waking up with my nemesis' baby novel

Chapter 98 Roderick refused domineeringly , raised his glass , and took a sip himself . His Adam's apple bobbed as the red wine slid down his throat . It made Madeleine's mouth water . Since they arrived , Roderick had only let her drink juice , not even letting her touch champagne . She couldn't have anything with alcohol . Madeleine didn't understand . Even though she didn't have her memories from the last eight years , she was still in her twenties . What was wrong with having a drink ! " Why is it one law for me , another for thee ? Why can't I have a drink ?

" Roderick glanced at her , sighing helplessly at her fuming expression . " I'm afraid you'll go home and hit our child . " Chapter 98 " Me ? How could I ? Kev is so well - behaved and adorable ! " Roderick paused for a moment again . " But I can't handle you when you're drunk . " Madeleine's eyes widened , " I get crazy when I'm drunk ? Don't you slander me . How could I ? And is my tolerance really that bad ? " " You have amnesia , of course you don't remember how bad your tolerance is . " " Really ? Just how bad is it ?

" Roderick watched Madeleine look up at him with a curious expression , and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but lift . He suddenly felt like teasing her , frowning and clicking his tongue before saying , " Let's just say , one time I had been drinking , and you insisted on coming over to kiss me . And what happened ? You couldn't handle the alcohol ... " " No , wait a minute ! " Chapter 98 Madeleine was startled by how forward that was . She turned her head to look around , and only continued in a hushed voice when she saw no one was paying attention . " I insisted on kissing you ?

You must be making that up . " Roderick spread his hands . " If you say so . Anyway , you've done plenty of things you won't admit to since we were kids . " Madeleine was extremely annoyed . Now that she was missing eight years of memories , she had no way to argue with whatever Roderick made up about her . Madeleine crossed her arms in frustration , then suddenly remembered something . " That's not right . How could I get drunk just from kissing you when you've been drinking? I don't believe it . Didn't you drink a lot that night too ? I was fine after we kissed .

" After mumbling this out , Madeleine looked into Roderick's eyes again and instantly saw his cunning , foxy gaze . But it was too late . Roderick lowered his head and leaned in Chapter 98 close . " Oh , so you do remember what happened that night . " Madeleine's face turned bright red . " I wasn't drinking , of course I remember . But you ... " Roderick sighed . " I was just worried you'd feel awkward . After all , you're still just a silly little girl of eighteen . " " Go away! " Madeleine pushed him back defiantly . " What silly little girl ? You're not allowed to call me that .

" Roderick raised an eyebrow and stepped closer to her again , his every move filled with aggression . " So ? Are you implying I can take ... further action ? " Madeleine : ! ! ! A bell went off in her head . Chapter 98 What the hell is that damn man talking about ? This is a public place , can't he be more careful ? Madeleine's face was completely red . She shot Roderick a harsh glare and ran off . Roderick watched her go with a light laugh , shaking his head and sighing . " See ? Just a silly little girl . Can't take a little teasing .

" By the time the dinner ended and they were in the car , Madeleine still hadn't recovered from Roderick's risqué language . Roderick teased her a few more times , but Madeleine was too distracted to even look him in the eye . Roderick felt helpless ; how had he teased the kid into silence ? " Ahem . " He cleared his throat and got down to business , " Did you talk to Edward ? " He had been reluctant to let Madeleine go , but that girl had Chapter 98 always been headstrong . When she decided on something , she would see it through .

Knowing Edward wouldn't believe the news Roderick had spread , Madeleine planned to go and add fuel to the fire . She just had to act a little unnatural in front of Edward , and no matter what she said , he would think Roderick was up to something . A suspicious and arrogant man like him would only believe what he saw with his own eyes . Madeleine gave Roderick the gist of her conversation with Edward , swinging her phone with a smug look on her face . " Twenty million . My little slush fund just got bigger . " After she said that , her smile faded a bit and she sighed .

" But it's nothing compared to the harm done to my parents and the company's long - time employees . " Roderick couldn't stand seeing her look so pitiful . His heart melted instantly as he cupped the back of her head , stroking it gently .
