waking up with my nemesis' baby novel

Three seconds later . " Fuck ! " Madeleine couldn't hold back a curse , sitting up and turning to glare at Roderick . " And you said you didn't drug me ! " Roderick sighed helplessly , " Someone was clinging to me , so afraid I'd be snatched away , and somehow that's my fault . " " How could I ... possibly ..." Madeleine said , her voice lacking conviction . After all , in that memory , she really had been upset because all the heiresses at the party had crushes on Roderick . Roderick reached out and tapped her on the nose . " You were such a little jealous thing back then .

" Madeleine swatted his hand away irritably and made a face at Chapter 143 Roderick . " Well , the tables have turned . Now you're the jealous type . " "" ' The jealous type ' is one thing , but what's this about an ' old jealous type ' ? " Roderick was not happy with that nickname . He frowned . " I'm not that much older than you , am I ? " " Never mind that . Just admit it , are you or aren't you ? " After a moment , Roderick nodded . " If it's a term of endearment , I'll reluctantly admit to it . " Madeleine's lips twitched . Who calls ' the jealous type ' a term of endearment ?

" Then again , even if I am the jealous type , I'm not as bad as you . Who gets so jealous they end up marrying the guy ? " Madeleine deflated when she heard that . It was true . How could she be so naive , getting jealous to the point of marrying him ? Chapter 143 She shot him a sideways glance . " You're not one to talk , Mr. Livingston . I heard you transferred Meagan from the records . room to a branch office ? Could it be because I had to hand off work to her every day ? " After saying that , Madeleine had a smug look on her face , as if she'd just scored a point .

" And I heard Meagan just graduated from college not long ago . A young , good - looking college kid , huh ... a lot of colleagues were complimenting her . " With every word of praise from Madeleine , Roderick's expression soured a little more . Looking at him now , calling him ' the jealous type ' was a compliment . " See ? See ! And you said you weren't as bad as me . You're the king of jealousy , got it ? " If Madeleine had a tail , it would be sticking straight up in the air right now . Chapter 143 Roderick narrowed his eyes , then reached up and loosened his tie .

" You think I'm too nice , is that it ? " Madeleine deliberately added fuel to the fire . " Did I hit a nerve , Mr. Livingston ? Getting all defensive now ? Oh , it's fine . She might be young , but she's not as mature as you . She might be good - looking , but she's not as steady as you ! " Roderick : ... She might as well have just called him old . He reached out , hooked an arm around Madeleine's neck , and pulled her close . Roderick leaned in , his dangerous aura instantly overwhelming her . " Fine .

Since you've said it , it would be a shame for this ' king of jealousy ' not to do something to earn the title . " Madeleine's heart skipped a beat , and before she could react , he swept her up into his arms . " Hey , what are you doing ! " Chapter 143 Madeleine was startled and quickly turned to look at the office door , terrified someone would barge in and see them . " After lunch , it's time for a nap . " As soon as he finished speaking , the lounge door slammed shut with a bang . In the afternoon , Gerry came in with a document for Roderick to sign .

Just as they were discussing work , the lounge door opened . Madeleine came out yawning , her eyes heavy with sleep . She waved at Gerry when she saw him . " Hi , Gerry . " Ever since she learned about Gerry's background , Madeleine had been filled with respect and admiration for him . Whenever she ran into Gerry , she would beat around the bush asking how he studied , which always made him break out in a cold sweat , afraid that Daquan would ask to have him fired . Right now , Gerry's attention was only on Mrs. Livingston's lips . Chapter 143 Why did they look ... swollen ?

Gerry's heart skipped a beat , and he quickly asked , " Mrs. Livingston , was the lunch not to your liking ? Was it too spicy ? " " Spicy ? No , we had Cantonese - style dishes for lunch today . " " Oh , then why are your lips ... " " You talk so much . Should I sign you up for a children's hosting competition ? " Roderick's icy tone instantly cut Gerry off . A chill ran up his spine , and he shivered . Instantly , he realized Chase's lips weren't swollen from the spice . They were obviously from being kissed ! Startled , Gerry turned to leave , but came back after taking two steps .

" Sir , um , the signature ... " Chapter 143 Roderick quickly signed his name , tossed the document over , and gave him a warning look . Madeleine hadn't caught on yet , her mind trying to figure out what was wrong with lunch . " Maybe you should touch up your lipstick or something .
