waking up with my nemesis' baby novel

Chapter 99 " It's not as bad as you're making it out to be . When the Mosley Group went bankrupt , I poached all the talented long - time employees . They have good positions now in companies under the Livingston Group . " He thought for a moment , then continued , " As for your dad , I suggested he put a new team together back then , but he felt he was too old and didn't want to fight anymore . " Madeleine froze , turning her head to stare at Roderick . " Why didn't you ever tell me this ? " " You never asked .

" Roderick raised an eyebrow , only realizing his mistake when he saw the gratitude and admiration in Madeleine's eyes . He should have told her sooner ! What was all that effort for ? On the way , Roderick told her more about what happened after the Mosley Group went bankrupt . Harold Mosley had taken a huge hit back then , partly because Chapter 99 his life's work was destroyed , and partly because his daughter's . transformation was unbelievable to him .

Roderick was the one who stayed by the old couple's side during that time, and he also bought back the remaining production lines at a high price after the company was liquidated . Even though the company was gone , the core technology wasn't lost . This was also why Harold and Clarissa always felt they had let the Livingston family down . Madeleine listened in a daze , her mind flashing back to the first time she saw her parents after losing her memory , and the things they said . No wonder they always said she had let Roderick down . No wonder ... they didn't want her to hurt him again .

Madeleine's nose tingled , and she lowered her head , picking at her fingers . Roderick knew this was a habit she'd had since she was a child . He didn't say anything , just reached out and held Madeleine's Chapter 99 small hand . " Let's not talk about this . At least everything is heading in the right direction now , isn't it ? " Madeleine nodded sullenly and spoke in a muffled voice , " I know . I still haven't figured out what happened , haven't made up for my mistakes , or gotten my revenge . I won't be defeated .

" After she spoke , she paused for a moment , her voice tinged with tears . " I just don't know what's wrong with me. " What Madeleine really wanted to say was that she didn't know how to thank Roderick . To thank him for staying by her side , believing in her , and giving everything for her and her family during the time she was least like herself . But she couldn't say it . She didn't even dare to look at Roderick right now . She was afraid that if their eyes met , her tears would start to fall uncontrollably. Chapter 99 Roderick didn't say anything more .

He guided her head to rest on his shoulder and thought for a moment about how to cheer her up . " How about we go change in a bit , and I'll take you out for something good to eat ? That Spicy Numbing Hot Pot place we always went to as kids is still open . " Madeleine sniffled . " That's so high in calories . " Roderick : " I'll work out with you tomorrow after we eat . " Working out ... Madeleine thought of that steamy scene in the gym the other day , and her ears grew hot again . One moment she was crying , the next she was laughing .

Madeleine hadn't eaten much at the dinner party , and after going home to change , she was actually hungry . " Is it okay for us to just leave the kids at home like this ? " Roderick thought for a moment . " When we were kids , our parents wouldn't let us eat it . Now that we're parents , we Chapter 99 should learn a thing or two from them . " The Spicy Numbing Hot Pot place Roderick mentioned was one they had been eating at for years as kids . Back then , it was just a no - frills local diner , and both sets of parents never let them go , worried it was unsanitary .

Going for Spicy Numbing Hot Pot was one of the rare times Madeleine and Roderick worked together seamlessly . " You're not allowed to tell my parents ! " " You're not allowed to tell my dad either ! " " Fine , pinky swear ! " " A pinky swear isn't enough . What if you go back on your word ? Your parents don't hit you as hard as my dad hits me . " " Then what do you suggest ? " " Let's write up a contract . We'll both sign it . " Madeleine couldn't help but laugh thinking about that childhood conversation , and she asked casually , " Do you still have that contract from back then ?

That's hilarious . " Chapter 99 " Yeah , I still have it . " " Huh ? " Madeleine froze for a second . Seeing that he didn't look like he was joking , she was left speechless . " Ricki , your hoarding habit is acting up again . You've been like this since you were a kid , can't bear to throw anything away ."
