Chapter 1026 ying 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 pped his hands happily and eximed, "Awesome!"
The two kids yed 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 nts. Flowers
and other nts were in pots, and also growing around the area—trimmed to provide ess 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 thewn and pointed at the sun as
he said to her, "Gwyn, do you want to y 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 wee, sir. If that''s all, I''ll be getting back to work, now."
"Bye!"
After the assistant had left, Sheffield squatted down and handed the basketball to Gwyn. "Let''s go y
basketball!"
Gwyn took the basketball and ran after Sheffield to the basketball court.
There were two basketball stands on the court. Two others were already using one of them. Sheffield
took Gwyn to the other one.
He took the basketball from Gwyn and bounced it a couple times. "Get back a little bit," he said,
gesturing. The little girl was silent for a moment, then turned and walked obediently a little farther away.
"I''ll show you how to y."
Sheffield bounced the ball a couple more times and then raised his arms, throwing the ball up and into
the metal hoop at the top. It made a swooshing sound as the caught it for a second. Sheffield ran to
retrieve the ball.
She just stood there and watched him throw the ball and run after it. It was interesting.
He sank three baskets and motioned Gwyn toe over. "Come here, sweetie! Let me teach you how
to shoot!"
She walked towards him slowly. Sheffield handed the basketball to her and said, "Hold it."
The little cutie held the basketball tightly. Then Sheffield lifted her up and let her sit on his shoulders.
Suddenly she started giggling. Sheffield looked up to see if it was her.
Before he could do much else, Gwyn said, "Go."
He was sure that Gwyn wasughing. If she was happy, he was delighted as well. He felt alive. "Okay,
sit tight. Aaand shoot!"
He walked up to the basket. Although Gwyn sat on his shoulders, the basket was still too tall for her.
"Remember what I did, Gwyn? Lift the ball over your head, and throw it at the basket!" he instructed her
patiently.
Then, he heard Gwyn make some odd noises He wasn''t sure what she was doing, but he could feel
her throw the ball, and then, the basketball fell to the ground.
Even so, he praised, ""That''s right. Atta girl! Let''s go get the ball."
He ran over to get the ball, carrying Gwyn on his shoulders. She held onto his head for support, which
ended up with her sometimes covering his eyes. Soon, he heard herughing.
The little girl was a little afraid of the height. She wrapped her arms around Sheffield''s head tightly, and
her little body swayed back and forth with his footsteps.
They finally caught up with the ball. Sheffield put her down and let her pick it up, and then put the little
girl on his shoulders again.
Just like that, they yed on the court for half an hour, running after the basketball. Gwyn had a lot of
fun, but Sheffield was exhausted.
After they finished ying, Sheffield walked towards the drink stand, one arm holding the basketball
and the other holding Gwyn. "Thirsty? Let''s have a ss of juice and take a breather. We''ll y
something else afterward."
Gwyn said nothing, but nodded.
They took a ten-minute break at the juice stand. Stroking her hair, Sheffield asked her opinion. "There''s
lots of things we can doter. We can grab toys at a w machine, I can read to you in a bookshop, we
can go to the aquarium, y in the ocean ball pit, or maybe go to a toddler y ss, y with blocks
and try the instruments in the music ssroom. Pick one, and we''ll do it."
Before Terilynn dropped Gwyn off, Sheffield had considered all the things he could do with the girl.
These ces he had mentioned were nearby, so it was a small matter to take her there.
However, Gwyn simply pointed at the basketball.
"You want to y 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 y 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 upied.
"Little princess, do you think we should wait a while or y 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 hisp. 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.
