“But Mommy, you’re so tall” Renfrew blinked and then looked at Rickard. “If you were to go into the
race with me, you’ll probably cause me to fall, won’t you? Then won’t I ruin this suit that Great-grandpa
gave me ? Great-grandpa has always liked to see me in this little suit, so if I were to trip and fall…”
“All right, all right.” Hesper interrupted him with a smile and glanced at Rickard in extreme
embarrassment “You little imp, don’t bring Great-grandpa into this.”
Renfrew was proud of his achievement. Then will you do what Great-grandpa wants?”
“How would I dare to defy your great-grandpa?” Hesper rubbed Renfrew’s head, and then looked at
Rickard. The two of them gazed at Rickard together. “I have no problem with what you want, but I don’t
know if someone else will say no to that.”
“Daddy…”
Staring at Hesper’s indifferent gaze, Rickard helplessly took a glance at Renfrew, who had been
winking at him, nodded, and agreed. “I’m fine with it.”
Hence, the two adults’ legs were tied together with the same rope.
Being so closely linked to each other by a rope was something that had never happened before
between. the two of them.
Unexpectedly, Hesper did not reject this kind of contact very much. In fact, when the two of them
started running, they were more in tune than expected. They looked so in sync that it felt like they were
one. While the other parents still had not figured out the rhythm to follow, the two of them were already
able to run at normal speed on the not-too-long plastic runway.
It was a rather easy win.
Hesper subconsciously looked at Rickard’s side profile. The man seemed to be completely unaffected
by the result of the race as he untied the rope on her leg with his slender fingers. His fingers were
acting very cautiously and lightly as if he was afraid that the thin rope would strangle and hurt her
ankle.
Hesper fell into a trance for a split second, then stood up. “Alright.”
Perhaps it was because of the design tournament’s hectic schedule and that she had been busy with
work in the company for several days after coming back from the recording, but Hesper had not gotten
a good rest. So the moment she stood up, the sight in front of her eyes went dark.
Hesper swayed from side to side but was then supported by a hand.
“What’s the matter…? Are you okay?”
She was feeling absolutely fine before he asked her the question, but as soon as the question escaped
Rickard’s mouth, Hesper started feeling a little tired all of a sudden.
However, she was only slightly tired, so after resting in Rickard’s arm and under his concerned gaze for
quite some time, Hesper opened her mouth and whispered, “I’m fine.”
Rickard did not know how to proceed with the conversation, so he could only reply softly, “Oh, okay.”
The teachers and parents witnessing the race from the side of the arena were a little astounded. In
fact, this kind of fun sports day would not ask its participants to perform very difficult sports tasks. After
all, it was just a simple activity that aimed to promote familial harmony.
But not only were the two of them completely in sync and did not slow down during the whole race, but
they managed to leave the other contestants far behind at the end… It was rather humiliating to the
other
participants.
The two went on to win the next few rounds of competition. Renfrew was as happy as a lark as he went

Arriving at another round of the parent-child race, Renfrew grabbed Rickard’s hand, went into the
arena, and then whispered to him, “Just look at how well I’m doing today Mommy seems to be treating
you much better! Although you’re my daddy, if you bully Mommy, she’ll be very sad.” Renfrew looked
serious. ” And if Mommy is sad, I’ll be sad too. However, I’m still a very fragile human being, so if I were
to feel very sad, I might die-Ahem, I might… I might not be able to eat any delicious food.”
