Kallie chuckled. “Oh, it’s not that I’m not fond of him, sweetie. I just prefer maintaining some distance. You shouldn’t neglect others on my account. Remember, he has been kind to you. As long as you feel right about it, he remains your uncle.”

Elma nodded, her understanding dawning on her as a yawn escaped her lips. “Mom, I’m really sleepy now.”

“Alright, let’s get you to bed,” Kallie said, lifting Elma up in her arms.

The day of the big performance arrived swiftly. Sophie, despite having been in numerous events and major contests, felt the familiar stir of nerves.

Kallie and the other two children were there to support Sophie.

Calvin and Elma buzzed excitedly around Sophie.

“Don’t worry. It’ll all go smoothly.”

“You’re a genius at playing the piano. You’re the best in my heart.”

“Take it easy. No pressure.”

As Sophie watched the sincere expressions on the faces of her younger siblings, she couldn’t help but chuckle, her anxiety melting away. “I’m going to give it everything I’ve got. I want to dedicate this performance to you.”

Soon, it would be Sophie’s time to shine on stage. She was anxiously going over her sheet music when suddenly, someone rushed up, shouting her name with enthusiasm, “Miss Nixon, it’s me!”

Sophie spun around, and her eyes lit up in recognition of the little girl she had come to the aid of previously.

On that very day, Kallie had escorted the girl to reconnect with her original sponsor to revise certain agreements.

Things unfolded just as Kallie had suspected. The girl’s sponsor firmly stated he could no longer provide assistance, and his hands were tied. Despite his considerable wealth, his family resided overseas, and he steered clear of the risk of messing with any gangs. Kallie chose to step in as the new sponsor, which proved to be a wise move.

As they prepared to leave, the girl kneeled and paid deep respects to her previous sponsor. She harbored no resentment for their decision to cut ties midway. It was, after all, a choice anyone in their situation might have made.

Kallie could see that the girl was grateful, and this only strengthened her resolve to support her.

The girl introduced herself as Elva Riley, a charming name. She explained that her previous name had been Allen, a distinctly masculine name chosen by her former sponsor.

Elva cherished her new name, dreaming of one day embodying the freedom of a crane, soaring high above the world.

Sophie struck up a conversation with Elva, radiating warmth like a nurturing big sister.

Elva looked up at Sophie with admiration. “Miss Nixon, you’re radiant today, and your piano skills are simply stunning. I’m sure you’re going to win first place.”

Sophie smiled gently. “You can just call me Sophie. And these are my siblings, Calvin and Elma. They’re about your age.”

Elva introduced herself to them, her previous shyness melting away as her confidence grew. Her cheeks dimpled as she smiled, adding to her youthful charm.

Kallie smiled contentedly as the children played and laughed around her.
