waking up with my nemesis' baby novel

Rebecca clicked her tongue . Well now , she's learned to coach her kid on what to say . Meanwhile , when Roderick heard Madeleine's " You came so obediently ," his brain froze like a stuck clockwork . A moment later , when Rebecca came in , it dawned on Roderick . Madeleine must have seen the message from Rebecca . Did she mistake her catchphrase for a nickname for herself ? Tsk ... What is she thinking about all day ? Rebecca came in holding Kevin and was blocked by Madeleine , who was about to leave .

She glanced at her with a half - smile , didn't even say hello , and just walked around her to go inside . " Owen , I haven't been here in a few days , and your little courtyard is even more beautiful . Mrs. Miller takes such good care of it . " Chapter 79 Owen's expression was gentle , and when he heard her mention Mrs. Miller , the corners of his mouth couldn't help but lift slightly . " She's pregnant and doesn't have much to do at home , so she likes to potter around with these flowers and plants . " Rebecca went and sat on the sofa , speaking slowly .

" Yeah , it's nice to have nothing to do and just plant flowers and raise fish at home . Just don't go getting a job or something and stir up trouble . " As soon as Madeleine heard that , she sensed something was off . Was she overthinking it , or did it feel like that comment was a jab at her ? If she wasn't overthinking it . This Rebecca must have a grudge against her ! Madeleine couldn't hide her feelings . She took the fruit platter , sat down to the side , and started eating . After a couple of bites , she remembered this was for Kevin .

Chapter 79 She looked up and saw the little guy happily chatting with Rebecca . Oh well , he's busy talking , how could he remember the plate of fruit in his old mom's hands ? She might as well eat it all herself . So Madeleine just sat in the corner , stuffing her mouth with bite after bite from the fork , her cheeks puffed out . Roderick caught sight of her from the corner of his eye and could barely suppress a smile . " I heard from your dad that you've been helping him with a new project recently ? You're helping out the group on one hand and doing things for your dad on the other .

Don't wear yourself out . " Owen's tone was full of concern . Madeleine had noticed long ago that Owen really liked this Rebecca . The way he was talking to Rebecca right now , wasn't it just like how he used to talk to her ? What a tragedy . After these eight years , she'd really become Chapter 79 someone everyone despised . " It's not that busy , just a small project not worth mentioning . Besides , Owen , when I can't handle it , won't your son have to help me anyway ? " " That's true . If you need Roderick to do anything , just say the word . If he dares not to help you , you tell me .

" " Yes , yes , whatever you say , Owen ." Rebecca said with a smile , deliberately looking over at Madeleine . Huh ? Is she blowing up a balloon ? Why are her cheeks so puffed up ? Is she angry ? I don't think so . Owen used to say this kind of stuff all the time , secretly trying to see if he could set her up with Roderick . Owen never held back around Madeleine , because he simply didn't care . The atmosphere in the room was strange . Roderick interrupted their small talk and asked Rebecca why she was here today . Chapter 79 " I came to see Owen and Mrs.

Miller , and to chat a bit about the subsidiary . " As she spoke , Rebecca glanced over at Madeleine , pausing for a couple of seconds . Both Roderick and his father understood what Rebecca meant . Although Roderick was unhappy , he could only look at Madeleine now . " Take Kev out to the yard to play for a bit , hmm ? " He was afraid Madeleine would feel uncomfortable , so he did his best to lower his voice and keep his tone gentle . But Madeleine was sharp . She knew at a glance that they wanted to get her out of the room .

Without saying a word , Madeleine obediently put down the plate , walked over , took Kevin's little hand , and went outside . Roderick's brow was furrowed , his gaze following the mother and son out the door . He badly wanted to get up and follow them , to tell her not to worry about any of this . Chapter 79 But a warning glance from his father made him stay put . This was terrible . She had already misunderstood , and now he would have to find a way to make it up to her later . Madeleine led her son by the hand into the small courtyard , feeling a bit unsettled . A little sour .

Could it be that she was jealous from seeing her son so close to Rebecca ?
