waking up with my nemesis' baby novel

Chapter 243 She nodded to herself . " Based on my experience from all the TV shows and novels I've watched , yep , it must be like that ! " Rebecca scoffed and shook her head . " I don't think so . " " Huh ? " Madeleine was confused . " Why ? " " They have zero romantic chemistry ." Rebecca said bluntly . She narrowed her eyes , like a sly cat . " Don't believe me ? " " How about we make a bet ? " Madeleine glanced over again , confused . Isabella was cute , and the eye contact she just had with Bradley was pretty sweet to watch . It felt ... like it should be just as she thought .

Chapter 243 " Bet on what ? " " Let's bet on whether they're a couple or not . " " I say they're not . " " If you lose ... " She leaned closer to Madeleine , a cunning smile on her face . " Next month , for the new collection fashion shows from the big brands , you'll pay for whatever I want . " Madeleine raised an eyebrow . " And if you lose ? " " Name your price . " Rebecca shrugged . " Deal ! " Madeleine held out her hand , and they high - fived to seal the deal . Right after the high - five , Madeleine realized something was off . What did Roderick say last night ?

He said if they were going to Chapter 243 watch the drama unfold , they should go for the big story , so he also invited Bradley's sister over . Crap ! Madeleine shot up from the swing . Fuck ! How could she have almost forgotten , Bradley has a sister complex ! After sitting for a while , the butler asked about their plans for the afternoon . Madeleine wanted to try having a barbecue , so the butler immediately arranged for a grill and ingredients . " I remember our high school organized a barbecue trip once , do you guys remember ?

" Madeleine brushed oil on the BBQ skewers and asked Roderick and Bradley excitedly . They both nodded , but Roderick didn't look too happy . " I remember . You kicked me . " Chapter 243 Madeleine's hands stopped , her eyes widening . " When did I ... " " I can vouch for it , you definitely kicked him . " Bradley was holding back a laugh on the side . " I was there too , I saw it with my own eyes . After you kicked him , Roderick took a big fall , and by the time he got up , you had already run off .

" Madeleine blinked a couple of times as the memory came back , and she couldn't help but burst out laughing . " I remember now ! " Her eyes sparkled with a bit of mischief . " It was a special situation ! " She explained while flipping the BBQ skewers , trying hard to hold back her laughter . " We were split into groups to find firewood that day , right ? You two weren't far from me . " " I happened to see a snake , coiled in the grass right behind you , flicking its tongue out , really close to your leg ! " Madeleine made a gesture . Chapter 243 " I was scared stiff .

I wanted to shout , but I was afraid of startling the snake . What if it bit you ? " She glanced at Roderick and puffed out her chest , looking completely justified . " Pushing you with my hands would've been too slow ! " " In the heat of the moment , I just ... I just sent you flying with a kick ! " " See ? It worked great ! " The more she spoke , the more she felt she was right . " The snake got scared off , and you were safe ! " Bradley was bent over laughing beside them . " That's right ! It worked great ! Roderick was on the ground , stunned for a while .

He thought you'd suddenly gone crazy and were trying to murder him ! " Roderick picked up a skewer of grilled mushrooms , his face expressionless . Chapter 243 " So I'm supposed to thank you for that ? " Madeleine sidled up to him with a grin , holding a freshly grilled , sizzling chicken wing to his lips . " Oh , come on , that's ancient history ! Try this . It's my apology ! " " We were mortal enemies back then . How could I just warn you ? That would've been so embarrassing ! " Roderick looked at her ingratiating smile , then at the chicken wing offered to his lips .

In the end , he lowered his head and took a bite . " It's not bad . " he commented lightly . Madeleine immediately beamed . Bradley started teasing from the side . " Whoa , is that all it takes to win you over ? Roderick , you have no principles ! " Chapter 243 Roderick shot him a look . " Still better than some people ." Their eyes met , and Bradley instantly realized he was talking about him and Charlotte . He was immediately choked up and couldn't say a word . Tsk ... This guy really knows how to hit where it hurts . Madeleine's enthusiasm came and went quickly .

After grilling a few skewers to fill herself up , she said she couldn't stand the greasy smoke anymore . " Rebecca , want to go for a walk outside ? " " Okay . " Rebecca went to wash her hands and asked Isabella if she wanted to join . She was getting a buzz from a card game with Kevin and politely declined .
