waking up with my nemesis' baby novel

Over here , Roderick saw the elevator move and got up to walk over . The elevator doors opened , and Madeleine , with a pained expression , practically fell onto Roderick . " Quick , quick ! Help me , my legs are like jelly and my feet are killing me . I can't stand up anymore . " Roderick's expression changed slightly . " What's wrong ? " Madeleine : " That girl Minerva has way too much stamina ..." Roderick didn't say a word and swept Madeleine into his arms .

She let out a soft cry , instinctively wrapping her arms around his neck , her cheek against his firm chest , where she could clearly hear his powerful heartbeat . " You haven't danced in years and you still tried to show off ? " Roderick scolded her in a low voice , but his steps were Chapter 155 exceptionally steady , afraid of jostling her even the slightest bit . Madeleine mumbled in his arms , " I was just trying to set an example for my cousin ... " And I didn't want to lose face .

In the bathroom , Roderick adjusted the water temperature with one hand , while the other still held her securely . The warm steam gradually filled the air , fogging up the mirror . He tested the water temperature before carefully setting her down on the edge of the bathtub . " Can you get undressed by yourself ? " Roderick's voice was a little hoarse . Madeleine blinked , a playful mood suddenly striking her . " What if I say I can't ? " As soon as the words left her mouth , she saw Roderick's Adam's apple bob , his eyes filled with desire . Madeleine quickly backed off , chuckling .

" Just kidding , I can do it myself . You should get out now ." Chapter 155 " Mm . " Predictably disappointed , Roderick nodded and left . He went downstairs , personally warmed up some milk for Madeleine , and when he brought it up , he saw Kevin coming out of his room , hugging a small pillow . Roderick frowned at him . " Not asleep yet ? " " Dad . " Kevin blinked his big eyes . " I want to sleep with you guys . " Roderick walked over , took the pillow from his hands , and said seriously , " Mom and I have work stuff to talk about . " " I'll just sleep next to you . I won't bother you .

" " No , it's classified . " Kevin was speechless . Classified ? Does he think a four - year - old kid is going to eavesdrop and leak secrets ? Chapter 155 Kevin pouted but was still persistent . " Then when can I sleep with Mom and Dad ? " " Next time . " " When is next time ? " " I'll tell you when the time comes . " In the span of just a few sentences , Roderick had already coaxed the child back into his room . Kevin wanted to press for a specific time , but he was pushed down onto the bed . " Be a good boy and sleep . Your mom is very busy , don't make her worry .

" The moment his mom was mentioned , Kevin instantly became more sensible than anyone , shrinking his neck and nodding . " Okay , then . " Roderick turned and left , finally letting out a sigh of relief . Good thing Madeleine was in the shower . If she had heard the kid say he wanted to sleep with them , she would have definitely Chapter 155 agreed . After her bath , Madeleine was so tired she didn't have an ounce of strength left in her body . She called out . " Roderick , can you come blow - dry my hair? I can't lift my arms . " Hearing her call , Roderick went in with the warm milk .

Madeleine was sitting at the vanity wrapped in a bathrobe , her long , wet hair draped over her shoulders , glowing softly under the light . She was gently dabbing the ends of her hair with a towel , the movement clearly a struggle . " Drink this first . " Madeleine looked annoyed . " I already told you I can't lift my arms . You feed me . " After speaking , she looked at Roderick expectantly , and that look alone made his heart itch . There was nothing he could do . Who could say no when Chase gave an order ?

Roderick could only sigh helplessly , but his eyes Chapter 155 were filled with a doting smile . He walked to Madeleine's side and gently brought the glass of milk to her lips . " It's cooled for a bit , it shouldn't be hot . " He murmured , tilting his wrist at the perfect angle so Madeleine could sip it without any trouble . When she finished the milk , he took the towel from her and gently wiped the ends of her hair . He plugged in the hairdryer , tested the temperature , and then carefully lifted her long hair .

The warm air brushed through her hair , his fingers weaving through it , his movements so gentle it was as if he were handling a rare treasure . Madeleine was truly exhausted . She felt like she couldn't even hold her head up anymore , leaning back against Roderick . Roderick's movements were gentle , but he didn't dare to be careless , meticulously drying her hair . As he ran his fingers through her hair , he lowered his gaze , his Chapter 155 eyes unconsciously landing on the fair nape of her neck .
