Waking up with my nemesis baby novel Chapter 153

I have to make it up to him.”

Madeleine muttered to herself, wearing an expression that said,

“I would never buy sweets for myself.”

Roderick gave a half–smile.

Seeing Madeleine pick out a delicate little cake, he suddenly

said, “Buy another one.”

“Hey, I already said I’m not having any.”

Madeleine thought he wanted to buy one for her.

But he held back a laugh and explained, “Minerva Hatfield called

me when I was on my way to pick you up. She said she’s

coming over for the weekend.”

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Madeleine’s face. She

coughed and nodded.

“Oh, right. It’s for Minerva.”

Carrying two boxes of desserts, she returned home to find

Minerva in the living room, doing crafts with Kevin.

The two were bickering with each other.

“Hey, that’s not how you stick it on! It looks so ugly like that. Let

me do it!”

“Auntie… I think this looks even uglier.”

“Nonsense, no way. You must have gotten your sense of taste

from your mother.”

Madeleine felt that jab the moment she walked in.

What’s with the personal attack?

She instantly no longer wanted to give the cake to Minerva.

“Is my sense of taste really that bad?”

A cool voice sounded from behind Minerva. She turned around,

a little embarrassed.

She gave a mischievous grin, revealing her two cute canines, looking very adorable.

“I was just talking nonsense, Madeleine! Your sense of taste is the best, otherwise you wouldn’t have married Roderick, right?”

Madeleine: …

She glanced at Roderick beside her, who indeed looked puffed

up with pride.

She wondered if he’d secretly paid Minerva off. How could the

little girl praise her and still manage to loop it back into a

compliment for him?

At that moment, a certain little boy was in a state of confusion.

“Mommy, what’s a ‘sense of taste‘?”

Madeleine’s heart melted at his cuteness. She walked over and

pinched Kevin’s little cheek.

“A sense of taste is… um, knowing what looks good and what

doesn’t.”

Kevin blinked a couple of times and immediately said,

“Mommy’s pretty.”

“Good boy, I declare you have the best taste in the world!”

“Hehe.”

Kevin beamed, visibly happy.

Chapter 153

Roderick came over and put the small cake on the table, and

the two kids were immediately drawn to it.

“Minerva, are you sure you’re going to eat that?

I remember you’ve been preparing for the Swan’s Wing

International Youth Ballet Competition, right?”

Minerva nodded while opening the cake box, “Yeah, I’m eating.

How can I have energy for the competition if I don’t eat? Plus,

I’m still a kid, I’m still growing.”

Madeleine was left speechless.

“Well… you can’t indulge too much, right? This cake is pretty

high in calories.”

Only Roderick understood what Madeleine was really getting at.

He held back a laugh and sat down on the sofa.

Minerva scooped a piece of cake into her mouth and mumbled,

“I’ll just eat half then.”

“Half is fine. How many calories can half have, right? Let

Madeleine help you with the other half.”

Sounding perfectly reasonable, Madeleine went over and

squatted by the coffee table with Minerva to eat the cake.

Kevin, who was beside them, quickly pushed his own cake

toward Madeleine.

“Mommy, you can have all of mine.”

“No need, Kev. Mommy will just eat your aunt’s. You go ahead

and eat yours.”

Minerva: …

The cake wasn’t actually that big, and Madeleine only had a

couple of bites to satisfy her craving.

But even so, she wasn’t willing to slack off, and pulled Minerva

to the dance studio to practice and burn off the calories.

Just as Madeleine and Minerva left the living room, Kevin put

down his fork.

The little guy didn’t actually like sweets much; he only ate most

of it because his mom had bought it.

He pushed the cake away slightly and looked at the craft
