinking some juice, Gwyn held the cup and looked up at

Sheffield.

Sheffield put his phone in his pocket. He took the juice from Gwyn with one hand and held her in his other arm.

"Let's go, Gwyn. Ignore them.

I'll take you to buy some toys. How about a pair of beautiful princess shoes too?"

Two hours later, Terilynn was getting worried. She hadn't heard one word from Sheffield.

"Let's go find them. Gwyn is so cute, what if

Sheffield wants to keep her?" she told Joshua. Actually, she was simply afraid Sheffield would find out Gwyn was his biological daughter.
