When the race started, it went quite smoothly for Edmond. He managed to keep a reasonable lead in the first two kilometers, but after that he began to fall behind, despite his efforts.

The woman began to pick up the speed and swam forward without taking a rest.

Edmond emerged from the water, panting helplessly. He Looked at the woman swimming in front of him and murmured, “Humph, she must be a boring woman. If anyone marries such a woman in the future..." The mere thought of it gave him goose bumps. Luckily, he would not have to marry this kind of woman because he preferred gentle girls.

Thinking of this, he plunged into the water and swam forward with all his strength.

When he reached four-kilometer mark, he knew that he wouldn't be able to catch up with her. However, for the sake of bringing Lves back, he rolled his eyes and decided to play tricks.

“Help! Help..." he screamed.

The moment she heard his voice, Olivia Evans, the female instructor, turned around and swam to his rescue without hesitation.

“Edmond, are you okay?"

When she got closer to him, Edmond suddenly pulled her under water. The two people tussled and tangled under water in each other's arms and finally... their Lips pressed together without their will or knowledge.

Neither of them expected this to happen. In fact, Edmond just wanted to buy time. When their eyes met, he felt the softness of her Lips and

Edmond felt a tingling feeling in his heart.

Suddenly, he pulled Olivia into his arms and gave her a deeper kiss.

This was the first time someone had dared to do this to her. When she came to her senses, Olivia was so angry she wanted to grab his neck and drown him. However, Edmond reacted quickly as he let go of her and swam ahead before she could catch him.

Unfortunately for Edmond, Olivia wasn't the type to be pushed around, that too by a bad boy. She immediately swam after him, vowing to smash his head in for stealing her first kiss without her consent.

When they were about to reach the finish line, Edmond suddenly disappeared.

She looked for him in the water, but he was nowhere to be found.

Suddenly, a vague trace appeared on the calm water surface and Olivia reached out without hesitation to grab Edmond's collar from the back.

Edmond flashed her a cheeky smile and said, “Olivia, go ahead. Don't you have a race to win?"

"The race? You and your race can go to hell!" Enduring the urge to hurl curses at him, Olivia decided to punch him in the face instead.

Unfortunately, Edmond slipped out of her hands yet again, and dived into the water to swim ashore.

Since her competitor was already running away from the race, why would she bother about continuing? As such, she followed him ashore.

Before long, Olivia caught up with him again. The two fought for a few rounds, and eventually she had him pinned down on a haystack in the riverbank.

“You brat! How dare you do that to me! I'll beat you to death today!”

Olivia didn't care whose son Edmond was. She wanted to get her revenge, first and foremost!

Edmond cleverly turned over with her in his arms and before she could react, he pressed her under his body and said, “Madam, please calm down. That kiss was only meant to serve as a distraction!" ‘Are you kidding me? Why would I kiss such a hard ass?' he thought contemptuously.
