"Good night, Lawrence," I muttered before closing the door.
"Meanie," I could hear him say.
I can't believe the kind of mess my parents had gotten me into.
Chapter nine
Something Wrong
Ian
I took in a deep breath and knocked on the door.
"I'll get it!" Her sweet voice reached the door before she could.
"Don't run!" her mother warned.
"You're a nurse, you can easily handle it," her father said.
I could hear the rushing of her feet and the door opened.
"Uncle Ian!" Chloe greeted as she jumped repeatedly for me to lift her.
I carried her as she wished.
"God, you're turning seven this year, I can't keep lifting you," I sighed.
"Of course you can. Uncle Ethan said he would too," she said.
This kid was just seven and she already knew how to emotionally blackmail people. Her father had every right to worry when he talked about how intelligent she was.
"Oh look who's here," Olivia said as she waved from the kitchen.
"Good evening Olivia, where's the giant?" I asked.
"That's big brother giant to you," Ben said as he played with Sophia his second daughter.
The baby spotted me and started to giggle.
"Great, he stole another one," Ben said with exaggerated sigh.
If there's one thing good about me, children seemed to like me.
"Uncle Ian, I aced my math test," Chloe announced. "And Sophia can stand on her own now."
"You did? And she can?" I asked.
"See for yourself," Chloe said as she struggled to get down from my hand, but I refused to drop her, "Let me go."
"Only if you promise not to run," I warned.
"I promise," she said with an impish smile.
"Good," I put her down.
"Ah, I crossed my fingers," she said as she showed me her fingers, before speeding off.
"Be careful Chloe," Olivia warned.
