waking up with my nemesis' baby novel

The family - friendly restaurant they were going to tonight had a nice atmosphere , perfect for taking pictures , so Madeleine had specifically changed into a blue dress she loved . It was a hazy - blue velvet dress with perfectly pleated hems , glowing softly in the sunset . The slim fit outlined her slender waist , and the V - neck perfectly revealed her delicate collarbones , making her skin look as white as snow . When she got out of the car and just stood by the kindergarten gate , she quickly became the center of attention .

It was just a few minutes before the kids were let out , and many adults were waiting at the gate . A few of the men , in particular , were openly staring at her with appreciative and probing looks . Madeleine didn't look up . Her phone buzzed in her bag , so she took it out to look . It was from Roderick's secretary , Teresa . Chapter 185 Teresa : [ Alert ! Chase , the boss is acting weird today ! ] Madeleine was confused . Wondering if something was wrong with Roderick at work , she quickly typed back to ask what happened .

Teresa : [ The boss didn't come to the office this morning , and he just left early . It looks like he has something important to do . ] Staring at her phone for two seconds , Madeleine couldn't help but chuckle . So that's what this was about . She held back her laughter and typed . Madeleine : [ Oh really ? When a man's this quiet , he's definitely up to something . He's probably going on a date . ] The other person was silent for a full minute . A moment later . Teresa : [ ! !

Chapter 185 !] Madeleine stared at the three exclamation points and couldn't help but laugh out loud . Alright , those three exclamation points would probably keep those four secretaries guessing for days . Just then , the cheerful end - of - school song started playing from inside the kindergarten , and Madeleine immediately looked up . Ever since the incident with Nanette at the kindergarten , they had strengthened security , both in terms of guards and teacher staffing .

Not only that , but Madeleine also found out later that Roderick had directly invested in the kindergarten , and he did it in her name . Now Madeleine was one of the shareholders , and any changes at the kindergarten had to get her approval . At first , Madeleine thought it was a waste of money . But then she thought about it , and nothing was more important than her son's physical and mental well - being . Chapter 185 Within the five minutes Madeleine stood at the gate , the kindergarten immediately got the news , and the principal personally brought Kevin out . " Mrs.

Livingston ." The principal's smile was a bit fawning as she greeted Madeleine from a distance . Madeleine nodded back with a gentle smile . The last incident had terrified the principal , so she had been working diligently these days and reported to Madeleine frequently . " I just checked with a few of Kevin's teachers . The boy was very well - behaved today . " " Oh , really ? " Madeleine smiled , looked down , and stroked Kevin's little head . The little guy straightened his back , very happy to hear the praise .

s He was a bit more sensitive than other children and always needed more positive feedback . Chapter 185 Seeing how elegantly Madeleine was dressed , the principal casually asked , " Mrs. Livingston , are you taking Kevin to an event tonight ? " " A family activity . The three of us are planning to go out for dinner . " " Oh , I see . I won't keep you then . " A hint of envy appeared on the principal's face as she nodded with a smile . " Kev , say bye - bye to the principal ." " Bye - bye , Principal .

" The moment he turned his head , Kevin , who had been relatively calm , beamed with joy , his eyes sparkling . Mom just said , a family activity ... Once in the car , Kevin was still thinking about what had just been said . The little guy's face gave everything away . He glanced around before finally turning his head , unable to hold back . " Mommy ... " Chapter 185 Madeleine chuckled and tapped his nose . " Couldn't hold it in , huh ? Next time , just say what's on your mind . Why think about it for so long ? " Even though Mr.

Eleanor had said his son's therapy had made great progress recently . But Madeleine still felt it wasn't enough . She wished so much for Kev to be like a normal kid , good at expressing his feelings and brave enough to share his thoughts . " Mommy , what's that family activity you just mentioned ? " " Mommy's taking you to a family - friendly restaurant for dinner . How does that sound ? " " A family - friendly restaurant ? " Kevin paused , seeming unfamiliar with the term .

Madeleine thought he didn't understand , so she nodded and explained , " It's a restaurant with themes that lots of kids like . We can eat yummy food , and after we're done , we can take pictures , play games , and there are other kids there too . " Kevin's eyes sparkled , full of anticipation . Chapter 185 He wasn't excited about going to a family - friendly restaurant . But about going with his mom .
