She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 153

The National Junior Prodigy Challenge was hosted at the Star-Lite Grand Hotel, and the entrance was absolutely swarming with an excited, buzzing crowd.

"This event is sponsored by the York Group, Fairmont's most prestigious family. They even lowered the age limit to three years old this year."

Someone nearby voiced their skepticism. "Can a three-year-old really be smart enough to make it to the finals?"

"Oh, you'd be surprised!" another chimed in, practically glowing with awe. "Two three-year-olds actually qualified. Especially that kid named Caleb Chase."

"The boy knows thousands of words at three! His English vocabulary is insane, and he even understands advanced physics and chemistry."

"Kids these days are absolute geniuses."

"..."

Colorful banners and glossy posters of the contestants plastered the entrance. The words "National Junior Prodigy Grand Finale" gleamed in bold gold lettering, ratcheting up the tension and excitement in the air.

Nervous but hopeful parents hovered around the finalists, who were all dressed smartly in matching competition uniforms, their young faces shining with determination.

Inside, the tiered audience seating was packed to the brim, without a single empty chair in sight.

A panel of stern, industry-leading experts sat at the judges' table, looking incredibly serious and sharply focused.

The backstage waiting area was suffocatingly tense. The finalists, handpicked prodigies from across the country, all carried themselves with a chillingly mature composure far beyond their years.

Quinn finally met up with Yara and the two kids. "Auntie Quinn, we're over here!"

Luna smoothly switched to calling her "Auntie" in public without missing a beat.

Quinn pressed a kiss to Luna's soft cheek. As she hugged the little girl tight, all the frustration, anger, and bitterness from the morning simply melted away.

In this moment, her heart swelled with absolute pride for her children.

"Caleb, are you nervous at all?"

Caleb shook his head, radiating cool confidence. "Nope. With you and Yara cheering me on, I'm not nervous at all."

He hadn't been nearly this thrilled when he first qualified because his mom had been away.

He wanted his mother and sister to be right there with him when he finally got his moment to shine, to share in his victory.

Now, brimming with confidence, his eyes practically sparkled beneath his mask.
