Then he lifted both of Madeleine’s hands, tied them above her
head with the belt, and pinned her to the bed. ·
“Huh?
!”
Madeleine’s eyes went wide.
“Wait, what exactly did you learn from it?!”
Roderick let out a low chuckle, leaning in to nibble on her ear.
“I’ve learned a lot.”
His lips traced the line of her neck. “Like… how to make a
naughty kitten admit its mistakes.”
Madeleine twisted her bound wrists, but the belt didn’t budge.
“Ricki, you’re breaking the rules!”
“Breaking the rules?”
He slowly undid the buttons on his shirt. “Then what do you call
faking a sprained ankle?”
Chapter 171
“That was… ah!”
A cold hand suddenly slipped under the hem of her clothes.
Madeleine cried out, her body arching uncontrollably.
“Roderick!”
“Call me your husband.”
He bit her collarbone punishingly, leaving a faint mark.
Madeleine turned her head away, blushing. “…Husband.”
“Good girl.”
Roderick kissed the corner of her lips as a reward, but then his
tone shifted. “So, you really weren’t afraid I’d lose the fight?”
Madeleine wanted to cry but had no tears. How could this man
still be stuck on that?
“I really didn’t mean it like that. You know, win the fight and go
to jail, lose and end up in the hospital.”
Roderick raised an eyebrow. “Worried about him?”
“I’m worried about you.”
Chapter 171
Madeleine was so angry she wanted to kick him, but his long
legs pinned her down. She held back a laugh and yelled, “Let me
go!”
“I won’t.”
Roderick’s playful expression vanished, and his deep eyes
looked straight at her.
“Maddie, you remember this.”
He undid the belt, but pressed her hands above her head.
“When it comes to anything involving you, I don’t want to lose,
and I will never admit defeat.”
Madeleine froze.
At that moment, Roderick’s usual gentleness was gone,
revealing the dominance and possessiveness in his bones,
making her heart skip a beat.
“Understand?”
“Un…derstood.”
Roderick smiled, lowered his head to kiss her again, then looked
up with restraint, as if forcing himself to pull back from the
Chapter 171
impulse.
He gazed at Madeleine’s somewhat hazy eyes and sighed.
“When are we going to do it for real?”
Instantly, Madeleine’s face turned beet red.
She quickly pushed him away, rolled over, and buried herself
under the covers.
“Ricki…”
Her voice was muffled, and you could tell she was genuinely
shy.
Roderick chuckled and sighed, “If this keeps up, what am I
going to do if I get pent–up problems?”
Madeleine lifted her head a little, revealing one eye.
“Can it really break?”
“Of course.”
Madeleine blinked a couple of times. “Then how did you deal
with it when I was going crazy?”
Chapter 171
“Uh.”
Roderick’s expression froze. He felt like he had just dug a hole
for himself.
Madeleine’s anger meter immediately faded, and she shot up.
“Roderick, you better confess!”
“Confess what?”
Roderick pretended to be calm and adjusted his cuffs, but his
eyes drifted to the window.
Madeleine grabbed his tie and pulled him close. “Tell me, did
you find another woman?”
“What are you thinking?”
Roderick held her hand helplessly. “Who else could I find
besides you?”
“Then…”
Madeleine hesitated for a moment, her gaze slowly moving
down to that spot.
Seeing the suspicion in her eyes, Roderick started to regret
Chapter 171
what he had just said.
“Don’t worry, it’s not broken yet. It works just fine.”
Madeleine’s face turned red again.
No, what is going on?
