Waking up with my nemesis baby novel Chapter 239

Chapter 239

“Okay, please let me know when you find the number.”

After hanging up, Leona took another deep look at Madeleine

on the screen.

She slammed the laptop shut.

After the arts festival, Kevin had a few days off, and Madeleine

planned to use this time to ask Rebecca and the others out for

a meal.

And to get some gossip, of course.

Ever since she found out Adrian had gone to Rebecca’s house

last time, Madeleine had been pestering Rebecca about it.

She would always stammer and wouldn’t give a clear answer.

When Madeleine wanted to pin her down for a proper

explanation, she just went on a business trip out of town and

only got back yesterday.

That’s not acceptable!

As Rebecca’s dear bestie, Madeleine had to protect her love

life.

After texting Rebecca, Madeleine was a little worried.

“Ricki, we have to figure out a way to get Professor Shaw to

come too. Do you have any good ideas?”

“No.”

Roderick said bluntly, “I don’t know him well.”

Madeleine sighed in disappointment.

“But.”

Roderick spoke up again, and Madeleine quickly turned her

head excitedly to look at him.

“Why do we need to know him that well?”

He took out his phone, found Adrian’s number, and called it

without hesitation.

Madeleine rushed over to listen, and Roderick pulled her onto

his lap.

The call connected quickly, and Adrian’s calm voice came

through the speakerphone.

“Mr. Livingston?”

“Professor Shaw, hope you’ve been well.”

“You’re too kind, Mr. Livingston. Is there something I can help

you with?”

Roderick glanced at Madeleine’s expectant little look, raised an

eyebrow, and said, “Here’s the thing, my wife mentioned she’s

planning to invite a few friends to relax tomorrow. I heard your

family has a private mountain lodge in The Alps with a nice

view?

I was wondering if we could borrow it for a couple of days.”

There was a brief silence on the other end of the line.

Adrian probably didn’t expect Roderick to know so much about

his family background.

And he certainly didn’t expect him to ask to borrow it so directly.

A moment later, Adrian’s voice came through again, with a

barely perceptible hint of resignation and amusement:

“Mr. Livingston, you’re certainly well–informed. My mother does.

have a small house in The Alps. It’s usually empty. Since Mrs.

Livingston wants to have a get–together with friends, I’ll contact

the housekeeper to arrange it.”

“No need to trouble Professor Shaw to arrange it personally.”

Roderick said in a steady tone, “Then thank you, Mr. Shaw.”

“You’re welcome.”

The call ended. Madeleine blinked a couple of times, looking at

her phone, then at Roderick’s.

“That’s it?”

Roderick nodded.

Madeleine’s eyes widened. “No… what’s the point of this? My

goal wasn’t to borrow the estate, it was to trick Professor Shaw

into coming over.”

“Silly girl.”

Roderick flicked Madeleine’s forehead with two fingers.

“The smell of fish is in the air. Are you worried the greedy cat won’t show up?”

Madeleine froze for a second, then slapped her thigh.

“Right! Ricki, you’re really something else!”

Roderick raised an eyebrow but just smiled without saying a

word.

Sigh, they were both men. How could he not understand

another man?

“Let’s invite a few more people. What about Bradley? What’s he

been up to lately?”

Madeleine snatched the phone from Roderick’s hand and

started scrolling through Bradley’s moments.

After she was done, her jaw almost hit the floor.

“Isn’t this the blind date my mom set him up with!

Are they really together?”

For the past few days, Bradley’s moments were all about his

blind date, Isabella.

The two of them were eating together, taking pictures, and

checking in at various spots.
