waking up with my nemesis' baby novel

Chapter 67 The fireworks reflected in her eyes , flickering between light and shadow , just like his heart at that moment . He'd seen everything that just happened . He could tell Madeleine was rejecting Edward . It was because Madeleine had lost her memories of falling for Edward over the past few years . Her rejection of Edward now was real , but her infatuation with him before she lost her memory was also real . If one day she gets her memory back ... Roderick didn't dare to think about it , his fingers tightening unconsciously . " Ah ... " Madeleine winced and looked down .

Only then did Roderick instinctively loosen his grip ; he'd forgotten their fingers were intertwined . " Daddy , you hurt Mommy . " Chapter 67 Kevin scolded his dad , grabbing Madeleine's hand and blowing on it gently . " I'll kiss it better , Mommy , so it doesn't hurt . I'll blow on it for you . " " It's okay , Kev , Mommy's not hurt . " After Madeleine spoke , her gaze quickly swept over Roderick . The fireworks changed patterns again , and gasps of awe rose from the crowd . The two of them acted as if nothing had happened and looked up . Roderick's mind stirred .

She had taken his hand on her own just now . Now that she'd let go , would she refuse if he reached out again ? Roderick's eyes fell on her again . Madeleine's brow was slightly furrowed ; she was clearly lost in thought . Roderick knew what she was thinking about . In the haunted house just now , the way she looked at him was filled with unease and confusion . Chapter 67 She was worried he didn't trust her . How could he not trust her ? He just ... didn't trust himself . Didn't trust that he could ever mean more to her than Edward . Didn't trust how long this stolen happiness would last .

" Roderick . " Madeleine suddenly turned her head and spoke , her voice so soft it was almost drowned out by the fireworks , " In the haunted house just now , I don't know why Ed ... " " I know . " Roderick cut her off , not wanting to hear her difficult explanation , " Edward planned it on purpose . " Madeleine was surprised at first , then frowned slightly , " No , I was trying to say , just now my body felt like ... " Halfway through her sentence , another booming firework went off , cutting her off . Madeleine stopped abruptly .

Who would believe her if she said Chapter 67 something like that ? Even she thought it was absurd . But Roderick misunderstood her pause , and his heart felt like it had been stabbed . Just as he thought . She still cared about Edward . Even with amnesia , her body's instincts didn't lie . " Mommy !" Kevin suddenly pointed at the sky , " The biggest firework is coming ! " A huge firework exploded in the night sky , illuminating their three faces . Roderick used the dazzling light to sneak a look at Madeleine's profile .

Her long eyelashes trembled , the tip of her nose was still slightly red from the earlier scare , but her lips were a little pale . Seeing her like this made his heart ache so much he could barely breathe . If ... if she chose to leave after getting her memory back , what Chapter 67 would he do ? The thought coiled around Roderick's heart like a venomous snake . He remembered the look in Madeleine's eyes when she looked at Edward before her amnesia - that reckless obsession , that moth - to - a - flame persistence .

And he could only ever stand in the shadows , watching her be crazy about someone else . When the fireworks ended , Madeleine walked out beside Roderick . The little one excitedly chattered about the spectacular fireworks show , and the two of them just listened with a smile . In the car on the way back , Kevin was tired from playing and quickly fell fast asleep in his car seat . The car fell silent for a moment , with only the soft hum of the air conditioner .

Madeleine turned her head to look at Roderick again and finally mustered the courage to speak , " Ricki , I want to talk to you when we get back . " Chapter 67 Roderick's whole body tensed up , and his voice was deep and heavily suppressed . Despite that , he still maintained his usual gentleness , " Tomorrow . It's late today . " Madeleine opened her mouth , but in the end , she didn't insist . The two didn't speak again until they got back to the villa .

Madeleine wanted Roderick to carry the child to the master bedroom to sleep with her , but Roderick said they needed to teach the child to sleep independently and carried him to the kids ' room . He didn't mention that the kids ' room had 24 - hour smart monitoring , which would make it easier to watch out for Kevin having nightmares or talking in his sleep . The night grew deep . A few bird calls came from outside the window . Madeleine tossed and turned in the large bed , unable to fall asleep . Whenever she closed her eyes , she would remember that moment in Edward's arms .
