Waking up with my nemesis baby novel Chapter 235

This kid… where did he learn to be such a smooth talker at his

age?

He didn’t remember being like that when he was little.

Roderick had booked the restaurant, a top–tier luxury place

perfect for a family dinner.

Of course, Harold and Clarissa had to be invited; they were

Minerva’s aunt and uncle.

Somehow, Owen found out. He called and said he wanted to

come over too.

When Madeleine found out, she made a point to talk to the

head chef and switch out a few dishes for ones suitable for a

pregnant woman.

The whole family was gathered together around a large table.

“Come on, let’s all raise our glasses and toast to our little Mina

for winning the championship!”

Chapter 235

Harold stood up. After he spoke, his eyes reddened without him

realizing it, and he instinctively turned to look at Madeleine, who

was sitting nearby.

Madeleine was puzzled by his stare.

“What’s wrong, Dad?

Why are you looking at me like that?”

“I was just thinking how fast time flies. I still remember when

you were little and won awards, I threw banquets to celebrate

for you, too.”

As he spoke, Harold raised a hand and wiped the corners of his

moist eyes with the back of it.

Hearing this made Madeleine’s heart ache a little, too.

Yeah, time really flies.

Harold was a sensitive and sentimental man, but Owen was the

complete opposite.

He clicked his tongue and raised his glass to clink with

Harold’s.

“Harold, look at you. Why are you saying such sad things on a

Chapter 235

happy day like this?”

“So what if time flies? Isn’t it great that we’re surrounded by our

children and grandchildren?”

He finished speaking, shook his head, and muttered under his

breath.

“You’re just being dramatic.”

Harold laughed when he heard that.

“Yeah, let’s not talk about that stuff.”

He smiled, shook his head, and downed the wine in his glass.

“Let’s just be happy.”

The atmosphere became lively again. The dishes, exquisite and

delicious, were served one after another, and everyone was

laughing constantly.

Owen and Madeleine’s parents would occasionally tell funny

stories about the young couple’s childhood, making Minerva

giggle while clutching her stomach.

Madeleine put her hand on her forehead, wishing she could

cover her son Kevin’s ears right now.

Chapter 235

How embarrassing. How was she, as his mom, supposed to

keep any respect in front of her son after this?

While they were eating, Madeleine’s phone rang.

She picked it up and looked at it, a little surprised.

“Kev, your kindergarten is having an art festival?”

“Yeah.”

Kevin nodded, looked up, and said, “Mommy, I’m going to play

the piano for the art festival.”

Madeleine’s mouth fell open in surprise when she heard that.

It wasn’t just her; everyone else at the table looked over in

surprise.

“Kev, did you volunteer to perform?”

“Maddie, when is it? Can Grandma come and watch?”

“Grandpa just bought a new camera. I’ll take pictures of you

then, okay?”

Everyone was talking at once, and Kevin didn’t know who to

answer.

Chapter 235

So he didn’t answer anyone and just turned to look at

Madeleine.

“Mommy, can you come to the kindergarten for the art festival?”

The two of them, one big and one small, locked eyes.

Madeleine’s eyes, twinkling like stars, were quivering.

Kevin… he actually asked for something on his own.

And it was an earnest request, full of hope.

This is wonderful…

Madeleine felt a sting in her nose.

Thinking about how the little guy used to be so sensitive,

suppressing his needs and too scared to say what he really felt,

made Madeleine’s heart ache.

She took a deep breath, fighting back her emotions and

nodded.

“Of course, Kev. How could Mommy miss your event?”

Kevin’s eyes grew even brighter.

Chapter 235

Madeleine stroked her son’s little cheek and smiled happily.

The little guy turned his head to look at Roderick, who didn’t

wait to be asked.

“Yeah, I’ll go with Mom.”

“That’s great.”

When Kevin got happy, his little face flushed, looking incredibly
