Chapter 917 - By Mistake? (1/2)

Xiu couldn't dance for long in her condition so Darren made her sit down and asked others to continue with the dancing. Since it was the job of the best man and maid of honor to make sure the party must go on, both Dylan and Nora were hard at it.

Xiao Li was standing with his father as they watched everyone else dance in pairs. Suddenly, Xiao Li felt a tug at his sleeve and looked down. He smiled at the young girl and crouched down before, ”Yes, my dear Asteria.”

”Daddy, I want to dance too,” Asteria made a request.

Xiao Li touched her nose and nodded, ”Sure! Do you want to dance with daddy?” Asteria nodded her head in excitement and Xiao Li offered his hand to her, ”Then let's go, my little princess.”

He pulled Asteria to the dancefloor and danced with her happily making the little girl giggle with every twirl and turn.

On the other side, Jackie was also being pestered by his little niece who kept following him and even held his hand and pointed at the dance floor. Her meaning was all too clear. But Jackie was choosing to be ignorant.

Getting tired of running around, he faced Ava and said, ”Why are you so energetic today? And if you want to dance, go do it alone! Stop pulling me.” Ava pouted adorably and tears brimmed up in her eyes, ”Oh, keep your act to yourself!” Jackie knew her all too well. ”Don't even think I will fall for it. Besides, aren't you too young? How old are you?”

Ava lifted up four fingers just as he had taught her and Jackie smiled proudly, ”Good girl. If you're only four, do what four years old do.”

”JJ, what do they do?” she asked in a soft milky voice that could melt anyone's heart. Such pity she was facing Jackson Jing, her cruel uncle whose heart was like an iceberg even at this age!

”Four years old, go to sleep early! Go ahead and sleep now!”

Usually, Ava would listen to everything he says but today, she wasn't doing it. She still held his hand with her smaller ones and refused to let go.

Jackie took a deep breath and said, ”Fine! Just one time!” Ava's face lit up brighter than the lights that surrounded them right now.

And that's how even Jackie was added to the list of people who were dancing happily. Everyone was following their own pace without any care for the world.

Seeing her brother, Nora was amused to say the least. She didn't expect Jackie would give in to her daughter. But she clearly underestimated her daughter's stubbornness. However, with Jackie around she was usually reassured about her daughter. Even though Jackie bullied her little daughter but he also took care of her very well. So, she really couldn't complain much regarding this.

”Before she didn't like to leave my side,” grumbled Ah-Si.

Nora patted his head, ”Don't worry. She still loves you. Now, she just chose a new target to stick to.”

Ah-Si smiled softly, ”I don't mind. It allows me to spend more time with you.”

Nora tsked at him, ”Is that something you should say as a father?”

”No, but this is something I should say as your fiance,” he retorted.

The dancefloor was quite lively now and Xiu was watching all this from the side.

”Ava is gonna be something once she grows up,” said Xiu. ”She is already capable of making Jackie dance on her fingers. I wonder what will happen once they grow up.”
