waking up with my nemesis' baby novel

He deliberately raised an eyebrow and nodded . " Yeah . I mean , promising young guys like me are hard to find . " Madeleine punched his shoulder in annoyance . " You have a girlfriend ! " " Of course , that's what I told them . But those heiresses didn't care . They said you're just a girlfriend , not a wife . " Madeleine's eyes instantly reddened . Roderick , who had been teasing her , immediately panicked and cupped her face in his hands . " Hey ... Kev , don't cry . I was just kidding . Who cares about those heiresses ? What do I care if they hit on me ?

You know I only have eyes for you . " Madeleine sniffled . After hesitating for three seconds , she said , " Ricki , Quelcia is influenced by the North Atlantic Current all year round . It rains a lot in the fall , and the average temperature in spring is only ten Chapter 142 degrees , which is a bit cold . You can't wear dresses . " As she spoke , her nose started running , and Madeleine gave a couple more sniffs . " Right now it's August , the temperature is just right , and the days are long .

There are more than ten hours of daylight every day , and the sun doesn't set until after ten at night ... " This whole speech left Roderick completely baffled . Was Madeleine ... doing a geography quiz ? " So , Roderick , will you marry me in Quelcia before fall comes ? " In the days after they returned from the family estate , Roderick felt that the way Madeleine looked at him was a little off . One moment , her eyes were full of love ; the next , they were filled with deep resentment . He had her come to his office for lunch during work , and Roderick just couldn't hold it in anymore .

" Is something on your mind lately? " Madeleine bit the tip of her fork and blinked a couple of times . " No , what could possibly be on my mind ? " Chapter 142 Roderick hesitated . " Did a coworker upset you ? " " My coworkers are fine . " " Then ... did I do something to make you unhappy ? " Madeleine gave him a sideways glance , asking why he would ask that . Roderick crossed his arms , looking innocent . " The way you've been looking at me these past two days makes me feel like I owe you millions .

" Madeleine finished her last bite of food , put down her fork , took a sip of water , wiped her mouth and hands , and then sat up straight to look at Roderick . " You owe me a lot more than that ! " Roderick sat up straighter too , uncrossing his arms . " What do I owe you ? " Madeleine finally let out the anger she'd been holding in for days . She stood up , but Roderick was so tall that even with her standing and him sitting , she still didn't feel intimidating . enough .

Chapter 142 So Madeleine decisively took off her shoes , stepped onto the sofa , and stood there with her hands on her hips , glaring at him . " I can't believe it was really me who proposed to you ! ? Ricki , did you drug me or something ?! " Roderick , who had been ready to apologize and make amends , was now completely confused . All this for that ? Unable to hold back , Roderick burst out laughing . When Madeleine saw that he actually dared to laugh , she stomped her foot in anger , making the sofa shake slightly . " You're still laughing ? This is serious !

I've been racking my brain for days and I just can't figure it out . Me , me , how could I , Madeleine , be the one to propose marriage ?! ? Roderick held back his laughter and reached out to steady her leg , afraid she might fall . Chapter 142 " You must have drugged me . No , no way , I can't just let this go . " Madeleine stomped her foot angrily , trying to figure out how to make up for it . Roderick looked up at her puffed - up , angry face , and his smile deepened . Then , his eyes darkened a little . He reached out , pulled her down to sit on the sofa , and had her lean against him .

" How did you find out about this ? Did you ... remember ? " Madeleine stopped struggling and nodded slightly . Roderick got a little nervous . " You remembered everything ? " " Not really . " Madeleine shrugged . " Just some fragments . It's been like a movie lately, floating through my mind in broken pieces . Some I can catch and piece together , others are just blurry . " " Like how I remembered proposing the other day . I don't remember what happened after , just that I was the one who brought it up .

" Roderick played with a strand of her hair with one hand and Chapter 142 hummed in response . " You brought it up , and we went for our marriage registration the next day ." Madeleine : ... " And my parents agreed to that ? " She remembered her dad telling her since she was a little girl not to get married so young . Roderick was silent for a moment , then after a while , he rubbed his nose awkwardly and said , " We didn't tell them . We went and did it secretly .
