Waking up with my nemesis baby novel Chapter 183

After thinking for a moment, she felt guilty. “How about I find a

family–friendly restaurant and have a nice dinner with our son

tonight?”

“Alright.”

Madeleine stretched lazily, whining that she should get up.

She said it a couple of times but had no intention of actually

getting up.

“Still not getting up?

It’s time to eat.”

“Carry me.”

As she spoke, Madeleine reached her hands out toward

Roderick.

Roderick stared at her for a moment, the amusement in his

eyes gradually turning dark and deep.

Madeleine realized what that look meant and her eyes

immediately widened in alarm.

No longer lazy, she bolted upright in bed.

“Never mind, never mind! I’ll get up myself. Wouldn’t want to

trouble you.”

If he got his hands on her, getting out of bed would be delayed

by another hour or two.

In the afternoon, Roderick went to the office and was cornered

by Rebecca.

“What was up with you this morning? Weren’t we supposed to

meet the investors to discuss the new project? I had to face

them all by myself for two hours!”

Roderick walked past her into his office, his expression

unchanged.

“I trust your abilities.”

After all, when it came to money, no one was more professional

than Rebecca.

She rolled her eyes and then sent him the organized files.

“I’ve compiled the investors‘ questions. They’re still very

Chapter 183

interested in investing, but they’re holding back because of the

company’s recent negative press.”

As she spoke, Rebecca raised an eyebrow. “The bidding for the

South City project is coming up soon. Isn’t it time to reel in your

big net?”

“Mmm.”

“Good. Besides, I’ve been annoyed with that Edward for a long

time.”

Just hearing the name brought an uncontrollable look of

disgust to Roderick’s eyes.

Noticing a cut on Rebecca’s hand, he casually asked how she

got it.

“Oh, this?”

Rebecca looked down at it. “I was helping organize test tubes

at the lab yesterday, and I accidentally fell. Cut it on some

glass.”

“How are things going between you and Adrian?”

“What ‘going‘?”

Rebecca glanced up at him. “I told you not to assume things. I

just want to get to know him better so I can ask why he turned

down my family’s invitation.”

A teasing smile played on Roderick’s lips.

“By the way, I’m taking tomorrow off.”

“Tomorrow?”

Roderick glanced at the computer next to him. His schedule for

tomorrow was displayed on the desktop.

One item was attending a medical research seminar. As an elite

in the finance industry, he was invited to attend as a cross- industry guest.

If he remembered correctly, Adrian was one of the speakers.

Roderick tapped his fingers on the desk.

He had tired Madeleine out last night. It would be a good chance to take her out to see something interesting and relax.

After talking about work for a while longer, Rebecca got ready

to leave.

Roderick suddenly stopped her.

“Did you go with Madeleine to Hengrong International Plaza yesterday afternoon?”

“Yeah, your wife said she wanted to rent an office, so I went to

help her check it out. It’s not bad.”

Roderick narrowed his eyes, leaning back in his office chair.

His long fingers tapped lightly on the desk, his gaze gradually

turning dangerous.

“Jason, the golden child of Hengrong, do you know him?”

His voice was low, with a hint of coldness.

Rebecca raised an eyebrow, keenly sensing the change in

atmosphere. “Jason?”

She thought for a moment. “I’ve heard of him, but I don’t know

him well. The guy has a bad reputation. He acts all arrogant

because his family’s rich, but he’s always been abroad.”

“He’s back.”

Roderick’s eyes darkened, and the tapping of his fingertips
