waking up with my nemesis' baby novel

Madeleine's movements were clumsy . In her current memory , this was the first time she had ever fixed a man's tie . She had no idea what was up with Ricki's tie . It was perfectly fine a second ago , but then he claimed it was crooked and loose , insisting she fix it . That's about right . Madeleine took half a step back and leaned back to look . " It's good now . " Roderick's lips curved into a smile as he reached out and pulled her back into his arms . " Thanks , wifey . " That one word , " wifey , " almost maxed out Madeleine's anger meter .

It was true she was his wife , but accepting this identity so openly was still a bit difficult . Madeleine used two fingers to try and pry Roderick's hand off Chapter 96 her waist , but he said coolly, " They're all waiting to see the joke . of me being cheated on . You could at least play along ." Madeleine pouted. " Didn't you say you wanted to make up for past mistakes ? Now's your chance . " Roderick finished , a wicked grin on his face . He knew Madeleine couldn't possibly refuse if he said that .

Madeleine sighed helplessly to herself , letting him keep his arm around her , looking happy and in love . For some reason , she felt like she'd walked right into a trap . Two minutes later , Madeleine's eyes widened as she suddenly realized something . " Ricki , you saw Edward just now , so you did that on purpose , didn't you ! " Ricki said nothing , just gloated and snickered to himself . Chapter 96 Outside the back door of the banquet hall , Edward leaned against a pillar , a lit cigarette glowing in his hand . His second one .

He'd thought the woman would chase right after him the moment he stepped out . After all , from past experience , wherever he was , she'd stick to him . Like a persistent leech . Ready to head back after this cigarette , Edward irritably blew out a long stream of smoke . Suddenly , his gaze froze , fixed on a woman not far away who had stopped a waiter . Madeleine had her back to him . He couldn't tell what she said to the waiter , but her eyes scanned the tray in his hand before she furtively picked up a drink . Edward scoffed and flicked the ash from his cigarette . He'd overestimated her .

She was still the same , now resorting to drugging drinks . Chapter 96 A wave of contempt mixed with a subtle hint of smugness washed over Edward . He dropped his cigarette , crushed it with his foot , and strode toward Madeleine . Madeleine was a little nervous holding the drink , completely unaware of Edward approaching from behind . Just as she was about to turn , her arm was grabbed . She looked at the man before her and cursed inwardly : Shit ! Can't get rid of this guy .

Edward's lips curved into a smirk as he looked at Madeleine , trying to find proof in her panicked eyes that she was still obsessed with him . " What are you doing ? Let go of me ! My husband will get the wrong idea if he sees this ! " " Your husband ? " Edward laughed . " You really think that line still works ? " With that , his hand moved to the glass Madeleine was holding and he took it from her . He swirled the glass and said in a low voice , " What did you put Chapter 96 in here ? A sedative ? Or ... an aphrodisiac . " What the hell ? Madeleine's brain short - circuited for a moment .

She couldn't help but roll her eyes when she looked at the glass of red wine . She might as well just hand the pen to Edward and let him write it . With an imagination like that , he should be contributing to our country's cultural industry . She snatched the red wine from him irritably and shot him a sideways glance . " Get over yourself . Spend money to buy you medicine ? You wish . " Edward's smile froze . How did this woman's way of speaking change so much ? He couldn't help but look Madeleine up and down again , his mind filled with confusion . Chapter 96 " What on earth are you doing ?

" " I should be asking you that , Edward . Just how long are you going to be so shameless ? " Edward was so angry he almost laughed , practically radiating fury . " Me , shameless ? Fine , go on . I'd love to hear just how I'm so shameless . " Madeleine started counting on her fingers : " Let's start from when you were a kid . My family sponsored your education . Did you ever pay us back ? " Edward snorted . " Didn't you say all that nice stuff about charity and not expecting anything in return ? " Madeleine nodded . " Fine , you don't have to pay us back .

But you didn't have to be an ungrateful bastard . What was the deal with driving my family into bankruptcy ? " She was so furious she wanted to stomp on Edward's foot with her high heel . " My parents had to move from a mansion into a small house . Is Chapter 96 that any way to treat your benefactors ?
