waking up with my nemesis' baby novel

He was terrified of losing her . Experiencing that kind of fear just once was enough to brand it into his very bones . So when their son innocently said he wanted a little sister , the sealed - up , terrifying memories burst forth , causing him to nearly lose control . Madeleine's heart felt like it was soaking in warm acid , swelling and aching . She finally , completely understood his extreme reaction back then . It wasn't that he didn't love the child , but that he loved her too much . Loved her so much he couldn't bear even the slightest risk of losing her .

" I'm so sorry ." Her nose tingled , not because she'd done anything wrong , but Chapter 302 because her heart ached for the psychological trauma he'd carried alone for so many years . " I made you worry for so long . " " Silly . " Roderick pulled her deeper into his embrace , resting his chin on the top of her head , his voice muffled . " I'm the one who should be sorry . I failed to protect you , I let you suffer so much . " Madeleine shook her head forcefully in his arms . " It wasn't your fault . " It's a hurdle every mother might face ; hers just happened to be especially dangerous .

She looked up , saw his still - tense jawline , and deliberately spoke in a lighthearted tone . " But look , I'm perfectly fine now , aren't I ? Alive and kicking , and I can still piss you off ! " Roderick looked down at her forced , cheerful smile , and the gloom in his eyes finally lifted a little . He couldn't help but lean down and kiss her forehead : " Yeah . It's best that you're okay ." Chapter 302 In the following days , the atmosphere at the Livingston family villa became exceptionally ... warm , even a little overly so .

It was as if that dream had opened up Madeleine's energy channels , and many forgotten details and emotions came rushing back . A huge sense of guilt and the precious feeling of having them back drove her to want to give Roderick and her son the best of everything in the world . Towards Roderick , she was so considerate it was almost scary . When Roderick came downstairs , breakfast wasn't just ready ; it was prepared precisely to his preferred level of soft - boiled egg and coffee temperature .

It also came with an energetic good - morning kiss and some over - the - top compliments like , " Hubby , you look so handsome today . " When he went to the office , she would even call him during her two - minute dance breaks to check in . " Are you tired ? " " Remember to drink water ! " Chapter 302 " Did Gerry remind you to eat ? " Sometimes the call would come right in the middle of a meeting , and Roderick would never hesitate to answer . Madeleine's voice would echo in the quiet conference room , and even Gerry couldn't help but feel embarrassed for his boss .

But the boss himself was quite pleased and didn't feel embarrassed at all . As for her son , Kevin , Madeleine had switched to " unlimited spoiling " mode . The snacks that were once restricted were now allowed in a small portion every day , and she would even eat with him , calling it " doubling the joy of sharing . " The educational cartoons he used to have to watch were now replaced with his favorite dinosaur team show , and Madeleine would even endure the boredom to discuss with him which dinosaur was stronger .

The bedtime stories increased from one book to three , told with lively expression and even role - playing , and she often ended up falling asleep before her son did . What confused little Kevin the most was the way his mom Chapter 302 looked at him , always filled with a certain ... um ... something he couldn't describe . It was as if he were a priceless , long - lost treasure , making her want to lean in for kisses and hugs while looking at him , muttering , " Mommy's precious Kev . " At first , Kevin really enjoyed this treatment .

Unlimited snacks , freedom to watch cartoons , and his mom with him all the time - it was paradise ! But after a few days , the little guy was a bit confused . Especially when , for the third time , Madeleine teared up , clapped enthusiastically , and praised him for successfully eating a meal with a fork on his own , " You're amazing , sweetheart ! A true genius ! " Kevin held his fork , his little face covered with huge question marks and a hint of unease .

His dad had said that boys need to be independent and strong , and they can't always be spoiled by their mothers , or they'll become a mama's boy . But now ... Chapter 302 What was wrong with Mom ? Finally , when Madeleine insisted on feeding him fruit , looking at him with that mushy " Mommy loves you so much " gaze , Kevin couldn't take it anymore . He reached out his little hand , touched Madeleine's forehead , then his own , and then tilted his head and asked in a cute , childish voice , very seriously : " Mommy , are you sick ? Do you have a fever ? Is your head dizzy ?
