Chapter 57
Quinn
“Quinn! Let’s go there. My nephew Junior exclaimed, pointing at a part of the venue stacked with snacks. I gritted my teeth, hearing him call me by my name. He still hadn’t changed, junior was a mischievous kid. Even people older than him didn’t dare call me without respect, but here this six- year–old was calling my name without respect.
While looking at the place he was pointing, I rollided with someone. Ewas about to mutter sorry when I saw who it was. It was Terry, and Moon stood beside him. We glared at each other for some seconds, before Moon gigglel

I explained to him that I didn’t know that I would come, that I was here on my nephew’s behalf. I wondered when I started explaining things to a kid. Not just any kid, my ex–wife’s kid. With everything going on, I was supposed to avoid him, to not talk to him like his mother wanted. But I couldn’t he was just a kid and didn’t deserve to get tangled up in all these

“I believe you. Meet my Uncle Terry Uncle Terry, meet Mr. Quinn, my friend from mom’s party. He Terry kept mute, still giving me cold looks. I did the same too. Moon seemed to notice something was off and asked. “Why aren’t you saying anything? Do you know each other before?”
“No we don’t” Terry and I replied at the same time. I didn’t want to acknowledge knowing Terry, same with him too. “Hmm. seems like you do.” My demon of a nephew suddenly said
1 gritted my teeth and glared at him. He must have noticed something, he was too sharp for his age.
Terry succumbed to please Moon I guess, and offered me his hand,
“Nice to meet you. Mr. Quinn.” He said, like we were just meeting for the f
first time.
Nice to meet you too, Mr. Terry” I said, accepting the handshake.
To my relief. Terry pulled Moon about to leave when Junior blurted, “So we kids wouldn’t be g

“Mr. Quinn, you u didn’t tell me you had a nephew. I would have a friend” Moon said, facing me.
-Sorry, Moon, I didn’t tell you because I had a demon for a nephew I wanted to say this, but I hit my tongue.
“Tim sorry, it didn’t cross my mind. Now you guys have met and introduced, you’ve taken a step” I said instead, forcing a smile
I knew Moon and Junior attended the same school, but I was worried that they would meet because the school was big, and junior was a class

“Yes we can” Moon innocently agreed.
To my surprise. he took Moon hands and they both walked away, leaving me and Terry Junior did not like making friends or moving with kids his age, he was particularly interested in computers. His parents noticed this and got him a private computer teacher, who taught him coding, hacking: and all. He was smarter than kids his age, so I wasn’t surprised he learned easily.
It was quite surprising to see him walking and even holding hands with another kid. Terry and I silently followed. Walking beside Terry. I remembered the Veronica’s incident. Grandma Mira didn’t even look at me, she was probably disappointed.
“I’m sorry.” I muttered, to my surprise.
He faced me, giving me strange looks
“I apologize for the incident with Veronica, it wouldn’t happen again, I made sure of it.” I concluded.
He scoffed. “You’re apologizing to the wrong person. If you’re truly sorry, apologize to Ana and get Veronica to apologize to her.”
I couldn’t go to Ana, she probably didn’t want to see me. Getting Veronica to apologize was not a problem, but seeing her might piss Ana off.

I could hear the whisperings of the young waitresses as they spoke in hushed tones, while gazing at us. I ignored all of their whispers until i heard. “Look at their cold faces. Terry young has a boyish look. Looking at them makes me wet
I didn’t care what they said about Terry, it was his problem to solve. But they had classified us together. I gave a hard glare at the girl who said that, she noticed my gazed and fled. I watched her look in Terry’s direction and blushed before fleeing.
Was Terry flirting with them!
I subtly looked at Terry, the look on his face made me want to burst out laughing, but I held myself. The look on his face was a “hard glare gone wrong.” Well, he had a kind of boyish innocent looking face. He thought he was glaring at the girl, but he looked like a drenched lost puppy “Try squinting your eyes and harden y your face a little. Not even a kid would be scared of your glare.” I couldn’t help but say to him, “What do you mean?” He asked.
I mean is y

His expression turned black, as he turned to face me.
