With that thought, Madeleine squatted down, cupped her chin
with one hand, and asked Kevin.
“Maddie, are you and Aunt Rebecca good friends?”
“Yeah.”
Kevin nodded, “Aunt Rebecca is Dad’s good friend. Dad says
she’s someone you can trust.”
Hiss…
Madeleine narrowed her eyes, thought for a moment, and asked
again, “Then what about Aunt Rebecca’s relationship with
Mommy?”
“Uh?”
The little guy was stumped.
Her relationship with Mommy?
Why is she asking me?
Chapter 80
He was just a kid, after all. Since she asked, he answered
obediently:
“Not good.”
Madeleine: Just as I thought.
Kevin continued, “Aunt Rebecca and Mommy both hate each
other. Dad said you two… your star signs don’t match or
something.”
“Our star signs don’t match.”
Madeleine’s lips twitched.
“Mommy, don’t be mad.”
Kevin suddenly came over and took Madeleine’s hand, “I like
Aunt Rebecca, but I love Mommy the most. No matter what
Mommy becomes, I’ll always love you the most.”
adeleine was amused and tapped the little guy’s nose with
her index finger.
“Kev, who taught you that? You’re so young and you already
know how to say such sweet things.”
“Daddy!
Chapter 80
Daddy said it. He loves Mommy no matter what she becomes.”
Madeleine froze.
Roderick?
He actually thinks that way…?
He just said that I’ve always been Madeleine, that I’ve never changed. That means, even though I was so wicked for the past
eight years, he could still put up with it.
Isn’t he a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle!
Madeleine’s train of thought jumped so fast it amused her. She
chuckled, and then it hit her–she realized something.
Roderick likes her.
nd he likes her a lot.
In that instant, Madeleine’s heart seemed to skip half a beat.
She subconsciously turned her head, her gaze passing through
the several Welcoming Pine Trees in the courtyard, then
through the carved glass window, landing on Roderick.
As if by telepathy, Roderick, who had been focused on his
conversation, suddenly glanced over.
Chapter 80
Their eyes met, and a hint of a smile appeared in Roderick’s.
Madeleine quickly looked away, but it was like a stone tossed
into a calm lake, the ripples spreading out layer by layer, as if
plucking at her heartstrings.
Yes, Roderick likes her. She finally realized it.
But that can’t be right.
Roderick, it’s Roderick!
How could he possibly like her?
Roderick had seen her at her most embarrassing, her ugliest,
her worst.
The two of them bickered the moment they met, never a kind
word passing between their lips.
For Roderick to like her… uh, well, he has good taste!
It only took Madeleine 0.01 seconds to accept this fact. After
all, for the past eighteen years, she had always thought
everyone loved her.
What about her?
Chapter 80
Does she like Roderick?
Madeleine was stumped by her own question, turning her head
to sigh at the chubby Koi Carp in the pond.
“Mommy, why are you sighing?”
“Hmm… I feel a little sorry for the Koi Carp.”
“Sorry for them?”
“Don’t you think they look hungry?”
Kevin glanced at the chubby fish again and nodded.
Yep, if Mommy said they’re hungry, they must be hungry.
He ran over to get the fish food. “Mommy, here you go.”
Madeleine took it with a smile, tossing the food into the pond
listlessly.
As she tossed, she counted in her head-
Loves Roderick?
Loves Roderick not.
