waking up with my nemesis' baby novel

Kirsten watched Kevin struggling to keep his eyes open , his little head nodding , and her heart completely melted at the pitiful sight . She walked over and gently stroked his hair . " Be a good boy , Young Master . Your mom and Aunt Rebecca have something very important to discuss , so they might be back a little late . " She coaxed him softly , " You go to sleep first . When you wake up tomorrow morning , you'll definitely see your mom , okay ? " Kevin's little lip jutted out even more , his eyes shimmering with sleepy tears , but he still stubbornly shook his head . " No ...

What if I fall asleep , and Mom comes back , just takes one look at me , and leaves ? " Just like this morning ..." His voice trailed off , thick with hurt and unease . Even though he was doing much better , needing his mom and fearing separation were still the most basic instincts for a kid Chapter 278 his age . Just as Kirsten was wondering what else to say , the soft click of the front door came from the living room . Kevin's sleepy little head shot up , his eyes instantly lighting up like a puppy hearing its owner's footsteps .

He slid off the piano bench almost instantly , not even bothering to fix his slippers , and padded quickly toward the living room. " Mommy ! " Madeleine had just changed her shoes when she looked up to see her son barreling toward her like a little cannonball , throwing his arms around her legs . She still carried the slight chill of the night air , but her heart instantly melted at her son's warm embrace . " Kev ? " Madeleine was a little surprised . She bent down , scooped her son up , and stroked his warm little cheek . " Why aren't you asleep yet ? It's so late .

" Chapter 278 Kevin hugged his mom's neck tightly , burying his face in the crook of her neck . He took a deep breath of her familiar scent before lifting his head , content , his sleepiness seeming to fade away . " Mom , I missed you so much . " Kevin buried his face in Madeleine's neck , his voice muffled , and you could barely make out the sadness in it unless you listened closely . Madeleine felt her heart melt instantly . She quickly turned and kissed the little one's head . " Did Kev miss Mommy ? " " Mhm . " Kevin nodded gently in her arms , his soft hair brushing against her chin .

Madeleine could feel his small hands gripping the corner of her clothes tightly , as if he was afraid she would disappear if he let go . " Mommy's been too busy lately , I've really been neglecting my Chapter 278 little Kev . " Madeleine said softly , her fingertips combing through her son's hair , " It'll be over in a little more than two months . When it is , Mommy will definitely spend lots of time with you , take you to the aquarium , and we can go camping together , just like you mentioned last time , okay ? " Unexpectedly , the little one gently shook his head after hearing this .

He looked up , his eyes a little red as if he might have been crying secretly , but they were exceptionally clear and bright . " Mommy , you don't have to make it up to me on purpose ." He spoke word by word , his childish voice carrying a maturity beyond his years . " This is something Mommy likes to do . Mommy should live for herself , not for me , and not for anyone else . As long as Mommy is happy , that's the best thing . " Madeleine was stunned . Those weren't words you'd expect a four or five - year - old child to say .

1 Chapter 278 She looked at her son's round face , her heart filled with both surprise and tenderness . " Kev , who ... who told you all this ? " She asked softly . Kevin blinked his big eyes and said honestly , " Daddy said it ." He loosened his grip on his mother slightly and gestured as he spoke : " Daddy said Mommy is a person who shines , and she's doing something very important . He said I have to learn to wait , like waiting for the stars to come out . Even though you have to wait until it's dark , the stars are especially bright and totally worth it .

" Madeleine's heart felt as if it were enveloped in the warmest current , and her eyes grew a little hot . She hadn't expected Roderick to explain her busyness to their child this way ; he not only protected her image in their child's heart but also taught him understanding and respect . She pulled her son back into her arms , kissed the top of his head , her voice a little choked up , " Daddy's right , but Mommy still missed you . Thank you for being so understanding , Kev .

" Chapter 278 Kevin snuggled in his mother's arms and said softly : " I want to be like Mommy too , doing things I like . I'm learning to paint new pictures now . Daddy bought me new paintbrushes . " The guilt in Madeleine's heart was soothed away .
