Waking up with my nemesis baby novel Chapter 252

But Charlotte didn’t say anything for a long time, and finally

picked up the glass on the table.

“I think I’ll just drink.”

Bradley’s lips curved slightly.

But before his smile could fully form, Charlotte’s hand was

pressed back down by Simon.

He chuckled. “Is that question really so hard to answer?

Save Bradley. I can swim.”

Charlotte laughed along with him.

“That’s true.”

Bradley said nothing. His eyes swept over the spot where

Simon had just touched Charlotte’s hand, then he grabbed his

glass and chugged a mouthful of alcohol.

Too slow.

Chapter 252

Drinking like this is too slow.

After one round of the game, he had barely drunk anything.

Across from him, Madeleine was also frustrated. After one

round of the game, she hadn’t gotten any gossip.

They were all adults, each with their own deep thoughts. If

someone really wanted to hide their hidden agenda, a game of

truth or dare wasn’t going to trick it out of them.

“Bored?”

Roderick wrapped his arm around Madeleine’s waist and asked

softly.

“Not really.”

“Want to go for a walk?”

He said, leaning close to Madeleine’s earlobe, “I want to kiss

you.”

Madeleine’s cheeks turned red.

This guy. He’d barely had two drinks, how did he get so bold?

Roderick didn’t even wait for Madeleine to answer, just pulled

her to her feet.

“We’re done hanging out here. We’re going for a walk.”

Leaving the group in the courtyard, the couple swaggered out.

“Should we really be doing this?”

Roderick raised an eyebrow. “What’s wrong with it?”

“They’re all still back there.”

“Aren’t we out here to have fun? They can have their fun, and

we need to have ours.”

Besides, she couldn’t really think they came out today just to

watch the drama unfold, could she?

They’d both been busy with work lately, and the little time they

had at home had to be spent with their son.

Roderick had been pent up for a while, and he was definitely

going to use this chance to get some alone time together.

Even if it was just for a little while, it would be enough.

The two of them walked slowly along the cobblestone path, the faint, intoxicating scent of unknown wildflowers drifting from

the roadside.

Roderick came to a stop.

He turned and pulled Madeleine into his arms.

Madeleine tilted her head up slightly, meeting his deep eyes.

The setting sun shone down, landing on his well–defined face,

softening his usual coldness and painting it with an

indescribable look of focus.

“What?”

His gaze made Madeleine’s heart skip a beat, and she couldn’t

help but instinctively lick her dry lips.

The gesture was practically an invitation.

Roderick’s gaze darkened in an instant, like a bottomless

vortex.

“Back inside, I almost couldn’t hold back.”

He raised his hand, his warm fingertips gently brushing the

corner of Madeleine’s mouth.

Before Madeleine could even react, his lips were on hers.

Chapter 252

Gentle, lingering, and filled with intense desire.

He captured her lips, sucking on them delicately, as if savoring

the world’s most precious honey.

Their breaths mingled, a mix of the crisp scent of alcohol and

her faint, sweet fragrance, intoxicating.

Madeleine soon melted into his arms, her arms wrapping

around his neck, responding with inexperienced but passionate

fervor.

All her thoughts vanished. Her world was reduced to his

scorching breath, his searing lips and tongue, his strong,

powerful heartbeat, and the addictive warmth of his embrace.

After what felt like an eternity, Roderick pulled back slightly,

resting his forehead against hers. His breathing was heavy, his

eyes still dark with raw desire.

Madeleine’s cheeks were flushed, her eyes shimmering. She

leaned against him, panting softly, her lips glistening, swollen

and tempting from his kisses.

“Mrs. Livingston,” he murmured, his voice impossibly hoarse as

he nuzzled her with the tip of his nose, “still bored?”
