Chapter 241
Kevin was quiet for a moment, then said something shocking.
“I know. It’s because you two are going to date.”
“Pfft…”
Madeleine couldn’t hold it in. She stared at Kevin, then looked
up at Roderick.
What the hell? Did Roderick teach him that?
!
“Kev, you know what dating is?
Who taught you that?”
Kevin looked at her helplessly, with an expression that said,
“Mom, you’re so behind the times.”
“Mommy, our kindergarten teachers teach us this stuff. Some
kids even asked how we were born, and the teacher showed us
an educational video.”

“Oh…”
Madeleine finally understood.
Roderick nodded too. “Kids‘ education is different from when
we were young, especially sex ed. It’s starting much earlier
now.”
“So that’s how it is.”
Madeleine nodded, pleased. “That’s a good thing. Kids these days are smart and see so much online. It’s good for them to
learn the real facts.”
Kevin listened, only half–understanding, but one thought
crossed his mind.
Mommy said kids these days are smart.
Hehe, Mommy praised him for being smart.
During the two–hour drive, Madeleine and Kevin both took a nap
in the car.
Roderick sat beside them, miserably working on files for two
hours.

It was the company’s busiest time, and that guy Gerry had
taken time off. Was it easy for him to be with his wife and son?
Roderick sighed to himself, but one look at his wife and son
made all the exhaustion disappear.
“We’re here, Maddie?
Kevin.”
He gently woke the mother and son, pointing out the window.
“Look, we’ve arrived.”
Turning to look at the scenery outside, the big one and the little
one both widened their eyes and opened their mouths.
“Wow!”
“This is so beautiful.”
It was late autumn, and the mountain was covered in maple
trees, a sea of red everywhere.
Occasionally, you could see a small patch of bright red azaleas mixed in with the maples, like leaping flames, dazzling and
brilliant.

It was soaked in deep and light shades of red, yellow, and
orange, as if God had knocked over his paint palette, creating a
majestic and passionate beauty.
Madeleine opened the car door and got out, holding her son.
The cold, fresh air hit her face, refreshing her to the core, as if
sweeping away all the stale city air built up in her chest.
“It’s so beautiful.”
Madeleine looked around and couldn’t help but sigh in
admiration.
Closing her eyes, she could hear the crisp calls of unknown
birds occasionally flitting through the woods.
Kevin copied his mom, looking around before closing his eyes
and taking a deep breath.
Roderick watched their nearly identical expressions of surprise, a satisfied smile on his lips. The fatigue from his work seemed
to vanish in that moment.
“Let’s go. The private mountain lodge is over there.”
The mountain path was rough, so Roderick took Kevin from

Madeleine, holding him with one arm and taking Madeleine’s
hand with the other.
After a short path, they arrived in front of the private mountain
lodge.
Madeleine looked at it and couldn’t help but be amazed.
“This is the ‘little courtyard‘ Professor Shaw was talking about?”
The estate before them was about the size of two football
fields, restored in a–classic, elegant style with the feel of a
courtyard estate, blending seamlessly with the surrounding
nature.
A middle–aged man who looked like a butler came out from
inside.
“You must be Mr. and Mrs. Livingston?”
“Yes.”
“Mr. Shaw was expecting you. I’ll show you in. I hear you have a few friends joining you?”
Madeleine nodded, “Yes, they’re still on their way.”
The butler smiled and said, “The rooms are all ready. Please
