Waking up with my nemesis baby novel Chapter 142

He deliberately raised an eyebrow and nodded. “Yeah. I mean,

promising young guys like me are hard to find.”

Madeleine punched his shoulder in annoyance.

“You have a girlfriend!”

“Of course, that’s what I told them. But those heiresses didn’t

care. They said you’re just a girlfriend, not a wife.”

Madeleine’s eyes instantly reddened.

Roderick, who had been teasing her, immediately panicked and

cupped her face in his hands.

“Hey… Kev, don’t cry. I was just kidding. Who cares about those

heiresses? What do I care if they hit on me? You know I only

have eyes for you.”

Madeleine sniffled.

After hesitating for three seconds, she said, “Ricki, Quelcia is influenced by the North Atlantic Current all year round. It rains a lot in the fall, and the average temperature in spring is only ten

degrees, which is a bit cold. You can’t wear dresses.”

As she spoke, her nose started running, and Madeleine gave a

couple more sniffs.

“Right now it’s August, the temperature is just right, and the

days are long. There are more than ten hours of daylight every

day, and the sun doesn’t set until after ten at night…”

This whole speech left Roderick completely baffled.

Was Madeleine… doing a geography quiz?

“So, Roderick, will you marry me in Quelcia before fall comes?”

In the days after they returned from the family estate, Roderick

felt that the way Madeleine looked at him was a little off.

One moment, her eyes were full of love; the next, they were

filled with deep resentment.

He had her come to his office for lunch during work, and

Roderick just couldn’t hold it in anymore.

“Is something on your mind lately?”

Madeleine bit the tip of her fork and blinked a couple of times. “No, what could possibly be on my mind?”

Roderick hesitated. “Did a coworker upset you?”

“My coworkers are fine.”

“Then… did I do something to make you unhappy?”

Madeleine gave him a sideways glance, asking why he would

ask that.

Roderick crossed his arms, looking innocent. “The way you’ve been looking at me these past two days makes me feel like I

owe you millions.”

Madeleine finished her last bite of food, put down her fork, took

a sip of water, wiped her mouth and hands, and then sat up

straight to look at Roderick.

“You owe me a lot more than that!”

Roderick sat up straighter too, uncrossing his arms.

“What do I owe you?”

Madeleine finally let out the anger she’d been holding in for

days. She stood up, but Roderick was so tall that even with her

standing and him sitting, she still didn’t feel intimidating.

enough.

So Madeleine decisively took off her shoes, stepped onto the

sofa, and stood there with her hands on her hips, glaring at him.

“I can’t believe it was really me who proposed to you!

?

Ricki, did you drug me or something?!”

Roderick, who had been ready to apologize and make amends,

was now completely confused.

All this for that?

Unable to hold back, Roderick burst out laughing.

When Madeleine saw that he actually dared to laugh, she

stomped her foot in anger, making the sofa shake slightly.

“You’re still laughing? This is serious! I’ve been racking my brain

for days and I just can’t figure it out. Me, me, how could I,

Madeleine, be the one to propose marriage?!

?

Roderick held back his laughter and reached out to steady her

leg, afraid she might fall.

“You must have drugged me. No, no way, I can’t just let this go.”

Madeleine stomped her foot angrily, trying to figure out how to

make up for it.

Roderick looked up at her puffed–up, angry face, and his smile

deepened.

Then, his eyes darkened a little. He reached out, pulled her

down to sit on the sofa, and had her lean against him.
