Now that the main culprit was gone, and with his parents
getting along well, his symptoms would naturally get better.
“Mommy, can it be just the two of us tonight?”
Madeleine didn’t get it at first, looking up at Kevin with an
amused expression.
“Kev, who taught you about ‘a world for two‘?”
“I read it in a book.”
Kevin was dead serious.
“A man and a woman, alone together, and it’s really sweet. That
means they’re in a world for two. Isn’t that us?”
Madeleine was stunned by the little guy’s logic, and it took her a
moment before she burst out laughing.
“Oh, Kev, you… hahahaha, you’re just too cute.”
Kevin blinked in confusion. Was he wrong? But that’s what the
book said.
Chapter 224
He had even double–checked it himself.
For the past two days, he had been alone with his mom. She would take him shopping and out to play, and they were very
sweet together.
If this wasn’t a world for two, then what was?
“Mommy, was I wrong?”
“Right, right, whatever my Maddie says is right.”
She ruffled the little guy’s hair, glanced at the time, and said,
“We’re going to pick up Aunt Minerva soon, so no world for two
today.”
“Aww…”
Kevin looked a little disappointed.
“Kev, you can’t be like that. Aunt Minerva is a guest, and we
have to fulfill our host’s duties, understand?”
Kevin nodded obediently, but after thinking for a moment, he
couldn’t help but look up.
“Mommy, what are host’s duties?”
Chapter 224
Madeleine: …
Uh, Kev was too young, so it was normal for him not to
understand some phrases.
After patiently explaining, Madeleine told Kevin that Aunt
Minerva would be staying here for the next two days.
He looked even more disappointed, but remembering what his
mom said about fulfilling their host’s duties, he forced a smile.
The reason Minerva was staying at Madeleine’s house for a few
days was simple.
She had a competition next week and needed to train
intensively for a few days. The dance studio at her school had
to be rented by the hour and wasn’t as big as the one at
Madeleine’s house, so she came over.
With her competition coming up, Madeleine was nervous too,
and she practiced with her whenever she had free time.
“I’m so nervous, Madeleine.”
Minerva collapsed on the floor, exhausted, her forehead
covered in sweat.
Chapter 224
Madeleine lay down with her, and the two of them stared at the
ceiling.
“What’s there to be nervous about? I’ve been in so many
competitions, and I never got nervous.”
“Really?
Minerva turned her head, a look of surprise on her face.
Madeleine chuckled. “Of course I’m kidding. How could I not be
nervous? But being nervous doesn’t help. Once you’re on stage,
you can only dance your best when you’re natural and relaxed.”
Minerva thought about it and nodded, feeling that Madeleine had a point.
After a moment, she asked again, “Madeleine, you’ve been in so
many competitions, which one left the deepest impression on
you?”
“The deepest impression…”
Madeleine closed her eyes and thought for a moment.
“It was probably a competition during my sophomore year of
Chapter 224
high school.”
“Why was it so memorable? Did you not perform well?”
Madeleine shook her head. “No, I practiced day and night for a
long time, won first place, and successfully represented the city
in the national competition.”
Hearing this, Minerva’s eyes lit up. She rolled over, propping
herself up on her elbows to look at Madeleine with admiration.
“Wow, Madeleine, you’re amazing! The dance you did that day
