waking up with my nemesis' baby novel

Roderick nodded . Although his tone was cold , his reply was polite . Owen supported Mrs. Miller , glancing at the two as he passed , then put his focus back on Mrs. Miller . Madeleine let out a long sigh and looked down to find Roderick's arm was still around her waist . He seems to be getting addicted to holding me . Feeling Roderick's warmth , Madeleine couldn't help but remember the scene of them sleeping together last night . And that kiss ... Madeleine couldn't help but shiver , quickly breaking free from Roderick's hand and taking half a step back .

Roderick glanced at his empty right hand , said nothing , and casually slipped it into his pocket . " Just now , Mrs. Miller hadn't even said anything , and you already believed me ? " Chapter 77 Madeleine tried hard to distract herself . Stupid brain , forget what happened last night! Roderick gave a calm " mm " . " Why did you believe me? " " You're my wife , why wouldn't I believe you ? " Roderick's answer was so natural it made Madeleine's question seem a bit stupid .

Seeing her complicated expression , Roderick said in a low voice , " Before you lost your memory , you did some outrageous things , but you never went so far as to hurt others . " After saying this , Roderick paused , refuting his own words in his mind . You didn't hurt others , because the only one you ever hurt was me ... Look at what you did to my heart . " Not to mention you've forgotten that part of your memory now . You have no grudge against Mrs. Miller , so why would you hurt her for no reason ? Are you that bored ? " Chapter 77 Madeleine thought this analysis made a lot of sense .

She asked again , " I didn't hurt other people before ? " " No physical harm . The wounds were all emotional . " Roderick's tone became a few shades deeper . He was probably recalling those bad memories , and the light in his eyes dimmed . During that time , Madeleine acted so unreasonably , breaking the hearts of everyone around her . But she wasn't some horrible person . She didn't like being around Kevin , but the most she ever did was lock him out of a room . She never laid a hand on him .

C Even with Mathew and Kirsten , her demands were difficult and harsh , but she wouldn't really do anything if they didn't do things her way . Everything she did was because of her obsession with getting closer to Edward . As Madeleine listened , a few familiar feelings flickered in her mind , but when she tried to grasp them , they slipped away . Chapter 77 Her head started to hurt . Madeleine swayed , unsteady on her feet , and reached out to grab Roderick . " Ricki .

" She hesitated , then asked the same question she had asked her mother today : " In the past few years , have you ever felt like my soul ... was replaced by someone else's ? " Roderick frowned , confused at first , then he realized what she was asking . He raised his hands and held both of Madeleine's arms , bending slightly to meet her gaze . Then , he said slowly and deliberately : C No , you are you . You are Madeleine . That hasn't changed . " Madeleine was on the verge of tears , her voice trembling . " But why did I become like that ? Ricki , you've known me for so many years .

You should know I'm not that cold - hearted , not that stubborn ." Chapter 77 As she finished speaking , the tears she'd been holding back finally fell . His heart aching , Roderick held his breath and raised his hand , gently wiping her tears away with his fingertips . " I know . Of course , I know . " His tone softened . " That's why for the past eight years , I've hoped every day that you would ... " Roderick choked up . What he wanted to say was that he'd hoped every day you would turn around and see me .

But the words that came out were : " I've hoped every day that you would go back to the way you were . " Madeleine couldn't stop crying . So ... had she really lost her memory ? There was no so - called soul transmigration or soul possession . She had really just lost eight years of her memories ... Chapter 77 " Ricki ! " Madeleine sobbed , her shoulders hitching , just like Kevin when he cried . " Take me to the hospital , quickly . " Roderick's eyes sharpened . " Where are you feeling unwell ? " " No , I want to get my brain checked again , to see how I lost my memory .

" After saying that , Madeleine's face paled , and she shook her head like a rattle drum . " No , no , better not get it checked . What if they find the cause and my memory comes back ? " What she feared most right now was turning back into the Madeleine they all described , the one everyone disliked . " Don't overthink it . " Roderick watched her tears still welling up , sighed , and continued to wipe them away for her . " It's good like this . " It would be best if things just stayed this way. Chapter 77 No accidents , no changes . Madeleine was still the 18 - year - old Madeleine .
