The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance

Chapter 117

The video showcased a slice of life from a recent family event at the local community center.

Keen, who had just snagged first place in the games, was surrounded by a throng of young admirers. His face radiated with pride and a touch of smugness. One of the kids asked, "Keen, were those your parents who came to watch the games?"

Keen hesitated for a moment before nodding.

The circle of kids around him erupted in envious murmurs.

"Keen, your dad is so cool and charismatic! He's amazing at games!"

"Yeah, and your mom is really pretty and super sweet!"

These compliments seemed to elevate Keen even higher, and he tilted his chin up, basking in the admiration.

Another kid blurted out, "Wait, Keen-you never talk about your mom. We kinda thought you didn't have one. Is she like... a doctor or something?

Keen replied with obvious pride, "My mom's a violinist. She's incredible! She's got a concert tour coming up in a few months."
