Chapter 181 Isabella threw up her hands . " You know how it is . Sometimes you can't refuse your elders ' requests . And I'm not the type to make things awkward . It's not like meeting up once will kill me . " Bradley nodded . He believed that . From her behavior , Isabella seemed like a very straightforward and open person . Isabella stirred her coffee , a sly smile suddenly appearing on her face . " But , you know , I'm starting to think this trip was totally worth it . " Bradley raised an eyebrow . " What do you mean ? " " I've found the perfect ally . " Bradley narrowed his eyes .
" Ally ? " " Yeah ! " Isabella slapped the table excitedly . " We can be each other's cover ! You help me deal with my family , and I'll help you win over Charlotte . How about it ? " Chapter 181 Bradley's expression suddenly turned wary . " Who said I was . going to pursue her ? " " You like her , but you're not going to pursue her ? What's up with that ? " The light in Bradley's eyes dimmed a little . " She has a boyfriend . And besides , she doesn't like me . " " She has a boyfriend ? " Isabella scratched her head . That's strange . How did I not know about this ?
Bradley picked up the tea on the table and downed it like a shot . When he was done , his eyes were clear . " Hurry up and eat . I'll take you home when you're done . " Later that night . Madeleine was panting as she lay on the bed , her whole body still flushed a faint pink . Chapter 181 The ends of her hair were damp , sinking into the soft down comforter . Roderick leaned over her , propped on his arms . He gently brushed the stray hairs from the nape of her neck , the dark passion in his eyes still lingering . " Got any strength left ?
" He asked in a low voice , the pads of his fingers barely grazing her back . Madeleine mumbled , her face buried in the pillows , " I'm spent . No more . " Roderick chuckled , pulling her over to turn and lean against him . " I was asking if you have the energy now to tell me what happened today . " Madeleine's face flushed , and she ducked her head shyly . Oh , so that's what he meant . " You're awful . You did that on purpose . " Her voice was still thick with arousal , holding no menace at all .

Chapter 181 He chuckled softly , then buried his face in the crook of her neck and inhaled deeply . " Yeah . On purpose . " His warm lips pressed against her throbbing pulse . " So , what were you really angry about ? " Madeleine moved her lips , realizing her throat was terribly dry and hoarse . Just now ... I think I yelled a little too loud . " I want to drink some water first . " " Okay ." Roderick chuckled softly and immediately got up to pour her a glass . After drinking the water , Madeleine finally regained some of her strength .
She leaned on Roderick's shoulder, rambling on about what happened today . " I just don't get it , how is that Jason still so annoying ? " Chapter 181 " If I had known Hengrong Group was his family's business , I wouldn't have even given it a second glance . " " It pisses me off so much , wasting so much of my time ..." Madeleine mumbled on for a while , but Roderick never said a word . She looked up , puzzled . " Ricki ? " Unfortunately , she looked up right into Roderick's icy eyes . He narrowed his eyes . " When did he harass you ? " " Uh . " Madeleine blinked a couple of times .
So out of everything I just said , the only thing Roderick heard was that Jason harassed me ? " That was all old stuff from ten years ago . He was really annoying back then , but luckily he went back abroad later . " Chapter 181 Roderick lifted her chin , forcing her to meet his gaze . " Why didn't you tell me . " Madeleine looked helpless , " Our relationship was pretty average back then , right ? What if I told you and you just laughed at me ? " Roderick's brow furrowed even deeper . It seemed her misunderstanding of him ran deep . How could he possibly laugh at her ?
" How exactly did he harass you . " He asked in a low voice , knowing the answer would upset him , but he couldn't help himself . He held Madeleine close , lightly twirling a few loose strands of her hair like he was playing with his property . Madeleine thought for a moment , " It was nothing much , just chasing me around saying he liked me , insisting I be his girlfriend and stuff . " Roderick's grip on her hair tightened . He tried his best to control his emotions . Chapter 181 " What else ? " " He followed me everywhere I went , came to my house every day , it was so annoying .
Later , I slapped him , and it felt so satisfying . " " Why did you slap him? " " That bastard asked if I still had my first kiss . I couldn't be bothered with him , but he insisted on cornering me against a wall , saying he was going to take my first kiss .
