waking up with my nemesis' baby novel

" Even if you didn't see it , you should've called home . Kirsten knows . " With that , Madeleine took out her phone . " I can't believe we aren't friends on WhatsApp . Come on . Let's friend each other . " Roderick didn't take out his phone . He took her phone and moved his account out of the blocklist . Madeleine was reduced to silence . How embarrassing . It turned out she'd blocked his account . The awkwardness was such that Madeleine had to change the subject . " I'm taking Kev out to shop for clothes later . We're watching the performance at the theater tonight . Will you join us ?

" Before Roderick could answer , she said with a frown , " No , you can't come ." Chapter 14 Roderick pulled a long face . " Why not ? Are you afraid I'll destroy your date with Edward? " " What does it have to do with Edward ? Ricki , what's wrong with you? The tickets have sold out . " She showed it to him on her phone . " I waited to grab tickets as soon as I learned the news . Luckily , I made it . But the seats are in the back . I wonder if we can see the performance clearly . " Her disappointment didn't seem fake . After a moment of contemplation , Roderick dialed a number .

He spoke the foreign language fluently . His pronunciation was good . Madeleine listened carefully and understood that he was asking the person on the other end of the line to get three VIP tickets to Annabelle's performance . Upon hearing an affirmative reply , Roderick expressed his gratitude and hung up. When he raised his head , Madeleine was looking at him with admiration . Chapter 14 " Ricki , don't tell me you've obtained VIP tickets to Annabelle's performance ? " Roderick put away his phone and turned to her nonchalantly . What was the big deal ?

She knew how wealthy and well- connected he was now . But her eyes were bright with expectations . Not having the heart to undermine her enthusiasm , he nodded . " Yippee ! " Madeleine jumped and hugged him ecstatically . " Awesome , Ricki ! Next time your dad kicks your ass , tell him you're my dude . I'll take the beating for you . " What ? Why did he feel this woman wasn't his wife but his buddy ? Roderick placed his hands on the shoulders of Madeleine , who was jumping like a spring , and asked , " Did you ... really lose your memory ? " At first , Roderick didn't believe a word of it .

Everyone knew how Madeleine had tormented him and the Chapter 14 people around her . But her actions in the past two days couldn't have been a pretense . There was still no affection for him in her eyes . But the disgust was gone . At least , she didn't hate him anymore . Now , she was as perky and exuberant as when she was a teenager . Roderick had to accept it . She might really have suffered memory loss . " Look at me . " Madeleine stared at him . " Look me in the eye . Does it look like I'm lying ? " For crying out loud ! How she was being wronged !

Those horrible things were the doing of the twenty - something Madeleine . It had nothing to do with the 18 - year - old Madeleine . Roderick looked her in the eye for a moment before saying , " I'll take you to the hospital for a check - up when we get back ." No one lost their memory for no reason . Something must've caused it . Chapter 14 Madeleine agreed . What if she wasn't possessed but was sick ? A check - up was just in case . Before they left the room , Roderick made a phone call on the balcony . The line was connected soon . A soft female voice answered . " Mr. Livingston ?

You're calling me so early . What's up ? " Roderick looked at his watch and apologized , " Sorry , Dr. Clark . I forgot it's only 7 a.m. at home . " " You're abroad ? On a business trip ? Do you want me to take care of Kev ? " " No need . Kev is with me . I'm calling to keep you posted about him . " Nanette Clark was a psychiatrist . She'd been treating Kevin for years . Roderick told her what had happened in the morning . When he mentioned how calm Kevin was in his mom's arms , Nanette interrupted him . Chapter 14 " You mean Mrs. Livingston ? " " Yes . " Nanette was confused .

" Wasn't she ... distant to Kev ? " " That's what I was gonna ask you about . " Roderick massaged his forehead . After a moment of contemplation , he asked , " Dr. Clark , can one's personality change dramatically? " Nanette was smart enough to know he was referring to Madeleine . She figured Madeleine's personality must've changed a lot lately, and Roderick and Kevin didn't know what to do with it . " Sure , " Nanette replied tenderly , " such as patients with multiple personality disorder or schizophrenia . Mr. Livingston , if Mrs.

Livingston has displayed related symptoms , I advise you to have her treated at the Psychiatry Department as soon as possible . " Roderick's face darkened . Then , Madeleine's voice came from behind him . " What the hell ? I'm mentally ill ? " Chapter 14 Madeleine didn't mean to eavesdrop . She just wanted to know how much longer the call was gonna take .
