waking up with my nemesis' baby novel

Chapter 10 " Alright , Kev , we've got a plane to catch . How about I help you pack ? It's the weekend tomorrow . And we're going to have some fun ! " " OK ! " Their packing inevitably caused a commotion . Downstairs , Kirsten frantically paced back and forth while calling Roderick . Finally , he picked up . " Hello ? Mr. Roderick ? Bad news ! I think Mrs. Livingston is preparing to run away with Mr. Kevin ! I overheard them talking about packing and their passports ! " Roderick was in the middle of a high - level executive meeting .

The moment he heard this , his hand tightened around the phone , his eyes darkening dangerously . The conference room fell into dead silence . He stormed out without a word , phone in hand . His assistant , Gerry Hammond , immediately announced that the meeting had adjourned . Chapter 10 Having worked for Roderick for years , Gerry knew that Madeleine was once again the cause of this upheaval . " Mr. Roderick , " Kirsten ventured , " should I call security to stop Mrs. Livingston and Mr. Kevin at the door ? " " No need .

" Roderick stood by the window , pinching the bridge of his nose , an aura of almost despair surrounding him . He was suppressing a torrent of grief and disappointment . " Kirsten ," he said , his voice hoarse , " let them go . " " But ... Mr. Kevin is your son ... " " I know . I'll bring him back ." After hanging up , Roderick took a deep breath to steady his rage and turned to Gerry . " Book me a flight to Phelrania . The sooner , the better . " Gerry immediately checked his phone . " Mr. Livingston , the earliest flight departs after midnight and arrives tomorrow morning .

" Chapter 10 Tomorrow morning ? Roderick let out a bitter laugh . By the time he arrived , would he be greeted by the sight of Madeleine sharing a bed with Edward ? After dropping Madeleine and Kevin off at the international terminal , the driver left . Traveling abroad alone with a child was a first for Madeleine , and it posed a huge challenge . Back in 2017 , human traffickers had been rampant , forcing parents to remain constantly vigilant in public .

She wasn't sure if things had improved by 2025 , so from the moment they entered the airport , she held Kevin's hand tightly and didn't let go . Fortunately , Kevin was exceptionally well - behaved . He stayed quietly by her side , kept his passport secure , and even occasionally corrected her when she headed in the wrong direction . Though he maintained a calm exterior , he was inwardly thrilled . Chapter 10 He sensed that Madeleine had changed somehow - in the past , she would never have taken him out like this . As he looked down at her hand holding his , he couldn't suppress a grin .

Being led by his mother felt wonderful . Madeleine's uneasiness finally began to ease after they landed in Phelrania that night . The air was comparatively chilly , so they changed into warmer clothes after getting off the plane . As Madeleine crouched to fasten the buttons on Kevin's coat , she frowned . Something felt off . " Mommy ... " Kevin gently stopped her , unfastened the decorative buttons , and instead zipped up the inner zipper . " It doesn't work like that ," he explained . Madeleine was taken aback for a second , then offered an awkward smile .

Clothing design had become far more complicated than she Chapter 10 remembered . Who would have thought the buttons were merely decorative ? " Mommy , where are we going now ? " Once properly dressed , Kevin deftly took hold of Madeleine's hand , unwilling to let go for even a moment . " I've booked a hotel . We'll stay there tonight ," she replied . She then paused , stopping in her tracks to look down at him . " But I only booked one room . Kev , are you OK with sharing a bed with me ? " Kevin was stunned . He looked up at her and blinked , his eyes wide with disbelief . " I ...

I can sleep with you , Mommy ? " Finding his question odd , she tilted her head . " Of course . Haven't you ever slept with me before ? " He mirrored her , tilting his own head . After a moment , he said quietly , " No. You said you didn't like it . " Madeleine's lips parted slightly , a fresh wave of guilt washing over her . Chapter 10 " It's OK . We can sleep together every night from now on . " " Alright ! " Madeleine had always been a top student with outstanding academic performance .

Furthermore , her dancing had often required her to travel abroad for training and competitions , which allowed her to become fluent in several languages . Thanks to this , they checked into the hotel without a hitch . After a quick meal at the hotel restaurant , they returned to their room to unwind . Despite being only four years old , Kevin was remarkably independent . He took a shower , dried his hair , and even pulled out his own bottle of children's facial cream to moisturize his skin . Then , he looked eagerly at the large bed . Perfect ! He got to share the big bed with Madeleine !

However , when he glanced up , he found her staring at him with a look of distinct disapproval .
