waking up with my nemesis' baby novel

Chapter 336 His hand was large with well - defined knuckles . It was usually warm and strong , but now it felt a little cold . . She pressed his hand against her cheek , trying to warm it with her own body heat . " Roderick . " She called his name in a low voice , as soft as a whisper . " Bradley said you're just too tired and a good sleep will fix it . So sleep well . I'll be right here with you . " She rambled on for a bit , about how Kevin was being good , how Mrs. Miller's condition was stable , and how he didn't need to worry about the company with Gerry looking after it ...

Her voice gradually faded as she went on . The constant mental stress and emotional roller coaster had left Madeleine utterly exhausted . She had only planned to rest by his bedside for a bit , but an overwhelming sleepiness washed over her . She gently rested her head on her folded arms , her cheek Chapter 336 against the back of Roderick's hand , feeling the faint beat of his pulse , a rhythm that seemed to have a reassuring magic . Her eyelids grew heavier and heavier , and finally , she fell into a deep sleep .

In her drowsy sleep , she felt as if she had fallen into a sun- drenched afternoon . The noisy chirping of cicadas filled her ears , and the air was thick with the sweet scent of gardenias and ... a faint , familiar smell of disinfectant ? No , that smell was quickly overpowered by the scent of fresh grass on campus . She looked down and saw she was actually wearing that ugly standardized school uniform , clutching a slightly wrinkled SAT admission ticket , damp with sweat .

Around her were classmates cheering , jumping for joy , and throwing their textbooks at each other to celebrate their " liberation . " Wait , this scene ... is this the day the SATS ended ? The setting sun was warm , and a gentle breeze carried the Chapter 336 smell of the rubber track and youthful sweat . Madeleine was hunched over the freezer at the school tuck shop , torn between an Old - Fashioned Popsicle and a Mung Bean Popsicle . Her family didn't let her eat these things , so she always finished them at school before going home . Someone gave the back of her collar a light tug .

" Tsk , taking this long to choose ? Can't make a choice to save your life ? " She didn't need to turn around . From that punchable tone alone , Madeleine knew it was Roderick . She irritably slapped his hand away . " None of your business ! Go eat your own thing ! " Roderick was holding a cold , sweating bottle of soda . He hadn't drunk any , just leaned against the adjacent freezer , his eyes fixed on the back of her head while his mouth kept running : " Look at you . Trying to figure out the secrets of the universe from a popsicle ?

You're so slow ." Chapter 336 Madeleine finally chose the Mung Bean Popsicle , paid , tore open the wrapper , and took a huge bite . The cold made her teeth ache , and only then did she glare at him . " Ricki , if you've got nothing better to do , go help sweep the streets . Why come over here and personally attack me out of boredom ? " Roderick didn't answer . His gaze swept over the corner of her mouth , which had a smudge of green mung bean , before quickly looking away . The tips of his ears turned an almost imperceptible shade of red .

He twisted open the soda cap , held it out to her , his tone still stiff . " Here . It's for you . " Madeleine stared at the soda offered to her , stunned for a moment . Did the sun rise in the west ? Her arch - nemesis was offering her a drink ? She watched him warily . " What's this for ? Chapter 336 Is it poisoned? " Roderick almost crushed the soda bottle , gritting his teeth . " Madeleine , what the hell goes on in that head of yours ? Take it or leave it! " That's what he said , but he didn't pull his hand back . Madeleine took it dubiously and had a small sip .

It was cold , sweet , and refreshing - definitely thirst - quenching . She licked her lips and decided to let his attitude slide for now . " Thanks . " The two of them walked side - by - side down the tree - lined path , silent for a moment . There was a subtle awkwardness in the air . Usually by this time , they would have been arguing nonstop . Roderick cleared his throat , staring straight ahead , and spoke as if it were a casual thought . " Hey , Madeleine . " " What? " Madeleine mumbled in reply , still nibbling on her popsicle . Chapter 336 " Where ... are you applying for college ?

" He asked a bit stiffly . " Hmm ? I haven't really decided yet . Probably Harvard University or Massachusetts Institute of Technology here in the city . My scores should be high enough for either . " Madeleine said honestly . " Oh . " Roderick replied , then fell silent for a few seconds before suddenly blurting out , " The cafeteria at Massachusetts Institute of Technology ... I heard it's pretty bad . " Chapter 337 Chapter 337 Cedella Cedella is a passionate storyteller known for her bold romantic and spicy novels that keep readers hooked from the very first chapter.
