waking up with my nemesis' baby novel

Chapter 170 Seeing this , Madeleine went into full - on drama mode . " Oh , honey , I think I twisted my ankle too . It hurts so much . " She fell dramatically into Roderick's arms . " It must be because you pulled me along so fast just now . " Roderick raised an eyebrow at her over - the - top acting , the corner of his mouth twitching . " Did you twist your left foot or your right foot ? " Madeleine blinked . " I twisted both of them . " Roderick sighed helplessly and scooped her up into his arms . " Then I'll have to carry you upstairs to put some medicine on it .

" " Yes , yes , the medicine is what's important ! " Madeleine wrapped her arms around his neck and waved at Edward . " Mr. Carroll , see yourself out ! " Roderick strode upstairs , but didn't forget to call back an order , " Roy , see our guest out . And remember to wipe down the entire living room with disinfectant . " Chapter 170 " Yes , sir . " Roy , holding back a laugh , respectfully gestured toward the door for them to leave . Fiona stood there , looking at Edward's twisted expression , and felt incredibly exhausted .

She bent down to pick up her dropped purse and said softly , " Edward , let's go ..." " I don't need you to tell me that ! " Edward spun around abruptly , but froze for a moment when he saw Fiona's reddened eyes . Fiona looked up at him , gave a self - deprecating smile , nodded , and walked out . With her injured foot , she was limping as she walked . Roy couldn't bear to watch and went over to help her . Edward didn't know what to say , his feet felt rooted to the spot .

Roderick kicked the bedroom door open , strode in with Madeleine in his arms , and then kicked it shut hard with his Chapter 170 heel . The force of it made Madeleine's heart jump , and she quickly let out a dry laugh . " Hehe , I didn't actually twist my ankle . " " Ricki , why don't you put me down ? I can walk by myself , I don't need any medicine . " Before she could finish , she was tossed onto the soft , big bed . " Oof ! " She feigned rubbing her waist , " Gently ... " Roderick loosened his tie with one hand , looking down at her . " Explain . " Madeleine shrank back .

" That ' touch ' wasn't a real touch , it was about figuring him out ... " " Why did you let him in ? " ။ Roderick cut her off , his voice low . " You know I don't like it . " He knelt on the bed with one knee and pulled Madeleine back as she tried to escape . Chapter 170 Madeleine fell into his arms , smelling the faint scent of mint on him , mixed with a hint of anger . " Fiona came first . I thought he might be looking for Fiona , and I was a little curious , so I let him in . " She muttered under her breath , her voice trembling slightly . " Who knew he would suddenly go crazy ...

" Roderick gripped her chin , not too forcefully , and made her look up . " Curious about what ? " His thumb caressed her lips . " Curious about his attitude toward you now ? " Just as Madeleine was about to argue , Roderick lowered his head and kissed her . The kiss was punishing, forcefully prying her lips apart , invading every inch without room for refusal . The kiss made Madeleine go weak , her fingers unconsciously clutching his shirt . " Mmm ... " She pushed him lightly . " I can't breathe ... " Chapter 170 Roderick pulled back slightly , but his lips still brushed against hers .

" Will you dare to let him in again ? " Madeleine blinked her watery eyes . " I won't ... " " Will you dare to defend him again ? " " No ... " " Why didn't you let me beat him up ? " " I already told you , I was afraid you'd get hurt in a fight ! " Roderick's eyes darkened . " You think I'd lose? " Madeleine understood it all now . Ricki was jealous , really jealous . She immediately softened her attitude , looking up to kiss Roderick's face , once on this side , once on the other, and then his nose and eyes . " That's not it . I was afraid my husband's handsome face would get hurt .

" Roderick's eyes seemed to be stained with ink as he lowered Chapter 170 his head to kiss her again . This time it was much gentler , but still impossible to resist . He cupped the back of her head with one hand and wrapped the other around her waist , trapping her completely in his embrace . " Madeleine . " He pressed his forehead against hers , his voice hoarse , breathing heavily . " You're mine . " Madeleine nodded , blushing , but then she heard him add , " If he dares to come again , I'll destroy him ." They were harsh words , but spoken with tender intimacy .

Madeleine knew he wasn't joking , but for some reason , her heart started to race . " So , this is what the alpha CEOs I read about as a kid are like . How did I not notice before ? " Madeleine chuckled softly . " Roderick , that Short - form Web Drama I sent you last time , did you secretly learn from it ? " " Mhm .
