waking up with my nemesis' baby novel

After thinking for a moment , she felt guilty . " How about I find a family - friendly restaurant and have a nice dinner with our son tonight ? " " Alright . " Madeleine stretched lazily , whining that she should get up . She said it a couple of times but had no intention of actually getting up . " Still not getting up ? It's time to eat . " " Carry me . " As she spoke , Madeleine reached her hands out toward Roderick . Roderick stared at her for a moment , the amusement in his eyes gradually turning dark and deep .

Madeleine realized what that look meant and her eyes Chapter 183 immediately widened in alarm . No longer lazy , she bolted upright in bed . " Never mind , never mind ! I'll get up myself . Wouldn't want to trouble you . " If he got his hands on her , getting out of bed would be delayed by another hour or two . In the afternoon , Roderick went to the office and was cornered by Rebecca . " What was up with you this morning ? Weren't we supposed to meet the investors to discuss the new project ? I had to face them all by myself for two hours !

" Roderick walked past her into his office , his expression unchanged . " I trust your abilities . " After all , when it came to money , no one was more professional than Rebecca . She rolled her eyes and then sent him the organized files . " I've compiled the investors ' questions . They're still very Chapter 183 interested in investing , but they're holding back because of the company's recent negative press . " As she spoke , Rebecca raised an eyebrow . " The bidding for the South City project is coming up soon . Isn't it time to reel in your big net ? " " Mmm ." " Good .

Besides , I've been annoyed with that Edward for a long time . " Just hearing the name brought an uncontrollable look of disgust to Roderick's eyes . Noticing a cut on Rebecca's hand , he casually asked how she got it . " Oh , this ? " Rebecca looked down at it . " I was helping organize test tubes at the lab yesterday , and I accidentally fell . Cut it on some glass . " " How are things going between you and Adrian ? " " What ' going ' ? " Chapter 183 Rebecca glanced up at him . " I told you not to assume things .

I just want to get to know him better so I can ask why he turned down my family's invitation . " A teasing smile played on Roderick's lips . " By the way , I'm taking tomorrow off . " " Tomorrow ? " Roderick glanced at the computer next to him . His schedule for tomorrow was displayed on the desktop . One item was attending a medical research seminar . As an elite in the finance industry , he was invited to attend as a cross- industry guest . If he remembered correctly , Adrian was one of the speakers . Roderick tapped his fingers on the desk . He had tired Madeleine out last night .

It would be a good chance to take her out to see something interesting and relax . After talking about work for a while longer , Rebecca got ready to leave . Roderick suddenly stopped her . Chapter 183 " Did you go with Madeleine to Hengrong International Plaza yesterday afternoon ? " " Yeah , your wife said she wanted to rent an office , so I went to help her check it out . It's not bad . " Roderick narrowed his eyes , leaning back in his office chair . His long fingers tapped lightly on the desk , his gaze gradually turning dangerous .

" Jason , the golden child of Hengrong , do you know him ? " His voice was low , with a hint of coldness . Rebecca raised an eyebrow , keenly sensing the change in atmosphere . " Jason ? " She thought for a moment . " I've heard of him , but I don't know him well . The guy has a bad reputation . He acts all arrogant because his family's rich , but he's always been abroad ." " He's back . " Roderick's eyes darkened , and the tapping of his fingertips stopped . Rebecca studied his expression and suddenly realized , " Wait , Chapter 183 did he offend Madeleine ?

" Roderick didn't answer , but his eyes said it all . It was more than just offending her ; he even got a slap from his wife . Rebecca knew that with Roderick's fiercely protective nature , there was no way he would let Jason get away with it easily . " So , what's the plan ? How are you going to get even for Madeleine ? " " The Klein Family has expanded very quickly these past few years . They've secured several municipal projects along the inner - city ring roads . Their debt ratio can't be low . " Rebecca nodded . " Got it . Auditing the books . I'm an expert at this .

" She stood up and snapped her fingers . " Just wait . I'll have news for you later . " " Thanks . " Rebecca had already turned away , but she couldn't help turning back to tease him . Chapter 183 " This is really something , hearing the word ' thanks ' from the great Mr. Livingston . " Roderick gave her a cool glance , and Rebecca immediately took the hint , zipping her lips before turning and leaving the office .
