Chapter 231
The words ‘go back on my word‘ don’t exist in my vocabulary.”
After saying that, she strode purposefully to the bathroom to
wash up.
Adrian didn’t say anything more after that. He ate with her and
then left.
He had slept on the sofa last night. Rebecca looked at the sofa,
feeling a little uneasy.
“This sofa is so small and narrow, how did he even sleep…”
“Stupid, why didn’t he just come into the bedroom?”
Rebecca’s abrupt hang–up made Madeleine even more excited.
A man!
A man!
There was actually a man in Rebecca’s house.
Chapter 231
And that man’s voice was gentle and deep; it was obviously
Professor Adrian.
Madeleine writhed around on the bed excitedly.
“What a shame, I couldn’t witness the iconic scene.”
But on second thought, that didn’t feel right.
“If I were there, wouldn’t I be ruining their fun?
No, no.”
Madeleine chuckled, pulled out her phone, and texted Roderick,
exaggerating the story.
So, the message Roderick received was:
The frail Rebecca woke up to the gentle and attentive care of
Professor Shaw. The two were sweet and affectionate, sharing
a wonderful brunch together.
Roderick chuckled helplessly after reading it.
Madeleine’s imagination was really something else.
Chapter 231
On the day of Minerva’s competition, Madeleine’s period was
finally over. She felt energized and planned to go with Minerva.
“Madeleine, maybe I should just go by myself.”
“No way. This competition is a big deal. If I go with you, you
won’t be so nervous.”
“But…”
Minerva glanced at Madeleine’s outfit.
“People only wear a little black dress for the SATS. Why are you
wearing one…?”
Madeleine was wearing one of the little black dresses Mrs.
Miller had given her.
It was red, for good luck.
She raised an eyebrow. “None of your business. I’ll wear what I
want. You just focus on your dancing and don’t worry about
me.”
Minerva sighed helplessly.
Oh well, what could she do? Madeleine was her idol now.
Chapter 231
Whatever her idol did was right.
The competition started at nine in the morning. Madeleine and Minerva arrived at the venue early to get ready.
She crouched in front of Minerva, adjusting her dance costume
and constantly reminding her of things to watch out for.
She was so focused on talking that Madeleine didn’t notice a
surprised gaze fall on her from a distance.
“Madeleine, when do you think is the best time for me to go on
stage?
I’m scared.”
“What’s there to be scared of?”
Madeleine pinched Minerva’s little cheek.
“I used to worry about these things too, but experience has
shown that the performance order doesn’t affect how the
judges see your dance.”
She said, giving her a reassuring look.
“Don’t worry, I believe in you. Go meet up with your team
leader.”
Chapter 231
“Okay.”
Minerva nodded and asked, “Madeleine, where are you sitting? I
need to see you so I won’t be nervous.”
“Front row, right in the middle.”
“Did Roderick get you the tickets?”
Madeleine was a bit speechless. “I’m not someone who has to
rely on a man for everything, you know.”
For Minerva’s competition, Madeleine could have sat in the
back seats, but getting a front–row seat required some
connections.
At first, she considered asking Roderick to handle it, but seeing
how busy he was lately, Madeleine contacted the organizers
herself.
Unexpectedly, someone at the organizer’s office actually
remembered her and readily gave her a front–row guest ticket.
It’s just…
When the person asked if Madeleine was still dancing, she felt
a bit awkward and disappointed.
Chapter 231
After parting with Minerva, Madeleine headed towards the
audience seats below.
She took a couple of steps and noticed someone staring
intently at her, who then started walking towards her.
The person was a young woman with her hair in a perfect ballet
