waking up with my nemesis' baby novel

This kid ... where did he learn to be such a smooth talker at his age ? He didn't remember being like that when he was little . Roderick had booked the restaurant , a top - tier luxury place perfect for a family dinner . Of course , Harold and Clarissa had to be invited ; they were Minerva's aunt and uncle . Somehow , Owen found out . He called and said he wanted to come over too . When Madeleine found out , she made a point to talk to the head chef and switch out a few dishes for ones suitable for a pregnant woman . The whole family was gathered together around a large table .

" Come on , let's all raise our glasses and toast to our little Mina for winning the championship! " Chapter 235 Harold stood up . After he spoke , his eyes reddened without him realizing it , and he instinctively turned to look at Madeleine , who was sitting nearby . Madeleine was puzzled by his stare . " What's wrong , Dad ? Why are you looking at me like that ? " " I was just thinking how fast time flies . I still remember when you were little and won awards , I threw banquets to celebrate for you , too .

" As he spoke , Harold raised a hand and wiped the corners of his moist eyes with the back of it . Hearing this made Madeleine's heart ache a little , too . Yeah , time really flies . Harold was a sensitive and sentimental man , but Owen was the complete opposite . He clicked his tongue and raised his glass to clink with Harold's . " Harold , look at you . Why are you saying such sad things on a Chapter 235 happy day like this ? " " So what if time flies ? Isn't it great that we're surrounded by our children and grandchildren ?

" He finished speaking , shook his head , and muttered under his breath . " You're just being dramatic . " Harold laughed when he heard that . " Yeah , let's not talk about that stuff . " He smiled , shook his head , and downed the wine in his glass . " Let's just be happy . " The atmosphere became lively again . The dishes , exquisite and delicious , were served one after another , and everyone was laughing constantly . Owen and Madeleine's parents would occasionally tell funny stories about the young couple's childhood , making Minerva giggle while clutching her stomach .

Madeleine put her hand on her forehead , wishing she could cover her son Kevin's ears right now . Chapter 235 How embarrassing . How was she , as his mom , supposed to keep any respect in front of her son after this ? While they were eating , Madeleine's phone rang . She picked it up and looked at it , a little surprised . " Kev , your kindergarten is having an art festival ? " " Yeah . " Kevin nodded , looked up , and said , " Mommy , I'm going to play the piano for the art festival . " Madeleine's mouth fell open in surprise when she heard that .

It wasn't just her ; everyone else at the table looked over in surprise . " Kev , did you volunteer to perform? " " Maddie , when is it ? Can Grandma come and watch ? " " Grandpa just bought a new camera . I'll take pictures of you then , okay ? " Everyone was talking at once , and Kevin didn't know who to answer . Chapter 235 So he didn't answer anyone and just turned to look at Madeleine . " Mommy , can you come to the kindergarten for the art festival ? " The two of them , one big and one small , locked eyes . Madeleine's eyes , twinkling like stars , were quivering . Kevin ...

he actually asked for something on his own . And it was an earnest request , full of hope . This is wonderful ... Madeleine felt a sting in her nose . Thinking about how the little guy used to be so sensitive , suppressing his needs and too scared to say what he really felt , made Madeleine's heart ache . She took a deep breath , fighting back her emotions and nodded . " Of course , Kev . How could Mommy miss your event ? " Kevin's eyes grew even brighter . Chapter 235 Madeleine stroked her son's little cheek and smiled happily .

The little guy turned his head to look at Roderick , who didn't wait to be asked . " Yeah , I'll go with Mom . " " That's great . " When Kevin got happy , his little face flushed , looking incredibly cute . With that , the four grandparents couldn't sit still . His mom and dad were going . What about the grandpas and grandmas ? Owen coughed and asked casually , " For these kindergarten events , how many family members are usually allowed to come? " As soon as Owen said this , the dinner table fell silent for a second . Immediately after , Clarissa put down her fork and looked at Madeleine .

" Maddie , for this kind of event , how many parents can usually go ? Chapter 235 Are there enough seats? " Harold chimed in , " Yes , that's a very important question .
