waking up with my nemesis' baby novel

Chapter 180 Who knew that she would just stare at him for a moment . The next second . Madeleine leaned down , almost pushing Roderick into the water . She had no technique , only pure emotion . The wave of heat she created felt like it was going to drown Roderick . Roderick's surprise was no less than their first time together . He heard the person in his arms murmuring that she wanted to go back to the room , back to bed . Roderick's voice was hoarse . " I can't wait , Kev ... " " Let's just do it here , okay ? " After a long moment . Chapter 180 He heard Madeleine give a soft " mm ." ...

Meanwhile , with Bradley , after they finished at the mummy museum , he followed Isabella to visit her forensic science center . The two of them didn't exchange a single word of idle chatter , just a constant stream of professional knowledge . Anyone who knew would say they were on a blind date , but anyone who didn't would think they were at some kind of academic conference . Before they knew it , it was evening . They had dinner in the cafeteria but didn't eat much , so they decided to grab a late - night snack together .

It was only while they were eating their late - night snack that Bradley came to his senses . Wait , this is a blind date . He cleared his throat and awkwardly brought up the topic . Chapter 180 " Um , Isabella . " That's what Bradley had been calling Isabella all afternoon . It made their relationship sound like one between a senior and a junior . He scratched his head , unsure of where to begin . He hadn't taken this blind date seriously at first , planning to just get through a meal and be done with it . He didn't expect that they'd get along so well because of their similar professions .

But getting along is one thing ; there just wasn't any real spark . He was afraid the girl might get the wrong idea , so now he was racking his brain trying to figure out how to explain . It would be better to clear the air sooner rather than later . " What's wrong ? " " Actually , there's something I should have made clear to you earlier . You're a great girl , it's just that I ... " Isabella stared at him with a smile , seemingly not curious about Chapter 180 what he was going to say . " I think , we ... maybe we should just ... " " Bradley .

" Isabella suddenly propped her chin on her hand , her eyes sparkling as she stared at him , " So what's really going on between you and Charlotte ? " Bradley's expression was a bit stiff . He stared at Isabella for a moment , his eyes filled with confusion at first . They had been chatting all afternoon , and it seemed they hadn't mentioned Charlotte even once . Or maybe ... Back at the restaurant during lunch , had Isabella already figured out that he and Charlotte knew each other ? Isabella giggled , " You don't have to look at me like that .

I guessed it the moment you two met ." " Uh , was it that obvious ? " Chapter 180 Isabella snorted with laughter . " Did you think you were a good actor ? " Bradley laughed dryly . Isabella continued to gossip , asking tentatively , " You must be that 'little brother ' of Charlotte's , right ? " Bradley's expression grew even stranger , a look of ' how do you know everything ' on his face . He forced a smile . " Are you ... very close with Charlotte ? " " Charlotte handled a case for one of my relatives before .

I was the one who delivered the documents and stuff , so we got to know each other over time . " Isabella winked , a meaningful smile on her face . " So , she mentions you sometimes . " Bradley's breath hitched , and he unconsciously rubbed the rim of his coffee cup . " What ... what did she say about me ? " Isabella tilted her head , deliberately drawing out her words . " Hmm ... she said you were a real handful as a kid , that you Chapter 180 broke your arm falling out of a tree , and you always used to steal her snacks . " Bradley's ears burned .

He coughed lightly , " Why would she even tell you that ... " " But . " Isabella suddenly leaned in closer , lowering her voice . " She also said that even though you were a troublemaker , you've always been there for her whenever she needed you , ever since you were kids . " Bradley froze , his heart feeling as if it had been gently struck by something . He looked down at the rippling tea in his cup , the corner of his mouth unconsciously curling into a smile , which he quickly suppressed . " Did she really say that ? " " Why would I lie to you ?

" Isabella pouted , then asked nosily , " You like her , don't you ? " Bradley didn't say anything . Chapter 180 " Well , that makes me wonder . If you like her , why are you out on a blind date ? " Bradley didn't answer the question , just asked one back . " What about you ? I can tell you're not interested in me , and you don't seem like someone who needs to be dating or getting married .
