Ethan Barnes won the sprint race with Celeste Linden and Danielle. During the family games, Ethan easily found Danielle. He then surprisingly hesitated when searching for Celeste among the mothers, who were identified by their hands behind a curtain. He held Celeste's hand, seemingly unsure, leading her to question his intentions.

Celeste Linden deliberately pinched him.

Ethan Barnes curled his thin lips into a smile, then led her out.

Absolutely right.

While other parents were still clueless, unable to find either their child or their wife, Ethan Barnes had already successfully completed the task.

The principal announced, "Congratulations, congratulations, the champions of this round are again Danielle’s mom and dad. All the dads here should learn from Danielle’s dad!"

Celeste Linden looked at Ethan Barnes and whispered, "I thought you wouldn’t be able to find me?"

"What about you?"

"What about me?"

Ethan Barnes slowly leaned down, his tall figure closing the distance between them, "Celeste Linden, when I held your hand just now, didn’t you immediately recognize me too? Celeste Linden, I didn’t expect you to pay so much attention to me. Tell me, am I in your heart?"

Celeste’s heart skipped a beat heavily, was he really in her heart?

How could that be, he was clearly the demon who ruined her life, she should fear him, reject him, and resent him!

"Master, sometimes narcissism is a disease. I suggest you see a doctor."

Ethan Barnes wasn’t angry at all. He had all the time in the world, he had a long life ahead to... atone, to love her and Danielle properly.

At that moment, a dad walked over and handed a bottle of mineral water to Celeste Linden, "Danielle’s mom, feeling thirsty? Take this bottle of water."

Since it was a classmate’s dad, Celeste Linden found it hard to refuse, so she accepted it and politely thanked him, "Thank you."

"You’re welcome."

This dad walked over to a group of other dads, and they all focused on Celeste Linden, "You’re really brave, daring to give water to Danielle’s mom. What if your wife sees you?"

"I’m giving it openly and honestly, unlike you guys who have the intention but not the guts."

"Danielle’s mom is indeed beautiful and elegant, a wise and gentle type."

Ethan Barnes had both hands in his pockets. As soon as he heard, he knew these men were all thinking about his wife. He hadn’t expected Mrs. Barnes’s charm to be so great that it attracted men even in kindergarten.

"Celeste Linden, you accept water from anyone?" he asked, his tone unfriendly.

Celeste Linden looked at the mineral water in her hand, "You mean this?"

"Yes, what if someone tampered with your water?"

"..."

Wow, how does he have such a vivid imagination?

This is a kindergarten, and it’s from Danielle’s classmate’s dad. How did it become a crime in his eyes?

"Throw the water away, the trash can is right here," he commanded imposingly.

"This isn’t right, I..."

Before Celeste Linden could finish, Ethan Barnes directly snatched the mineral water from her hand and, in front of those dads, threw it into the trash can with a "clunk."

This blatant act caused the dads to freeze, "..."

At that moment, they felt Ethan Barnes’s gaze on them, a sharp look filled with cold energy, as if he might tear them apart.

Ethan Barnes’s build and presence alone suggested he was not someone to mess with. The men lowered their heads and slunk away.

Celeste Linden already sensed the awkwardness in the air. At this moment, Ethan Barnes shoved a bottle of water into her hand, "Drink."

"But I don’t want to drink."

"I said drink, why so much nonsense?"

She couldn’t drink water from others, only the water her husband handed her!
