waking up with my nemesis' baby novel

aught off guard , Madeleine met his deep eyes , a turbulent undercurrent swirling within them that made her forget how to react for a moment . " What's wrong ? " " Mrs. Livingston ." His voice dropped , laced with a barely perceptible accusation , " Is your attention , perhaps , in the wrong place ? " Madeleine blinked , not yet understanding . " Huh ? I'm making plans with someone . I'll get to see them tomorrow ... " Before she could finish , Roderick's kiss had already landed , sealing all her unspoken words .

The kiss was undeniably dominant , with a hint of punishment , stealing her breath and instantly sweeping away all thoughts of her best friend's gossip and her friend's love life . " Mmph ... " Chapter 240 Madeleine let out a subconscious soft moan , her phone slipping from her hand onto the sofa . She was held firmly in his embrace , able to do nothing but passively accept the sudden , passionate kiss . Her brain slowly became deprived of oxygen , but her body honestly softened , her arms involuntarily wrapping around his neck .

Only when she was breathless , her eyes glistening , did Roderick pull back slightly . His forehead rested against hers , his breathing also a little heavy . His thumb caressed her slightly swollen lips , his voice hoarse , " Is the gossip more interesting than me ? Hmm ? " Only then did Madeleine belatedly realize that her dear Ricki was jealous , annoyed that she had neglected him , She couldn't help but let out a chuckle , her heart bubbling with sweetness as she deliberately teased him : " Oh , it's not the same . Gossip is food for the soul , and you are ... " Chapter 240 " What am I ?

" Roderick narrowed his eyes , closing in menacingly. Madeleine laughed and tried to dodge , but he only held her tighter . She leaned close to his ear , her breath warm and fragrant , her voice soft and alluring , " You're my life ... Mmph... " Before the words were out , she was kissed again . This time , the kiss was lingering and urgent , filled with obvious desire . Roderick swept her up into his arms and strode toward the bedroom . " Ah ! " Madeleine let out a small cry , instinctively tightening her arms around his neck , " My phone ... I haven't finished making the plans ...

" " We'll deal with it tomorrow . " Roderick's voice was impossibly hoarse . Chapter 240 He kicked open the bedroom door , gently placed her on the soft bed , and then covered her with his body , his shadow completely enveloping her . " Now , Mrs. Livingston , you only need to focus on me ." Fiery kisses fell again , from her lips to her neck , leaving a trail of suggestive marks . All of Madeleine's protests and thoughts were shattered , and she could only sink under his lead , her fingertips digging into his broad back .

Outside , the moonlight was hazy ; inside , the passion was in full bloom . Madeleine woke up feeling sore all over , and as soon as she opened her eyes , she met Roderick's satisfied and gentle gaze . Remembering last night's wildness , her cheeks flushed . She shot him a playful glare , only to receive a deeper good morning kiss in return . " Hurry and get up , we still have to go to the private mountain lodge ! " Chapter 240 Madeleine pushed him . Her legs might have felt like jelly , but she was out of bed in a flash . Roderick gave a wry smile .

Watching the drama unfold really is a primal motivation . The family got everything packed and ready to head to the private mountain lodge . The car drove smoothly along the winding mountain road , the scenery outside pleasant . Madeleine watched her son , who was excitedly looking all around , and suddenly remembered something . She spoke to the little guy , her tone gentle but with a hint of seriousness that was hard to detect : " Kev , Mommy wants to tell you something . " " Hmm ? " Kevin turned his little head , blinking his big eyes , " Go ahead , Mommy .

" Chapter 240 " Sweetheart , a lot of uncles and aunts will be coming to play with us today . If ... um , I mean if , one of the uncles or aunts , like Mr. Shaw or Ms. Whitman , asks you to go play with your toys or watch cartoons in your room by yourself ... " Madeleine chose her words carefully, trying to sound as natural as possible . " You have to be a good boy and listen , and just play by yourself for a little while , okay ? Don't suddenly run out to find Mommy and Daddy or the other uncles and aunts . Give them a little ... um ... time to talk alone , can you do that ?

" Kevin tilted his head , looking like he only half - understood . " Why ? Can't I play with everyone ? " Madeleine was at a loss for words for a moment , her cheeks feeling a little warm . She couldn't very well tell her son that if the adults were up to something not suitable for kids , he needed to stay away . Chapter 240 Madeleine gave a dry laugh . " It's normal for kids not to understand adult stuff . " " You'll get it when you're older .
