aught off guard, Madeleine met his deep eyes, a turbulent
undercurrent swirling within them that made her forget how to
react for a moment.
“What’s wrong?”
“Mrs. Livingston.”
His voice dropped, laced with a barely perceptible accusation,
“Is your attention, perhaps, in the wrong place?”
Madeleine blinked, not yet understanding. “Huh?
I’m making plans with someone. I’ll get to see them
tomorrow…”
Before she could finish, Roderick’s kiss had already landed,
sealing all her unspoken words.
The kiss was undeniably dominant, with a hint of punishment,
stealing her breath and instantly sweeping away all thoughts of
her best friend’s gossip and her friend’s love life.
“Mmph…”
Chapter 240
Madeleine let out a subconscious soft moan, her phone
slipping from her hand onto the sofa.
She was held firmly in his embrace, able to do nothing but
passively accept the sudden, passionate kiss. Her brain slowly
became deprived of oxygen, but her body honestly softened,
her arms involuntarily wrapping around his neck.
Only when she was breathless, her eyes glistening, did Roderick
pull back slightly.
His forehead rested against hers, his breathing also a little
heavy.
His thumb caressed her slightly swollen lips, his voice hoarse,
“Is the gossip more interesting than me?
Hmm?”
Only then did Madeleine belatedly realize that her dear Ricki
was jealous, annoyed that she had neglected him,
She couldn’t help but let out a chuckle, her heart bubbling with
sweetness as she deliberately teased him:
“Oh, it’s not the same. Gossip is food for the soul, and you
are…”
Chapter 240
“What am I?”
Roderick narrowed his eyes, closing in menacingly.
Madeleine laughed and tried to dodge, but he only held her
tighter.
She leaned close to his ear, her breath warm and fragrant, her
voice soft and alluring, “You’re my life… Mmph…”
Before the words were out, she was kissed again.
This time, the kiss was lingering and urgent, filled with obvious
desire.
Roderick swept her up into his arms and strode toward the
bedroom.
“Ah!”
Madeleine let out a small cry, instinctively tightening her arms
around his neck, “My phone… I haven’t finished making the
plans…”
“We’ll deal with it tomorrow.”
Roderick’s voice was impossibly hoarse.
Chapter 240
He kicked open the bedroom door, gently placed her on the soft
bed, and then covered her with his body, his shadow completely
enveloping her.
“Now, Mrs. Livingston, you only need to focus on me.”
Fiery kisses fell again, from her lips to her neck, leaving a trail of
suggestive marks.
All of Madeleine’s protests and thoughts were shattered, and
she could only sink under his lead, her fingertips digging into
his broad back.
Outside, the moonlight was hazy; inside, the passion was in full
bloom.
Madeleine woke up feeling sore all over, and as soon as she
opened her eyes, she met Roderick’s satisfied and gentle gaze.
Remembering last night’s wildness, her cheeks flushed. She
shot him a playful glare, only to receive a deeper good morning
kiss in return.
“Hurry and get up, we still have to go to the private mountain
lodge!”
Chapter 240
Madeleine pushed him.
Her legs might have felt like jelly, but she was out of bed in a
flash.
Roderick gave a wry smile.
Watching the drama unfold really is a primal motivation.
The family got everything packed and ready to head to the
private mountain lodge.
The car drove smoothly along the winding mountain road, the
scenery outside pleasant.
Madeleine watched her son, who was excitedly looking all
around, and suddenly remembered something.
She spoke to the little guy, her tone gentle but with a hint of
seriousness that was hard to detect:
“Kev, Mommy wants to tell you something.”
