Chapter 198 Change the Rules of the Game
Sydney ignored Julien and continued staring at Team Three's dad, wondering how long he would hold out.
Seeing that, Julien's expression turned even darker, and the air around him turned cold.
How could Team Three's dad's looks, figure, or temperament compare to his? Why did she have to stare at Team Three's dad?
Although he also knew that she was not interested in Team Three's dad in that way, he still felt irritated.
"Get off!" Julien stopped when Davey counted to 20 and said coldly to the woman on his back.
Sydney did not know what was wrong with him, but she stepped on the ground and stood up.
Julien also stood up.
He just did 20 push-ups in a row, but his handsome face was not the least bit tired. He did not even break a sweat.
It was evident that the 20 push-ups did not have the slightest effect on him.
The dads from Teams One and Three were incredibly envious.
Julien's team was done and already resting, but they still had to continue miserably.
Sydney looked at the bitter faces of the dads from Teams One and Three and could not help but let out a laugh.
Suddenly, the water bottle in her hand was yanked away.
Sydney turned her head to look to see Julien opening his mouth to drink the water.
Seemingly sensing her gaze, Julien put down the bottle and asked, "What?"
Sydney looked at the bottle. "That's mine."
"You didn't drink from it yet," Julien said faintly while screwing the lid on.
Sydney snickered. "Even if I didn't drink from it yet, you don't have to snatch it from me. There are so many bottles over there. Can't you get one yourself?"
"I'm tired and don't want to move," Julien said as he put the bottle to the side.
The corners of Sydney's mouth twitched. She was speechless.
'Tired?
'Sorry, but I can't find any trace of tiredness on your face.
'Whatever. It's just a bottle of water.'
Sydney scoffed, turned around, and went to take a new bottle of water.
Julien looked at her defeated expression. Then, a smile flashed in his eyes, and his mood also improved again.
He had done it on purpose.
It was because she kept staring at other men.
"Uncle Julien." Davey's tender voice suddenly sounded below him.
Julien looked down to see Davey with his head lifted, looking at him with an 'I caught you' expression.
"What?" Julien asked.
Davey planted his little hands on his hips. "Are you going to rob Aunty from my Uncle Hunter?"
Rob aunty?
Julien raised his brows. "Of course not. Why do you say that?"
"Because the way you look at Aunty looks like how my dad looks at my mom," the little guy replied.
Julien pursed his lips.
What kind of answer was that? Just because he had the same gaze meant that he wanted to rob Sydney away from Hunter?
Besides, he did not know how he was looking at Sydney anyway.
"You're just a kid. Don't talk nonsense. She's my ex-wife, and we're divorced. Do you think I still need to rob her?" Julien said with his hand in his trouser pocket.
The little boy snorted. "So what if you're divorced? My aunt and uncle are divorced, but my uncle still wants to win my aunt back. Uncle Julien, you must be the same. No, I have to tell Uncle Hunter not to be friends with you." Davey frowned, looking as serious as an adult.
Julien narrowed his eyes and was about to say something when Sydney came back. Her eyes fell between Julien and Davey. "What are you guys talking about?"
"Aunty, I was telling Uncle Julien that mmph-"
Julien picked Davey up and covered his mouth before he could finish speaking.
"It's nothing. Let's go. They're done too, and the third round is about to start." Julien glanced at Sydney before walking to the front with Davey in his arms.
Sydney stood where she was, holding her water bottle in confusion. She did not understand what just happened.
"Uncle Julien!" In front, Davey struggled to remove Julien's hand and glared at him angrily. "Why didn't you let me finish?"
Julien lowered his eyes and looked at Davey. "It's not appropriate for a child to say that."
"I'm not an ordinary child. I-"
"From now on, you're not allowed to call Sydney Aunty. " Julien interrupted Davey with an indisputable and stern tone.
Davey blinked in fright. "Why not?"
"Because she's not with your Uncle Hunter." Julien stared at him.
At first, he really thought that Sydney and Hunter came here together on a date.
After that, he suddenly figured out that Sydney did not like Hunter, so how would she be together with him?
However, he did not know why they brought a kid with them.
"Hmph. Even if Uncle Hunter and Aunty aren't together now, they'll be together in the future. I like Aunty a lot, and I'll help Uncle Hunter get Aunty soon." Davey said proudly with his chin raised.
Julien's expression darkened. He had an urge to throw the kid out.
Although he managed to hold back that thought in the end, the air around him turned so cold that others did not dare to approach him.
Soon, the third round of the game began. It was a three -legged race.
The ones running would be the parents. Within three minutes, the parents had to run to the finish line, get a basketball from the finish line, and then run back to the child at the starting point to let the child throw the basketball into the hoop. The one who successfully threw it would win.
The venue of this competition was in the backyard of the restaurant. The yard was wide, so the restaurant drew the runway and set up obstacles here.
The manager came to Sydney and Julien with two red ropes.
After Julien took the red rope, he suddenly asked," Can you change the running into a walking race?"
"Is there a special reason for that, sir?" the manager asked with a smile.
Sydney looked at Julien, also curious.
Julien's eyes fell on her belly. "My wife is pregnant. She might fall if she runs."
At those words, Sydney's eyes widened as her entire body froze. "You..."
Julien grabbed her arm and motioned for her not to speak.
Sydney also snapped back to her senses. She suppressed her inner shock and swallowed her words.
The manager did not notice the little movement between the two and replied in realization, "I see. Congratulations, sir and ma'am."
"Thank you," Julien replied.
The manager nodded. "Since the madam is pregnant, running is indeed not a good idea. As you said, let's change the race to walking instead. The time will also be increased to five minutes. How about that?" Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
"Sounds good." Julien nodded.
The manager took the remaining red rope and walked to Team One.
In the last game, the father of Team Three could not support his wife and was defeated by Team One.
Therefore, Sydney's Team Five and Team One advanced to the final round.
When the manager walked away, Sydney clenched her fists and finally asked what she wanted to ask earlier. "How do you know I'm pregnant?"
She had only told Luke and Hunter about it. Not even Cay knew.
Julien lowered his eyes to cover the strange emotions in them and said, "Hunter accidentally mentioned it."
"I see." Upon finding out, Sydney's lips tugged. "That blabbermouth. Why does he tell you everything?"
Julien looked away and did not answer.
Not noticing how guilty Julien looked, Sydney rubbed her temples. "Thank you for thinking about me just now."
"It's nothing," Julien said softly.
Then, he clenched his fists and suddenly asked, "You really don't plan on keeping the child?"
Sydney's beautiful brows furrowed tightly. "Hunter told you about that too?"
"Yeah." Julien nodded.
"That little..." Sydney muttered angrily before answering his question, "Yes, I don't plan on keeping it."
