waking up with my nemesis' baby novel

Chapter 186 For him , it didn't matter where they ate . Even the most fun places didn't interest him much . But ... If he was going with his mom , that was different . " Does Kev know about those kinds of restaurants ? " " I do . " The little guy nodded firmly and answered seriously , " The kids at preschool told me about them . " " Oh ... " Hearing this , Madeleine's heart inexplicably ached . The thought that she had probably rarely , or perhaps never , taken her son to a place like that , forcing him to just listen to other kids talk about it with an envious look on his face .

Madeleine felt a tightness in her chest . Chapter 186 She sniffled . " Kev , if you like it , how about Mommy spends more time with you from now on ? " " Really ? " " Really . " Madeleine held out her pinky . " Let's pinky promise . " A smile touched Kevin's lips , and he immediately hooked his little finger with hers . He loved this feeling . The feeling of making a promise with his mom . The car pulled up to the family - friendly restaurant , and Madeleine glanced at the time . It was three minutes before her meeting time with Roderick .

She was about to go in first when the driver said , " He's here . " She rolled down the window and saw that Roderick's car had indeed arrived . " Right on time , Mr. Livingston . " Just as she said that , Madeleine noticed Roderick was holding a bouquet of flowers as he got out of the car . Chapter 186 A blue - themed bouquet that complemented the color of her clothes . " Hey , how did you know what color I'd be wearing ? " " Great minds think alike . " Roderick walked over with a smile , handed the flowers to Madeleine , and then leaned in to give her a kiss .

Madeleine's face immediately flushed , and she quickly turned to look at her son behind her . What's with this guy ? Why does he have to kiss me every time he gives me flowers ? She turned and saw that her son's expression was , as expected , a little resentful ... Madeleine frowned slightly . Thinking about how her son already had some emotional detachment , she irritably hit Roderick's shoulder . " You didn't think to get a gift for our son , did you ? " " Of course I did . " Roderick said , pulling a small teddy bear from his other hand Chapter 186 like a magic trick .

It wasn't big , just palm - sized , and didn't look particularly special . " Kevin . " Roderick waved him over , and the little guy walked up , looking up at him . " This is for you . " " Thank you , Daddy . " Kevin took it and started playing with it , his head bowed . From where Madeleine was standing , just as her son took the bear , she caught a glimpse of the embroidered letters on the back of its clothes ... Wait a minute . She looked down again at the wrapping paper on the flowers in her hand , and her face fell .

Madeleine leaned in , annoyed , speaking in a voice only Roderick could hear . " Was this bear a free gift with the flowers ? " Chapter 186 " Yeah . " Roderick answered with total confidence . So what if it was free ? It's still a gift , isn't it ? Remembering to grab a little bear for his son while buying a gift for his wife was already pretty damn good , okay . Madeleine put a hand to her forehead . Why did she suddenly feel a little sorry for her son ? But the little guy didn't seem to mind ; he was just excited about having a nice meal with his mom and dad . " Let's go , Kev .

Mommy ordered a little cake for you , I know you'll love it . " " Thanks , Mommy ! " The family - friendly restaurant was located in the revolving restaurant on the top floor of a downtown building , the entire space decorated like an enchanted fairytale forest . The entrance had twinkling star lights and a giant mushroom archway , with waiters in mascot costumes handing out balloons to the children . Chapter 186 Madeleine had found out before they came that the private dining rooms here were themed after fairytales .

She remembered her son's favorite story was The Little Prince , so she specifically booked that theme . The little guy's eyes went wide when he saw it . " Do you like it ? " " I love it ! " Kevin nodded enthusiastically . Then he remembered something and asked , " Mommy , can you take a picture of me ? " " Of course . " Madeleine had even brought several cameras just for this . Madeleine was taking pictures of Kevin , and after watching for a moment , Roderick unconsciously took out his phone and snapped a photo too . Two minutes later , Mr.

Livingston , who hadn't posted on his moments in ages , updated it . Chapter 186 【 This is enough . 】 The accompanying picture was carefully chosen . Madeleine was holding a camera that blocked her face , and from the angle of the shot , you could only see her graceful figure . On the other side was Kevin's bright , beaming smile . Less than a minute after he posted , dozens of comments flooded in .
