Chapter 307 Win
Noah lingered on the sidelines, observing the interaction between Sadie and Averi, an unintentional smile forming on his
face.
“In this game, parents will carry their kids and hop toward the finish line,” Betsey announced through a loudspeaker.
Sadie inhaled deeply, crouching down so Averi could climb onto her back. “Hold on tight, sweetheart.”
“Okay!” Averi eagerly wrapped his arms around Sadie’s neck, his small face pressing against her back, basking in her
warmth.
“Ready, set, go!”
The whistle pierced the air, and the parents, clutching their children, sprang forward with determination.
Despite not being athletic, Sadie pushed herself for Averi’s sake.
Noah trailed closely, his focus fixed on Sadie, a flicker of worry in his eyes.
“Go, Mommy! Go, Mr. Wall!” Averi shouted excitedly, waving his tiny hands in encouragement.
Sadie gritted her teeth, sweat trickling down her forehead, refusing to slow down.
At last, they crossed the finish line.
Averi bounced up and down with excitement. “Mommy, we won!”
Sadie panted, but satisfaction radiated through her smile.
As the competition continued, they worked in perfect sync, dominating each round.
The final challenge was the “Three–Legged Race.”
Sadie and Noah stood side by side, their ankles securely bound.
“Stay in rhythm with each other,” Betsey reminded the competing parents.
“Understood.”
Sadie and Noah exchanged a determined look.
“Ready, set, go!”
At the sound of the whistle, they cautiously moved forward.
Initially, their movements were clumsy, nearly causing them to stumble.
“Watch out!” Noah steadied Sadie by gripping her waist.
Her heartbeat quickened, and a faint blush crept up her cheeks. “Thank you.”
“You’re welcome,” he murmured, his voice low and gentle.

Chapter 307 We
Gradually, they synchronized their paces, gaining confidence and speed.
“Go, Mommy and Daddy” Averi cheered from the sidelines
They surged shead, winning the race by a comfortable margin.
Averi squealed with joy, grabbing the trophy from Betsey and exclaiming “Mommy, Daddy, we did it!”
Then, beaming, he bolted toward Noah, wrapping his arms around him. “Daddy, you’re the best!”
Sadie froze. She hadn’t expected Averi to call Noah “Daddy” so openly.
She instinctively wanted to hush him, but seeing his pure joy, she hesitated.
Conflicting emotions swirled within her.
Noah embraced Averi firmly, his deep gaze locked on Sadie, amusement flickering in his expression.
Beyond the kindergarten’s iron fence, Kyla gripped the cold metal tightly, her knuckles turning pale. Her furious stare bored
into the trio on the playground
Noah’s commanding presence, Sadie’s warm smile, Averi’s carefree laughter… everything in front of her felt like sharp daggers to the heart.
Vivi stood beside her, arms crossed, smirking at the scene.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk. What a touching sight! Looks like Sadie played her cards well–using her son to tie Noah down. And you,
Kyla, the brilliant lawyer, might just end up losing everything.” Vivi said.
Kyla’s head snapped toward her, eyes blazing “Shut up! This isn’t over. Nothing is set in stone. Noah… Noah would never
leave me.”
“Oh? Is that what you think?” Vivi arched an eyebrow, her tone dripping with mockery. “Today, he publicly accepted Averi as his son. He spent the whole day playing with Sadie and the boy, looking every bit the devoted father. Anyone watching would assume they’re a real family.”
She paused before twisting the knife deeper. “And you? What’s your role now? A discarded ex?”
