Waking up with my nemesis baby novel Chapter 73

“That’s not what I meant, Mom.”

Madeleine didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “I just think it’s

strange. Could the Madeleine from the past have been a

different person?”

She didn’t know how to explain words like “soul possession” or

“soul transmigration” to her mother, so she could only explain it

vaguely.

Who knew that Clarissa understood even more than she did.

“Tch, you’re just trying to say your body was taken over, like in

one of those Time Travel genre stories, aren’t you?”

“Huh?

Mom, you even know about this stuff.”

“Of course. In the past few years, your mom here has watched

plenty of the novels and TV shows that young people like.”

Madeleine put her hand to her forehead.

Chapter 73

It seems the country’s cultural industry has really flourished these past few years.

Clarissa sighed and said, “I know what you’re thinking, but

Maddie, a mother can still tell if you’re her daughter or not.”

Madeleine’s eyelid twitched.

So what Mom meant was, for the past eight years, I was still

me?

“But Mom, didn’t you say I’ve changed in a lot of ways, like my

tastes and my style…”

“You did change, but… hmm, how do I say this… it doesn’t feel

like you changed because you wanted to. It’s hard to explain

over the phone.”

She heard her dad on the other end, urging her mom to go for a

walk, so her mom quickly told Madeleine not to overthink it.

“It’s okay, honey. In a few days, bring Roderick and Kev over for

dinner, and Mom will have a proper chat with you then.”

Click. The call ended.

Madeleine clutched her phone, a million questions running

Chapter 73

through her head.

What were her parents in such a rush for?

Wait, that’s not right. The main reason I called was to ask what

gift to bring for Owen. I didn’t get a single important thing done.

The thought of how that other version of her could be so cruel

to her own parents made Madeleine nervous.

Maybe I should just try to get out of it.

I’ll just say I’m not feeling well and have Roderick take the kid by

himself.

But that really wasn’t Madeleine’s style!

She was desperate to know what exactly had happened over

the past few years, and who that person who existed for eight

years really was.

At the same time, she also wanted to know who she had hurt

during those years. She had to make it up to them.

“Madeleine, oh Madeleine, from now on you’re not a softie,

you’re a piece of peanut brittle!

The kind that can’t be stomped on or crushed!”

Chapter 73

After changing her clothes and going downstairs, Madeleine

saw Kirsten and Roy carrying some gift boxes out of the house.

Madeleine took a look and saw they were all gift sets, with

things like royal jelly, Whiskey, and luxury wellness hampers.

Ricki was pretty thoughtful, actually remembering to prepare

gifts for his elders.

Just as she was about to go over and say she wanted to

contribute something too, Madeleine heard Kirsten scolding:

“Sir, honestly, why didn’t you tell us sooner about such huge

news, that your wife is pregnant?

That way I could have prepared more traditional health

supplements.”

Madeleine tripped over her own feet and nearly fell flat on her

face.

Who!

Who’s pregnant!

Roderick heard the noise and walked over, taking a couple of

steps to steady Madeleine.

“Are the shoes uncomfortable?”

“No…”

“Then it must be the carpet. Kirsten, let’s replace the carpet

tomorrow.”

Kirsten agreed and continued tidying up the gift boxes on the

table.

Madeleine quickly grabbed Roderick. “Who’s pregnant?”

Roderick’s eyes darkened slightly. Before he could speak, the

little guy poked his head over.

“Mommy, Grandma’s pregnant. I’m going to have a little brother

or a little sister.”

“You’ve got the titles wrong.”

Roderick tapped Kevin’s head lightly with two fingers. “You
