waking up with my nemesis' baby novel

Chapter 71 Chapter 71 Madeleine picked it up , planning to ask Roy Velez to hand it to Roderick . But as soon as she picked up the phone , Madeleine discovered it had unlocked ! Her face could actually unlock Roderick's phone ! ? So does this mean she's looked at Roderick's phone before ? Madeleine's mouth fell slightly open in shock , and she inadvertently glanced at the phone . The chiming just now was from Facebook messages sent by the same person , saved under the name Rebecca Whitman . Madeleine searched her memory . The name was unfamiliar .

She didn't look to see what this Rebecca had sent . It was Roderick's privacy , and she wouldn't look . But in the last moment before the screen went dark , she still ! Chapter 71 noticed the message from that Rebecca . [ Sweetie , am I not the one you trust the most ? ] Clang . Madeleine's hand wasn't steady , and Roderick's phone slammed onto the table . Her eyelid twitched violently twice . Sweetie ? This Rebecca person called Roderick " sweetie " ? That intimate ? That brazen ? Not even trying to hide it !

Even though their marriage was most likely a strategic marriage , the kind with no feelings involved . But they couldn't really just do their own thing , could they ? They have a child . Chapter 71 Besides , if that's the case , what was that kiss last night ... Madeleine felt like a heavy stone was crushing her chest , making it hard to breathe , and her face looked absolutely awful . " Mommy , what's wrong ? Are you not feeling well ? " " No. " Madeleine shook her head , just in time to see Roderick approaching after finishing his work call , and her face darkened again .

" If you don't like the breakfast , I'll have Kirsten make something else . What do you want to eat ? " " I don't want anything ." Madeleine mumbled , grabbing the peeled egg from the table and stuffing it into her mouth . Just then , Rebecca called . Madeleine got so excited she swallowed the egg whole , nearly choking to death , and quickly got up to find water in the kitchen . Roderick saw something was off with her , but he couldn't quite put his finger on it . Chapter 71 He picked up the phone to answer .

On the other end , Rebecca was faking a northern accent , " Well , my goodness , what took you so long to answer ? " Roderick : ... Rebecca had been obsessed with a northern comedy lately , and " my goodness " had become her catchphrase . " Talk to me in that dead voice again and I'll kill you . " " Oh ? " Rebecca chuckled on the other end of the line . " Mr. Livingston , your tone sounds a bit off . Why do you sound so secretly pleased ? What , did you wake up and realize you're not wearing such a big pair of horns after all ? " " Rebecca ! " " Alright , alright , I'll stop .

Such a tough guy , but with a fragile ego . I won't step on your pride , okay ? " Rebecca held back her laughter , knowing there was a limit to joking around . She was close with Roderick , so she could get away with Chapter 71 teasing him more than others , but that didn't mean she could say just anything . Like Madeleine , for example , whom he'd protect with his life . As much as Rebecca couldn't stand her , she didn't dare make a move against her . What could she do ? The man was just too fiercely protective of his own .

She dropped the smile and said , " Gerry told me you're investigating Isabela . Why the sudden interest in Origin Real Real Estate ? " After she spoke , Rebecca noticed there was no response from the other side and glanced at her phone , puzzled . " Roderick ? Are you listen- " " Rebecca . " Roderick's voice was a little low . " I consider you a friend , but that doesn't mean you can meddle in my private affairs . " Roderick trusted Gerry to be discreet; the information shouldn't Chapter 71 have come from him .

The only explanation was that Rebecca had secretly sent people to investigate Madeleine . For a moment , there was only static on the line . They were both silent for a while . After a long moment , Rebecca's somewhat nervous voice came through . " Don't get me wrong . " She said , forcing herself , " I didn't mean anything by it . It's just that something happened at the branch office , and now everyone in the company and even outsiders are saying Madeleine did it . As a senior executive , I have a responsibility to get involved . " Roderick didn't answer . He knew what Rebecca meant .

e held no personal grudge against Madeleine ; she was just concerned from the company's perspective . " Speaking of which . " Rebecca knew Roderick was upset , so she cleared her throat and changed the subject . " It's not convenient for Gerry to Chapter 711 investigate this . My uncle has some connections in real estate , so I had him look into it for you . Origin Real does have problems . " " Mm . " Roderick responded . Even though he didn't say anything , Rebecca could tell the Roderick responded .

Even though he didn't say anything , Rebecca could tell the matter was closed , that the guy wasn't mad at her anymore .
