Waking up with my nemesis baby novel Chapter 208

“That’s not it at all. It’s just that she seems off, isn’t she? I’ve

never seen her like this.”

Roderick pondered for a moment and nodded, “It is very

unusual.”

“Do you think it’s because of that Professor Shaw?”

“Most likely.”

“No, we have to do something.”

Madeleine suddenly perked up. Rebecca was her best friend

now, after all. She couldn’t just watch her friend suffer.

Thinking this, Madeleine patted Roderick’s shoulder and said

with a serious expression:

“Honey, it’s going to be tough on you for the next few days. Just

focus on your work.”

“Hmm?”

Roderick was a little confused, but when he heard her say she

Chapter 208

was going to spend all her time and energy with Rebecca, his

face darkened completely.

Isn’t one evening enough?

Madeleine quickly wrapped her arms around his neck, stood on

her tiptoes, and touched his lips with hers again.

“Rebecca has helped us so much. Now that she has a problem,

we have to help her solve it.”

Roderick sighed internally.

He nodded, “I know. Go on.”

“I knew you weren’t that petty. I’ll go down now, you get back to

work.”

“Mm–hmm.”

Madeleine went out, then poked her head back in, “Remember

to drink your water.”

Watching her, Roderick couldn’t help but break into a smile after

all.

So cute.

Chapter 208

Back downstairs, Rebecca was leaning against the sofa, staring

at Madeleine with a half–smile.

“Why are you looking at me like that?

Is there something on my face?”

“No, I was just wondering… why it took you so long to bring

some water. What were you up to?”

Madeleine was already feeling flustered, and Rebecca’s words

made her face flush even redder.

She looked away, embarrassed.

Rebecca smiled and didn’t press the issue. The young couple

was in the thick of their romance; it was already nice of them to

be willing to spend time with her.

“Rebecca, are you in a bad mood?”

“What makes you say that?”

“It’s obvious. Kevin even secretly told me just now, asking if you

were sick.”

Rebecca gave a dry laugh.

That little guy is getting so sharp.

“Rebecca, if you’re feeling unhappy, you can try to let it out.”

“How do I let it out?”

“Like, having a good cry?”

Rebecca’s lips twitched into a smile. “I don’t even remember the

last time I cried. Stop joking.”

Madeleine looked surprised.

She rubbed her chin, thinking for a moment.

“I have an idea!”

…

The media room.

Madeleine put on a movie she had carefully selected, “Hachi: A

Dog’s Tale,” and took a deep breath, tissues in hand.

“Let’s start.”

Rebecca nodded, a little confused, and turned her attention to

Chapter 208

the movie.

Half an hour later.

“Sob… sob…”

Tears streamed down Madeleine’s face like an open floodgate.

Rebecca had been thinking the movie was quite touching, but

when she turned to see Madeleine crying, she almost couldn’t

help but laugh.

The tissues in her hand were already soaked with tears, so

Rebecca had to open a new pack to wipe them for her.

“Alright, alright, don’t cry.”

She gently patted Madeleine’s back, as if comforting a child.

Madeleine sobbed, her eyes red like a little rabbit’s, but she still

managed to turn and look at her:

“No, but… why aren’t you crying? This movie is so touching…”

Rebecca gave an awkward smile. “I don’t cry easily.”

Madeleine: …

Chapter 208

So much for her great idea.

They didn’t finish the movie in the end; Madeleine was crying

too hard.

The two of them lay in the massage chairs, chatting with their

eyes closed.
