waking up with my nemesis' baby novel

Isabella shrugged , " I'm so jealous . You get to see living people every day , unlike me ... never mind , probably not the best topic for dinner , hehe . " From a distance , Madeleine suddenly grabbed Rebecca's arm , her nails digging into her flesh . " Oh my god , isn't that Bradley's sister , Charlotte ! " Rebecca calmly patted her hand away . " I see her . " Madeleine sneakily took out her phone to take a picture and send it to Roderick . Madeleine's fingers flew across the screen: [ Look ! Bradley's blind date brought Charlotte with her ! It's an Underworld! An Underworld !

] Roderick replied quickly : [ ? ] Followed by another message : [ Stay away . Bradley turns into a mad dog when he sees his sister . ] Chapter 174 He was afraid his little Madeleine would get caught in the crossfire . Madeleine pouted and continued to watch them nosily . " Why are those two pretending they don't know each other ? " " Probably to avoid making Isabella feel awkward . " Rebecca analyzed rationally , " Charlotte is afraid Isabella will find out that Bradley likes her . If it gets out , how could they finish this meal ? " " True .

" Madeleine sighed , resting her chin on her hand with a pained expression . Rebecca found it strange and reached out to poke her furrowed brow . " What's wrong with you ? " " Tell me , is the pseudo - incestuous ship better , or the doctor- forensic examiner ship ? " Rebecca narrowed her eyes , studying Madeleine for a moment . Chapter 174 " I never would've guessed . You're quite the shipper . " Madeleine nodded like a chicken pecking at rice . " Yeah , yeah ! You and that antiques guy are a great ship too ! " " Stop . " Rebecca shot her a glare .

" Adrian and I only have a working relationship . Don't just ship us . " Madeleine just smiled without a word . So stubborn . She was just waiting for their fluffy moments . When they were almost done eating , Isabella got up to go to the restroom , and the air at the table instantly froze . " When did you get back ? " Bradley asked in a low voice . Charlotte cut her steak gracefully . " Last week . " " Why didn't you contact me ? " Chapter 174 " Was there a need to ? " She looked up at him , her gaze as calm as if she were looking at a stranger . " Bradley , we have no relationship anymore .

" " That's right . No relationship . " Bradley's eyes held a hint of excitement . " So you're not my sister anymore . Charlotte , we ... " " Legally , we have no relationship , but I've always seen you as my little brother . " " Charlotte ! " Bradley was getting angry . " Do you dare to look me in the eye and say that again ? " Charlotte kept her head down , cutting her steak , and didn't move . Isabella's footsteps approached , and the two of them immediately reverted to polite , distant expressions . " What are you two talking about ? " Isabella looked at them curiously .

Something seemed off about their expressions . Chapter 174 Charlotte smiled and wiped the corner of her mouth . " I was asking Dr. Kline what sports he usually likes . " " Oh yeah ? Dr. Kline looks like he's in great shape. What sports do you like ? " Isabella asked with great interest . Bradley looked at Charlotte's perfect fake smile and suddenly felt a tightness in his chest . " Fencing . " That used to be Charlotte's favorite sport . Charlotte's eyelashes trembled slightly , but she quickly returned to normal . Isabella said , delighted , " Charlotte , don't you like fencing too ?

We could go together . How about we find a fencing club and have some fun this afternoon ? " " I'm afraid not . " Charlotte picked up her phone with an apologetic look . " I just got a message , there's an urgent meeting . " Instinctively , Bradley didn't want her to leave . " I'll drive you . " Chapter 174 " There's no need . " Charlotte smiled and declined , " My car is right outside . " She turned to Isabella , " Isabella , have fun . " Bradley watched her back as she turned to leave . Three years , and she was still the same - always elegant and poised . Always ...

keeping him a thousand miles away . Isabella watched Charlotte's retreating figure in confusion , then turned to look at Bradley . " Do you two ... know each other ? " Bradley pulled his gaze back and said flatly , " We don't . " His tone was so calm , he almost believed it himself . Only he knew that as he said those words , it felt like something was viciously squeezing his heart . Outside the restaurant , Charlotte got into her car and finally dropped all her pretenses . Her hands were shaking uncontrollably , and it took her three tries to fasten her seatbelt .

In the rearview mirror , she saw her eyes were getting a little red . Chapter 174 Charlotte left , and Madeleine's disappointment was obvious . She bit her straw , sipping her sparkling water . " Why'd she leave ? What happened to the Underworld you promised ? " " You really love to watch the drama unfold , don't you ? " Rebecca shook her head , leaning back and crossing her arms . " You should probably think about how you're going to explain this to your mom . This blind date , I don't think it's going to work out .
