Chapter 119
Zayn looked at them in the distance and felt that something was wrong. He hurriedly walked toward them.
Antonio’s gaze became increasingly terrifying. “No one cares about your ugly title in the past.”

He looked at Laura again. His dangerous gaze was full of warning. “Are you sure you want to stay in his arms? Don’t you have your own family? Why do you need other people to become your surrogate father?”
Laura’s eyes widened, and she finally noticed that he was angry.
However, she didn’t understand why he was angry.
She pouted. “I don’t have a father. Other children have their parents. My teacher said that my family members have no time to come, so I can only be alone.”
Antonio asked, “Why didn’t I get a call from the school?”
She was confused. “You’re not my father. Why would you get a call?”
Dexter tried to speak in a higher tone mockingly. “That’s right! You’re not her father. Why would you get a call?”
Antonio was so angry that he picked her up and wanted to put her on the ground. “But then, you can’t just look for anyone else’s father, either. I will look for someone else for you!”
Dexter hugged Laura tightly and screamed softly, “It’s so awful. Mr. Perfect is stealing a child. Stop it!”
Antonio was bereft of words. “He’s crazy!” he thought.
He retreated his hands and returned to his icy expression. “Dexter, put Laura down. I’ll arrange for other parents to take charge of her.”
Dexter replied, “No. I won’t let her go.”
Antonio was furious. “What about Zayn then?”
Zayn cut in at the right time, “You don’t have to worry about me. I will take care of Lala on my
own.”
Antonio looked down and met with Zayn’s challenging gaze.
He was wearing a school uniform. He was smiling faintly with a contemptuous face. “We meet again, Mr. Smith.”
With a gloomy face, Antonio didn’t say a thing.
Jasper walked to Zayn and looked straight at him. “You’re really persistent.”
Although Zayn was younger than him, they were of the same height. Zayn was imposing on him. “Jasper, I only appear where Laura is. If you don’t want to see me, stay away from her.”
Jasper’s pupils suddenly contracted, and he raged in a low voice, “You dare let me stay away from her? Who do you think you
are?”
Laura was confused.
Laura thought, ‘Why are they quarreling?
I finally have someone to run for me. Why are Mr. Smith and Jasper getting angry?‘

Antonio didn’t want to talk nonsense anymore. He stared at her with sharp eyes and asked intimidatingly, Laura, would you like Dexter to run with you?”
His tense expression indicated a threat in his question, as if challenging Laura to say yes.
However, Laura didn’t notice it and uttered without thinking. “Yes!”
Antonio was stunned speechless.
Instead, she was a little resentful toward him.
She pondered, “Mr. Smith is not my dad. Why would he interfere with me having a godfather?”
She pouted and exploded, “Mr. Smith, other children laughed at me and said that I don’t have a family member to accompany me. Mr. Graham just helps me drive away the bad guys. Other children’s fathers like to pinch my face. If Mr. Graham isn’t here, I’ll be bullied by many people. So I am willing to let Mr. Graham run with me. Can you not be bothered by this?”
Once again, Antonio was bereft of words.
His gaze suddenly became dangerous. “Who bullied you? Why did they bully you?”
Laura lowered her head in disappointment. “He said that it was my problem that his daughter didn’t like me, so he began to pinch my face. He joked about my parents‘ death. I know what they said was true, but now that Mr. Graham is willing to help me, I don’t want Mr. Graham to leave. I just want him to accompany me.”
A careless remark may be important information to an attentive listener.
Antonio felt uncomfortable hearing her explanation. “Who told you that?”
She pointed directly at Julia’s dad.
Julia’s dad had always been looking in their direction. At first, he was still observing, but as soon as he met Antonio’s eyes, he hurriedly nodded to please him.
However, Antonio’s eyes reigned with terror, as if he could tear him apart.
Bernard was confused, so he quickly turned away to avoid Antonio’s gaze.
“What’s going on? Why do I feel that he’s getting more terrifying and going to attack me anytime soon?” Dexter wondered.
Antonio was so angry that his veins were bursting out on his forehead.
He didn’t want anyone to run with Laura using the identity of her father.
Nonetheless, Laura had been bullied again.
She was his youngest child, but he could not be by her side as her father.
“How could I stop others from helping Laura?” he thought remorsefully.
Everett and Xander, who arrived later, managed to figure out the situation. They looked up at Antonio and understood his dilemma.
Xander frowned slightly. “Antonio has unintentionally paid attention to Laura. Obviously, he wishes to run with her,” he thought.
However, if Antonio had to run all five races, he might be over–exhausted.

The winners‘ dads would compete to become the strongest, regardless of their children’s class years. They had to fight for the fastest–running Dad on the Summer Field Day.
Xander and Everett looked at each other.
“Anyway, we don’t care whether Antonio would run with us or not. Why not just let him run with Laura?” they pondered.
Jasper didn’t even look at them and directly suggested, “Lala, just let my daddy run with you. Don’t trouble other people.”
He didn’t know why, but he just did not want Zayn’s father to help her.
He disliked Zayn.
Zayn looked at him coldly.
Jasper gave him a fake smile.
All of them were trying to gain the upper hand.
Antonio subconsciously glanced at Laura with a faint expectation in his eyes.
Laura suddenly felt so stressed.
However, before she could say anything, Dexter smiled icily and hugged her tightly. “You’re going too far. I finally found a cute daughter. Antonio, you have three sons. I just want a daughter who’s totally unrelated to you. Can’t I have her?”
Antonio didn’t utter a word. He just stared at Laura and said, “It’s up to you to choose who you run with between the two of
us.”
Two words could be seen in his dark eyes.
“Choose me!” he exclaimed inwardly.
A deep frown etched across Laura’s face. She looked at Dexter and then at Antonio.
Zayn looked a little nervous.
Everett shrugged his shoulders. “Do you really need to think? Of course, you’ll choose Antonio! You’re so close to him. What’s there to choose?”
Laura replied, “No!”
Everyone was stunned.
She shook her head firmly. “I want Mr. Graham to run with me.”
Antonio was silent.
Dexter was happy. He lifted her and spun her around. “Yes! Laura has chosen me!”
Zayn instantly softened his eyes and curved his lips with satisfaction.
Antonio’s face darkened. “What’s the reason?”
Laura looked at him seriously. “Mr. Graham came first. I can’t stand him up. Thank you, Mr. Smith, for your help. You’d better take care of the boys.”
Antonio’s veins burst out on his forehead.

“You’re only concerned about Mr. Graham. Do you know that I’m actually your biological father?” Antonio exploded inwardly.

Antonio took a deep breath and said nothing more. He just looked at Dexter fiercely. “You’d better win first place. We’ll meet in the last game.”
Dexter’s eyes suddenly turned cold. “Of course.”
Antonio turned around and left.
The three boys glanced at Zayn deeply and left contemptuously.
Dexter looked at their silhouettes and said sentimentally, “It’s as though we’re back to high school. This reminds me of the time when I competed with him to win Winnie’s heart. I really put in all my efforts then. It’s interesting to win over her child
now.”
