waking up with my nemesis' baby novel

Chapter 261 " Next time , we shouldn't let them drink so much . Mr. Adler and Bradley drank quite a bit last night , didn't they ? " Simon gave a dry laugh from the side . " Yeah , I completely blacked out . " " I remember Bradley being a lightweight too . I'm surprised he managed to make it back to his room . " " Dr. Kline can hold his liquor a little better than I can . " " Is that so ? " Madeleine smiled , glancing at Charlotte's expression . It was obvious that when she mentioned Bradley , Charlotte's eyes darted away for a moment . " I won't keep you any longer .

Text me when you get there." " Okay . You should get back inside , it's windy out . " Charlotte waved to Madeleine and got into the car with Simon . Chapter 261 As the car drove away , Madeleine stood there , stroking her chin . She felt that beneath Charlotte's calm expression , there was a hint of some indescribable ... annoyance ? Yes , that was it . The subtle irritation of not wanting to talk about something but having to remain polite . Between her and Bradley ... It seemed like another doomed relationship . After Charlotte left , Bradley finally cheered up .

He started playing a board game with Kevin , and he seemed to be doing okay . Madeleine went over and hugged Kevin . " Kev , are you winning ? " " No. " Kevin kept a straight face , staring intently at the board . Bradley grinned , tossing a game piece in his hand and catching it . " Your uncle here is an unbeatable board game master . You'll have to practice more if you want to beat me . " Chapter 261 Madeleine was speechless . Was beating a four - year - old really something to be proud of ? Unconvinced , she held Kevin and played a couple of rounds against Bradley .

She didn't know how to play Go , but how could she not know how to play this board game ? Two games later , Madeleine was utterly defeated . Alright , she had to admit that Bradley was indeed an expert . " Geez , you're no good at this either . Why don't you call the kid's dad over ? The three of you can take me on . " Madeleine pursed her lips , whispered something in Kevin's ear, and the little guy nodded and left . Madeleine rolled up her sleeves . " One more game ." " Fine , fine . I'll let you lose one more time . " This time , Madeleine played more seriously .

She painstakingly set a trap , waiting for Bradley to fall into it . Chapter 261 Before he could notice , Madeleine suddenly spoke up : " Charlotte doesn't want you anymore . " Bradley's hand faltered , and the game piece he was holding clattered onto the board . " Madeleine ! " Realizing Madeleine was deliberately trying to mess with his head , Bradley shot her an annoyed glare . Madeleine giggled , her face full of cunning satisfaction . " Playing it here , are you ? " She watched the piece that had fallen from Bradley's hand bounce twice and land in a nearby spot .

She immediately placed her piece . " I win . " Bradley's face was dark , and he looked furious . " Oh , come on , why so upset over losing one game ? " " You did that on purpose , didn't you ? " Chapter 261 " Yep , yep . " Madeleine nodded , not hiding her thoughts at all . She pouted and said irritably , " If it weren't for you , do you think I would have lost that bet to Rebecca ?" " What bet ? " " About you and Isabella , of course . We bet on whether you two were a real couple . " Bradley opened his mouth , his Adam's apple bobbing up and down . " We don't look like a real couple?

" " Heh . " Madeleine's lips twitched into a smirk . " She seems more interested in my son than in you . " Bradley : ... He leaned back in his chair , troubled , and didn't say a word . From the very beginning , when he asked Isabella to come and Chapter 261 act the part , Bradley had considered the day he would meet Charlotte . He hadn't thought that much about it at the time . His mind was filled with the thought that if Charlotte really found a boyfriend , then he would find one too , just to show her how well he was doing . But last night , Charlotte really did show up , and with Simon .

Watching them stand together , that childish thought of revenge in Bradley's heart shattered completely , leaving only embarrassment and frustration . The alcohol he'd chugged burned his stomach , and even more , it made his heart pound with panic . Charlotte didn't even spare him more than a few glances . That complete disregard was more painful to him than any mockery . He knew from that moment that he had lost . He couldn't keep up the act . His heart and his eyes were filled with nothing but Charlotte . " So what ? " Chapter 261 Bradley's voice was a little hoarse .

He stared at the reset chessboard but didn't make a move . " Are you here to laugh at me now ? " The sly smile on Madeleine's face faded . She looked at Bradley . His usual playful , devil - may - care attitude was gone . Replaced by a rare exhaustion and ... disappointment .
