Waking up with my nemesis baby novel Chapter 268

Chapter 268

Now there was a chance like this to help her overcome her inner

demon.

It was a good thing.

Madeleine got home, thinking about what Leona had said.

Of course, she knew Leona’s whole “I’ll tell you in three months”

thing was just to provoke her.

If she fell for a simple provocation like that, she wouldn’t be

Madeleine.

If she wanted to know what was said back then, Madeleine

could just ask Roderick directly.

Roderick had just gotten home from work and wanted to get

close with Madeleine when he heard her question.

“Back then?”

Roderick frowned, as if he was having a hard time

remembering.

“Yeah, don’t say it didn’t happen. I saw it with my own eyes. You

two were talking, and her eyes were all red. You were probably

comforting her, right?”

As Madeleine spoke, she pouted. The movement was barely

noticeable, but Roderick still caught it.

He thought for a moment, then reached out and pulled

Madeleine, who was standing in front of him, onto his lap.

“I remember now.”

“You remember?”

Madeleine stared at him. “What did you two talk about?”

“I remember now. You were the one who lost the trophy that

day. Madeleine, did you lose the trophy because of this?”

Madeleine, who had been staring at Roderick for an answer, fell

right into his trap.

She opened her mouth, but couldn’t get the words out clearly.

“I did not!”

Madeleine instinctively shot back, but her eyes darted away. She tried to get off Roderick’s lap, but he held her waist firmly.

“Who cares what you two were talking about? I just… I just had a bad day, I wasn’t in a good mood!”

Roderick let out a low chuckle, his chest vibrating slightly. He

gently rubbed his chin against the top of her head, his tone knowing and a little teasing:

“Oh?

Just a bad day?

Not because you saw me talking to another girl and got jealous?”

“Who’s jealous?”

Madeleine was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, instantly bristling, but her cheeks flushed against her will.

“Don’t flatter yourself. I was… I just hate Leona, that’s right, I

hate her!”

“Really?”

Roderick raised an eyebrow, deliberately drawing out his tone,

his deep gaze locked on her darting eyes.

“It really wasn’t because you liked me back then, so…”

“Roderick!”

Madeleine cut him off, flustered and annoyed, reaching to cover

his mouth. The tips of her ears were bright red. “Don’t say

another word!”

Roderick smoothly caught her mischievous hand, holding it in

his palm. The smile on his face faded, and he became serious.

He sighed, pulling her a little closer into his embrace.

“Okay, I’ll stop teasing you.”

He said in a low voice, his fingertips gently stroking the back of

her hand, “That day, I was talking to her, but I wasn’t comforting

her.”

Madeleine stopped struggling and looked up at him, confused.

“I was asking her if she knew about the rumors.”

Roderick’s gaze grew calm, holding a hint of a businessman’s

cold edge. “My tone was probably a bit harsh, and she started

crying.”

“I told her in no uncertain terms that the Livingston family wouldn’t stand by while someone damaged your reputation with

dirty tricks.

If she tried any more tricks, or if those rumors had anything to

do with her, the consequences would be more than she could

handle.”

Roderick’s tone was calm, but after he finished, he looked a

little regretful.

“The rumors eventually died down, but my investigation showed

it really had nothing to do with Leona herself.”

Madeleine was stunned.

She had never thought the truth would be like this.

At the time, she had only seen Leona’s red–rimmed eyes and
