waking up with my nemesis' baby novel

But Charlotte didn't say anything for a long time , and finally picked up the glass on the table . " I think I'll just drink . " Bradley's lips curved slightly . But before his smile could fully form , Charlotte's hand was pressed back down by Simon . He chuckled . " Is that question really so hard to answer ? Save Bradley . I can swim . " Charlotte laughed along with him . " That's true . " Bradley said nothing . His eyes swept over the spot where Simon had just touched Charlotte's hand , then he grabbed his glass and chugged a mouthful of alcohol . Too slow .

Chapter 252 Drinking like this is too slow . After one round of the game , he had barely drunk anything . Across from him , Madeleine was also frustrated . After one round of the game , she hadn't gotten any gossip . They were all adults , each with their own deep thoughts . If someone really wanted to hide their hidden agenda , a game of truth or dare wasn't going to trick it out of them . " Bored ? " Roderick wrapped his arm around Madeleine's waist and asked softly . " Not really . " " Want to go for a walk ? " He said , leaning close to Madeleine's earlobe , " I want to kiss you .

" Madeleine's cheeks turned red . This guy . He'd barely had two drinks , how did he get so bold ? Roderick didn't even wait for Madeleine to answer , just pulled Chapter 252 her to her feet . " We're done hanging out here . We're going for a walk . " Leaving the group in the courtyard , the couple swaggered out . " Should we really be doing this ? " Roderick raised an eyebrow . " What's wrong with it ? " " They're all still back there . " " Aren't we out here to have fun ? They can have their fun , and we need to have ours .

" Besides , she couldn't really think they came out today just to watch the drama unfold , could she ? They'd both been busy with work lately , and the little time they had at home had to be spent with their son . Roderick had been pent up for a while , and he was definitely going to use this chance to get some alone time together . Even if it was just for a little while , it would be enough . The two of them walked slowly along the cobblestone path , the faint , intoxicating scent of unknown wildflowers drifting from Chapter 252 the roadside . Roderick came to a stop .

He turned and pulled Madeleine into his arms . Madeleine tilted her head up slightly , meeting his deep eyes . The setting sun shone down , landing on his well - defined face , softening his usual coldness and painting it with an indescribable look of focus . " What ? " His gaze made Madeleine's heart skip a beat , and she couldn't help but instinctively lick her dry lips . The gesture was practically an invitation . Roderick's gaze darkened in an instant , like a bottomless vortex . " Back inside , I almost couldn't hold back .

" He raised his hand , his warm fingertips gently brushing the corner of Madeleine's mouth . Before Madeleine could even react , his lips were on hers . Chapter 252 Gentle , lingering , and filled with intense desire . He captured her lips , sucking on them delicately , as if savoring the world's most precious honey . Their breaths mingled , a mix of the crisp scent of alcohol and her faint , sweet fragrance , intoxicating . Madeleine soon melted into his arms , her arms wrapping around his neck , responding with inexperienced but passionate fervor . All her thoughts vanished .

Her world was reduced to his scorching breath , his searing lips and tongue , his strong , powerful heartbeat , and the addictive warmth of his embrace . After what felt like an eternity , Roderick pulled back slightly , resting his forehead against hers . His breathing was heavy , his eyes still dark with raw desire . Madeleine's cheeks were flushed , her eyes shimmering . She leaned against him , panting softly , her lips glistening , swollen and tempting from his kisses . " Mrs.

Livingston , " he murmured , his voice impossibly hoarse as he nuzzled her with the tip of his nose , " still bored ? " Chapter 252 Madeleine shot him a playful glare , but her gaze was so alluring it was practically dripping with charm . It held no threat , looking more like an invitation . " You're terrible ... " Roderick chuckled , his chest vibrating . He couldn't resist leaning down to peck her swollen lips a few more times , barely suppressing a deeper hunger . " I'm allowed to be a little terrible to my wife . " He didn't care what anyone else's purpose was for being here today .

He only had one thought . He was here to be romantic with his Madeleine . She had originally thought Bradley's suggestion to drink in the afternoon was just on a whim . But by the time dinner came around , Madeleine realized the man was truly crazy . He kept raising his glass , urging Roderick , Adrian , and Simon to Chapter 252 drink . The meal ended , but the drinking didn't . " Boring . " Rebecca glanced at them and sighed . The girls had the better idea . They went to the media room to watch a movie and eat snacks .
