waking up with my nemesis' baby novel

Chapter 239 " Okay , please let me know when you find the number . " After hanging up , Leona took another deep look at Madeleine on the screen . She slammed the laptop shut . After the arts festival , Kevin had a few days off , and Madeleine planned to use this time to ask Rebecca and the others out for a meal . And to get some gossip , of course . Ever since she found out Adrian had gone to Rebecca's house last time , Madeleine had been pestering Rebecca about it . She would always stammer and wouldn't give a clear answer .

When Madeleine wanted to pin her down for a proper explanation , she just went on a business trip out of town and only got back yesterday . Chapter 239 That's not acceptable ! As Rebecca's dear bestie , Madeleine had to protect her love life . After texting Rebecca , Madeleine was a little worried . " Ricki , we have to figure out a way to get Professor Shaw to come too . Do you have any good ideas ? " " No. " Roderick said bluntly , " I don't know him well . " Madeleine sighed in disappointment . " But .

" Roderick spoke up again , and Madeleine quickly turned her head excitedly to look at him . " Why do we need to know him that well ? " He took out his phone , found Adrian's number , and called it without hesitation . Madeleine rushed over to listen , and Roderick pulled her onto his lap . Chapter 239 The call connected quickly , and Adrian's calm voice came through the speakerphone . " Mr. Livingston ? " " Professor Shaw , hope you've been well . " " You're too kind , Mr. Livingston .

Is there something I can help you with ?" Roderick glanced at Madeleine's expectant little look , raised an eyebrow , and said , " Here's the thing , my wife mentioned she's planning to invite a few friends to relax tomorrow . I heard your family has a private mountain lodge in The Alps with a nice view ? I was wondering if we could borrow it for a couple of days . " There was a brief silence on the other end of the line . Adrian probably didn't expect Roderick to know so much about his family background . And he certainly didn't expect him to ask to borrow it so directly .

A moment later , Adrian's voice came through again , with a barely perceptible hint of resignation and amusement : Chapter 239 " Mr. Livingston , you're certainly well - informed . My mother does . have a small house in The Alps . It's usually empty . Since Mrs. Livingston wants to have a get - together with friends , I'll contact the housekeeper to arrange it . " " No need to trouble Professor Shaw to arrange it personally . " Roderick said in a steady tone , " Then thank you , Mr. Shaw . " " You're welcome . " The call ended .

Madeleine blinked a couple of times , looking at her phone , then at Roderick's . " That's it ? " Roderick nodded . Madeleine's eyes widened . " No ... what's the point of this ? My goal wasn't to borrow the estate , it was to trick Professor Shaw into coming over . " " Silly girl . " Roderick flicked Madeleine's forehead with two fingers . " The smell of fish is in the air . Are you worried the greedy cat won't show up ? " Chapter 239 Madeleine froze for a second , then slapped her thigh . " Right ! Ricki , you're really something else !

" Roderick raised an eyebrow but just smiled without saying a word . Sigh , they were both men . How could he not understand another man ? " Let's invite a few more people . What about Bradley ? What's he been up to lately ? " Madeleine snatched the phone from Roderick's hand and started scrolling through Bradley's moments . After she was done , her jaw almost hit the floor . " Isn't this the blind date my mom set him up with ! Are they really together ? " For the past few days , Bradley's moments were all about his blind date , Isabella .

The two of them were eating together , taking pictures , and checking in at various spots . Chapter 239 Tsk , it really looks like they're dating . " Whether they're together or not , we'll know if we just invite him over . " " True , I'll message him right now . " Roderick watched Madeleine's excited expression , ready to watch the drama unfold , and pondered for a moment before saying : " Want some even juicier gossip ? " " Yes ! " Roderick chuckled lightly , scrolled through his Facebook friends , and found Charlotte's profile . " Is that ... Bradley's sister ? You two know each other .

" " We're acquainted . I helped her with a small favor before , and she helped me with some corporate legal issues . " Roderick invited all of them to the estate in one go . A grand Underworld performance was about to begin . Chapter 230 " Hehe , okay , I'll resend the address to Rebecca and tell her to come early . " Roderick watched her , so completely absorbed that she seemed to have forgotten he existed , and a small seed of dissatisfaction at being ignored began to sprout in his heart . He reached out , his long fingers gently taking Madeleine's chin and turning her face toward him .
