Oops! My Secret Baby Is Caught By His Top-Lawyer Daddy! Novel

---- Chapter 148: She Didn't Want to Be the Bigger Person The moment Aaron stepped out of the car, Logan and the others pounced on him like kids at a birthday party. They lifted him high into the air, tossed him gently, and caught him. Back and forth, over and over, until they finally let him down. "This is insane! Rolling with Aaron just brings non-stop luck!" "Thanks for making us rich, Aaron!" "Aaron, that was epic! Let's do two more laps later!" "Aaron, you went easy on him at first, didn't you? You only kicked it into full gear at the end!

I nearly had a heart attack!" "That drift around the corner-teach me how to do that!" ---- Aaron's grin stretched wider. After so long without a proper race, the pure thrill of speed made every nerve in his body buzz. It felt intoxicating. Absolutely glorious. He were born for this. The sight of someone giving everything, risking everything, was mesmerizing. He walked over to the passenger side, opened the door, bent down, and lifted Clara out. "You okay? Did I scare you? Feeling dizzy?" Clara's legs were like jelly, barely able to hold her up.

But when she looked at him-so confident, so alive, so unapologetically brilliant-she couldn't help but smile. Her eyes sparkled with admiration. "My husband is amazing! How could I possibly be scared?" What man could resist that look of pure worship from the woman he loved? Aaron didn't resist. Ignoring the blazing gazes around them, he leaned down and captured her lips. ---- Usually shy and reserved in public, Clara wrapped her arms around his neck, rose on tiptoe, and kissed him back with fire. Electricity shot through Aaron's entire body. His heart raced out of control.

His hands gripped her waist tightly, pulling her close, claiming every bit of sweetness she offered. "Whoa!" Whistles, cheers, and screams erupted from the crowd, loud and relentless. After a few seconds, Aaron forced himself to let go. He wasn't going to make it easy for the onlookers. "Aaron, you're unstoppable!" "Aaron, come on! So many single guys here. Why flaunt it like this?" Most of the crowd just shouted, "One more kiss! One more kiss!" ---- Aaron pulled Clara into his chest, hiding her face, and grinned as his eyes flicked toward the sleek black Bugatti parked a short distance away.

Just like that, the crowd's attention shifted. It was time to settle the bet. The second and third acts of the night were about to begin. Logan approached first, knocking lightly on the car window. "Mr. Carter, you ready?" Rhys had no way to escape. He lifted his head from the steering wheel, pale and weak, already imagining the fury his father would unleash. His limbs trembled as he forced himself out of the car. His face was ashen, eyes empty, and his gaze found Aaron's. Silent, desperate pleading. Aaron's expression remained icy.

This was the same Rhys who always found ways to be irritating. He didn't deserve pity. ---- Feeling trapped, Rhys tossed the car key lightly. Logan caught it without effort. The passenger door opened. Cassidy stepped out, scowling at how pathetic Rhys looked. But they were still on the same team, so she couldn't give the crowd a reason to laugh at them. She forced a calm smile, though her blood boiled. "It's not like we can't lose. It's a race. There's always a winner and a loser. We'll get him next time." She patted Rhys's shoulder. "Come on. It's just a hundred million-dollar car, right?

No big deal." Rhys couldn't bear losing face. He grabbed her hand. "Let's go." "Wait a second," a few girls blocked Cassidy's path. "Miss Hart, are you really this forgetful?" Cassidy had always been arrogant. Plenty of people wanted to see her humbled. Today, they finally had a chance. "Tch! I'm not scared," Cassidy snapped, brushing the redhead's hand off her shoulder.
