waking up with my nemesis' baby novel

Confusion was plain in his bleary eyes. Who was holding him ? Mommy ? How was it possible ? Kevin's eyes widened , and he was certain . It was Mommy . And Daddy was with him , too . " Mommy ! " He reached out and wrapped his arms around Madeleine's neck tightly . Madeleine was moved , her heart throbbing . How much was he afraid of her leaving ? " Everything is OK , Kev . " She comforted Kevin for a few more minutes and asked Roderick to get some tissues to wipe the boy's sweat . " Daddy , why are you here ? " Madeleine and Kevin looked at Roderick simultaneously .

Chapter 13 " Ricki , did you follow me ? " Madeleine approached him with wide eyes . " Are you fond of such sickening games now ? " Roderick's face clouded . He thought Madeleine was making an excuse to fight with him again . Out of the blue , she giggled , " Did you secretly read my comic books again ? Were you imitating the obsessive , controlling CEO ? " Dumbfounded , Roderick glowered at her . " Madeleine , did you just say I read your comic books ? Secretly ? I dare you to say that again ! " It was over ten years ago . They were in junior high . Madeleine was a comic book groupie .

Comic books were prohibited by the school and parents . Every time she finished reading one , she put it in Roderick's drawer . Then , the school conducted an ambush inspection . As a result , Roderick had to do a self - inspection in front of the class, holding a pile of comic books , deeply humiliated . Afterward , he ignored Madeleine for a week . Chapter 13 " Fine . You didn't . " Just as before , he was still quick to anger . Without hesitation , Madeleine tousled his hair with one hand . " Now , now , don't be upset . Say , how come you've grown up so much ?

" Madeleine missed out on the subtle changes in Roderick's expression . She hadn't touched his head in many years . " Wait . How did you come in ? " " The receptionist gave me a key card . " Then , Roderick added , " We're married . It's normal that the receptionist gave me a spare key card . " Madeleine opened her mouth and nodded awkwardly . She'd forgotten again that they were married . " Daddy , Mommy , I'm sleepy . " Kevin yawned . He could hardly keep his eyes open . Madeleine checked the time . It wasn't 7 a.m. yet . After a yawn , she lay down , holding Kevin in her arms .

Chapter 13 " Let's sleep for a bit longer . We can get up at 9. " Since Roderick was there , she moved back a little in bed . " Are you sleepy ? Will you take a nap? " Roderick's pupils contracted a little . This felt surreal . He couldn't even remember the last time they shared a bed . After merely a hesitation of three seconds , Roderick took off his jacket and lay beside his wife and son . If this were a dream , he'd like it to never end . At least , Madeleine's mind was sound now . The three of them breathed evenly and fell asleep soon . Downstairs , Gerry waited anxiously in the lobby .

This didn't feel right . Why was it taking so long ? Was his boss pinned to the floor by Madeleine's lover ? *** At 9 a.m. , the alarm clock went off . Despite her sleepiness , Madeleine got up . When she turned her head , she found that Chapter 13 Roderick was gone . " Eh ? Was it a dream ? " Where was Roderick ? She scratched her head . When she got dressed , Roderick returned , followed by a waiter with a cart . He'd gone to order breakfast for them . Madeleine looked at him , her eyes sparkling . " Ricki , when did you become so thoughtful ? This is sweet .

You took my lunch on a spring tour in primary school . I forgive you . " Roderick was surprised to hear this . " You have a long memory . You even remember the things in primary school ? " " Of course . Even the things in kindergarten are vivid in my mind . " Roderick's eyes flickered . " Do you remember ? After the SAT , I said to you that ... " " Mommy ! " Chapter 13 Kevin's voice came from the bathroom , interrupting their conversation . Madeleine hurried to check on him . It turned out the sink was too tall for him . She had to pick him up to wash his face .

The mixed emotions in Roderick's eyes were replaced by a calm look . Never mind . Why bother asking ? Even if she remembered how he'd declared his love for her , so what ? She still wouldn't accept him . Edward , the poor kid she'd finally supported , was the man she wanted . After breakfast , Roderick finally asked why Madeleine had brought Kevin abroad . " Didn't you see the note I left for you ? " Madeleine was confused . After thinking about it , she asked , " Did you fly here without going home first ?

" Before their departure , Madeleine figured Roderick deserved to know their whereabouts . But when she tried to tell him on the phone , she realized she didn't have his WhatsApp account . Chapter 13 She thought about it and left him a note , saying she was taking Kevin to watch Annabelle's swan song .
