Waking up with my nemesis baby novel Chapter 154

Chapter 154

He felt a little gratified.

Kevin rarely used to ask him for anything.

It seemed the therapy sessions lately were having an effect.

“Okay.”

Roderick nodded in agreement.

“Kirsten, help us take the picture.”

“You got it.”

Kirsten took Roderick’s phone. The father and son stood

together in front of the sofa, with Kevin holding up the collage

in his hands.

Kirsten glanced into the camera at the man and boy, who

looked strikingly similar.

Hmm… even their stern expressions were identical.

“Um, sir, Kevin, how about a smile?”

Chapter 154

Anyone who didn’t know better would see the photo and think

something terrible had happened to their family.

With Kirsten’s reminder, the father and son finally managed to

pull at the corners of their mouths.

Kirsten looked at the phone and grimaced.

If they don’t smile, it looks like a family tragedy.

If they do smile, it looks like a tragedy drove them insane.

Kirsten was out of ideas. After thinking for a moment, she said,

“How about this, try thinking about Chase.”

That sentence was like a switch, instantly lighting up Roderick

and his son’s faces with much brighter smiles.

Kirsten seized the opportunity and snapped the picture.

“Got it!”

Minerva changed her clothes and came to the dance studio,

looking around joyfully.

“This mirror is huge, and there’s no seam in the middle.”

“The floor feels familiar to walk on too.”

“It feels so amazing to practice dancing here.”

Madeleine came in behind her, a proud smile on her face.

“You’re welcome to come practice at my place anytime.”

“Yeah!”

Minerva touched the barre and couldn’t help but sigh, “Roderick

is so good to you, Madeleine. I want to find a good man like

Roderick someday too.”

။

“Roderick is indeed very good.”

Madeleine nodded, walked in front of Minerva, her smile fading

slightly. “But it’s not because I was lucky to meet him. It’s

because…”

“I’m worth it.”

Those three words landed with a thud on the smooth wooden

floor of the dance studio, Madeleine’s eyes shining with a

determined light.

She patted Minerva’s shoulder. “I’m not bragging. I just want to

tell you that you only deserve to be loved when you become

good enough yourself.”

Minerva was still young, after all, and didn’t quite understand

what Madeleine was saying.

But she could see that the Madeleine of today was different

from before.

She seemed to be shimmering with a light, the light of

confidence.

A feeling quietly welled up inside Minerva.

She wanted to become a person like Madeleine too!

“Come on, little sis, let’s start practicing.”

Madeleine took off her jacket, revealing the form–fitting ballet

leotard underneath.

She walked gracefully to the barre, her long neck arching

slightly like a swan’s.

“First, the warm–up.”

Madeleine’s voice suddenly became professional and steady.

“Fifth position, prepare.”

Chapter 154

Minerva quickly got into position, only to see that Madeleine’s

stance was completely different from hers.

Madeleine’s feet were in a perfect one–hundred–and–eighty-

degree turnout, forming a straight line from heel to toe, as if

she was born to stand that way.

Her knees bent slowly, but her body remained perfectly straight,

like an elegant bamboo stalk.

Every movement was astonishingly precise, the lines of her

muscles faintly visible under her practice clothes.

“Make sure your knees are aligned with your toes.”

Madeleine’s voice was gentle but firm, “Minerva, turn your right

foot out a little more.”

Minerva bit her lip as she adjusted her position, only to see

Madeleine had already moved on to the next exercise.

Music had started playing at some point, and Madeleine’s body

unfolded with the melody.

Her every extension seemed endless, the lines of her arms soft

yet full of strength.
