“Families must carry a bucket of carrots and cabbage and protect them from being eaten. At the finish line, each remaining carrot earns three points, and each remaining cabbage leaf earns one point.
“The total points can be redeemed for ingredients needed for the group’s lunch cooking session.”
Merida, recognizing most of the words on the task card, read them out loud before looking up. “Uncle Finn, did you understand? If not, I can explain it to you again!”
Did Merida think he had a learning disability?
Finnegan gave a slow nod before replying in a low voice, “I understood.”
Nearby, the teachers observing the three of them together found the sight particularly pleasing
“If that man weren’t Ms. Jones‘ brother, I’d totally be shipping them! Tall, handsome man, and beautiful woman with perfect height difference… and he can lift Merida with one hand? Ugh, they look so good together!”
Bridget covered her face with the task card, whispering to a colleague, “But they don’t have the same last name. Maybe they’re not blood–related siblings?”
The other teacher’s eyes lit up. “Step–siblings? Forbidden romance? Count me in!”
Bridget stole another glance at Elara and Finnegan, then sighed from the heart. “Well, they’re definitely winning the Best–Looking Family award.”
Meanwhile, as the teachers were gossiping, the ranch staff noticed a black Maybach pulling up to the entrance. The car door opened, and the first man to step out looked as if he had walked straight out of a fashion editorial.
A moment ago, the staff had been mesmerized by Finnegan’s rugged, masculine presence. But now, another equally stunning yet completely different type of man had arrived.
“Wait… Isn’t that Mr. Fisher? Our company’s Mr. Fisher?”
Mistvale Ranch was developed by Fisher Corp, and the adjacent luxury residential buildings were also part of their investments.
“It is Mr. Fisher!”
“He’s even more handsome in person! The rumors didn’t lie!”
Elara and Merida heard the commotion coming from not far away. But the moment they caught the words “Mr. Fisher“, their interest in looking back completely disappeared.
Harvey Fisher? What was there to see?
At the front of the approaching group, Beau strutted forward with a straight and proud posture. He w. clearly in a great mood.
Beside him, Niamh walked shoulder to shoulder with Harvey, both wearing matching outdoor jackets. Additionally, Niamh wore a baseball cap that was identical to Beau’s.
As she stepped out of the car, she lazily chewed a piece of bubblegum, occasionally blowing pink bubbles. Her raze swept over the female staff and teachers standing nearby.

Chapter 172
They were practically glowing with excitement at the sight of Harvey, and their faces were flushed with color. Niamh scoffed internally. These women were acting no better than a bunch of pigs in heat!
As if declaring her territory, she casually draped an arm over Harvey’s shoulder, striking a deliberately arrogant pose. Harvey, however, didn’t tolerate it for long. He brushed her arm off without hesitation.
He reminded her, “Walk properly.”
Her bubble popped audibly, and she clicked her tongue in amusement.
“He must be shy,” she thought as her eyes glinted mischievously.
