A promise: That changed my life

Daniel

"Hey! I am gonna win!" I blurted out, excitedly as I was almost near to crossing the winning line in the video game but before that my nephew Jason took over my car, finishing the line.

"No!" 

"Yes!! I won, Uncle dan!" He yelled in my ears, "This is the tenth time I won in the row!" He added, putting salt on my wounds.

"Don't be so happy, I have won this game many times, okay? I just let my little nephew win this time, " I stated in an attempt to cover my embarrassment of losing the game from a 6-year-old child.

He rolled his eyes, "Nope! You are just covering up, Uncle dan, "

"No, I am not, "

"Yes, you are!"

I showed my tongue at him, annoyingly, "I said, I am not!"

He also showed me his tongue when I called his mom to slash my sister, "Elle, your son has forgotten the manners, he is showing me his tongue, " I fake a complaint with a smirk, she came out from the kitchen, irritated.

"Jason, this is bad manners! Say sorry to him, " She ordered him, he looked at me angrily as I was silently laughing at him.

"Right now!"

"I am sorry, " With that, he went to his room, poor kid. And yes, you can give me all the credit for being a big bad Uncle.

"I am also sorry from his side, he's exactly like his father, " Elle said, sighing over him.

I mentally chuckled, "It's fine, Sis, "

When my phone rang in my jeans with an unknown number flashing over the screen, "I think you have to answer to see who's calling you, " Elle spoke, looking at my phone, I gave her a small nod, answering the call. As she went back to the kitchen.

"Hello?"

voice frank trying to make it sound usual, he was happy for a moment but when I tried to take her topic out, I felt him getting pissed already, Shit! I screw it! And don't ask how many yells he threw at me if I was there in front of me, he must have killed me to death by now when I finally said her name but suddenly he finished his last line with, "Danny, If you are really craving that much into helping her, then go ahead and do it happily, and remember that your existence wouldn't matter to me anymore if I ever heard anything about her from your mouth again, " With
