waking up with my nemesis' baby novel

Madeleine let out a snort of laughter . " I was just giving an example , just kidding . " Roderick's expression darkened . " Not even as an example or a joke ." This was a serious matter . She had already promised to spend the rest of her life with him . What's all this talk about kicking her out . No , I'll have to teach her a lesson tonight . She can't just say things like that . Watching the two of them interact so sweetly, Harold and Clarissa exchanged a look , both smiling . " So , Maddie , when you talk about ' building a career ,' what exactly do you mean ?

" Madeleine adopted a serious expression , cleared her throat, and sat up straight . Chapter 160 " I'm going to start a company ! " The room was silent for a moment . Madeleine studied each of their faces . Obviously , no one was taking her seriously . " Hey , why are you all looking at me like that ? I'm serious ! " She even took out her phone . " Look , I've been learning a lot about it lately , taking notes and everything . I even signed up for two online courses to get certified . " Roderick was a bit stunned . Madeleine had been really dedicated lately .

Whenever she had free time , she would ask Roderick and Gerry a lot of questions about business and companies . At first , Roderick found it strange , thinking she was genuinely interested in Gerry's job as a special assistant . He hadn't expected her ambition to be so much greater than he thought . Chapter 160 " Maddie , you're not really joking , are you ? " Harold's eyes widened . " I remember you used to hate business , didn't you ? You used to complain when I was running my business . " " I was young and foolish back then . " Madeleine gave an awkward grin .

It was more than just being foolish ; she had single - handedly ruined her family's company . She was practically a walking disaster . Just as she said that , the sound of a car pulling in came from outside . Madeleine turned her head to look through the floor - to - ceiling window and saw it was Bradley . " Why is he here? " " I invited him . To play Poker with Mom and Dad . " Bradley seemed quite familiar with Madeleine's parents . He greeted them warmly as he walked in , holding gifts he had prepared for them . Chapter 160 " You two look younger every time I see you .

Tsk , tsk , I really hope I can look this good when I'm your age . " Bradley , who was usually carefree and flippant around them , was like a completely different person in front of the elders . Madeleine thought to herself : He's putting on an act . Clarissa smiled . " Keeping a youthful mindset is more important than anything . Of course , the most important thing is to have someone you love by your side . " She linked arms with Harold , continuing to hit Bradley where it hurt . " Bradley , when are you going to bring a girlfriend over ?

" Bradley showed no embarrassment from his parents nagging me to get married , just smiled and replied , " Soon , soon . Don't you worry . " " Alright then , we'll see if we're attending your wedding reception or Rebecca's first ! " Madeleine and Roderick exchanged a look , the same helpless expression flashing across both their faces . Chapter 160 As expected ... whenever the elders were around , parents nagging me to get married and the baby talk were eternal topics . Luckily , Bradley was an old pro at this .

He handled it with ease , and knowing the old couple had recently taken a liking to Poker , he quickly urged them to play a couple of rounds . " You know how to play ? " Madeleine looked at the three of them and quickly asked Roderick , afraid the Poker game wouldn't happen . Roderick raised an eyebrow and nodded smugly . " Of course . " Ever since he found out his father - in - law and mother - in - law enjoyed playing Poker , Roderick had scoured all sorts of materials and studied for two days . Winning over his in - laws ? A piece of cake . Madeleine was annoyed .

" How come you all know how to play ? I'll go play with Kev then . " Just as she was about to turn , Roderick pulled her back with one arm , a smile on his face . Chapter 160 " Mom and Dad rarely get to visit . Spend more time with them . " " But I don't know how ... " " I'll teach you . " Kevin , who had been watching them from the side , came scampering over . " Dad , Mom , I want to go with you ." Roderick looked at him and said seriously , " No , kids can't be around that stuff . " " Why not ? " Roderick said with a straight face , " Because playing poker is bad for your health .

" Instantly , Kevin looked like his world was ending . After his dad and mom went upstairs to the game room , he just stood there , stunned . Only a few words echoed in his mind : Bad for your health ! Just then , the smartwatch on his wrist buzzed . Chapter 160 Kevin looked down and opened it .
