Waking up with my nemesis baby novel Chapter 155

Over here, Roderick saw the elevator move and got up to walk

over.

The elevator doors opened, and Madeleine, with a pained

expression, practically fell onto Roderick.

“Quick, quick!

Help me, my legs are like jelly and my feet are killing me. I can’t

stand up anymore.”

Roderick’s expression changed slightly. “What’s wrong?”

Madeleine: “That girl Minerva has way too much stamina…”

Roderick didn’t say a word and swept Madeleine into his arms.

She let out a soft cry, instinctively wrapping her arms around his

neck, her cheek against his firm chest, where she could clearly

hear his powerful heartbeat.

“You haven’t danced in years and you still tried to show off?”

Roderick scolded her in a low voice, but his steps were

Chapter 155

exceptionally steady, afraid of jostling her even the slightest bit.

Madeleine mumbled in his arms, “I was just trying to set an

example for my cousin…”

And I didn’t want to lose face.

In the bathroom, Roderick adjusted the water temperature with

one hand, while the other still held her securely.

The warm steam gradually filled the air, fogging up the mirror.

He tested the water temperature before carefully setting her

down on the edge of the bathtub.

“Can you get undressed by yourself?”

Roderick’s voice was a little hoarse.

Madeleine blinked, a playful mood suddenly striking her. “What

if I say I can’t?”

As soon as the words left her mouth, she saw Roderick’s

Adam’s apple bob, his eyes filled with desire.

Madeleine quickly backed off, chuckling.

“Just kidding, I can do it myself. You should get out now.”

“Mm.”

Predictably disappointed, Roderick nodded and left.

He went downstairs, personally warmed up some milk for

Madeleine, and when he brought it up, he saw Kevin coming out

of his room, hugging a small pillow.

Roderick frowned at him. “Not asleep yet?”

“Dad.”

Kevin blinked his big eyes. “I want to sleep with you guys.”

Roderick walked over, took the pillow from his hands, and said

seriously, “Mom and I have work stuff to talk about.”

“I’ll just sleep next to you. I won’t bother you.”

“No, it’s classified.”

Kevin was speechless.

Classified?

Does he think a four–year–old kid is going to eavesdrop and leak

secrets?

Chapter 155

Kevin pouted but was still persistent.

“Then when can I sleep with Mom and Dad?”

“Next time.”

“When is next time?”

“I’ll tell you when the time comes.”

In the span of just a few sentences, Roderick had already

coaxed the child back into his room.

Kevin wanted to press for a specific time, but he was pushed

down onto the bed.

“Be a good boy and sleep. Your mom is very busy, don’t make

her worry.”

The moment his mom was mentioned, Kevin instantly became

more sensible than anyone, shrinking his neck and nodding.

“Okay, then.”

Roderick turned and left, finally letting out a sigh of relief.

Good thing Madeleine was in the shower. If she had heard the kid say he wanted to sleep with them, she would have definitely

agreed.

After her bath, Madeleine was so tired she didn’t have an ounce

of strength left in her body.

She called out.

“Roderick, can you come blow–dry my hair? I can’t lift my arms.”

Hearing her call, Roderick went in with the warm milk.

Madeleine was sitting at the vanity wrapped in a bathrobe, her

long, wet hair draped over her shoulders, glowing softly under

the light.

She was gently dabbing the ends of her hair with a towel, the

movement clearly a struggle.

“Drink this first.”

Madeleine looked annoyed. “I already told you I can’t lift my

arms. You feed me.”

After speaking, she looked at Roderick expectantly, and that

look alone made his heart itch.

There was nothing he could do. Who could say no when Chase

gave an order? Roderick could only sigh helplessly, but his eyes

Chapter 155

were filled with a doting smile.

He walked to Madeleine’s side and gently brought the glass of

milk to her lips.

“It’s cooled for a bit, it shouldn’t be hot.”

He murmured, tilting his wrist at the perfect angle so Madeleine

could sip it without any trouble.

When she finished the milk, he took the towel from her and

gently wiped the ends of her hair.

He plugged in the hairdryer, tested the temperature, and then

carefully lifted her long hair.

The warm air brushed through her hair, his fingers weaving

through it, his movements so gentle it was as if he were

handling a rare treasure.

Madeleine was truly exhausted. She felt like she couldn’t even

hold her head up anymore, leaning back against Roderick.

Roderick’s movements were gentle, but he didn’t dare to be

careless, meticulously drying her hair.

As he ran his fingers through her hair, he lowered his gaze, his

Chapter 155

eyes unconsciously landing on the fair nape of her neck.
