waking up with my nemesis' baby novel

Chapter 249 Rebecca nervously picked a melon , only to hear Adrian burst out laughing . " Can you believe what a jerk he is ? His own butler and staff grew these . He tricked me , made me think I was stealing! " Rebecca angrily carried a pile of melons inside , and when she saw Charlotte and the woman beside her , her eyes immediately lit up . Whoa , now this was the real gossip . Except for Simon and Isabella , everyone else knew each other , so there was no worry about the atmosphere getting awkward . " Charlotte , you guys probably haven't eaten since you got here .

Quick , have some BBQ skewers . " Isabella brought the plate over to them . The young woman was sweet and diligent , which made her very likable . " Bradley grilled all of these . He's really good at it . " Bradley ? Chapter 249 Charlotte took the plate , glanced smilingly at Isabella , and then at Bradley . Looks like the last blind date was a success . The sun came out a bit in the afternoon , making the yard feel warm and cozy . Kevin yawned , saying he was sleepy and wanted to take a nap . Madeleine had offered to go with him , but the little guy was being very good .

" Mom , you go have fun with your friends . I can go by myself . " " Oh , Kev , how could Mommy let you do that ? I'll go with you . " The little guy beamed , genuinely seeming to think it was no big deal . " You really don't have to , Mom . I'm a big kid now . I'm going into my last year of preschool next year , I can go by myself ! " Madeleine's heart warmed up when she heard that . This little guy was so thoughtful . Chapter 249 She bent down and planted a smooch on her son's soft little cheek . " Such a good boy , Kev .

You can go by yourself then , just call for Mom if you need anything ." " Okay . " Kevin nodded obediently , and hugging the little stuffed toy he'd brought from home , he pattered off into the house by himself . Madeleine watched her son return to his room before she immediately spun around , her eyes flashing as her gaze locked onto the three couples in the yard ... oh , no , the extremely complicated web of relationships . With the kids not around , the adults could be less guarded with their conversation . Bradley's gaze swept over Simon . " What do you do , Mr. Adler ?

" " Same profession as your sister . " " Oh , a lawyer too . " Bradley nodded , " Lawyers probably don't have to entertain clients much , right ? Can you hold your liquor ? " Chapter 249 Simon froze for a second , not quite getting it . " My tolerance ? " Bradley turned to look at Adrian . " Professor Shaw , you got any alcohol in this manor ? " Adrian put down his teacup and nodded , " There's some in the cellar . Not a huge collection , but they're all good wines .

" After speaking , his gaze from behind his glasses swept over Bradley's tense profile and Simon's slightly awkward expression . With just one glance , the ever - so - sharp Professor Shaw figured out what was going on , a knowing smile appearing on his face . " What , feel like having a drink ? " " It's rare for so many of us to be here , it's lively . We can't just sit around and talk . " Adrian nodded , " I'll go make the arrangements then . " After Adrian went inside , Rebecca leaned over to Madeleine and scoffed .

Chapter 249 " This guy said he was just coming back to the manor to grab something . What , not in a hurry to get his stuff and leave anymore ? " " Rebecca , you're hilarious ." Madeleine couldn't stop laughing , leaning on Roderick's shoulder , looking like she was handing out free PDA . Well , what can you do ? They were the only real married couple there . Seeing the situation , Simon awkwardly adjusted his glasses . " Um , I'm not much of a drinker . Maybe you guys should go ahead . " " How can that be okay ? The guy ... my sister found .

I can't judge his character right now , so I at least have to see what he's like when he's drunk . " The jab in his words was too obvious . The air in the courtyard instantly became tense again . The faint smile on Charlotte's face vanished , her brow furrowing slightly . " Bradley . " Chapter 249 She just said his name , with a hint of disapproving warning . But Bradley acted like he didn't hear her , still staring at Simon , his gaze stubborn , even with a touch of a teenager's brutish unreasonableness .

He was holding in a vicious anger , a fire that burned his insides , and he just wanted a way to let it out . Alcohol , and getting this suddenly - appeared " boyfriend " drunk , became his most immediate goal . Simon pushed up his glasses , and faced with this sudden hostility , he quickly regained his composure . He smiled , his tone still gentle , but not without a sense of propriety . " My tolerance for alcohol really isn't great , but since Bradley wants to drink , I'll naturally keep him company .
