Louis Cox let go of him.
Edward Davis nodded and smiled at Ivy Cox, and then left with a tingling scalp.
Louis Cox bent down to pick up the little girl, tapped her cheek, and said, "Uncle has something to do. Be a good girl, Maeve, and go play with your mom. See that," he pointed casually with a smile, "there's cake over there."
"I don't want to eat it." The little girl clung tightly to his neck, snuggling around.
With her round and chubby appearance, she was absolutely adorable. Mia Ginger was momentarily stunned, and then her lips curled into a smile as she curiously asked, "You have such a big niece?"
"Indeed," Louis Cox pouted, "she's like a little tail that follows me everywhere. It's quite annoying."
Beside them, Ivy Cox playfully punched his shoulder and said with mock annoyance, "If she's annoying, give her to me. I bet she wouldn't even want you to hold her. Seriously."
