“Don’t move.”
Madeleine grumbled softly.
Her whole body was practically pressed against his chest, and it felt like they could feel each other’s staggered heartbeats through their T–shirts.
“There!”
As if she had just completed a masterpiece, Madeleine stepped
back for a look before nodding in satisfaction.
“You know, it actually suits you. You should dress more casually
at home. Ugh, I don’t even want to start on you, your wardrobe
is so bland.”
Madeleine went back to take Kevin’s hand, complaining, “How
did your taste get so bad when you grew up?”
Then she realized she shouldn’t have said that.
“No, no, you married me, which means your taste is still pretty
good.”
Chapter 57
Roderick: …
Just as they were about to head inside, the young girl who sold them the headbands came jogging over, holding a photograph.
“Excuse me, you two.”
The girl handed over the photo with a smile. “I saw you two looking so happy with the headbands, so I took a picture. Would
it be okay if I display it at my stall?”
Madeleine looked down and saw that the candid shot had
perfectly captured the moment she was putting the headband
on Roderick.
They looked so peaceful and happy together.
Even Madeleine herself was starting to ship them.
“Wow, this is such a great picture! Could I have an extra copy?”
“Of course!”
The girl gave the photo to Madeleine, and after getting their
permission, she smiled even more brightly.
A picture of such a handsome man and beautiful woman would
be like an advertisement, sure to attract plenty of customers.
Chapter 57
Madeleine admired the photo, holding it up as she walked.
Watching her cheerful expression, Roderick couldn’t help but
ask, “You really like that picture?”
“I do. Don’t you?”
Roderick didn’t say anything.
He liked it. Of course he did. In the photo, Madeleine was
smiling beautifully, and the emotion in her eyes looked so much
like love.
Without looking up, Madeleine gently tapped the photo of
herself, her voice full of delight, “Look at this angle, this lighting,
I look so good!
My skin looks so clear, my features are sharp, and even every
strand of my hair is glowing!”
Roderick: “…
Whatever, it’s like winking at a blind man.
At the amusement park, you obviously have to go on the rides,
but Kevin was too young for many of them.
“Oh, this roller coaster is okay! It’s based on height, and Kev is

just tall enough!”
Kevin was tall for his age, a head above the other kids, just
meeting the requirement.
Madeleine turned to glance at Roderick, whose face had
already paled slightly, and tutted, “I’ll go with my son. You
should just wait down here. You can’t handle it.”
You.
Can’t.
Handle it.
Those three words hit Roderick’s heart like a sledgehammer.
His eyelid twitched hard twice.
“Who says I can’t?”
Roderick suddenly snapped, his voice rising.
The parents walking by heard him and stared in surprise,
instinctively covering their daughters‘ ears.
Roderick’s ears instantly turned a little red.
Chapter 57
He lowered his voice and said irritably, “I can do it.”
“Are you sure?”
Madeleine pointed to the roller coaster roaring overhead,
accompanied by piercing screams. It looked intense.
“I’m sure.”
Roderick nodded. It was his male pride talking.
Kevin tugged on Madeleine’s sleeve.

“Mommy, Daddy wants to ride the roller coaster too, so let’s all
go together.”
“Uh, okay.”
Madeleine nodded, looking at Roderick strangely.
Did this guy get over his fear of heights after growing up?
Well, it’s not impossible. He’s an adult now, after all. People
have to grow up.
Since they had bought VIP tickets in advance, they didn’t have
to wait in line and went through the priority entrance.
