This was some of the only time he’d get to be alone with his
wife tonight.
Outside, Kevin was waiting, watching the clock.
The second the time was up, he knocked on the door.
“Mom, Dad, can I come in?”
“Of course you can, my sweetie.”
Madeleine came and opened the door, scooping Kevin up into
her arms.
Her freshly dried hair brushed against Kevin’s face, tickling him.
He wrinkled his little nose, and a second later, broke into a wide
smile.
Mommy smells so good.
With that thought, he wrapped his arms around Madeleine’s
neck and nuzzled his head into the crook of her neck.
Roderick stood to the side, frowning slightly as he watched his

son monopolize his wife.
“Kevin, you’re too old to be held like that.”
Kevin looked up at Roderick, confused.
“But Dad, you used to say I was a little baby.”
“Did I?”
“Yes, you did.”
Kevin nodded emphatically.
He pressed his lips together and couldn’t help but complain,
“Dad, you’re being so mean. You were never this mean before.”
Roderick gritted his teeth.
That was different!
!
Before, when Madeleine was cold to him, Roderick felt sorry for his son, so he’d given him a double dose of love to make up for
her part.
But now?

Madeleine doted on the boy so much that even he, his own.
father, was a little envious.
Madeleine glanced at him. “Ricki, are you really jealous of our
son?”
“Who said I was jealous?”
Roderick would never admit it.
He came over and took their son from Madeleine’s arms. “You
can’t spoil kids too much. You’ve been tired lately, and I don’t
want you to wear yourself out holding him.”
Kevin was the most surprised to hear this.
He immediately looked terrified, as if he’d done something
wrong, and gazed worriedly at Madeleine.
“Mommy… do your arms hurt?”
Madeleine was a bit stunned.
She saw Kevin’s panicked and uneasy look, and her heart
immediately tightened.
With that thought, she slapped Roderick’s arm irritably.

“What nonsense are you talking about? No matter how tired I
am, it’s fine for me to hold my son.”
After speaking, she quickly pinched the little guy’s cheek.
“Kev, don’t listen to your dad. Mommy loves holding you the
most.”
She leaned in, touched her forehead to Kevin’s, and smiled
brightly.
“I could get tired holding anyone, but I’ll never get tired of
holding our Kev.”
After a few words, the unease in Kevin’s eyes seemed to
gradually fade.
Then he went back to normal.
He started smiling again.
“That’s good, Mommy. If you get tired, just tell me.”
“Okay, but you have to promise me too. If little Kevin is unhappy or uncomfortable about anything, you have to tell Mommy too.”
She had to correct this child, little by little, and teach him to bravely express his inner thoughts.

Didn’t Mr. Eleanor say it before? Treatment is just a
supplementary measure; the most important thing is the
family’s companionship and support.
Kevin nodded obediently, and Madeleine smiled and held out
her pinky.
“Pinky promise.”
“Pinky promise!”
The family of three lay on the bed. Madeleine was telling a
bedtime story for the child, but after just a few sentences, she
started to feel sleepy herself.
She had been really tired these past few days. During the day,
she not only worried about starting her business but also had to
find time to practice dancing and stretch her muscles.
And at night, she had to deal with Roderick…
Even the best body would fall apart.
Seeing she couldn’t stay awake and had fallen asleep, Roderick
gave a look to Kevin, who was in the middle, listening intently
with wide eyes.
