The family–friendly restaurant they were going to tonight had a
nice atmosphere, perfect for taking pictures, so Madeleine had
specifically changed into a blue dress she loved.
It was a hazy–blue velvet dress with perfectly pleated hems,
glowing softly in the sunset.
The slim fit outlined her slender waist, and the V–neck perfectly
revealed her delicate collarbones, making her skin look as white
as snow.
When she got out of the car and just stood by the kindergarten
gate, she quickly became the center of attention.
It was just a few minutes before the kids were let out, and
many adults were waiting at the gate.
A few of the men, in particular, were openly staring at her with
appreciative and probing looks.
Madeleine didn’t look up. Her phone buzzed in her bag, so she
took it out to look.
It was from Roderick’s secretary, Teresa.
Chapter 185
Teresa: [Alert!
Chase, the boss is acting weird today!]
Madeleine was confused. Wondering if something was wrong
with Roderick at work, she quickly typed back to ask what
happened.
Teresa: [The boss didn’t come to the office this morning, and he
just left early. It looks like he has something important to do.]
Staring at her phone for two seconds, Madeleine couldn’t help
but chuckle.
So that’s what this was about.
She held back her laughter and typed.
Madeleine: [Oh really? When a man’s this quiet, he’s definitely
up to something. He’s probably going on a date.]
The other person was silent for a full minute.
A moment later.
Teresa: [!

Madeleine stared at the three exclamation points and couldn’t
help but laugh out loud.
Alright, those three exclamation points would probably keep those four secretaries guessing for days.
Just then, the cheerful end–of–school song started playing from
inside the kindergarten, and Madeleine immediately looked up.
Ever since the incident with Nanette at the kindergarten, they
had strengthened security, both in terms of guards and teacher
staffing.
Not only that, but Madeleine also found out later that Roderick
had directly invested in the kindergarten, and he did it in her
name.
Now Madeleine was one of the shareholders, and any changes
at the kindergarten had to get her approval.
At first, Madeleine thought it was a waste of money.
But then she thought about it, and nothing was more important
than her son’s physical and mental well–being.
Chapter 185
Within the five minutes Madeleine stood at the gate, the
kindergarten immediately got the news, and the principal
personally brought Kevin out.
“Mrs. Livingston.”
The principal’s smile was a bit fawning as she greeted
Madeleine from a distance.
Madeleine nodded back with a gentle smile.
The last incident had terrified the principal, so she had been
working diligently these days and reported to Madeleine
frequently.
“I just checked with a few of Kevin’s teachers. The boy was very
well–behaved today.”
“Oh, really?”
Madeleine smiled, looked down, and stroked Kevin’s little head.
The little guy straightened his back, very happy to hear the
praise. s
He was a bit more sensitive than other children and always
needed more positive feedback.
Chapter 185
Seeing how elegantly Madeleine was dressed, the principal
casually asked, “Mrs. Livingston, are you taking Kevin to an
event tonight?”
“A family activity. The three of us are planning to go out for
dinner.”
“Oh, I see. I won’t keep you then.”
A hint of envy appeared on the principal’s face as she nodded
with a smile.
“Kev, say bye–bye to the principal.”
