Waking up with my nemesis baby novel Chapter 305

Chapter 305

She had a feeling it wasn’t that simple.

Charlotte didn’t seem like the type to be tied down by social

conventions.

“Do you know anything about what Charlotte’s been through

these past few years?

Did something happen to her?”

“Not much. I’ve already had someone look into it.”

“Then I guess we’ll just have to wait for news.”

“Wait? Easy for you to say.”

Bradley pointed to the dark circles under his eyes, looking at

Madeleine in exasperation. “Do I look like I can just wait

patiently?”

Madeleine figured he had a point.

She had to cure Bradley of this heartache.

Chapter 305

She had to. Roderick had told her that Bradley kept coming to

him for comfort whenever he had a spare moment.

Roderick was already busy with work; he didn’t have time to be

Bradley’s love guru.

“The first thing we need to do right now is to figure one thing

out.”

“What’s that?”

“Whether Charlotte actually likes you or not.”

Bradley rolled his eyes. “Why don’t you just ask her yourself,

then?”

If he could have figured that out, he would have done it already.

“Heh heh heh, that’s where I, the master strategist, come in.

Don’t worry, leave it to me.”

After they finished talking, Roderick and Kevin came over. The

family of three, plus Bradley, got in the car and headed out.

Roderick and Madeleine’s birthday gift was a set of custom-

made traditional Chinese–style furniture.

Ever since Mr. Whitman found out Owen had a traditional

Chapter 305

courtyard house, he never said anything, but he was actually

very envious.

So for his birthday, they decided to make his wish come true.

Rebecca bought an old house with a courtyard, Roderick and

Madeleine took care of the furniture, and Bradley, with his many

connections, hunted down some rare decorations and antiques.

At their age, they knew just how important it was to make their

elders happy.

The greatest fear in life is wanting to care for your parents

when they are no longer around.

Roderick had found this custom workshop a few months ago.

The master craftsmen were all master artisans of cultural

heritage, and their skill was far beyond the quality you’d find on

the market.

Months later, stepping inside again, they were enveloped by the

rich, heavy scent of wood that greeted them.

Unlike the semi–finished pieces they saw last time, what was on

display now were the completed works.

The master craftsman, with the unique pride and satisfaction of

Chapter 305

an artisan for his work, smiled and led them forward for a closer

look.

With just one glance, Madeleine couldn’t help but hold her

breath.

The Siamese Rosewood revealed its true charm, aged to

perfection. Its color was magnificent, with black grains on a

deep red base, like an ink wash landscape painting, full of

scholarly character.

The artisan tea table to the side was carved with intricate

patterns that looked incredibly lifelike.

Madeleine looked at it, unable to tear her eyes away.

“This is just too beautiful.”

Looking at them, she had only one thought.

Hmm… I should probably ask the craftsman about his schedule,

to see if he can rush another set. Otherwise, Owen will definitely

want one when he sees this.

Roderick, however, misunderstood her thoughts. He put his arm

around her shoulder and asked softly, “You like it?

Chapter 305

We can get a set too. I saw a nice old house in the East District

last time, and the price was right.”

Madeleine’s eyes widened when she heard that.

The East District… a historical preservation area. The old

houses there are astronomically expensive.

Even though I know your business is booming lately, Roderick,

that’s not how we should be spending our money.

She quickly shot him an annoyed glance.

“Stop spending money recklessly. We should be saving. We still

have to pay for our son’s college education in the future.”

The mischievous Kevin peeked over at them.

“You don’t have to, Mommy. I can earn my own tuition.”

“Oh, Kev, how can you earn tuition when you’re so little?”

“I can.”

Kevin tilted his head, thinking.

“Huh, Mommy, don’t you know I have money?”

Chapter 305

Her previous memories hadn’t fully returned, so Madeleine was

still unclear about many of the details.

Hearing this, she just turned to look at Roderick with a puzzled

expression.

Roderick chuckled. “Yeah, all his lucky money prizes and lucky money from birth until now, I opened an account and just

tossed it into the stock market.”

Madeleine pondered for a moment.

“So… how much is there?”

Roderick thought for a moment, then said tactfully, “As long as he’s not too extravagant, even if he never works or goes to

school and just loafs around for the rest of his life, he probably

won’t be able to spend it all.”

Madeleine: …
