waking up with my nemesis' baby novel

hapter 11 The excitement in his eyes dimmed slightly . Was she having second thoughts ? " Kevin , " Madeleine said suddenly , her tone serious . Kevin's face immediately paled . " Who bought you these pajamas ? You look like a little old man , " she declared . Kevin was dumbfounded . What was she talking about ? He looked down at his dark blue silk pajamas . They were a simple , classic style without any fancy designs . They were exactly like the ones Roderick wore . Did that make Roderick an old man ? " This won't do . I'm taking you shopping tomorrow for some new clothes .

You're much too cute to be dressed so plainly . It's Chapter 11 practically a crime . " She had wanted to complain when she saw him in that stuffy little suit jacket earlier in the day - it was far too formal and not at all suitable for a child his age . " Why are you still standing there ? Aren't you cold ? Come over here . I've warmed up your side of the bed . " She patted the empty space beside her , her own heart fluttering with a mix of anticipation and excitement . She got to sleep cuddling such an adorable little boy tonight . The very thought of it made her incredibly happy .

No one had ever told her that having a child - and skipping all the pain of childbirth - could feel this wonderful . Kevin was overjoyed . His face lit up as he scrambled onto the bed toward her . It was so warm and carried a faint , pleasant fragrance . Was this what Mommy smelled like ? He had never felt happier . " Alright , Kev , time for sleep . Tomorrow , after we get up , we'll go shopping , and then you'll accompany me to a performance in Chapter 11 the evening . Sound good ? " " Yes ! " " Great . Now , time for some bedtime stories , " Madeleine offered .

Kevin stared at her , his eyes wide . Really ? Was she going to tell him stories ? Roderick was always the one who did that . Having no experience in coaxing a child to sleep , Madeleine thought for a moment and began telling him classic tales like Snow White and Little Red Riding Hood . But he listened with rapt attention , occasionally interrupting to ask , " And then what happened ? " She was surprised . " You've never heard these stories before ? " He shook his head . " Daddy has never told me any of these . " " Then what does he tell you?

" Thinking for a while , Kevin answered , " Lately ? ' Einstein's Chapter 11 Autobiography " . " Madeleine was rendered speechless . The world had truly gone mad . Roderick had been the most rebellious and unruly child she knew . How , during the years she couldn't remember , had he morphed into such a serious figure ? Kevin was just a little boy . Why did he need to know about Einstein's life ? This was the age for him to be filled with fairy tales ! " Kev , " she promised , " if you like the stories I tell , I'll tell you one every single day from now on . How does that sound ?

" Kevin was on the verge of tears . This felt like a dream - a wonderful , happy dream . Why else would Madeleine suddenly be so kind to him ? He fought back the tears and nodded vigorously . After she finished another story , they both yawned , nestling close to each other before drifting into a deep , sound sleep . Chapter 11 Even as he fell asleep , Kevin kept a tight grip on Madeleine's finger , afraid that if he let go , he would wake up and find it all had been a dream . At 5:30 a.m. in Phelrania . The plane touched down . Roderick and Gerry switched on their phones simultaneously .

A bank notification about his card being used abroad immediately popped up on Roderick's screen , which he forwarded to Gerry . Within five minutes , Gerry had traced the transaction to a downtown hotel . In a hotel ... With each step , Roderick's footsteps grew heavier , a bitterness so profound it threatened to suffocate him . Madeleine came all this way just for Edward . " How many rooms did she book ? " " One ... " Before Gerry could finish speaking , Roderick halted abruptly , his eyes burning with fury . Chapter 11 Only one room ? Where was Kevin supposed to be ?

Was Madeleine so shameless that she would bring Kevin with her while she was doing it with Edward ? He knew her . She'd probably left Kevin waiting outside the door ! " Madeleine , how could you ? How could you be so heartless ? " He cursed under his breath , his eyes reddening . He knew she didn't love him , but to treat Kevin with such cruelty ... Kevin had never done anything to deserve this . Following behind , Gerry felt a lump form in his own throat , his eyes distressed as he watched Roderick's rigid back . He didn't understand . Roderick was exceptional in every way .

Why was his affection fixated solely on Madeleine ? Was it merely because they were childhood sweethearts ? Yet , she had shattered his heart so ruthlessly ... " To the hotel , " Roderick commanded . " OK . " Gerry nodded and quickly retrieved the car from the airport , a Chapter 11 sense of unease growing inside him . He was now driving Roderick to catch Madeleine in the act . Now, only one thought filled his mind - would he be silenced afterwards ? He could only hope the impending confrontation wouldn't be too ugly .
