Waking up with my nemesis baby novel Chapter 302

He was terrified of losing her.

Experiencing that kind of fear just once was enough to brand it

into his very bones.

So when their son innocently said he wanted a little sister, the

sealed–up, terrifying memories burst forth, causing him to

nearly lose control.

Madeleine’s heart felt like it was soaking in warm acid, swelling

and aching.

She finally, completely understood his extreme reaction back

then.

It wasn’t that he didn’t love the child, but that he loved her too

much.

Loved her so much he couldn’t bear even the slightest risk of

losing her.

“I’m so sorry.”

Her nose tingled, not because she’d done anything wrong, but

Chapter 302

because her heart ached for the psychological trauma he’d

carried alone for so many years. “I made you worry for so long.”

“Silly.”

Roderick pulled her deeper into his embrace, resting his chin on

the top of her head, his voice muffled. “I’m the one who should

be sorry. I failed to protect you, I let you suffer so much.”

Madeleine shook her head forcefully in his arms. “It wasn’t your

fault.”

It’s a hurdle every mother might face; hers just happened to be

especially dangerous.

She looked up, saw his still–tense jawline, and deliberately

spoke in a lighthearted tone.

“But look, I’m perfectly fine now, aren’t I?

Alive and kicking, and I can still piss you off!”

Roderick looked down at her forced, cheerful smile, and the

gloom in his eyes finally lifted a little. He couldn’t help but lean

down and kiss her forehead:

“Yeah. It’s best that you’re okay.”

Chapter 302

In the following days, the atmosphere at the Livingston family villa became exceptionally… warm, even a little overly so.

It was as if that dream had opened up Madeleine’s energy

channels, and many forgotten details and emotions came

rushing back.

A huge sense of guilt and the precious feeling of having them

back drove her to want to give Roderick and her son the best of

everything in the world.

Towards Roderick, she was so considerate it was almost scary.

When Roderick came downstairs, breakfast wasn’t just ready; it

was prepared precisely to his preferred level of soft–boiled egg

and coffee temperature.

It also came with an energetic good–morning kiss and some

over–the–top compliments like, “Hubby, you look so handsome

today.”

When he went to the office, she would even call him during her

two–minute dance breaks to check in.

“Are you tired?”

“Remember to drink water!”

“Did Gerry remind you to eat?”

Sometimes the call would come right in the middle of a

meeting, and Roderick would never hesitate to answer.

Madeleine’s voice would echo in the quiet conference room,

and even Gerry couldn’t help but feel embarrassed for his boss.

But the boss himself was quite pleased and didn’t feel

embarrassed at all.

As for her son, Kevin, Madeleine had switched to “unlimited

spoiling” mode.

The snacks that were once restricted were now allowed in a

small portion every day, and she would even eat with him,

calling it “doubling the joy of sharing.”

The educational cartoons he used to have to watch were now

replaced with his favorite dinosaur team show, and Madeleine

would even endure the boredom to discuss with him which

dinosaur was stronger.

The bedtime stories increased from one book to three, told with

lively expression and even role–playing, and she often ended up falling asleep before her son did.

What confused little Kevin the most was the way his mom

looked at him, always filled with a certain… um… something he

couldn’t describe. It was as if he were a priceless, long–lost

treasure, making her want to lean in for kisses and hugs while

looking at him, muttering, “Mommy’s precious Kev.”
