Chapter 179
Madeleine’s fingertips trembled; beneath her palm were his firm
muscles.
The warmth made her heart race. She tried to pull her hand
away, but he held it firmly in place.
“Hey, you… you go take a shower first.”
She struggled weakly, and for some reason, her voice came out
sounding like a playful whine.
Roderick didn’t let up, lowering his head and burying his face in
Madeleine’s neck.
“I’m so tired, babe.”
His breath was hot as he spoke, making the tips of Madeleine’s
ears burn.
She pushed him away, flustered and annoyed, “You were
supposed to be cheering me up, but you’re just being a perv.”
She finished with a dissatisfied huff.

“You’re stinky, and you’re making me stinky too.”
Roderick chuckled softly, his voice magnetic and seductive.
The next second, the man who’d just been complaining he was
tired swiftly bent down and threw Madeleine over his shoulder.
“Ah!”
Madeleine cried out in surprise, quickly grabbing onto
Roderick’s head, afraid she would fall.
“What do you think you’re doing?”
“Weren’t you saying I’m stinky? Let’s go get clean together.”
Roderick mimicked her tone, unable to hold back a laugh as he
carried her straight to the bathroom.
Damp, humid, panting…
Madeleine felt her mouth was full of the minty taste of
toothpaste.
She forgot how it started; Madeleine only remembered Roderick leaning in after brushing his teeth.
She was pressed against the tiled wall, her back slightly cool,

but in front of her was his scorching body heat.
Mint and coolness spread between their lips, but it couldn’t
suppress the rising temperature in the bathroom.
Madeleine was kissed until she went weak, only able to cling to
his shoulders to barely stay upright.
Then, he held her, as if dancing a waltz, and with a twirl, they
were under the showerhead.
The shower turned on, and the warm stream of water instantly
drenched them both.
Madeleine’s pajamas clung to her body, outlining her slender
curves. Roderick’s eyes darkened as he reached out to push
aside her wet strands of hair.
Later, did Madeleine remember mumbling a complaint that her
legs were too weak to stand?
By the time she came to her senses, she had already been
carried into the bathtub.
The warm water submerged their two bodies, with Madeleine
practically pressed on top of Roderick.

The surface of the water swayed, stirring up layers of ripples.
Roderick’s arm was wrapped around her waist, his fingertips
faintly caressing her through the wet fabric.
“You still haven’t told me what you’re mad about.”
Madeleine panted and turned her head away, “You actually
remember that.”
Who acts like that? Coming back and seeing I was sulking, his
first reaction wasn’t to ask why, but to actually…
Roderick chuckled lightly, his hand reaching up to pull at her
pajamas.
“Hey…”
Madeleine tried to stop him, but unfortunately, she failed.
“You, don’t you want to know why I’m angry?”
“It’s not too late to find out later.”
After saying that, Roderick’s eyes darkened, and he cupped the
back of her head, kissing her fiercely.
His other hand skillfully removed the unnecessary clothes.

When they saw each other again, they were both completely
bare.
Madeleine felt her face burning hot, not daring to look into
Roderick’s eyes at all.
Fortunately, he didn’t give Madeleine a chance to look, kissing
her as if she would melt into the bathwater.
“Maddie… Maddie…”
In the moments he pulled away from her lips, Roderick
murmured her name, full of cherish and affection.
He didn’t know what had gotten into him.
Maybe it was the alcohol.
Or maybe he’d been holding back for too long.
Or perhaps, it was seeing her angry face when he got back and
finding it cute.
