Chapter 58
They won the second game thanks to their teamwork during the jump rope game, while many other pairs fell because they couldn’t play together. Initially, Edith was unsure about jumping rope, but now she’s not afraid anymore thanks to Callum’s patient instructions. Callum was right; if she had followed the instructions from the start, she wouldn’t have fallen, and in fact, she’s still not satisfied with playing jump rope.
After the second game ended, Callum and Edith took a short break under a tree. Callum had deliberately chosen a strategic and quiet spot so he could let his girlfriend pamper him. Knowing what she had wanted since the first game, he now granted her wish.
Edith rested her head on her lover’s shoulder, massaging her aching little feet. “We still have one more race to go. I need to conserve my remaining energy p>
Callum slowly shifted to a kneeling position in front of his girlfriend, his hands massaging her tiny feet. “Edith, I honestly wanted to thank you today p>
“Shouldn’t I be the one thanking you? After all, you were the one who taught me how to jump rope properly p>
“Because you managed to make me realize what the true meaning of love is p>
Edith leaned forward, resting her head on her knees. “Haven’t you known love before p>
“For the past five years, I’ve barely known love. I’ve become a cold-hearted and heartless CEO to the point where everyone around me fears me. I almost don’t even want to attend family day events whenever Erdin nags me.” A heavy sigh escaped her lips. “I feel so lucky to have met you earlier, so starting this year, I won’t feel burdened by every family day event p>
Her right hand slowly stroked her lover’s head. “Callum, since I became your girlfriend, I’ve also learned the meaning of love. I’m so happy to hear you call me that p>
“So, you like me calling you by your nickname p>
Edith lowered her head in shame. “By the way, I don’t like seeing you kneel. It’ll hurt your knees p>
“It’s okay. I definitely won’t be in any pain. I’m more concerned about your legs not getting sore from exercising p>
Her hands tightly embraced the muscular body in front of her. Callum’s heart pounded at the sudden, affectionate embrace, even though his girlfriend had gone to great lengths to pretend to be Erdin’s nanny.
“Edith, weren’t you the one who was acting all pretentious earlier p>
“Let me hold you longer. I want to hold you now p>
Hearing his girlfriend enthusiastically embrace him, Callum didn’t want to miss the golden opportunity. His arms wrapped around her curvy back.
“Okay, I’ll let you hold me until the third game starts p>
“Every time I hug you, I have a hard time letting go. Even when I had amnesia, I couldn’t bear to refuse a hug from you p>
“I could feel it all along. That’s why I kept quiet until you actually wanted to admit it p>
After a twenty-minute break, Callum and Edith were ready at the third game station. This time, it wasn’t a sporting event, but a cookie-making competition for their little one. Of course, Edith and Callum found it easy, as they were already used to making cookies for their twins every week.
Edith put an apron on her lover and then began preparing all the ingredients provided by the committee. They were only allowed to use the ingredients provided. Although the ingredients were slightly different from what they usually made, she was confident she could win the competition because her twins were among the judges. If their twins really liked their cookies, then they were a sure winner.
As the master of ceremonies blew the whistle, Edith and Callum quickly moved to make the dough, having already divided up the tasks before the competition began. Because they were used to making cookies for twins, they were almost finished, even though there was still plenty of time left. Everyone in the audience was curious to see what the cookies Edith and Callum had made would taste like, to the point that they were so confident.
Since there was still plenty of time left, Callum wanted to play a prank on his girlfriend. His right hand was covered in flour, ready to be used to play a prank on her. He deliberately stroked her cheek while looking around.
“There was an eyelash near your cheek earlier p>
“Calluuumm! Can you not mess up my makeup? Do you want me to look ugly in front of everyone p>
“Actually, I’m used to teasing you. If I didn’t, something would be missing.” Callum looked around innocently.
“In return, you should also be taught a lesson!” Without hesitation, Edith also poked her lover’s cheek repeatedly with her flour-covered hand.
This couple had become so comfortable with each other that it made the audience and other participants watching the show incredibly jealous. Laura and Philip, in particular, were holding back laughter, as they had guessed from the start that Edith and Callum were a couple but had been deliberately hiding their relationship.
The couple once again lovingly decorated the cookies they had made before the competition ended. Edith was busy drawing her little family on four cookies using cream, while Callum sprinkled sprinkles on the cookies.
“Your drawing is so cute.” His eyes fell on his slightly curly self. “Especially since my face looks so cute. Even though you didn’t do it on purpose, I can’t bear to see the judges tasting our cookies p>
“I deliberately decorated the faces of the four of us so that they would know the true meaning of our family’s love. I wanted the judges to feel the warmth as well p>
“Edith p>
Edith looked away again, tidying up the cluttered table. “Speaking of which, I’m going to behave myself again. I don’t want everyone to think we’re a real couple p>
“But weren’t you the one who started it earlier p>
“Let’s continue our conversation at home. Many eyes are watching us now p>
In fact, that person has also been secretly photographing their movements from a distance, starting from the beginning of the game until now. Who knows who sent the spy to do this?
