waking up with my nemesis' baby novel

And the golden child just screwed it all up ! ? Daniel looked at the golden child now , feeling the urge to strangle him . Jason , with his hands on his hips and still fuming , told Daniel and the others to get the hell out . " Damn it , I just got back and I already run into her . Talk about bad luck ! " But even as he cursed , Jason thought about the way Madeleine's eyes had glared at him , the sway of her hips as she walked away , and he couldn't help but feel a stir inside . He smirked coldly . " Ten years ago , you had the guts to slap me . Now , it's my turn .

" A woman whose family was bankrupt ... he could do whatever he wanted with her . Chapter 178 Madeleine was still sulking when Roderick got home . Roderick had a work dinner that night and was a bit tired when he returned , but seeing Madeleine's unhappy face , he immediately perked up . He put down his jacket and moved closer , reaching out to hug Madeleine . " What's wrong ? Who made you unhappy ? " Before he could touch her , Madeleine pushed him away . Roderick's eyes looked a little hurt . Madeleine had to explain , " You don't smell good ." Roderick's expression immediately relaxed .

So that was the reason . Madeleine had never liked the smell of smoke and alcohol , ever since she was a child . She used to push her dad away as a kid , and now she was pushing him away . It was actually kind of cute . Chapter 178 " Go take a shower first ." Madeleine realized she shouldn't have taken that attitude with Roderick , and now she gave him an awkward little push . Roderick hadn't actually drunk much or smoked , but in that kind of environment , the smell just seeped into you . He looked very wronged , with a pitiful expression on his face . " So tired .

" " You have to shower even if you're tired . Don't you even have the strength to shower ? " " Mmm . " Madeleine frowned , and after a moment , she realized he was doing it on purpose . She playfully punched his chest in annoyance . " Oh , get out of here . Can't you see I'm unhappy ? And you're still teasing me . " Her hand had just landed when Roderick caught it . He held it against his chest , not letting her move it at all . " I can tell . Isn't this me trying to cheer you up ? " Chapter 178 After speaking , he pulled her wrist , drawing her towards him , his voice low and husky .

" Be a good girl and help me undress ." She was still holding in her anger , but hearing this , Madeleine couldn't quite hold it in anymore . " Wait , you said you were cheering me up ? " " I am . Isn't this cheering you up ? " Madeleine got heated . So his idea of cheering someone up was to have her help him undress ? Roderick pressed Madeleine's hand , moving it to the tie and buttons in front of him . Madeleine didn't know what came over her , but as if by some strange impulse , she actually moved her fingers to unbutton it for him .

Her warm fingertips , as they undid the buttons , intentionally or not , brushed against the skin of Roderick's chest . Like a single spark , recklessly setting a prairie ablaze . Chapter 178 Roderick's breathing grew heavier . He really wanted to lean down and kiss her , but the thought that this girl would definitely find him disgusting made him give al helpless little laugh . In those few seconds he was lost in thought , Roderick discovered all his shirt buttons had been undone . Madeleine had also pulled out the hem of his shirt . Her gaze shamelessly sized up Roderick's pecs and abs .

Although she had snuck glances before and knew Roderick had a good body . But this was the first time she'd been this close , seeing it so clearly . Madeleine glanced at his abs , then suddenly reached out and touched them . They were hard . Her eyes lit up a bit . " They're so hard . I used to have toned abs when I was dancing intensively , and they were hard too , but not this hard . " Chapter 178 Roderick's breath hitched at her sudden action , and his Adam's apple bobbed . Hard ? Mmm , somewhere else was even harder .

He looked down at Madeleine , who was still curiously poking his abs , and his eyes darkened a few shades . His voice was low and husky , laced with a smile . " Like what you feel ? " Only then did Madeleine realize what she was doing . Her ears burned , and she immediately pulled her hand back . She looked up , pretending to be calm . " Who likes it ? I was just curious . " " Oh , you don't like it ... " Roderick sighed disappointedly , his voice turning strangely alluring , " If you don't like it , you can just be curious . " He smiled , grabbed her wrist , and pressed her palm back .

against his abs . " If you're curious , feel all you want . It's free .
