Chapter 16 Perfect Cooperation
Chapter 16 Perfect Cooperation
Upon hearing that, Bobby immediately curled his lips with disdain. How could Director Zhao compare him to Nadia? She was an ugly duckling while he was a handsome boy!
"Director Zhao, I don't think they look that much alike," Nancy protested weakly, rubbing her hands in embarrassment.
"Really? Nadia has the same eyes and nose that you do. And her thick eyebrows match Mr. Fu's. And her little mouth and ears look so much like Bobby's... "
As Director Zhao pointed out these similarities, Bobby became more and more annoyed with Nadia.
Meanwhile, Nancy shrunk in embarrassment. What this woman was saying was too outrageous!
However, Charles rubbed his chin and looked thoughtfully at Nadia and Nancy, realizing that they indeed looked a lot like each other.
Of course, there was such a thing as coincidence in this boundless universe.
Too impatient to listen to Director Zhao drone on and on, Charles took Bobby's hand and began walking away. "Let's go. Our parent-child activity is about to begin."
Nancy smiled awkwardly and said goodbye to Director Zhao before taking Nadia's hand and following Charles.
When she finally caught up with him, Charles turned to her and said, "She's right, you know. This girl really resembles you."
"Stop teasing me like this," Nancy snapped in disgust.
"Well, if you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do." Charles shrugged.
"So what? You gave me a son, and now you want to give me a daughter?" Nancy said angrily.
"Isn't two children better than one?" An evil grin flashed across Charles' face.
"Ah, now I understand. You're just suffering from delusions. I'm quite familiar with the psychiatrist at my hospital. Do you want me to help you set up an appointment?" Nancy said seriously.
"If I'm not wrong, delusions are a part of a bigger mental illness, right? I heard that people with mental illnesses don't have to bear the consequences of doing illegal things, so I'd better stay insane for the rest of my life. If one day I can't control myself around you, I will have a good excuse... " Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
"Charles!" Nancy gritted her teeth with hatred.
"Nancy, you're way too soft to get into an argument with me!"
If they ever got into a serious argument, Nancy definitely wouldn't be able to defeat Charles.
"Mommy, Daddy, come here! Get dressed!" Bobby shouted.
They quickly walked toward him.
The first parent-child activity was a race in which both parents and children had to wear inflatable clothes, which would be safe but hard to run in.
The first family to arrive at the finish line would win the prize. Bobby quickly put on a set of inflatable kids' clothes, which fit him perfectly.
However, Nadia was a little shorter than him, and these clothes were too big for her. She had trouble even getting her head out of the neck hole.
"You're so stupid, Nadia," Bobby mocked, laughing.
"Bobby, don't talk like that. You should encourage her," Nancy reproached him immediately. Then, she continued, "Come here and help Nadia put on her clothes. You are a man, so you should take good care of her."
Bobby wanted to please Nancy and make her proud of him,
so he immediately walked over to Nadia and said, "Let me help you."
"Thank you, Bobby," Nadia said, finally sticking her head out.
It didn't take long for Nancy and Charles to get dressed. They stood on either side with the two kids in the middle.
The referee raised the red flag and announced, "Go!"
Ten families tried their best to run forward.
At first, Charles arrogantly thought that it would be as easy as pie for him to win these activities since he practiced martial arts and kept his body in good shape.
However, it turned out that winning these activities required a lot of cooperation and tacit understanding between all four of them.
The two children, in particular, waddled forward like penguins. They could barely walk, let alone run!
"Hurry up, Daddy, Mommy..." Bobby shouted anxiously, seeing that they were in third place now.
"Daddy, Mommy," Nadia also shouted, gasping for air.
"Don't call them that! They are my daddy and my mommy," Bobby said angrily.
"I... I'm sorry. Uncle, Auntie... Ah!" With her hair covering her eyes, Nadia couldn't see properly and ended up tripping over herself.
Bobby immediately turned to her and saw that she had drowned in her inflatable clothes.
"Nadia, you are such a burden!" he yelled unhappily.
But at that moment,
he fell to the ground too and starting rolling around like a tumbler.
Looking at them, the crowd burst into laughter.
Even Nancy and Charles couldn't help laughing as they helped the two kids get up in a hurry.
"Kids,
let's continue," Charles urged. Nancy raised her fist too and said, "Come on, let's go!"
"Come on!" "Let's go!"
"Okay, Nadia. Hold my hand," Bobby said, gripping Nadia's hand tightly.
"Yes." Nadia nodded.
"Okay, kids, on the count of three, let's start running together." By now, Charles had understood that cooperation was the key to victory.
"Okay," the three of them replied.
Once Charles counted to three, the three of them all let out a yell of determination and rushed forward.
"Come on!"
"Bobby is awesome!"
"Nadia, you're the best!"
The two children's little faces were flushed as they hurried to the finish line.
"The winner is...Bobby's family!" the referee shouted.
Hearing his words, Bobby and Nadia grinned from ear to ear.
"You two are awesome!" Nancy grinned, wiping the sweat off her nose.
"Yes, you did a good job today. You deserve my praise!" After Charles took off his inflatable clothes, he helped Nancy take hers off.
"This family of four cooperated perfectly!" someone in the crowd gasped in admiration.
"Yeah, they must be a happy family!"
said another person who didn't know Charles.
"Well, I think we make a good team. Don't you feel the same way?" Charles said to Nancy.
Nancy just let out a snort of contempt.
But in her heart, she agreed with what Charles had said.
With the children around, it was really easy for them to get along.
In total, Bobby had signed up for nine parent-children activities, so the four of them did those activities one by one.
As time went by, they cared less about winning and more about enjoying themselves.
Finally, it was time for the last activity.
For the last activity, there were pictures of animals pasted around, and parents had to be blindfolded before they started the activity. Then, the children would shout out animal names, and the parents would have to touch the respective animal picture with their noses.
Just as Charles and Nancy covered their eyes with their blindfolds, they heard a commotion among the crowd.
"Nadia, who allowed you to play games with others? How can you just accept anyone as your parents? Are you just an animal?"
