waking up with my nemesis' baby novel

Chapter 7 " Yes . For instance , you never used to eat oranges . And you hated the color pink , but you went and bought a whole wardrobe of pink dresses . " Madeleine was shocked . Had she really changed that much ? It sounded like she was a different person altogether . Wait ... Another person ? Had she been possessed ? It felt like one of those novel plots where a protagonist transmigrated or was reborn into a host body to complete a mission . Maybe that was it . It was the only logical explanation for such a drastic and sudden change in personality .

Just as Clarissa was about to speak , her phone rang . It was Roderick . Chapter 7 " Hello , Roddy . " Roderick's deep voice came through the speaker . " Hi , Clarissa . Is Madeleine with you ? " " Yes , she is . What's the matter ? " Roderick fell silent for a while . Then he said , " Did she tell you she's lost her memory ? " " Yes , she did . " " It's just an excuse to divorce me , Clarissa . She's even bought plane tickets to go abroad with Edward ." Hearing this , Clarissa widened her eyes at Madeleine . Had it all been an act ? Madeleine had no idea what was going on .

She had only seen Clarissa answer Roderick's call , her expression shifting drastically before she stepped out onto the balcony with the phone . When Clarissa returned after some time - long enough for Madeleine to eat two oranges - she looked deeply preoccupied . Chapter 7 " What happened , Mom ? What did Roderick want ? " Madeleine asked . Clarissa's gaze was complex and slightly strained . Her eyes , slightly unfocused , rested on Madeleine for a long moment . " Nothing important . Roddy was just checking to see if you were here . " Madeleine curled her lip . " Ricki's so paranoid .

" Clarissa sat down in silence , her mind a whirlwind . Roderick had claimed that Madeleine's amnesia was a ruse and that she had already decided to go to Phelrania to find Edward . Clarissa had been suspicious . After all , the Madeleine of today acted exactly like the girl from eight years ago , just as she would if she had truly lost her memory . Roderick hadn't explained much , only asking her not to confront Madeleine and to wait until the next day to see if she would actually go to Phelrania . Madeleine was genuinely astonished by Harold's exceptional Chapter 7 cooking .

The table was laden with dishes , each one more delicious than the last , and she couldn't decide where to begin . " Yum ! " She held the fork in her right hand and gave Harold a continuous stream of thumbs - up with the other hand , which pleased him so much that he broke into a hearty grin . Just then , the doorbell rang , and Madeleine stood up to answer it . Her world seemed to crumble when she saw the pretty little girl , about eight years old , standing at the door . Tears welled up in her eyes as she turned around .

" Dad , Mom , did you think I was a lost cause , so you found a replacement ? " " Don't be ridiculous ," Clarissa said , stepping forward . She took the little girl's hand and gently led her inside . " This is Mina , your uncle's daughter . " Madeleine's eyes widened as she stared at the adorable child . How had her uncle managed to have such a beautiful daughter ? Chapter 7 Then it dawned on her - her aunt was a renowned beauty . The little girl must have taken all her looks from her mother . Her cousin was called Minerva Hatfield , aged seven .

Her parents were abroad on business , so she had been living with Harold and Clarissa during the school term for the past two years. From the moment she stepped inside , Minerva's gaze remained fixed on Madeleine . " Are you Madeleine ? " she asked . Madeleine grinned and nodded eagerly . " That's right . " Minerva was as adorable as Kevin , the kind of child who could instantly win anyone's heart . To her utter surprise , Minerva's face darkened . " Clarissa , Harold , why did you let Madeleine in ? What if she makes you angry and gets you sick again ?

" With that , Minerva spread her arms and stood protectively in front of Clarissa . Chapter 7 " Don't you hurt Clarissa ! Come at me if you dare ! " The grin on Madeleine's face froze . It was becoming painfully clear just how terribly she must have behaved all these years- even a little girl seemed to despise her . Clarissa guided Minerva to the dining table . " It's alright , Mina . Maddie knows she was wrong and has come to apologize . " " Apologize ? Her ? " Minerva gave Madeleine a look of pure skepticism . " No way . Clarissa , Harold , she's lied to you countless times .

Why would you still believe her ? Don't be fools . " Hearing this , Clarissa could only sigh inwardly , reminded of what Roderick had said . Perhaps she was a fool . But Madeleine was her daughter , her own flesh and blood . More than anyone , she clung to the hope that the real Madeleine would someday return - that sweet , sensible girl she once knew .
