waking up with my nemesis' baby novel

" Do you think Bradley's blind date will go well tomorrow ? " She looked up at Roderick . " You know him better . What if he doesn't like her and makes a scene ? " Madeleine was worrying on her mom's behalf . Being a matchmaker wasn't easy . What if she failed to set them up and just made things awkward for everyone ? Roderick had just finished the document . He closed his laptop , lifted Madeleine up , and settled her onto his lap . " So worried about him ? " " Just curious .

" " You've been a little too curious these past few days ." Roderick's eyes narrowed slightly as he suddenly leaned in , a hint of seduction in his gaze . " How come I don't see you being this curious about me ? " Chapter 172 Madeleine didn't have time to pull back , and her heart gave a violent thump . She seemed to get flustered so easily lately ... Seeing him lean in again , Madeleine quickly pressed two fingers against Roderick's lips . " Stop messing around , we're talking about something serious . " Roderick's eyes showed his displeasure . This girl .

It was bad enough she wouldn't let him go all the way with her , but for the past two days , she'd even been resisting any form of intimacy . Could it be that the novelty of him had worn off ? He had no idea what was on Madeleine's mind . For the past two days , his words kept replaying in her head- " If this keeps up , what if I develop a problem from holding it in ... " Just thinking about it made Madeleine tense up . It couldn't actually break , could it ? Chapter 172 That's why she always stopped Roderick from getting too close , nipping it all in the bud !

Quickly pushing Roderick away , Madeleine sat cross - legged on the sofa next to him . " Are you free tomorrow ? How about we go watch ? " Roderick's mind was still a mess , and he didn't immediately register what she wanted to watch . " Hm ? " " Bradley's blind date ! Don't you want to see how he does ? " Roderick thought for a moment . " I can't get away tomorrow . " " Ah ... " Madeleine was a bit disappointed . " Then I'll just skip it if I'm alone . I'm not going . " Roderick's brow furrowed again . He considered it .

There was a national - level event he had to attend tomorrow ; he really couldn't get out of it . He sighed with some resignation . " Have Rebecca go with you ? " Chapter 172 " Is she free ? She seems pretty busy lately . I've asked her to dinner a few times , but she always said she didn't have time . " Roderick chuckled . " Just busy with nonsense . " These days , Rebecca was running all over the place , spending most of her time in that lab of Adrian's . It was hard to tell if she was the one scheming , or if she was the one being schemed against .

Roderick took out his phone and sent Rebecca a text . A moment later , he got an affirmative reply . " She agreed . I'll have her come pick you up tomorrow . " " Yay ~ " The next day , Madeleine showed up in front of Rebecca dressed all in black , with a hat , a mask , and sunglasses , fully equipped . Rebecca's mouth twitched . Chapter 172 " When did you switch careers to become a paparazzo ? " " What paparazzo ? " Madeleine spoke , then it clicked , and she glanced down at her outfit and raised an eyebrow . " It's called being cautious .

" Rebecca shook her head in confusion , entered the restaurant and gave her name , and a waiter led them to their reserved table . Madeleine blinked a couple of times . " You didn't tell me you booked the perfect spot for spying ! " Their table was in a corner of the restaurant , diagonally across from Bradley's reserved table , with a few plants in between that both hid them and gave them a clear view . Rebecca elegantly lifted her water glass and took a sip , the corner of her mouth lifting slightly . " If we're going to spectate , of course we need a good spot .

" Madeleine took off her sunglasses , her eyes sparkling . " Leave it to you ! " Chapter 172 Before long , Bradley arrived . He was wearing a dark shirt for a change today , the cuffs slightly rolled up to reveal his strong forearms , and he still had that same cold , stern air about him . But his brow was slightly furrowed , clearly not looking forward to this blind date . Madeleine lowered her voice . " Tsk , look at his face . He looks like he's here for a fight , not a blind date . " " You get used to it. How many people go on blind dates willingly these days ?

" Madeleine picked up on something . " Rebecca , you've been on them too ? " Rebecca shot her a glare . " Are you here for Gossip about Bradley or about me ? " Madeleine's eyes lit up even more . " Where there's Gossip , there I am ! " " Stop being a smart - ass . " Chapter 172 Rebecca avoided her gaze and lifted her chin toward the door . " Looks like Bradley's blind date is here ."
