Waking up with my nemesis baby novel Chapter 336

Chapter 336

His hand was large with well–defined knuckles. It was usually

warm and strong, but now it felt a little cold. .

She pressed his hand against her cheek, trying to warm it with

her own body heat.

“Roderick.”

She called his name in a low voice, as soft as a whisper.

“Bradley said you’re just too tired and a good sleep will fix it. So

sleep well. I’ll be right here with you.”

She rambled on for a bit, about how Kevin was being good, how

Mrs. Miller’s condition was stable, and how he didn’t need to

worry about the company with Gerry looking after it… Her voice

gradually faded as she went on.

The constant mental stress and emotional roller coaster had

left Madeleine utterly exhausted.

She had only planned to rest by his bedside for a bit, but an

overwhelming sleepiness washed over her.

She gently rested her head on her folded arms, her cheek

against the back of Roderick’s hand, feeling the faint beat of his

pulse, a rhythm that seemed to have a reassuring magic.

Her eyelids grew heavier and heavier, and finally, she fell into a

deep sleep.

In her drowsy sleep, she felt as if she had fallen into a sun-

drenched afternoon.

The noisy chirping of cicadas filled her ears, and the air was

thick with the sweet scent of gardenias and… a faint, familiar

smell of disinfectant?

No, that smell was quickly overpowered by the scent of fresh

grass on campus.

She looked down and saw she was actually wearing that ugly

standardized school uniform, clutching a slightly wrinkled SAT

admission ticket, damp with sweat.

Around her were classmates cheering, jumping for joy, and

throwing their textbooks at each other to celebrate their

“liberation.”

Wait, this scene… is this the day the SATS ended?

The setting sun was warm, and a gentle breeze carried the

smell of the rubber track and youthful sweat.

Madeleine was hunched over the freezer at the school tuck

shop, torn between an Old–Fashioned Popsicle and a Mung

Bean Popsicle. Her family didn’t let her eat these things, so she

always finished them at school before going home.

Someone gave the back of her collar a light tug.

“Tsk, taking this long to choose? Can’t make a choice to save

your life?”

She didn’t need to turn around. From that punchable tone alone,

Madeleine knew it was Roderick.

She irritably slapped his hand away. “None of your business! Go

eat your own thing!”

Roderick was holding a cold, sweating bottle of soda. He hadn’t

drunk any, just leaned against the adjacent freezer, his eyes

fixed on the back of her head while his mouth kept running:

“Look at you. Trying to figure out the secrets of the universe

from a popsicle?

You’re so slow.”

Madeleine finally chose the Mung Bean Popsicle, paid, tore

open the wrapper, and took a huge bite. The cold made her

teeth ache, and only then did she glare at him.

“Ricki, if you’ve got nothing better to do, go help sweep the

streets. Why come over here and personally attack me out of

boredom?”

Roderick didn’t answer. His gaze swept over the corner of her mouth, which had a smudge of green mung bean, before

quickly looking away.

The tips of his ears turned an almost imperceptible shade of

red.

He twisted open the soda cap, held it out to her, his tone still

stiff. “Here. It’s for you.”

Madeleine stared at the soda offered to her, stunned for a

moment.

Did the sun rise in the west?

Her arch–nemesis was offering her a drink?

She watched him warily. “What’s this for?

Is it poisoned?”

Roderick almost crushed the soda bottle, gritting his teeth.

“Madeleine, what the hell goes on in that head of yours?

Take it or leave it!”

That’s what he said, but he didn’t pull his hand back.

Madeleine took it dubiously and had a small sip. It was cold,
