waking up with my nemesis' baby novel

Chapter 154 He felt a little gratified . Kevin rarely used to ask him for anything . It seemed the therapy sessions lately were having an effect . " Okay . " Roderick nodded in agreement . " Kirsten , help us take the picture . " " You got it . " Kirsten took Roderick's phone . The father and son stood together in front of the sofa , with Kevin holding up the collage in his hands . Kirsten glanced into the camera at the man and boy , who looked strikingly similar . Hmm ... even their stern expressions were identical . " Um , sir , Kevin , how about a smile?

" Chapter 154 Anyone who didn't know better would see the photo and think something terrible had happened to their family . With Kirsten's reminder , the father and son finally managed to pull at the corners of their mouths . Kirsten looked at the phone and grimaced . If they don't smile , it looks like a family tragedy . If they do smile , it looks like a tragedy drove them insane . Kirsten was out of ideas . After thinking for a moment , she said , " How about this , try thinking about Chase .

" That sentence was like a switch , instantly lighting up Roderick and his son's faces with much brighter smiles . Kirsten seized the opportunity and snapped the picture . " Got it ! " Minerva changed her clothes and came to the dance studio , looking around joyfully . " This mirror is huge , and there's no seam in the middle ." Chapter 154 " The floor feels familiar to walk on too . " " It feels so amazing to practice dancing here . " Madeleine came in behind her , a proud smile on her face . " You're welcome to come practice at my place anytime ." " Yeah !

" Minerva touched the barre and couldn't help but sigh , " Roderick is so good to you , Madeleine . I want to find a good man like Roderick someday too . " ။ " Roderick is indeed very good . " Madeleine nodded , walked in front of Minerva , her smile fading slightly . " But it's not because I was lucky to meet him . It's because ... " " I'm worth it . " Those three words landed with a thud on the smooth wooden floor of the dance studio , Madeleine's eyes shining with a determined light . She patted Minerva's shoulder . " I'm not bragging .

I just want to tell you that you only deserve to be loved when you become Chapter 154 good enough yourself . " Minerva was still young , after all , and didn't quite understand what Madeleine was saying . But she could see that the Madeleine of today was different from before . She seemed to be shimmering with a light , the light of confidence . A feeling quietly welled up inside Minerva . She wanted to become a person like Madeleine too ! " Come on , little sis , let's start practicing . " Madeleine took off her jacket , revealing the form - fitting ballet leotard underneath .

She walked gracefully to the barre , her long neck arching slightly like a swan's . " First , the warm - up . " Madeleine's voice suddenly became professional and steady . " Fifth position , prepare . " Chapter 154 Minerva quickly got into position , only to see that Madeleine's stance was completely different from hers . Madeleine's feet were in a perfect one - hundred - and - eighty- degree turnout , forming a straight line from heel to toe , as if she was born to stand that way . Her knees bent slowly , but her body remained perfectly straight , like an elegant bamboo stalk .

Every movement was astonishingly precise, the lines of her muscles faintly visible under her practice clothes . " Make sure your knees are aligned with your toes . " Madeleine's voice was gentle but firm , " Minerva , turn your right foot out a little more . " Minerva bit her lip as she adjusted her position , only to see Madeleine had already moved on to the next exercise . Music had started playing at some point , and Madeleine's body unfolded with the melody . Her every extension seemed endless , the lines of her arms soft yet full of strength .

Chapter 154 When she slowly lifted her right leg to a ninety - degree angle , her body remained as steady as a rock . Minerva watched , completely captivated . This wasn't just a simple warm - up ; it was clearly a small performance . And nobody told her Madeleine was this amazing ! " Madeleine ... have you really not danced in years ? Because ... you can't tell at all . " Madeleine smiled and lowered her leg , her breathing still even .

" I'm nowhere near as good as I used to be ." " Ballet isn't about showing off , it's about control ." She walked over to Minerva and gently straightened her shoulders . " We'll take it slow . " Even though she hadn't danced in years , with Madeleine's foundation , teaching Minerva was no problem at all . They danced for two hours , and she helped Minerva correct quite a few issues . Chapter 154 Both of them were drenched in sweat and panting from the dancing . " Alright , let's call it a day . " Madeleine smiled and wiped her sweat . " I have to go spend time with my husband and son .

" " I'm going to practice a bit more to let it all sink in ! " " Okay . " Madeleine nodded and walked towards the elevator with her back straight .
