Chapter 454: Chapter 454: The Bad Uncle Tricks to Win First Place

"What daughter," Adam Sterling scoffed with disdain, "she’s already my daughter, it has nothing to do with you. As for Yolanda Greenwood, you don’t need to worry about her, I’ll take good care of her."

Cooper Coldson gritted his teeth, his heart a mix of emotions, yet he knew what Adam Sterling said was true.

Obviously, Little Ella liked Adam Sterling very much, and considered him her only dad, while the amnesiac Yolanda Greenwood saw Adam Sterling as a husband she could rely on even more.

As for him, Cooper Coldson, he was just a wealthy Uncle Coldson in Little Ella’s eyes, and the forgotten ex-husband Mr. Coldson to Yolanda Greenwood.

The race began quickly, six little children wearing their dads’ or moms’ shoes ran clumsily yet adorably, occasionally someone would fall.

At the start, Little Gabriel steadily took the lead, but after running for a while, he would turn back to check on Little Ella and cheer her on, "Ella, you can do it!"

Little Ella was clearly a competitive little girl. She was trying hard to run faster, but her dad’s shoes were too big and heavy, making it impossible for her to run.

Seeing her brother near the finish line, she got anxious and fell to the ground.

"Ella!" Cooper Coldson’s heart tightened, taking a step forward to check, but was stopped by Adam Sterling, "What are you doing? Didn’t you see Ella fall?"

"This is my daughter, I have my own way of educating her." Adam Sterling called out loudly at the finish line, "Ella, stand up by yourself, you can do it, Daddy’s waiting for you."

"Sister," Little Gabriel had already run back, ready to help Little Ella up, "Brother will help you up."

Little Ella looked pitifully at Little Gabriel.

"Ella!" Adam Sterling’s voice rang out again, a bit stern, "Didn’t you hear Daddy? Stand up by yourself!"

"Brother, you should run, they’re all ahead of you." Little Ella sniffed, "I can get up by myself."

She scrambled up, her knees scraped, but she didn’t feel the pain, tried to move and felt fine.

At this moment, Yolanda Greenwood ran over, asking concernedly, "Ella, are you okay? Are you hurt?"

"I’m okay, I want to continue the race." Little Ella put her dad’s big shoes back on.

Yolanda Greenwood gratefully looked at Little Gabriel, "Gabriel, you should continue the race too, your first place might be overtaken."

"No way." Little Gabriel saw his sister was truly okay, then ran back and continued the race.

"Way to go, Ella, keep it up!" Adam Sterling looked at Cooper Coldson with pride, "Just watch, we’ll definitely be first."

Cooper Coldson said nothing, but also got into full competitive mode, his male winning desire ignited at this moment.

Very soon, some kids had already reached the finish line, Little Gabriel came in third, and Little Ella was last.

Cooper Coldson picked up Little Gabriel, put on his big shoes, and ran forward vigorously, his eyes now only on the two people ahead.

He had long legs, with speed and strength advantages, he kept chasing with all his might in the first half, and quickly overtook those two after halfway, becoming first.

"Ella, what place are they now?" Cooper Coldson asked the Gabriel in his arms.

"Third, almost..." Little Gabriel quickly said again, "Now they’re second."

Cooper Coldson felt secretly startled, Adam Sterling was indeed special forces, even if just a psychologist, physically he’s way better than ordinary people.

He couldn’t lose, he instinctively sped up a bit more, seeing the finish line approaching.

"Oh no!" Suddenly, Little Gabriel screamed, "They’re about to fall."

"What?" Cooper Coldson immediately stopped and looked back, only to see Adam Sterling really seemed about to fall over, though he was still running, his body was leaning forward very severely.

Cooper Coldson was prepared to go support him, but then Adam Sterling suddenly looked up, a sly gleam flashed in his eyes as he glanced at Cooper Coldson, and with that, he quickly overtook Cooper Coldson holding Little Ella, winning first place.

Cooper Coldson realized he’d been tricked, but he couldn’t regain his speed from the restart, ending up in third place.

At the finish line, Adam Sterling was overjoyed, "Ella, we won, we’re first, isn’t Daddy amazing?"

Little Ella blinked, but Daddy almost fell just now, if Uncle Coldson hadn’t stopped, the first place would be Uncle Coldson and Brother.

"Say it!" Adam Sterling shook Little Ella slightly, "Daddy said he’d get first place, Daddy did it, isn’t that amazing?"

"Yeah, Daddy’s awesome!" Little Ella cooperatively squinted her eyes.

Adam Sterling saw Cooper Coldson had also reached the finish line and deliberately asked Little Ella loudly, "Ella, isn’t Daddy stronger than Uncle Coldson?"

Little Ella peeked at Cooper Coldson, somewhat unwilling to answer Daddy’s question.

"Say it!" But Adam Sterling persisted, asking again.

"Yeah! Daddy’s the strongest!" Little Ella had no choice but to answer, though in her heart she was grateful to Uncle Coldson and Brother, Daddy indeed won.

Adam Sterling immediately looked at Cooper Coldson provocatively, proudly raising his chin.

"Daddy, bad uncle tricked us!" Little Gabriel spoke indignantly.

"Alright, don’t you want your sister to win?" Cooper Coldson rubbed Little Gabriel’s head, "Just think of it as for your sister."

"Fine." Little Gabriel lowered his head sullenly.

At this moment, Yolanda Greenwood hurried over, "What happened just now? How did you almost fall?"

"Nothing, just an accident." Adam Sterling replied carelessly.

"I told you, winning or not doesn’t matter, if you had really fallen just now..." Yolanda Greenwood was still shaken.

"I said it’s fine, I know what I’m doing," Adam Sterling’s face changed again, "Don’t you want me to win first?"

"Of course not." Yolanda Greenwood took Little Ella, feeling Adam Sterling was a bit strange, why was he always upset, was it the phone call this morning? Did something happen?

Little Ella also rarely saw Adam Sterling like this, she clung tightly to her mom’s neck, timidly watching Adam Sterling.

Adam Sterling said nothing more. After the family received their award, he proposed to celebrate after the sports meeting.

"Sure." Yolanda Greenwood nodded in agreement.

By noon, all the competitions ended, Little Ella signed up for three events, won two firsts, which was quite successful.

Little Gabriel only signed up for two events, he won first in his event, with Cooper Coldson in another event, they got third, also not bad.

The Adam Sterling family prepared for a celebration, Yolanda Greenwood initially wanted to invite Cooper Coldson and Little Gabriel, but considering Adam Sterling was in a bad mood today, she decided against it.

The family went to eat Little Ella’s favorite fried chicken.

Once they ordered, Yolanda Greenwood lowered her voice and asked Adam Sterling, "Who was on the phone this morning? Was it something urgent?"

"Nothing." Adam Sterling seemed unwilling to say more.

Yolanda Greenwood frowned, feeling it shouldn’t be like this, they were a family, they should face difficulties together.

"Adam Sterling," she asked again, "if there’s something, can’t we face it together?"
