Chapter 121
The parents of each class were about to enter the final race after the competition.
The winner could get a prize from the school, regardless of class or age. Also, as their share of pride, their child could wear a small star on the chest of their uniform.
This was the proof of their victory.
However, the parents also appeared to be in a chaotic state at the moment.
Like a hodgepodge, everyone was crowded together.
Laura found Winnie in the crowd and rushed to her with open arms. “Mrs. Smith!”
Winnie was in a little daze.
As if in a trance, she seemed to have imagined Lilian pouncing on her with open arms.
“Winnie!”
She stood frozen in place.
Laura hugged her thigh and smiled at her. “Mrs. Smith, did you see Mr. Dexter Graham running for me? He was awesome and won first place! None of the kids‘ dads could do that. I have such an amazing father right here!”
Antonio walked up to her. Upon hearing her words, he remained silent with a gloomy face.
Winnie forced a smile and bent down to touch Laura’s face. “Yes, all dads aren’t as good as your father. You’re the best.”
Laura smiled. However, she felt something was off and frowned before asking. “What’s wrong, Mrs. Smith? I feel like you’re very unhappy. Is something wrong?”
Winnie’s eyes glistened with tears, but she shook her head with a smile. “No. I just had some work stuff going on. I’m feeling much better right now. Thank you for your concern.”
Laura nodded while holding Winnie’s fingers and pointed in another direction.
The final race between the fathers had begun.
Looking forward to the race, Laura said, “I wonder whether Mr. Graham or Mr. Smith will win. Who do you think will win the race, Mrs. Smith?”
Antonio and Dexter were already standing on the track, ready for the race.
Both of them looked at Laura in unison.
Winnie’s smile was a little cold as she said slowly, “Mr. Smith, I guess. He will definitely give it his best for his darling
Laura didn’t know what she meant. “Who is his darling?”
Winnie lowered her eyes and smiled without saying a word.
On the track, Dexter looked at Antonio and said teasingly, “Just let me win this race, Antonio. I’m here to represent Lala in this competition. As a father, you should always love your child, right?”
Antonio snorted and said, “I’m giving up first place for you, so you can become the godfather who wins first place twice for
her?”

Dexter grinned. “What’s wrong with that, then? As a biological father, you are a disgrace to her anyway.

Antonio was stunned. His gaze darkened immediately. “Even if Laura and I cannot become father and daughter publicly in the future, I don’t need anyone else to replace me.”
Dexter smiled coldly. “We’ll see, then. After all, I’m going to fight for first place for my goddaughter. You don’t stand a chance at all
The race was about to begin.
Antonio looked at Laura, who was standing beside Winnie as she waved at them. “Good luck, Mr. Graham! Good luck, Mr. Smith
He withdrew his eyes coldly and rushed toward the finish line when he heard the gunshot.
Dexter, who was running beside him, was also extremely fast.
The competition between the two sides was so fierce that everyone’s eyes were focused on them.
“Whose father is that?”
“That seems to be Jasper’s father and Laura’s father, right?”
“Laura’s father is that handsome?”
“Why do I think Laura and Jasper’s father look alike?”
Meanwhile, Laura stood on her tiptoes as she looked into the distance with anticipation.
Winnie asked tentatively. “Who would you prefer to win first place?”
She said honestly, “Since Mr. Graham is representing me in this race, I hope he wins first place.”
Winnie said, “Don’t you want Mr. Smith to win first place?”
Laura smiled subtly. “Mr. Smith is also quite good, but I still hope Mr. Graham can win the race.”
Winnie raised her eyebrows and said tactfully, “But don’t you think Mr. Smith looks more like your father instead?”
Laura was stunned as she looked at Winnie. “I don’t think so!”
Winnie tilted her head confusingly. “Why are you so sure?”
Laura’s gaze followed both men as she said unconsciously, “We drew blood and ran tests, but Mr. Smith said that there is no father–daughter relationship between us.”
Winnie raised her eyebrows and instantly understood her words.
It seemed that they had already taken a paternity test, and the paternity test indicated a parent–child relationship between
them.
However, Antonio didn’t tell Laura the truth.
Winnie’s eyes were filled with anger.
Both men reached the finish line at the same time.
The referee shouted, “Both Laura’s father and Jasper’s father are tied for first place!”

Laura was elated as she ran to both men with a bottle of mineral water. “Congratulations to both of you, Mr. Smith and Mr. Graham!”
Jasper also stepped forward quickly.
While he was very dissatisfied that his father won first place with another person, he was fine as long as they didn’t come in
second.
Antonio was slightly panting as he turned to look at Laura.
Laura stood still as she held a bottle of mineral water in front of him.
The coldness in his eyes dissipated as he reached out and said, “Thank you.”
However, Laura turned her hand around and handed the bottle of water to Dexter. “Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Graham! You’re so awesome today! I’m basking in your glory!”
Antonio was perplexed.
The water bottle isn’t for me?” he thought to himself.
Dexter took her water bottle and gulped it down quickly, feeling refreshed after that. “Thank you, my darling goddaughter. It’s so considerate of you to bring me some water, unlike my real son, who doesn’t know how to do so.”
Zayn, who had been following Laura, glanced at him unhappily. “Wouldn’t it be enough if she just gave it to you?”
The three of them enjoyed their moment together, making them seem like a whole new family.
Antonio and his hand that was about to reach out for the water bottle, froze in midair before retracting in embarrassment.
Jasper handed him a bottle of water. “Daddy.”
Antonio seemed less enthusiastic about Jasper’s action.
He felt frustrated, even though the packaging was the same.
He took a sip and subconsciously looked to the side.
Laura followed Dexter eagerly. “Thank you for being a great help to me today, Mr. Graham. I’ll have a little star on my uniform tomorrow! In order to thank you, would you like to have some dried pasta? I can make it for you!”
Dexter was a little touched as he picked her up. “I’d like a sweet kiss from you!”
Laura then gave a kiss to him.
Dexter liked it so much. “You’re so cute, darling”
Zayn was unhappy and warned him, “Stop kissing him. Put her down.”
Antonio became more furious as he watched them. He shoved the water bottle into Jasper’s hand and said, “Laura”
In the midst of her laughter, Laura turned her head and looked at him quizzically.
Antonio’s eyes darkened. “I got first place too”
Hearing this, Winnie raised her eyebrows and looked at Laura.
Laura was stunned upon hearing his words. With a sorrowful tone, she replied. T’m sorry, Mr. Smith, but Mr. Graham is my father for today. Since I would like to cheer for him, you might as well get someone else to compliment you. Don’t keep

coming to me all the time.”
Antonio was dumbfounded.
Winnie sneered, “You didn’t want to be her father, but let someone else do it instead. You’re stunned now, aren’t you?”
Antonio was rendered speechless.
Dexter’s lips curled into an odd smile. Grabbing Laura’s hand and swinging it, he said, “Let’s go, then!”
Antonio remained speechless.
With a grim expression, he averted his gaze.
“Fine, just leave! I don’t care!” Antonio scoffed inwardly.
