Waking up with my nemesis baby novel Chapter 219

“Ricki!”

Madeleine was speechless and playfully punched his arm.

Kirsten, who was on the balcony watering the plants, didn’t

quite hear and poked her head in, watering can in hand.

“Sir, Ma’am, who’s going to kiss a turtle?

You can’t kiss those things. Back home, someone I know had

their finger bitten off by a turtle.”

She shivered as she said it.

If you kissed it, it would bite right through your lips

Madeleine’s mouth twitched when she heard what Kirsten said,

and she looked embarrassed.

“No, Kirsten, nobody’s kissing a turtle. We were just joking.”

Kirsten sighed in relief and smiled.

“You young people are so funny, you can joke about anything.”

After sitting for a while longer, seeing it was about time,

Roderick patted the bottom of Madeleine’s foot.

“Go get changed. It’s time to go.”

“Ugh… is it time already?”

Madeleine turned to look at the time and sighed in frustration,

“This is so annoying. I have to see that face again.”

Hearing this, Roderick raised an eyebrow.

“Then you can just look at me the whole time.”

Madeleine burst out laughing, “Wouldn’t my neck get sore

then?”

The smile on Roderick’s face vanished, replaced by a serious

expression.

He stared at Madeleine.

“If I’m the one you have to look at, I’m more than willing.”

Maybe it was because Roderick’s gaze was too intense,

Madeleine’s heart started pounding.

She couldn’t help but stammer, “I, uh, you know, I’m going to get

Chapter 219

changed. Wait for me, okay?”

With that, Madeleine quickly pulled her legs back from Roderick

and bolted out of the study.

Roderick watched her retreating figure and couldn’t help but

smile.

Still so easy to fluster. He hadn’t even really tried.

Ten minutes later, Madeleine and Roderick left, having changed

their clothes. Roderick had prepared the outfits, intentionally

choosing similar colors so they looked like a matching couple’s

set.

Madeleine didn’t even have to think to figure out his little

scheme.

She couldn’t help but chuckle, turning to poke Roderick with her

finger.

“Ricki, you really haven’t changed a bit.”

“Hm?”

“So petty.”

This wasn’t the first time Madeleine had called Roderick petty,

Chapter 219

but every time, she found his pettiness was always about her.

She giggled and linked her arm through Roderick’s.

Roderick was in a great mood, a smile on his face as they

entered the venue.

Inside the venue.

Edward was sitting in the front row with an empty seat beside

him, one he had saved for Fiona.

But Fiona hadn’t come.

Edward frowned, taking out his phone to text a subordinate.

[Where’s Fiona?]

The subordinate replied quickly.

[Sorry, sir. I haven’t been able to reach Fiona yet.]

Edward’s frown deepened.

This wasn’t like Fiona.

In the past, whenever he had an event, she would always come, and even thoughtfully help him prepare the clothes he needed

Chapter 219

to wear.

But this time, not only did she not prepare his clothes, she didn’t

even show up.

Did something happen?

After a moment’s hesitation, Edward found Fiona on Facebook

and sent her a message.

[Fiona?

Why didn’t you come to the bid meeting?]

He sent the message and stared at his phone for a full two

minutes, but there was no reply.

His breath hitched.

This unusual behavior made him feel a strange sense of panic.

Why did it seem like everything was spinning out of his control

lately?

As he was pondering, a commotion erupted behind him, and

Edward turned his head.

It was Roderick and Madeleine, walking in together.
