waking up with my nemesis' baby novel

Roderick's gaze never left Madeleine as he nodded slightly . " Thank you , Mrs. Miller . " Rebecca suddenly mentioned she had some business to discuss with Roderick , and the two of them went to the living room . Taking this opportunity , Mrs. Miller wanted to chat a bit more with Madeleine . " Shall we go sit for a bit ? " " Okay ." Madeleine nodded , an inexplicable nervousness starting to build inside her . She was still shaken by their last conversation with Mrs. Miller ; in her mind , the old Mrs.

Miller had always tried to set her up with Edward for no reason , like a hand pushing her onto that very track . And the question she had asked last time had inadvertently woken Mrs. Miller up . Chapter 139 So , had Mrs. Miller awakened too ? This question had been swirling in Madeleine's mind for a long time . If that was the case , she needed to confirm whether Mrs. Miller was suffering from any side effects . She followed Mrs. Miller to the tea room and found that the tea snacks on the table had been replaced with soft cake and nuts .

Outside the window , the setting sun filtered through the sheer curtains , casting mottled patterns of light and shadow between them . Mrs. Miller poured her a cup of herbal tea and suddenly said , " Maddie , about last time ... I need to apologize to you. " Madeleine's heart skipped a beat , and she almost dropped her teacup . " It was like I was possessed back then . " Mrs. Miller shook her head with a wry smile . " I always felt that you and that boy , Edward , were a match made in heaven . Now that I think about it , it's just ... " She sighed and shook her head .

Chapter 139 " I'd never wondered why I thought that way before . But when you asked me last time , it hit me . Right , why did I want you to be with Edward ? " Madeleine's hand tightened around her cup . " Mrs. Miller , did you know Edward before ? " " Well ... not really ' knew ' him . I met Edward once in Tuscany , years ago. He was just a poor student then . He was out of money and people were giving him trouble , so I stepped in and helped him . " Madeleine understood . Another NPC who bails out the male lead ... So Mrs.

Miller probably wasn't too affected by the narrative control because her involvement with Edward wasn't that deep . " Sigh , I don't know what it was . Maybe I used to think that Edward was a nice boy , and that there was nothing wrong with you liking him and pursuing love , but now ... " Mrs. Miller's lips curved into a slight smile . " Maddie , who is it that you really like ? " Chapter 139 Pulled from her thoughts , Madeleine's face immediately turned red . " I , uh , well , I'll just have some tea . " Seeing her stammer and falter , Mrs.

Miller , with all her experience , understood immediately . She smiled and nodded . " I only married Roderick's father the year before last , so I don't know much about your past , but I heard from him that you two were very much in love . I don't know why things turned out the way they did , but at least things are good now ." Mrs. Miller patted Madeleine's hand . " I can tell , Roderick really cares about you ." Madeleine's heart warmed . " He does . " Roderick had never been stingy or tried to hide his love for her . ...

In the living room , Roderick was talking business with Rebecca when he seemed to sense something and zoned out for a Chapter 139 moment . Rebecca waved her hand in front of his face . " What's with you ? " " Thinking about my wife . " Rebecca : ... Roderick was never one to hide things from her and Bradley ; he just said whatever came to mind . If he said he was thinking about his wife , he really meant it . The problem was , they'd only been apart for less than two minutes ! Rebecca rolled her eyes to the heavens and took a deep breath . " I seriously can't with you .

Let's get back to business ! The group's stock dropped the other day because of that news about Nanette , right ? And the mole in the company is stirring up trouble again . When are we finally going to catch them ? I can't take it anymore , I've already lost a lot of money . " " Soon . " Chapter 139 Roderick narrowed his eyes . " When does the bidding for the Northgate Tech Park project start ? " " The end of this month . " Roderick nodded . " Good . Then we'll close the net at the end of the month .

" Dinner was specially prepared at home by a State Banquet chef , and Madeleine's eyes were dazzled by the table of exquisite dishes . She sat beside Roderick , and seeing that everyone else was just talking and not touching their forks , she had to sit still as well . Owen was still talking about what happened last time , expressing his gratitude for Rebecca and Bradley's help .
