waking up with my nemesis' baby novel

Chapter 292 When I was a kid , I tried every trick in the book to slack off . " Madeleine twisted open the cap , took a big gulp of water , and asked casually while leaning against the barre . Leona glanced at her , her tone flat . " Didn't have time to think about being tired of it . I only thought about how to dance better , to surpass you . " Madeleine : ... This conversation was just asking for humiliation . After a moment , Madeleine couldn't help but speak again . " So , you think if I signed up for an adult hobby class at my current level , would I scare the teacher ?

" This time , Leona didn't even look up , saying coldly , " You'd only make the other students look like they just learned to walk . " Madeleine choked . Was that a compliment or an insult ? She rubbed her nose sheepishly . Chapter 292 After a brief silence , Madeleine looked at Leona's cold , hard profile and suddenly asked softly , " Leona , why ... why are you helping me like this ? " She could tell Leona was serious . The precise pointers , the seemingly disdainful yet practical " compliments , " and even showing up every day without fail- none of it was half - hearted .

If she was just here to mock her declining skills , she would have had her laugh and left long ago . Leona's fingers tightened slightly around the water bottle . She was silent for a few seconds , her gaze still fixed on the empty studio ahead . Her voice was a little lower than before , but still held no warmth : " I can't stand to see it ." " What ? " Madeleine didn't understand . " Your body . " Leona finally turned her head , her sharp eyes scanning Chapter 292 Madeleine . " Your body still remembers how to dance .

It's just blocked by a bunch of junk ." Her tone carried an almost obsessive certainty . " It's a shame to waste it . " After saying that , she seemed to feel she'd said too much . She stood up abruptly and placed the half - finished water bottle on the floor . Her tone reverted to its previous coldness . " Break's over . Let's continue . We're mastering that small jump combination today . " Madeleine watched her back , and the doubt in her heart suddenly vanished . Leona was helping her , but perhaps it wasn't for Madeleine the person at all .

It was for the body she still recognized but couldn't dance well , for the dormant dancing instinct that she believed shouldn't be " wasted . " This reason was very Leona - very pure , and even a bit impersonal . But for some reason , Madeleine felt that this , more than any Chapter 292 help born of pity or old friendship , made her feel more grounded and ... respected . She smiled , put down her water bottle , and walked quickly to the center of the studio . " We're here !

" In the evening , Minerva went to the Livingston family's house after school , picked up Kevin , and had Mathew drive them to the dance studio . She knew her cousin Madeleine had been practicing dancing lately and had been wanting to come . Today , she begged her brother - in - law for a long time before he finally sent the address and told her the driver would take them . The two little ones looked around and finally found the dance studio . The bottom half of the glass outside was frosted , and you could only see through the top .

Minerva could barely see by standing on her tiptoes , while Kevin was so anxious he was jumping in place , craning his little head high , but he couldn't see a thing . " Minerva , where's Mommy ? " Chapter 292 He tugged on Minerva's sleeve , urging her in a soft , childish voice , his little face full of worry . Minerva strained on her tiptoes , her eyes lighting up , " I see her ! I see her ! She's dancing ! Wow , what a beautiful spin ! " She was mesmerized and couldn't help but copy the moves , her small body wiggling along . Kevin got even more anxious .

His little lip trembled as he said pitifully , " I want to see too . " Minerva was just a kid herself ; there was no way she could hold Kevin up to see . She tried and almost made them both fall down . Blinking her big eyes , Minerva had a bright idea , " I'll go look for a little stool ! " After looking around , Minerva actually found one . She brought it over and put it under the glass wall , and Kevin immediately scrambled onto it . Just then , Kevin saw his mom lose her balance during a spin Chapter 292 and fall to the floor . " Mommy !

" Kevin's little heart nearly leaped out of his chest , and he couldn't stop himself from shouting . " Mom ! " Kevin's tearful cry was sharp and clear , piercing through the dance studio's music and the glass partition , reaching Madeleine's ears . Madeleine was pushing herself up from the floor and snapped her head up at the sound . Following the voice , she saw a small , anxious face with red- rimmed eyes pressed against the top of the glass wall . Who else could it be but her precious son ?
