Waking up with my nemesis baby novel Chapter 69

Chapter 69

His gaze was so complex–pain, desire, anger, restraint… all

these emotions tangled together, making Madeleine’s heart

clench.

“I just want to tell you…” She took a deep breath and rushed the

words out, “If one day I get my memory back, and I turn back

into the old Madeleine…”

Roderick’s gaze turned icy in an instant, his grip tightening

unconsciously. “So what?”

“I want you to kick me out. Preferably far away, the farther the

better.”

Madeleine looked him straight in the eye and said, word by

word, “Don’t let me keep hurting you and Kev.”

The air seemed to freeze.

Roderick’s expression shifted from shock to disbelief, and

finally to a rage bordering on despair.

He suddenly cupped the back of her head, his alcohol–tinged lips pressing down hard on hers.

Author’s Note:

Aunt Flo is here and my cramps are killing me, boohoo, but thinking about them getting to kiss tonight, I still forced myself

to finish two chapters. I desperately need some praise!

Roderick’s kiss was rough, as if he was pouring all his unspeakable pain into it.

Madeleine was startled, and then the kiss started to hurt. The

air was trapped in her chest, and she couldn’t breathe.

“Mmph…”

Madeleine struggled to push him away, but Roderick was

already strong, and now that he was drunk, it was impossible to

move him.

oderick panted, growling beside her, “Why does it always have

be what you say? Madeleine, you’re so selfish.”

“It’s not that, I…”

Roderick didn’t give Madeleine a chance to speak.

Her words were once again drowned out by a crushing kiss.

Chapter 69

It was like a rising wave, crashing over Madeleine, engulfing her

until she couldn’t breathe.

For Madeleine, with the memories of her eighteen–year–old self,

this was her first kiss.

She had no technique, no idea what to do, not even knowing

how to move her lips or tongue.

“I don’t care…” Roderick murmured against her lips, his hot

breath on her face, “Even if you get your memories back, I won’t

let go.”

It sounded like he was saying it to Madeleine, but also to

himself.

His kiss gradually softened, becoming careful and cherishing as

it moved from her lips to her earlobe.

Madeleine already felt like she couldn’t breathe, and now he

was making her whole body tremble.

“Roderick, don’t do this.”

She was scared and used all her strength to try and push him

away.

But then, she realized the man on top of her had stopped

moving. All she could hear was his hot breath by her ear.

“Roderick?”

Madeleine patted his shoulder and called his name.

The only response was his long, even breathing.

He was… asleep!

?

Madeleine blinked a couple of times, and it took a moment for

her to process what had happened.

She couldn’t help but look up at the ceiling as countless

thoughts raced through her mind.

It seems like those TV dramas weren’t lying.

People really do fall asleep in the middle of a kiss…

Roderick seemed even heavier now that he was asleep, and

Madeleine couldn’t get him up to take him to a room.

Luckily, the study’s sofa was big enough. She moved the throw

pillows out of the way and laid Roderick down flat on it.

Chapter 69

“Phew…”

Just from doing all that, Madeleine was already tired and

covered in a thin layer of sweat.

Even though it was still hot during this Indian summer, the

nights always had a bit of a chill.

If he slept on the sofa just like this, Roderick would definitely

get cold.
