Host: "Parents and kids, please be careful out there! Once everyone is ready, we'll begin!"
Quinn stood at the starting line with the twins. Luna's eyes were practically sparkling as she gripped her mother's fingers tightly.
At the sound of the whistle, the kids took off. "Caleb, hurry!"
The two little ones and their mom used the net to catch the balls. Quinn passed to Luna, and Caleb passed to Miles.
The four of them fell into a surprisingly perfect rhythm. "Go, Weird Uncle!"
"Go, Mommy!"
"Go, sweeties!"
They completed several laps in rapid succession. The twins were fast—Caleb was incredibly steady, though Luna got a little too eager and dropped a few balls, which Caleb quickly helped scoop back up.
The host naturally noticed them and narrated excitedly:
"Caleb Chase's family is currently in the lead! Lara's family is doing great too, but they seem a bit rushed and took a few tumbles, losing some balls along the way, so their total count isn't quite as high.
"This game is the ultimate test of teamwork and chemistry!
"You have to be steady! Don't rush it!
"Ten seconds left on the clock! Countdown..."
Miles gazed down at those two bright, ecstatic little faces, his chest flooding with warmth as he sprinted back and forth two more times.
He was determined to win first place today and put his kids on the champion's podium.
The host blew the whistle to signal the end of the round. "Alright, time's up!
"Let's count them up and see which family collected the most ocean balls!"
Luna waved her little hands in the air joyfully. "Us! Us! Our basket has the most balls!"
The host barely even needed to count; the winner was obvious.
When the host announced that Caleb's family of four had won the first round, Luna and Caleb cheered at the top of their lungs.
"Mommy, we got first place!"
Watching this picture-perfect family from a distance, Ethan felt the sting of Miles's words echoing in his ears: *'Blood ties conquer everything.'* Wave after wave of bitterness washed over his heart.

Lol.. this guy is a complete fool , I dont know how he is the top predator , he rather believes Jade than Doctor's diagnosis 🙄 he is rich , if he didn't believe that particular doc ,he cud take her to another doctor. N he says he thinks of her as sis I mean no brother is this obsessed with his sis ,he does have a bio sis, he doesnt behave with her like that....
Whats wrong with grandparents in this kind of stories? They force the wife to stay even if she is miserable bcos they believe their grandson loves her but never tell how a married guy shud behave just enabling his behavior. 😏...
He can be friends with Jade with no boundaries but she cant be friends with Ethan? Such hypocrisy. So he does know the way he is being with Jade is wrong and still does it...
This guy brought the kid against her mom's wishes and he doesn't even respect her n when her kids are hurt she can't even fight? What gives him the right? He is just plain disgusting...
Why does he have authority over other kids? Why wud he send his assistant to bring the kids over against their mom's wishes? This guy is just stupid ,it's like a mad n stupid dog sitting on money n just doing whatever he feels like without an ounce of respect for others....
You are just a snob and holier than thou person....
His aristocratic upbringing stopped him from losing composure? Seriously , his aristocratic upbringing is not that great , he got no morals , only using underhanded tactics on a helpless individual . He got money ,so it's a viable sophistry when his heart is rotten. When the winter's family is in the wrong ,why is he scared of them attacking his wife and the winter's family doesn't even give him a shot n he still acts like a dog for them. Please don't make him the endgame for her....
It's for her own good . He is afraid of Arthur Quinn ? I mean what use is he as a husband when he's afraid of someone will ruin his wife's career n already had done once and he still doesn't have the guts to stand up for her? He can only show his power n abuse on innocent ones with no background like his wife? How disgusting is he? N he thinks he's above everyone and even when he looks down upon someone bcos she is a maid's daughter , when he is this spineless?...
Why only one episode uploading for the last 2 days?...
I would have accepted the jerk husband ending up with the heroine if he’s only powerful, intelligent but he’s so powerless and so stupid....
