Lewis curled his lips in a mocking smile.

“Of course!”

His eyes looked toward Athena with sharp, aggressive intensity. “My stamina is just fine. Mrs. Storm should be very aware of that.”

All the families were stunned.

The air around them suddenly went quiet, and a fascinating array of expressions played across the faces in the crowd.

The other parents looked at each other, sensing the tension. Was that really something you could say out loud?

Ronan’s smile froze on his face.

How was I supposed to respond to that?

He looked at Lewis, then at Zaden. Seeing they were just staring at each other without any intention of fighting, he breathed a sigh of relief.

After that comment, combined with their current relationship status, he was genuinely afraid. He thought they might start throwing punches.

Athena frowned. She thought Lewis had completely lost his mind.

Zaden chuckled softly. He said to Athena in a low voice, “The more someone cares about something, the more they need to emphasize it. You did complain to me about how … disappointing it was.”

What did he mean by “disappointing?”

The parents on the sidelines immediately perked up with excitement.

Were Zaden and Lewis about to start airing each other’s dirty laundry?

From what Zaden was implying, Athena wasn’t too satisfied with Lewis. She thought he was weak?

Many people looked toward Lewis with scrutinizing, probing gazes.

Lewis’s face darkened. He was breathing heavily with anger.

Had they really gotten to that point already?

Seeing the situation was getting out of hand, Ronan didn’t dare to let them continue. He quickly stepped in to change the subject, “Next group, please begin!”

Lewis jumped into the pool with a dark expression.

He looked toward Athena with a cold expression. I’ll definitely be better than Zaden!

Athena looked up at Zaden, and the speechless frustration she had felt a moment before began to fade.

She knew Zaden was standing up for her. It wasn’t just to go head–to–head with Lewis.

He wanted to draw all the attention to himself so no one would focus on her.

Lewis was probably acting out. He couldn’t accept the situation and kept trying to cause trouble.

There was no way to erase what had happened in the past. Since she and Lewis were already divorced, she didn’t need to care about him. As long as she lived her own life well and was happy, that was the best revenge.

Lewis’s team had already started their competition.

Their movements were slow, a clear sign the chemistry between them was gone. Lewis’s frustration boiled over, and he couldn’t help but snap at Nina.

“Stop moving around!”

Nina felt extremely wronged. She had been lying obediently on Lewis’s back without moving a muscle–he was the one who couldn’t get it right, and yet he was blaming everything on her.

“I’m not moving at all, Lewis. Focus on the race instead of blaming me. With an attitude like that, you don’t stand a chance against Zaden and Athena.”

Perhaps the words “don’t stand a chance” hit Lewis.

His expression darkened with a competitive fury. As if injected with adrenaline, he stopped caring if Nina was holding on and focused solely on winning.

Nina hadn’t expected Lewis to suddenly speed up.

She couldn’t react in time. She let out a surprised yelp and failed to hold on tight. She couldn’t stop herself from screaming.

Nina fell backward off Lewis’s back. Lewis was still holding her legs. She pulled him down with her as they both crashed into the pool.

Splash! Seeing this situation, Athena laughed.

Lewis and Nina had fallen into the pool. This essentially ended their race.

Their final completion time was the longest out of everyone, so they were dead last.

Ronan announced the results of the first competition. Zaden and Athena had won first prize. Teri received a small medal.

The other children came over to congratulate Teri.

Teri held the medal as a small dimple appeared at the corner of her mouth. This was the first time she had participated in a competition like this with her father and mother–and they had won an award.

She would definitely make Athena her real mother.

Dion stood nearby looking completely unhappy. When they lost earlier, he had felt very angry. When he learned they had come in dead last, he cried for a long time.

Now seeing Teri so happily surrounded by people congratulating her, jealousy bubbled up again in his heart.

This deceiver who was fooling Mommy! So what if she got first place?

Once he exposed her true colors, Mommy wouldn’t like her anymore!

Dion looked coldly at Teri. He said resentfully, “Hmph, don’t get too proud. You won’t be laughing much longer. Just you wait and see!”
