Waking up with my nemesis baby novel Chapter 133

Chapter 133

Madeleine couldn’t help but roll her eyes.

In the past, she would have thought Ricki was definitely teasing

her, deliberately trying to annoy her.

Now that she knew he was saying these things sincerely

because he liked her, Madeleine felt flustered and

embarrassed, not knowing what to do for a moment.

No, who likes someone using such a cheap way to show it

“Don’t give me that.”

She pushed against his chest, but he only held her tighter.

“Come on, tell me. What exactly did you say to Nanette?”

Roderick chuckled, his fingers tracing her skin through the thin

fabric of her shirt, making Madeleine shiver.

“You really want to know?”

Madeleine shrank back a little and nodded.

Roderick smiled. “I had Mariah dig up her entire family history

and told her that if she didn’t write it, what’s waiting for her

would be a lot worse than just jail time and paying damages.”

“You threatened her?

That’s illegal…”

“It’s called a reasonable negotiation.“,

Roderick said nonchalantly, twirling a strand of her hair around

his finger. “Besides, so what if it is illegal?”

For Madeleine, he would risk anything.

Roderick chuckled again. “I’m kidding. We’re law–abiding

citizens. For those slaps you gave her, we’ll pay the medical

bills. How much was it again?”

He picked up his phone and glanced at the message from

Mariah.

“Seventy–six fifty–two.”

Madeleine almost choked on her own spit and couldn’t help but

burst out laughing.

Perfect. That was so Ricki.

Madeleine grinned, then immediately dug her own grave with

her next words:

“Since you helped me so much, shouldn’t I thank you properly?”

At her words, she saw Roderick’s eyes land on her, filled with

surprise and a hint of unreadable desire.

Madeleine, who had been a little chilly with her bare legs and

was wrapped in a blanket on the sofa, now felt the temperature

rising, her whole body growing hot.

Just being enveloped by his gaze, she started to feel

uncomfortable all over, shifting her body uneasily.

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

Madeleine’s voice was timid, her nervousness obvious.

Roderick mischievously leaned in closer, his eyes looking down

at her, forcing her to tilt her head up slightly.

“What do you think?”

He raised an eyebrow and smiled. “Didn’t you say you wanted to

thank me? I’m waiting.”

Madeleine shrank back, not daring to meet his gaze.

She felt that Roderick looked a little scary right now, that she’d

be devoured if their eyes met.

“I just haven’t figured out how to thank you yet… How about I

buy you a gift?

I remember you really liked those figurines when you were a kid,

right?”

As Madeleine spoke, she squirmed, trying to get out of

Roderick’s arms.

But that squirming only made things worse. Roderick’s gaze on

her deepened, and several veins popped out on his neck.

“Madeleine, don’t move.”

The hoarse voice came, and Madeleine immediately froze as if

under a spell, not daring to move.

She sat like a statue, her muscles tense, truly not moving at all.

Roderick was amused by her, looking speechless.

“Go ahead and move.”

Madeleine wanted to cry but had no tears.

Should she move or not? Her whole body was so tense it was

uncomfortable.

Seeing her like this, Roderick felt a little bad. After all, she was

missing her memories of the last few years. What if he scared

her by pushing her forward like this?

Take it slow, step by step.

Roderick was just about to let her go, about to tell Madeleine to

get off him.

The person on him, for some reason, reached out and wrapped

her arms around his neck.
