As Summer was talking to Audrey, both of them stole a glance in sync at Ashton, who always looked expressionless.
Under normal circumstances, Ashton wouldn’t entertain anyone’s demand. Surprisingly, Ashton wasn’t angry and only fell silent. A few seconds later, he gave in and said, “As you wish!”
It turned out that Ashton’s daughters were his soft spot.
“Oh yeah!”
As Audrey lifted her hands in excitement, she slipped through her float and fell into the water. She was caught off-guard and gulped down some water as a result. Fortunately, Gregory and Summer quickly pulled her up so that she could breathe.
“Pffft! Pffft!” While coughing out water, Audrey stole glances at Ashton but didn’t notice any changes in his expression. As such, she dared squint her eyes adorably and make funny faces at him.
After that, Ashton began to teach the children seriously. Since they had learned basic swimming skills before and were intelligent, they acquired the skills soon and spent the rest of the time playing. Meanwhile, Ashton and John continued to compete secretly to please Audrey by showcasing their swimming skills.
Suddenly, Emma showed up and put a halt to their intense competition. “John! Have you abandoned the company and your son already? Let’s get a divorce if you’re tired of me!”
John shriveled once he heard Emma shouting. He heaved a sigh and swam toward the coping of the swimming pool. “Well, my leisure time has just ended.”
Nevertheless, John didn’t forget to coax his wife with a smile. “I’m coming. Anyway, don’t always talk about getting a divorce. You’re like water, and I’m like a fish. How can a fish get out of water?”
With that, he reached out to hug Emma.
Swiftly, Emma turned sideways to dodge John and pressed her index finger against his chest. Then, she narrowed her eyes and warned, “Do you want to sleep in the study again?”
John had no choice but to withdraw his hands and obediently follow Emma to the lobby.
