Chapter 991 - Smartest One (2/2)
Jackie slapped the back of her head, ”I don't need you to tell me what I am. You're still 4 years younger than me. Also, I'm your uncle. Not your friend. Don't just say whatever comes to your mouth.”
”It's hard to see you as my uncle,” she mumbled. ”As you just said, we are bȧrėly 4 years apart. What kind of an uncle and niece have 4 years age difference?”
”I have even met an uncle who is even younger than his nephew!”
”Huh? Who?” questioned Ava curiously.
”Ronan is younger than Rowan!” reminded Jackie.
Ava's lips twitched as she thought about her dear cousin Rowan's uncle, Ronan Han. It was indeed as Jackie just said, Ronan was born even after Rowan. What a mess was this family? Everyone's relationship is twisted around.
Ava rubbed her forehead, ”I keep forgetting that our family has everything one can ask for.”
”Be glad you have such an entertaining family,” said Jackie as he took the fruit basket from her and picked his own to leave.
”Who said I am not glad?” asked Ava as she skipped over to his side and held his arm. ”I know I have the best family in the world. It's a family that can make anyone feel envious.” She grinned foolishly to herself as she continued, ”I have the coolest and handsome-st grandfather. I have a loving dad and an annoying mom. I even have my Uncle Li who is so caring and loving. And let's not forget my most awesome Xiuxiu! Even my grandma is a badass fighting criminal in court. Oh, and I also have you!”
”That's it?”
”What?”
”You added so much with everyone. Even Nora got 'annoying' attached to her name. What about me? Why was it so bland? 'I also have you?' That's all?”
Ava laughed out, ”Why are you being so picky?” She shook his arm in a spoiled manner, ”You are my best uncle. How can anyone compare to you? No way! You're the most special to me.”
”Oh? Am I now?”
”Yes!” She looked at him, ”Don't you remember that the first person I ever talked to was you? It shows how special you are to me.”
”You don't even remember that,” Jackie pointed out for her. ”You're only 4 back then. You definitely don't remember that it was only after I threatened you that you started speaking.”
Ava gasped at him, ”JJ, how can you do that to poor me?”
”Poor you? You spoiled brat! You're throwing your weight around just because your dad was willing to spoil you to heaven. I had to take extreme measures!”
”Still, you're still the first one I talked to,” she argued in an aggrieved manner.
”That's indeed true,” agreed Jackie. ”And then you loved to cling to me like a piece of sticky gum. It was really annoying.”
”You found me annoying?”
”I still do,” he told her. ”But now I have come to love the 'annoying' you.”
Ava smiled proudly, ”Then it doesn't matter how annoying I am as long as you're able to go along with me.”
Jackie kicked her leg gently as he said, ”Also, stop calling my sister Nora as annoying. She is your mother.”
”Haha...” Ava laughed dryly.. ”But it can't be helped.”
