Waking up with my nemesis baby novel Chapter 170

Chapter 170

Seeing this, Madeleine went into full–on drama mode. “Oh,

honey, I think I twisted my ankle too. It hurts so much.”

She fell dramatically into Roderick’s arms. “It must be because

you pulled me along so fast just now.”

Roderick raised an eyebrow at her over–the–top acting, the

corner of his mouth twitching. “Did you twist your left foot or

your right foot?”

Madeleine blinked. “I twisted both of them.”

Roderick sighed helplessly and scooped her up into his arms.

“Then I’ll have to carry you upstairs to put some medicine on it.”

“Yes, yes, the medicine is what’s important!”

Madeleine wrapped her arms around his neck and waved at

Edward. “Mr. Carroll, see yourself out!”

Roderick strode upstairs, but didn’t forget to call back an order, “Roy, see our guest out. And remember to wipe down the entire living room with disinfectant.”

“Yes, sir.”

Roy, holding back a laugh, respectfully gestured toward the

door for them to leave.

Fiona stood there, looking at Edward’s twisted expression, and

felt incredibly exhausted.

She bent down to pick up her dropped purse and said softly,

“Edward, let’s go…”

“I don’t need you to tell me that!”

Edward spun around abruptly, but froze for a moment when he

saw Fiona’s reddened eyes.

Fiona looked up at him, gave a self–deprecating smile, nodded,

and walked out.

With her injured foot, she was limping as she walked. Roy

couldn’t bear to watch and went over to help her.

Edward didn’t know what to say, his feet felt rooted to the spot.

Roderick kicked the bedroom door open, strode in with

Madeleine in his arms, and then kicked it shut hard with his

heel.

The force of it made Madeleine’s heart jump, and she quickly let

out a dry laugh.

“Hehe, I didn’t actually twist my ankle.”

“Ricki, why don’t you put me down? I can walk by myself, I don’t

need any medicine.”

Before she could finish, she was tossed onto the soft, big bed.

“Oof!”

She feigned rubbing her waist, “Gently…”

Roderick loosened his tie with one hand, looking down at her.

“Explain.”

Madeleine shrank back. “That ‘touch‘ wasn’t a real touch, it was

about figuring him out…”

“Why did you let him in?”

။

Roderick cut her off, his voice low. “You know I don’t like it.”

He knelt on the bed with one knee and pulled Madeleine back

as she tried to escape.

Madeleine fell into his arms, smelling the faint scent of mint on

him, mixed with a hint of anger.

“Fiona came first. I thought he might be looking for Fiona, and I

was a little curious, so I let him in.”

She muttered under her breath, her voice trembling slightly.

“Who knew he would suddenly go crazy…”

Roderick gripped her chin, not too forcefully, and made her look

1. up. “Curious about what?”

His thumb caressed her lips. “Curious about his attitude toward

you now?”

Just as Madeleine was about to argue, Roderick lowered his

head and kissed her.

The kiss was punishing, forcefully prying her lips apart, invading

every inch without room for refusal.

The kiss made Madeleine go weak, her fingers unconsciously

clutching his shirt.

“Mmm…”

She pushed him lightly. “I can’t breathe…”

Roderick pulled back slightly, but his lips still brushed against

hers. “Will you dare to let him in again?”

Madeleine blinked her watery eyes. “I won’t…”

“Will you dare to defend him again?”

“No…”

“Why didn’t you let me beat him up?”

“I already told you, I was afraid you’d get hurt in a fight!”

Roderick’s eyes darkened.

“You think I’d lose?”

Madeleine understood it all now. Ricki was jealous, really

jealous.
