Waking up with my nemesis baby novel Chapter 67

Chapter 67

The fireworks reflected in her eyes, flickering between light and

shadow, just like his heart at that moment.

He’d seen everything that just happened. He could tell

Madeleine was rejecting Edward.

It was because Madeleine had lost her memories of falling for

Edward over the past few years.

Her rejection of Edward now was real, but her infatuation with

him before she lost her memory was also real.

If one day she gets her memory back…

Roderick didn’t dare to think about it, his fingers tightening

unconsciously.

“Ah…”

Madeleine winced and looked down. Only then did Roderick

instinctively loosen his grip; he’d forgotten their fingers were

intertwined.

“Daddy, you hurt Mommy.”

Chapter 67

Kevin scolded his dad, grabbing Madeleine’s hand and blowing

on it gently.

“I’ll kiss it better, Mommy, so it doesn’t hurt. I’ll blow on it for

you.”

“It’s okay, Kev, Mommy’s not hurt.”

After Madeleine spoke, her gaze quickly swept over Roderick.

The fireworks changed patterns again, and gasps of awe rose from the crowd. The two of them acted as if nothing had

happened and looked up.

Roderick’s mind stirred. She had taken his hand on her own just

now.

Now that she’d let go, would she refuse if he reached out

again?

Roderick’s eyes fell on her again. Madeleine’s brow was slightly

furrowed; she was clearly lost in thought.

Roderick knew what she was thinking about.

In the haunted house just now, the way she looked at him was

filled with unease and confusion.

Chapter 67

She was worried he didn’t trust her.

How could he not trust her?

He just… didn’t trust himself.

Didn’t trust that he could ever mean more to her than Edward.

Didn’t trust how long this stolen happiness would last.

“Roderick.”

Madeleine suddenly turned her head and spoke, her voice so

soft it was almost drowned out by the fireworks, “In the

haunted house just now, I don’t know why Ed…”

“I know.”

Roderick cut her off, not wanting to hear her difficult

explanation, “Edward planned it on purpose.”

Madeleine was surprised at first, then frowned slightly, “No, I

was trying to say, just now my body felt like…”

Halfway through her sentence, another booming firework went

off, cutting her off.

Madeleine stopped abruptly. Who would believe her if she said

Chapter 67

something like that?

Even she thought it was absurd.

But Roderick misunderstood her pause, and his heart felt like it

had been stabbed.

Just as he thought. She still cared about Edward. Even with

amnesia, her body’s instincts didn’t lie.

“Mommy!”

Kevin suddenly pointed at the sky, “The biggest firework is

coming!”

A huge firework exploded in the night sky, illuminating their

three faces.

Roderick used the dazzling light to sneak a look at Madeleine’s

profile.

Her long eyelashes trembled, the tip of her nose was still

slightly red from the earlier scare, but her lips were a little pale.

Seeing her like this made his heart ache so much he could

barely breathe.

If… if she chose to leave after getting her memory back, what

Chapter 67

would he do?

The thought coiled around Roderick’s heart like a venomous

snake.

He remembered the look in Madeleine’s eyes when she looked

at Edward before her amnesia–that reckless obsession, that

moth–to–a–flame persistence.

And he could only ever stand in the shadows, watching her be

crazy about someone else.

When the fireworks ended, Madeleine walked out beside

Roderick. The little one excitedly chattered about the

spectacular fireworks show, and the two of them just listened

with a smile.
