waking up with my nemesis' baby novel

Chapter 207 " Okay . " Madeleine thought Rebecca was acting strange today . To be precise , she'd been strange for the past few days . On the way back , Roderick had even mentioned that he thought Rebecca was probably in a bad mood , and they should go check on her when they had time . Well , now they didn't have to . She had come to them . Madeleine agreed and went to call Roy , asking him to get the guest room ready . " We'll sleep in the guest room tonight . " Rebecca beamed , unable to resist reaching out and pinching Madeleine's cheek . " How are you so cute ?

Your son must get his cuteness from you . " Kevin was delighted to hear that , and he secretly curled his lips into a smile . Chapter 207 When he looked up , he noticed his dad's expression was getting darker and darker . Hmm , Dad doesn't seem very happy . After a bit of chatting , Madeleine still hadn't realized the gravity of the situation . She turned her head and was surprised to see Roderick still there . " Don't you have work to do ? Why aren't you going ? You'll end up pulling another all - nighter . " Roderick frowned . Rebecca leaned back and peeked over .

" Exactly , work is important . The whole company is counting on you right now . " Roderick took a deep breath , swallowing his frustration . He nodded and went upstairs . As soon as he got there , he sent a text to Madeleine , asking her to bring him a glass of water . " That guy , he really knows how to order people around . " Rebecca pouted . " Just have Kirsten bring it up . Let's us chat . " " I'll be right back . Kirsten already took Kevin to his room to Chapter 207 sleep . " Madeleine chuckled and got up to get the water .

How could she not see that a certain someone was just using the water as an excuse to see her ? Carrying the glass of water , Madeleine knocked on the study door . " Here's your water ! " " Mmm , come in . " Hearing the sound from inside , Madeleine pushed the door open . Just as she pushed the door open a crack , a large hand suddenly reached out , grabbed her wrist , and pulled her inside . Madeleine let out a small gasp . By the time she realized what was happening , Roderick had already pinned her against the study door . She was so startled that she almost dropped the glass in her hand .

Luckily , Roderick reached out and steadied it , and only a couple Chapter 207 of drops of water spilled out . " What are you doing ? " Madeleine chided , looking up at him with gentle annoyance . The more she acted like this , the more Roderick couldn't take it . A look like that ... wasn't she just asking to be kissed ? Roderick's possessiveness peaked , and he said with annoyance , " Do you really have to be with her tonight? " Madeleine came to her senses and couldn't help but chuckle . " So that's what you're upset about . Rebecca is your good friend , and a work partner . Are you ...

jealous of her ? " Madeleine couldn't believe she'd even said it . " Ricki , Rebecca is a girl . Why would you be jealous of a girl ? " Roderick didn't say anything , just stared at her intently , the undisguised love in his eyes spilling out . He raised his hand , cupping half of Madeleine's delicate face , his voice so low it was barely audible . Chapter 207 " Yeah , why would I be jealous of her ... " His fingers moved up slowly , and Roderick's thumb caressed Madeleine's lips a couple of times . " It's not really jealousy .

It's just , I can't stand it when someone else takes your time away from me . " He had lost that love once before . So now , he knew better than anyone how to cherish it . Madeleine's heart skipped a beat , and before she could react , Roderick had already leaned in and kissed her . Roderick moved gently, not going deep , pulling back each time he was about to push forward . This gentle teasing soon became too much for Madeleine to handle . She let out a soft sound , put the cup on the shelf beside her , then wrapped her arms around Roderick's neck and pulled him in for a kiss .

She had just finished eating grapes , so the kiss had a faint grape aroma . Roderick loved it , wishing he could devour her Chapter 207 right then and there . They kissed for a good while . " Mmm ... " Madeleine struggled and patted Roderick's shoulder . Roderick got the hint and pulled back . Madeleine's cheeks were red as she stared into his eyes , " Didn't you say you were thirsty and wanted water ? " " I just had some . It was grape - flavored . " " Ricki ! " Madeleine , both shy and pleased , playfully punched him lightly again . " I'm not messing around with you anymore .

Rebecca is still downstairs waiting for me . " Roderick's good mood , which had just brightened a little . because of the kiss , sank again . He sighed .
