After Anton gives the signal, Jackson did not waste more time and steps on the accelerator to widen their distance as soon as possible. The race tonight is very simple. They just need to race up to the mountain and return to the starting point so they can be declared as the winner tonight.
Jackson has no plan to show mercy to his enemy. That Troy the Worm Cooker is just a small fry. He is just a cocky bastard who believes that racing with him is just an easy task. It is better to show that bastard who is the real boss here as early as now.
Minutes later, they finally reached the first flag. The mountain where they are racing tonight has four flags they need to pass to win the race. Jackson snickers thinking that the race tonight is just a child's play for him. When he looks at the rear mirror, Jackson sees the little girl sitting on her baby seat and she is busy checking the contents of her bag.
There is nothing important inside her bag. It is just full of snacks, small toys, a purse with a few coins in it, and a small drawing pad where she carefully put the photo of Louisa and her friends in it. Aside from these things, there is nothing valuable inside the bag. Jackson rolls his eyes seeing the look on Lulu's face as if she's checking a real treasure.
"Hey, chibi." Jackson calls her.
Since this race is so boring tonight, then he will just talk with this little baby until they reached the finish line.
"My name is Luyella—"
"As I've said, I don't care about your name."
Lulu pouts her lips but she didn't say anything. These daddies are all too much. Her daddies are rude for not calling her name right. They don't even know how to appreciate her.
"Anyway, where is your mother?" Jackson suddenly asked.
"I don't know." Lulu replied.
"Oh? Then you don't miss her?"
"Lulu misses mommy a lot!"
"Then do you want me to find your mother so I can send you back to her?"
Lulu hums for a moment before she replied.
"It's okay! Mommy said Lulu just needs to wait for her patiently and I am an obedient baby."
"Then you will be alone if your mother is not with you."
Then Jackson sees the little girl giving him a confused look.
"But daddy, you are here with me." Lulu replied in an innocent voice. "I also have Mr. Kite and daddy number three."
Jackson snorts when he heard her reply. As expected, she is not an ordinary child. He did not try to ask her more questions, especially about Louisa. As for the issues about them taking care of her, they can just discuss it later.
Ryzel is the only one who hasn't received the news yet. The last time he saw that guy was five months ago. The last news he heard from him, Ryzel was finishing his business overseas. Jackson is very sure that Ryzel is going to be surprised once he heard the news that Louisa finally showed up and left her daughter under their supervision.
"Daddy, do you want some?" Lulu asked while offering him a pack of candy-coated chocolate that she opened just now.
"You're eating again?"
"Lulu is bored, daddy."
Jackson looks at Lulu through the rear mirror again. Her cheeks are bulging like a hamster and she's making a soft chewing sound. No wonder this little girl is so fat. Eating the snacks in her bag is definitely one of her hobbies.
Before Jackson can scold Lulu for eating too much, he suddenly lost control of the car he's driving when something bumps behind them. Looking back, Jackson sees Troy has finally caught up to him. Not only that, but he is also bumping his car without showing any mercy.
Because of the impact, the candies in Lulu's hand spill everywhere inside the car. She looks so shocked as if the world has collapsed in front of her. Not even a single candy was left in the package she was holding in her hand. All of it is now spilled inside the car and Lulu cannot even reach them because her body is strapped in her baby seat.
"Hey, chibi. Just sit obediently there, alright?"
Before Lulu can ask him why, Jackson suddenly steps on the accelerator without any warning at all. Because of it, Lulu's head sways forward. Fortunately, her body is securely tied with the strap on her baby seat. But it doesn't make her mood better.
Her candies are all gone!
For the first time, Lulu feels really bullied this time. She doesn't care if her daddies are calling her with different nicknames. She doesn't harbor any ill feelings toward anyone even if they are always arguing with her. But it is a different case if someone tries to mess up with her food!
With pursed lips, Lulu stares at the empty candy pack in her hand and then at the scattered candies around her. Her mommy said she should not eat the food on the floor because it is now dirty and it can give her an aching stomach. She wasted her snack for nothing.
"Wuu..."
Soon, fat tears appear in her eyes and fall on her cheeks. When she blinks her eyes, her tears drip on the clothes she's wearing and her emotions quickly become a mess. Covering her eyes, Lulu let out a loud cry that surprises Jackson for the second time.
"Waah!"
"Oh, fuck."
Jackson glance at Lulu who is crying pitifully on her baby seat. She keeps on wiping her eyes with the back of her chubby hands. He has no time to ask what is wrong with her. Jackson is just thinking Lulu is crying because she got scared when Troy bumped into their car.
"Tch. Shut up for now and let me drive in peace." Jackson said as he tighten his grip on the steering wheel.
Alright. Maybe it is time for him to take this seriously. Clicking his tongue, Jackson focused on driving the car. He keeps a few meters distance away from Troy's car so he cannot have a chance to bump his car again. When they reached the slippery road, Jackson smoothly drifts his car and drives it to the second flag.
But Troy easily drifts his car too and successfully passes the second flag. Not only that, but Troy managed to shorten the distance between them. Clicking his tongue, Jackson looks at the side mirror to see the car's position behind them. His eyes glint in excitement when he noticed that Troy is planning to bump his car again.
Jackson rolls his neck and relaxed his shoulders. Ignoring the cries of the chubby baby behind him, he is waiting for the right time to attack this bastard. When he sees Troy accelerating and trying to bump his car again, Jackson immediately moves his car sideway and lets Troy surpass him.
But before Troy can celebrate, Jackson keeps bumping him at the back and pushes his car out of the road. Soon, Troy loses control and his car hits a huge tree on the side. Although he's safe, his car still received a lot of damage. To mock him, Jackson temporarily stops his car and opens his window.
"It was nice racing with you, Troy the Worm Cooker." Jackson said and salutes at him. "But I have to go now. See you later!"
Without waiting for his reply, Jackson starts driving again until they reached the finish line. When the people see his car, they quickly cheer for him. Their loud voices intensify when Jackson gets out of his car. But he ignores it and opens the door at the back to check on Lulu. It's because the little girl did not stop crying the whole time he was driving the car.
"I won the race and I already avenge you. So why are you still crying?" Jackson asked.
"Daddy..." Lulu calls him in a pitiful voice.
"What?" Jackson asked.
Alright. Maybe Jackson feels a little guilty because he scared this chubby baby. But it's not his entire fault why Troy decided to bump their cars, okay?
Lulu looks at him with her teary eyes and said something that Jackson cannot understand.
"Speak clearly."
"Daddy, Lulu is sad."
"Well, yeah. I can see that. It will be weird if you'll tell me instead that you are happy in that state."
"Wuu..."
"Tch. Fine. What's your problem?"
"My candies..."
"...Ah?"
"My candies! They're all gone! Waah!"
After that, Lulu cries loudly again and covers her small face with her hands.
"..."
