My Second Marriage with the Mafia Kingpin novel Chapter 280

Chapter 280: A Lovely Win

"Yeah! Blue Team!!"

"Good job, Blue!"

"Blue all the way!"

"Let’s go, Blue Team!"

The Blue Team panted heavily as they collapsed onto their buttocks. For a second, none of them thought much about it, their minds still trying to process what had just happened.

In their minds, all they needed to do was pull with all their might.

But then, the once-silent gymnasium erupted.

The walls and floors shook from the thunderous cheers and roaring voices, snapping everyone out of their daze.

Primo and Elliot flinched at the noise as though a riot had broken out. When they looked up, all they saw was a wildly hyped crowd cheering for them and rallying behind their team.

Primo, especially, blinked in surprise. He held his breath briefly, his brows lifting as his eyes scanned the packed gymnasium. Only then did he realize how crowded it had become compared to when their game first started.

Students and parents from other grades had their own activities to attend to, yet somehow, many of them had gathered here just to watch.

It was just a children’s game, he thought.

Was there really a reason for everyone to be this excited?

Then Primo lowered his head briefly, thinking about it. The games were silly, yet now that he reflected on it, he realized he had taken them just as seriously as everyone else.

The corners of his lips curled upward as the roaring cheers from the audience washed over him.

Primo turned toward Ashley, and the other parents slumped on the floor. A second later, Ashley snapped her gaze toward him.

The corners of her mouth lifted as her face brightened.

"Primo!" she called happily. "We won! We won!"

Without thinking, Primo jumped to his feet and sprinted toward her before leaping into her arms.

"Oh, my god!" Ashley squealed, hugging him just as tightly. Beaming, she repeated, "We won!"

Julius chuckled as he watched the mother and son, noticing the other parents laughing and celebrating with their own children as though they were only now realizing they had actually won.

"Daddy!" Elliot jumped to his feet and hugged Julius from behind, wrapping his little arms around his father’s neck. "We won! You’re the best dad ever!"

Julius chuckled as he held his son’s arms and glanced back at him. "Did you have fun, son?"

"Mhm!" Elliot beamed. "That was so fun! Playing with Daddy!"

Julius smiled and nodded, letting Elliot cling to his back.

Perhaps this had become the most successful event of the entire Foundation Day. Not because of the competition, but because everyone had finally understood the true essence of it all.

This school catered to elites.

Every student attending came from a prominent family. Some were children of politicians, influential figures, celebrities, or powerful business families. Only a select few attended through scholarships.

In other words, most of the parents here were busy people.

Julius was no exception. His work demanded his constant attention and presence. Yet he still came because, somehow, this event gave him an excuse to say he was involved in his son’s life.

And perhaps many of the parents here felt the same way.

It wasn’t that they didn’t want to spend time with their children.

Work simply got in the way most of the time.

So for many of them, this was a first.

To focus entirely on something alongside their child.

Winning was merely a bonus. They had already gained something far more important—they felt closer to their children.

Meanwhile, Lucian let out a defeated sigh.
