waking up with my nemesis' baby novel

More importantly , Madeleine found her a bit familiar , feeling as if she had seen her somewhere before . " Bradley ... " the girl called out again as she got closer , her voice trembling on the verge of tears . " Can we talk , please ? " Bradley's expression instantly froze , turning cold . " I've told you before , don't call me that again ! " " Why ? " The girl seemed to be breaking down . She touched her own lips and said urgently , " Didn't you say my lips didn't look like hers ? I had surgery done . Look , I look like her now . " Bradley frowned and took half a step back , his eyes icy .

No matter how similar , it still wasn't her . Seeing Bradley step back , the girl became even more agitated , and tears streamed from her eyes . She saw Madeleine next to Bradley , and her hand shot up , ! Chapter 165 trembling as she pointed at her . " Is it because of her ? You're leaving me because of her , right ? But she doesn't look like her at all . " It was only after hearing this that something clicked for Madeleine . Bradley's " sister " He remembered Roderick had shown him a picture of his sister , and this girl looked a lot like her ... Madeleine's eyes widened instantly .

What the hell , is that guy Bradley looking for a substitute ? Someone's been reading too much of the substitute lover trope ! " I told you , we were already over . " Bradley's gaze turned completely cold , a total contrast to his usual playful self . Chapter 165 Tears streamed down the girl's face as she shook her head , stubbornly trying to move closer . " No , it's not over . You said you wanted me by your side , you let me call you Bradley ... Don't you like me even a tiny bit ? " " No. " Bradley was blunt , his tone calm to the point of being cruel .

" I said this arrangement could end at any time . From the very beginning , you knew I was just looking for a substitute , and I've already paid you the compensation . " " I don't want it ! " The girl shrieked , tears bursting from her eyes , " You were so good to me , how could you not like me ? " A cruel smile touched Bradley's lips . " If I liked you , would I have kept my hands off you ? " The color drained from the girl's face . " I paid , you played a role . We each got what we wanted . I didn't force you , and I didn't deceive you .

" Chapter 165 Bradley said , his tone softening slightly , " You are your own person . You shouldn't get plastic surgery or hurt yourself for someone else . Just take the money and live your own life . " " Bradley ... " The girl looked as if she'd been slapped hard across the face , and she staggered back . " How could you be so cruel ? " Bradley frowned slightly , looked at her for a moment , and said in a deep voice , " I'll give you more money . Just leave . " " No , I don't want money . I just want to be with you ." She cried out , hysterical .

" I'm the one who can be with you forever , Bradley . I don't mind being a substitute . I can be a substitute for my whole life . " " That's enough . " Bradley turned his head away , not looking at her , his tone low . " Don't make such a scene . " As they spoke , Roderick had already driven the car over . Chapter 165 He had noticed the scene from a distance . Looking at the girl's appearance and demeanor , he had already guessed most of it . The car came to a stop , and Roderick got out and walked to Madeleine's side .

His powerful and cold presence was impossible for the girl to ignore , and her crying couldn't help but stop . Roderick just gave her an indifferent glance and said nothing . " Get in the car . " He reached out and patted Bradley's shoulder . Watching the three of them get into the car , the girl broke down even more , her legs gave out , and she knelt on the ground , covering her face and sobbing . Inside the car , the atmosphere was heavy .

Madeleine sat in the passenger seat , turning her head one moment , then looking at the rearview mirror the next , trying to check on Bradley's condition . Chapter 165 Roderick kept his eyes on the road and reached out a hand to turn Madeleine's head . " Watch the road . " Madeleine looked confused . " You're the one driving . What road am I supposed to be watching ? " Roderick didn't say anything , giving her a " just mind your own business " look . Bradley closed his eyes to rest in the back seat for a while and quickly composed himself .

He leaned forward , resting his hand on the back of the driver's seat , and asked , " Can we not eat at that place? I ate there last time , and it was pretty average . It's not that I'm being cheap . " Roderick : " My wife wants to eat there . " Bradley rolled his eyes and sat back again .
