waking up with my nemesis' baby novel

Chapter 133 Madeleine couldn't help but roll her eyes . In the past , she would have thought Ricki was definitely teasing her , deliberately trying to annoy her . Now that she knew he was saying these things sincerely because he liked her , Madeleine felt flustered and embarrassed , not knowing what to do for a moment . No , who likes someone using such a cheap way to show it " Don't give me that . " She pushed against his chest , but he only held her tighter . " Come on , tell me . What exactly did you say to Nanette ?

" Roderick chuckled , his fingers tracing her skin through the thin fabric of her shirt , making Madeleine shiver . " You really want to know? " Madeleine shrank back a little and nodded . Roderick smiled . " I had Mariah dig up her entire family history Chapter 133 and told her that if she didn't write it , what's waiting for her would be a lot worse than just jail time and paying damages . " " You threatened her ? That's illegal ... " " It's called a reasonable negotiation. " , Roderick said nonchalantly , twirling a strand of her hair around his finger .

" Besides , so what if it is illegal ? " For Madeleine , he would risk anything . Roderick chuckled again . " I'm kidding . We're law - abiding citizens . For those slaps you gave her , we'll pay the medical bills . How much was it again ? " He picked up his phone and glanced at the message from Mariah . " Seventy - six fifty - two . " Madeleine almost choked on her own spit and couldn't help but burst out laughing . Perfect . That was so Ricki .

Chapter 133 Madeleine grinned , then immediately dug her own grave with her next words : " Since you helped me so much , shouldn't I thank you properly ? " At her words , she saw Roderick's eyes land on her , filled with surprise and a hint of unreadable desire . Madeleine , who had been a little chilly with her bare legs and was wrapped in a blanket on the sofa , now felt the temperature rising , her whole body growing hot . Just being enveloped by his gaze , she started to feel uncomfortable all over , shifting her body uneasily . " Why are you looking at me like that ?

" Madeleine's voice was timid , her nervousness obvious . Roderick mischievously leaned in closer , his eyes looking down at her , forcing her to tilt her head up slightly . " What do you think ? " He raised an eyebrow and smiled . " Didn't you say you wanted to thank me ? I'm waiting ." Madeleine shrank back , not daring to meet his gaze . Chapter 133 She felt that Roderick looked a little scary right now , that she'd be devoured if their eyes met . " I just haven't figured out how to thank you yet ... How about I buy you a gift ?

I remember you really liked those figurines when you were a kid , right ? " As Madeleine spoke , she squirmed , trying to get out of Roderick's arms . But that squirming only made things worse . Roderick's gaze on her deepened , and several veins popped out on his neck . " Madeleine , don't move . " The hoarse voice came , and Madeleine immediately froze as if under a spell , not daring to move . She sat like a statue , her muscles tense , truly not moving at all . Roderick was amused by her , looking speechless . " Go ahead and move . " Madeleine wanted to cry but had no tears .

Chapter 133 Should she move or not ? Her whole body was so tense it was uncomfortable . Seeing her like this , Roderick felt a little bad . After all , she was missing her memories of the last few years . What if he scared her by pushing her forward like this ? Take it slow , step by step . Roderick was just about to let her go , about to tell Madeleine to get off him . The person on him , for some reason , reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck . Roderick looked astonished . What's gotten into her ? Madeleine was so nervous she was about to explode .

She didn't dare look Roderick in the eye , so she looked down , shyly watching his lips . She wasn't an idiot ; of course she could hear the subtext in what Roderick was saying to her . Her heart was beating so fast it felt like it would leap out of her Chapter 133 chest , and her fingertips were trembling slightly . Madeleine held her breath , finally gathered her courage , leaned up , and gently pressed her lips to Roderick's . His lips were warmer than she had imagined , with a faint scent of coffee . Madeleine had made the coffee for him . They were Ethiopian beans from Bradley .

When she was grinding them , she'd glanced at the description , which mentioned flavors of magnolia , citrus , pineapple , and mango . After brewing it , Madeleine had taken a sip herself . It was bitter and astringent ; she couldn't really taste those flavors . But now , from Roderick's mouth , she thought she could taste them . That hint of sweet floral and fruity aroma , as if laced with alcohol , made her feel intoxicated , lost .
