PopularNovelThe dishes Nina arranged were a big hit, making her the talk of the school.
In the eyes of the other parents, she becknown as the mom who wasn't afraid to spend money. She had stolen Madison's spotlight, and Madison couldn't let it go.
In the afternoon, since Orion was still feeling uncomfortable from his injury, Nina took him hafter lunch, excusing them from the rest of the field day.

Madison also sent her a message, emphasizing that all the moms were in the group, and it was useful for discussing their children's education. Nina didn't accept the invitation. She felt that the parent group chat didn't seem to offer much value.
After Orion fell asleep, Nina went downstairs to call Nash, but all she got was a busy signal. Thinking back over everything that had happened at the field day, she felt increasingly uneasy, a suppressed anger building up inside her that she couldn't quite release. Just then, her phone dinged with a voice call from Madison. Nina didn't have much patience for the woman. Although she considered declining the call, curiosity got the better of her, and she picked up.
"Orion's mom, why haven't you joined the group?" "Oh, that. I just didn't feel like joining. Is that a problem? If there's nothing else, I'm quite busy," Nina replied, not wanting to waste time.
On the other end, Madison quickly spoke up, eager to keep her on the line. After a few moments of hesitation, she sighed and said, "It's like this. I've arranged to meet with a few of the other moms at the mall downtown. It's rare that we get a break from the kids, so we're treating ourselves to a day off." "I'm not interested, but you all have fun." "Con, Orion's mom! I know how you feel. You think there's no need to form relationships in kindergarten, right? But think about it-our kids are in kindergarten now, but eventually, they'll move on to elementary school and middle school. You never know, these might be the skids they'll grow up with." Madison was clearly trying to persuade her to calong. Nina chuckled. "Fine, fine. If it's just a day out, where are we meeting? I'll come." "Great! We're meeting at the entrance of Bamboo Café on the pedestrian street downtown. See you there!" As soon as Madison finished, Nina ended the call. She now regretted attending the field day at all. Not only had her son gotten hurt, but she had also gotten tangled up with this troubleswoman.
When Nina arrived at Bamboo Café, she glanced around but didn't see any familiar faces. After a moment of thought, she decided to head inside.
The café was peaceful, with soft music playing that felt soothing. Just as she sat down, a bearded man approached her with a smile and asked, "Excuse me, ma'am. Are you Orion's mom?" Nina nodded.
The man looked relieved and continued, "I've been looking for you.
The others have already left and askedto wait here for you Ma'am, please cwith me. If we're any later, we'll miss it" "The others?" Nina felt her annoyance spike. What was Madison playing at? Inviting her out only to leave her behind? Was this schildish attempt to embarrass her? "Who told you to wait here for me?" Nina asked.

She wanted to confirm if it was Madison. If it was, then then maybe Madison wasn't as bad as she seemed. m
The bearded man handed her his phone. "Here my wife sent a message. She's e's one of the moms in your group your group. She said that since you finally joined their group, she didn't want you to feel left out if you arrived and didn't see them. So she askedto wait for you here." As expected, Nina's instincts were right. Madison was as childish as she had suspected.
Without overthinking it, Nina got into the car with the bearded man.
On the way, Nash finally replied to her message, letting her know he was dealing with a tricky business issue and would probably be working all night.
