waking up with my nemesis' baby novel

Chapter 65 Roderick's expression darkened . Gerry finished , thought it over for a second , and then added , " Do you want me to follow up on it ? " " Yeah . If you find anything suspicious , report it immediately . " " Okay . If all goes to plan , Isabela's son won't be leaving the country . " When people of his status start moving capital overseas , it usually means a huge scandal is about to break . Fleeing abroad before things go south and leaving the mess behind - it's a classic vanishing act .

You don't have to be a genius to figure out that Isabela's family must have pissed off the CEO . After what happened with Dannie , Roderick was worried Madeleine was upset and asked if she wanted to head back . " Go back ? " Chapter 65 Madeleine said , shaking her head . " I'm not done having fun yet . What about you , Kev ? Are you done ? " Kevin hesitated . He wanted to keep playing , of course , but just like his dad , he felt bad about his mom getting hurt . " I'm really okay . It's just a small bruise . You've seen how many times I've gotten hurt from dancing , right ? It's nothing .

There are still a bunch of rides I haven't been on yet . " The father and son couldn't resist Madeleine's pleading . The moment she batted her big , watery eyes , they both gave in . Madeleine was thrilled and dragged them along to two more rides . As it got dark , the three of them passed a haunted house . Madeleine stopped in her tracks , a little hesitant . " Kev , are you brave enough for the haunted house ? " " A haunted house ? Mom , ghosts aren't real . " Chapter 65 " Uh , true , but what about you , Ricki ? You dare ?

" Roderick shook his head , the corners of his lips twitching into a smile . He knew that Madeleine had been terrified of ' ghosts and ghouls since she was a kid . Back then , he used to tell her ghost stories on purpose , just to keep her up at night . Roderick watched as Madeleine tried to pretend she was calm , even though she was obviously terrified , and a flicker of amusement crossed his eyes . He bent down , picked up Kevin , and said to Madeleine , " Let's go . I'll carry Kev and lead the way . " Madeleine took a deep breath and forced herself to follow .

A cold wind gusted at the entrance to the haunted house , and creepy sound effects echoed from all around . Madeleine's heart began to pound , and she instinctively grabbed the hem of Roderick's shirt . It's fake , it's fake , it's all fake . Nothing to be afraid of ! Madeleine swallowed hard , squeezing her eyes shut and repeating the mantra in her head . ! Chapter 65 " Don't be scared . " Roderick looked back and whispered , " It's just some machinery . If you're scared , close your eyes and follow me . " Madeleine nodded , but then she stepped on something , stumbled , and let go .

She opened her eyes just as a blood- covered " zombie " dropped from the ceiling , its rotting fingers almost touching the tip of her nose . " Ah ! ! " Madeleine's scream nearly tore the roof off . She instinctively tried to back away , but just then , she felt someone push her hard from behind . As she lost her balance , she frantically grabbed someone's arm ashed right into their chest . Madeleine was too panicked to think , and a scream was the only thing that escaped her lips . Was it Roderick ? Chapter 65 Why wasn't Roderick holding our son !

It took Madeleine a moment to come to her senses , realizing the scent filling her nose wasn't Roderick's familiar one , but ... that sandalwood fragrance . A terrible feeling instantly exploded in Madeleine's chest . " So eager ? " The man's voice came from above her head , laced with a hint of a smirk . Madeleine looked up , and in the dim light , Edward's eyes were filled with mockery . This was a real nightmare ! Madeleine felt like her heart had stopped for two seconds . " If you'd kept up the act for a few more days , I might have actually believed you .

Tsk , still so eager to throw yourself at me the moment you see me . How interesting . " Edward narrowed his eyes , his gaze filled with confidence and disgust for Madeleine . What the hell was this ! Chapter 65 Madeleine felt a wave of nausea and wanted to push Edward away . But for some reason , the moment she had that thought , it was like a needle pricked her brain . It hurts so much ... Madeleine's face changed , and her whole body uncontrollably stiffened , unable to move . Edward couldn't see Madeleine's expression clearly .

From his angle , he could only see her whole body still leaning against him , unwilling to leave . What a boring woman . And to think he thought she was somewhat interesting , even going to all the trouble of coming to some amusement park . Such a waste of time . Madeleine clenched her jaw , her nails digging deep into her palm . The sharp pain finally allowed her to regain control of her body .
