Waking up with my nemesis baby novel Chapter 182

Chapter 182

Roderick felt like a volcano was about to erupt.

He gritted his teeth, every word filled with fury.

“Did he succeed?

!”

“Are you kidding me.”

Madeleine gave him a look that said ‘don’t you dare wish that

on me,’ resisting the urge to roll her eyes.

Roderick’s ragged breathing finally calmed down a little.

His eyes were dark. “Hengrong Group… I understand.”

“Are you going to get even for me?”

Madeleine perked up, ignoring the soreness in her body, and

propped herself up on her elbows with a mischievous grin.

Her eyes were sparkling, making Roderick’s heart skip a beat

for no reason.

Roderick hummed his assent.

He couldn’t just stand by and watch his woman be bullied.

Madeleine pouted, “Hey, and here I was, trying to build my

career woman persona.”

Roderick raised a hand to gently stroke her cheek.

“Me helping you with this doesn’t mean you’re not a career

woman. True strength isn’t about refusing all help, but knowing

how to use your resources when you need to.”

Madeleine listened and nodded, only half–understanding.

He continued to explain, “It’s like being the best commander on

the battlefield. You need to be able to fight alone, but you also

have to know how to lead your troops.”

Listening to his words, Madeleine was a bit stunned.

Maybe she hadn’t known Roderick well enough in the past. She

was surprised that these words came from him.

This was probably one of the reasons she later fell in love with

him and was willing to marry him.

“When we’re together, we should build each other up. Today, I

Chapter 182

can step in and help you with this problem, and tomorrow, you

might support me in another area.”

Roderick said, his gaze tracing her features.

“It’s not about who’s stronger or weaker, it’s about trust and

cooperation.”

After a pause, his tone became serious again. “Besides,

protecting my lover is my responsibility and my right. This is

equal love, not a handout or charity.”

A warm feeling washed over her.

Madeleine stared at Roderick, liking him more and more the

longer she looked, and couldn’t help but lean down to kiss him.

“You’re so good.”

Just as he said, a true partnership isn’t a competition where

one person’s gain is the other’s loss, but growth through mutual

support.

Roderick had just managed to get distracted and calm down,

but after her peck, his gaze deepened again.

“How good?”

Chapter 182

“Just… very good.”

Madeleine was being naive and didn’t catch the deeper

meaning of his words.

Roderick’s lips curled as his hand wrapped around her waist.

“So, was my performance just now good?”

“Uh…”

Madeleine’s face instantly turned red.

This guy, how could he say things like that?

Roderick sighed, “Looks like you’re still not satisfied. In that

case, I’ll have to pull out all the stops.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Roderick swiftly flipped her

over and pinned her underneath him.

The temperature in the room seemed to rise again…

At noon, the sunlight was blocked out by the heavy curtains,

with the occasional chirp of a bird coming from the window.

Madeleine groggily opened her eyes.

In her blurry vision, she saw Roderick’s sharp jawline.

The moment she moved slightly, Roderick opened his eyes.

“You’re awake?”

Roderick’s voice was hoarse from sleep, his warm breath

fanning the back of her neck.

Madeleine felt a tickle and shrank back, turning her head to see

it was already past ten.

“Ah…”

She let out a short gasp. “It’s Wednesday, aren’t you going to

the office?”

As she spoke, she turned back and poked Roderick’s chest with

her finger.

Roderick caught her mischievous finger and brought it to his

lips for a light kiss.

“This is called being too besotted to attend to his duties.”

In reality, he had woken up much earlier. Madeleine was

Chapter 182

practically sleeping on top of him.

Whenever he moved even slightly, Madeleine would whimper in

protest.

Having no choice, Roderick could only text Gerry and tell him to

postpone the morning’s work, and that he would go in the

afternoon.

Hearing this, Madeleine couldn’t help but remember last night’s

frenzy. She pulled the blanket up to cover half her face and

complained:

“It’s all your fault. I told you to stop last night…”

“Is that so?”

Roderick raised an eyebrow, holding back a laugh. “You say one

thing and mean another sometimes.”

Madeleine: …

Forget it, she couldn’t win a war of flirty words with him.

She nudged Roderick’s arm.

“Hey, neither of us are up. Won’t our son be worried?”

Roderick thought for a moment.

He knew he’d forgotten something.

“It’s fine, Kirsten and the others will take good care of him.”

“Mmm, okay.”
