waking up with my nemesis' baby novel

Chapter 257 She came in and scanned the room . It was empty . The bed didn't even look like it had been slept in . But Rebecca's luggage was definitely on the table nearby . Madeleine was completely baffled . Wait ... What gossip did she miss last night ?! Hungover . Headache . That was the only thought in Bradley's mind . He returned to what should have been his own room . The bed was neatly made , and there seemed to be a faint scent of Charlotte in the air . It was very faint , but Bradley could still smell it .

He chugged a large glass of water , squinted , and tried to recall Chapter 257 what exactly happened last night . Last night , after getting Simon drunk and prying the information about that doll from him , Bradley couldn't wait a second longer and stumbled to Charlotte's room . At that hour , Charlotte was already in bed . Of course , she wasn't asleep yet . She was also upset about everything that had happened during the day. Knowing that Bradley and Simon were still outside having a drinking contest , she wanted to go check on them several times . But she was worried ...

If she showed up , the situation would probably get even more out of control . As her mind was racing , someone knocked on the door . To be precise , they were banging on the door . The force was so strong it startled Charlotte . Worried she would wake the others , she quickly turned on the light and got out of bed . Chapter 257 " Who is it ? " " Me . " It was Bradley's voice . Charlotte's palm on the doorknob was sweaty . She didn't open the door right away , her heart racing . " Open the door . " Bradley's voice was, muffled , and he was making a lot of noise .

If she didn't open the door , she had no idea if he'd start making a scene . Charlotte knew he wasn't a good drinker , and he was probably drunk by now . With no other choice , Charlotte could only open the door . As soon as she opened the door , Bradley practically fell in , and a startled Charlotte could only reach out to catch him . " You ... " Charlotte gasped , unable to get the words out . So heavy . Bradley was six - foot - one ; Charlotte really couldn't hold him up Chapter 257 without using all her strength . He reeked of alcohol and felt hot .

Charlotte gritted her teeth , struggling to get him to stand up straight . " Don't ... don't move around . I'll help you inside so you can sit ." The two of them remained in that awkward , intimate embrace , slowly shuffling inside . By the time they reached the bed , Bradley stumbled , falling onto it and pinning Charlotte underneath him . " Ugh ... " Pinned beneath him , Charlotte felt a sharp pain and let out an involuntary grunt . Her delicate brows furrowed tightly . That pained sound seemed to flip a switch in Bradley's hazy, drunken mind . His heavy body stiffened for a moment .

Then , he wobbled and managed to prop himself up on his arms , taking some of the weight off Charlotte . He struggled to focus his hazy eyes , looking down at the Chapter 257 woman beneath him . In his bloodshot eyes , there was a look of dazed , almost instinctual concern . " Charlotte . " His voice was slurred , thick with the smell of alcohol , but it had somehow softened . Like a big dog that did something wrong and was afraid of its owner's scolding , he asked clumsily and anxiously , " Did I hurt you ? " He kept repeating " I'm sorry " and " Don't be mad .

" His warm , alcohol - laced breath tickled the crook of Charlotte's neck , making her uncomfortable and causing her heart to skip a few beats . This was a side of Bradley she had never seen before . All his thorns and pretenses were gone , leaving only a raw , almost childlike dependence and a desire to please . Charlotte's heart felt like it had been gently bumped , leaving a soft , aching feeling . Chapter 257 She had intended to push him away , but her hands had lost their strength without her realizing it .

" It's okay , " she heard her own voice , a little hoarse and with a faint , almost imperceptible tremble . " You ... get up first , you're too heavy . " " Oh ... okay ... " Bradley mumbled in agreement , trying to push himself up . But his limbs were weak from the alcohol , and after a few wobbly attempts , he just kept falling back onto her . Each unintentional collision made Charlotte's face flush a deeper shade of red . Gritting her teeth , she simply shoved Bradley to the side . He rolled over and lay on his side , finally allowing Charlotte to get free .

She quickly sat up , straightening her messy clothes and hair . " How much did you drink ? You even came to the wrong room . I'll go get Isabella to take care of you . " Chapter 257 Charlotte tried to leave , but Bradley grabbed her hand . His eyes were hazy , and his voice was hoarse . " Charlotte , don't leave me .
