The dishes Nina arranged were a big hit, making her the talk of the school.

In the eyes of the other parents, she became known 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 home after lunch, excusing them from the rest of the field day.

Not long after they got home, Nina received an invitation from Madison to join the class parent group chat. 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."
