waking up with my nemesis' baby novel

" We already ate , Madeleine . If you'd woken up any later , my aunt and uncle would already be here . " Madeleine froze . " My parents are coming ? " " Yeah . They were supposed to go on a trip this weekend , but their flight was canceled due to bad weather , so I invited them over . " Madeleine paused , looking around the spotless house . " Don't tell me you're doing all this cleaning just because they're coming ? " " Yeah . " Madeleine laughed dryly . " You really don't have to go to all this trouble . My parents aren't picky or neat freaks .

" Roderick looked at her and replied seriously , " Even so , I will always treat their visits as an important occasion . " Because they are her parents . People who are important to her . Chapter 158 To Roderick , they are just as important . Madeleine didn't know what to say . Now when she looked at Roderick , she found him perfect in every way . Thinking this , Madeleine grinned . " Then I'll join in too . " ။ " You don't have to . Go eat . " Minerva looked over , displeased . " Why doesn't Madeleine have to? I'm already helping .

Brother - in - law , you're using child labor , that's illegal ! " Roderick turned and said coolly , " Then do you still want the concert tickets ? " That shut Minerva up . She immediately started spraying the plants in her hand with more energy . After all , her brother - in - law was her most powerful connection . Every time she chased her idols , she could get a close - up view thanks to him . Madeleine was urged to go eat breakfast . The breakfast Kirsten Chapter 158 prepared was low - calorie and delicious , and Madeleine praised it repeatedly as she ate .

Kirsten was even happier to be praised . " As long as you like it . I've been researching a lot of nutritious meal recipes lately , especially postpartum recovery meals . They're delicious . " " Pfft ... " Madeleine almost spat out a mouthful of water . " Post ... partum recovery meals ?! " Kirsten came over to clear the table with a smile , completely oblivious to Madeleine's face instantly turning red . " Yeah , they'll always come in handy . But you don't have to worry about it . Reproductive freedom , we won't say anything out of line . " " Reproductive freedom " ... right .

Madeleine gave a dry laugh and nodded , not continuing the conversation . Not long after breakfast , the sound of a car came from outside . Chapter 158 It seemed Madeleine's parents had arrived . Madeleine hadn't seen her parents in a few days , so she eagerly ran outside . It wasn't that Madeleine didn't want to see them . Every time she suggested visiting them over the weekend or after work , the old couple would hastily say they were busy . At first , Madeleine thought that since they were in a better mood now , they must have more recreational activities .

Only after asking for details did she find out . They did have more recreational activities . The two of them had gotten into playing Poker ... After Madeleine found out , she couldn't help but sigh and complain to Roderick . Somehow , Poker had become more important than their own daughter . She ran out and joyfully threw herself into her parents ' arms . " Mom , Dad , I missed you so much . " " Sweet daughter , we missed you too ." Chapter 158 Clarissa chuckled and reached out to pinch Madeleine's cheek . " Not bad , not bad . My daughter is looking better and better .

" Hearing this , Madeleine looked as if her world was ending . Around here , saying someone is " looking better " is just a nice way of saying they've put on weight . Madeleine quickly patted herself down . " I got fat !? Seriously ? Oh my god , why did I eat that half a cake yesterday . " Harold gave Clarissa an annoyed look after hearing that . " Look what you said . You scared the kid . Where did she get fat ? My daughter is so slim , takes after me !" " Takes after you ? I can't even be bothered to mention that beer belly you've grown since you retired . " " Hey , you're one to talk .

You've got a dowager's hump . " " No , no , this won't do . Starting tomorrow , let's play one less hour of Poker and go running , do Tai Chi , or go public square dancing . " Chapter 158 The couple went back and forth , no one noticing Madeleine's breakdown at that moment . Madeleine : ... Fortunately , Roderick came over just then , walked up behind her , and whispered , " You haven't gained weight . Your waist is even slimmer . " Madeleine's face flushed , and worried her parents would see , she shot Roderick an annoyed glare .

But the culprit straightened up , pretending not to notice , with a smile playing on his lips . " Mom , Dad , let's go inside . I just made some tea . " " Good , good . It's been a while since we've had Roderick's tea . " " Yes , you two haven't been over for a while . " " How's your father ? " " He's doing great . " " And Mrs. Miller ? She's an older mother - to - be , so she has to be careful about Chapter 158 everything . " Roderick nodded , replying as he followed them inside , " I hired a professional team for their in - home care , and they have regular check - ups .
