Waking up with my nemesis baby novel Chapter 188

Figuring he’d be taking Madeleine out the next day, Roderick

didn’t wear her out too much that night.

After they finished, he carried her limp body to the bathroom

and gently washed her.

“Ricki.”

Madeleine was tired and sleepy, leaning against Roderick and

mumbling indistinctly.

Roderick couldn’t help but laugh, lowering his head to kiss her

forehead.

“What’s wrong, Kev?”

“I just wanted to call your name.”

Madeleine grinned, rambling on with her eyes closed, “Actually,

I’ve been remembering a lot of things from before lately.”

Roderick’s fingertips paused, and he listened intently.

“I’m sorry for making you so sad for so long before. I didn’t

Chapter 188

want to, really. Treating you all like that made me sad too…”

“Kev, let’s not talk about it.”

Roderick cupped her cheek with one hand, his thumb stroking her closed eyelid.

“All the unhappy things are in the past, aren’t they? Let’s not

bring them up.”

Madeleine nodded, but couldn’t help speaking again, “Actually,

there’s something I’ve always wanted to ask you.”

“Go ahead and ask.”

“You’re so nice to me now, why did you always bully me

before?”

Roderick’s movements stopped, a hint of helplessness in his

expression.

“Was it just me bullying you?

Didn’t you go against me too?”

Madeleine thought about it and realized he had a point.

She’d had a competitive streak since she was a kid; if anyone

Chapter 188

ever bullied her, she’d make sure to pay them back double.

She grinned a little awkwardly.

“You’ve known me for so many years, how could you not know

my personality? Besides, I’m a girl, you should’ve gone easy on

me.”

Roderick chuckled and clicked his tongue. “If I had known back

then that you’d be my wife, I would have definitely protected

you.”

In fact, that’s what Roderick had thought back then.

It’s just that young love is always a bit hard to figure out.

You clearly want to get closer to someone, but when you

actually meet, you just end up being confrontational to get their

attention.

Fortunately, the final outcome was good.

That’s enough.

The next day.

Chapter 188

When Roderick woke up, he saw a message from Rebecca.

First, she complained about his terrible behavior of arriving late

and leaving early yesterday, then she sent over the information

about the Klein family.

Just as Roderick had guessed, the Klein family had been

expanding recklessly for the past two years, and their finances

were already in trouble.

But now, backed by several banks and investment firms, they

were planning to use the entire second half of the year to stage

a comeback.

A comeback?

Not so easy.

Daring to bully his wife and thinking they could get away with it

was just a dream.

Roderick casually forwarded the files from Rebecca to Gerry.

Gerry: [Boss, what are your orders?]

Roderick: [Contact these banks and investment firms. If they

dare to fund the Klein group, they can expect me to cut ties.]

Chapter 188

On the other end of the line, Gerry was completely clueless at

that moment.

How did he not know the company was targeting the Klein

group recently?

Early in the morning, Rebecca showed up outside the lab with

dark circles under her eyes.

She stood by the roadside and yawned, looking utterly

exhausted.

“Roderick, you’re something else…”

Rebecca really couldn’t take it anymore, still cursing under her

breath.

If she hadn’t remembered she had things to do today and

couldn’t help him with his research, would she have stayed up

half the night?

Just as she let out her fifth yawn, Adrian showed up.

He pulled up next to Rebecca in a Land Rover, which was

completely out of character for him.

Chapter 188

The window rolled down. Adrian’s hair, which he usually wore

down, was slicked back, instantly elevating his look, especially
