Waking up with my nemesis baby novel Chapter 76

Madeleine said tentatively, “Actually, I’ve decided to live a good

life with Roderick from now on. I won’t go after Edward

anymore.”

“What?”

Mrs. Miller exclaimed, her hand trembling as she poured the

tea, causing it to spill.

Looking at her face again, it was clearly a bit pale.

Such a big reaction?

Could it be that me not being with Edward was such a huge

deal to her?

“Maddie, why did you suddenly change? Don’t you like Edward?”

Mrs. Miller’s mood suddenly became very agitated.

She suddenly grabbed Madeleine’s wrist, a bit forcefully,

desperate to find an answer.

Madeleine winced and pulled her hand back, saying firmly, “I

Chapter 76

don’t like Edward anymore, Mrs. Miller. I don’t like him now.”

Those words seemed to hit Mrs. Miller hard. Her face changed again, her expression pained, and she raised a hand to press

hard against her head.

“Mrs. Miller?”

Madeleine froze, then quickly stepped forward to ask, “What’s

wrong with you?”

“You don’t like him… How could that be?”

“No, impossible. You’re supposed to like Edward.”

“Ah… my head hurts so much.”

Seeing Mrs. Miller like this, an image of Edward in the haunted

house flashed through Madeleine’s mind.

Wasn’t she just like this back then? A sudden, splitting

headache without any warning, like her brain was about to

explode.

What happened back then?

Madeleine gritted her teeth and recalled that scene. She was in

Edward’s arms at the time, wanting to push him away, but for

Chapter 76

some reason, the moment that thought crossed her mind, her

head would start to hurt.

That feeling, it was as if she was being controlled.

Controlled?

Madeleine’s eyelids twitched. She grabbed Mrs. Miller’s arm, a

little agitated, and pressed,

“Mrs. Miller, is someone forcing you to set me up with Edward?”

Mrs. Miller thought through the pain, shaking her head with

difficulty. “No, no one.”

“Then why do you think I should like Edward?”

“Why… why…”

Mrs. Miller muttered, not knowing if she was asking Madeleine

or herself.

She didn’t understand. Setting up Madeleine and Edward?

Right, why would she do that? It’s not like there was anything in

it for her if they got together.

“It hurts so much…”

Chapter 76

Mrs. Miller’s pain intensified, and she broke out in a cold sweat.

It wasn’t just her head; she placed a hand on her lower

abdomen, which seemed to be starting to hurt as well.

Madeleine immediately regretted pushing her and stood up to

go find Roderick and the others.

“Cynthia!”

Just then, Owen walked in, saw the scene, and got the wrong

idea.

He rushed over anxiously, pushed past Madeleine, and steadied

Mrs. Miller.

Madeleine stumbled sideways, losing her balance. Just as she

was about to hit the nearby cabinet, Roderick’s large hand

wrapped around her.

“Are you okay?”

“I’m fine.”

Madeleine shook her head, and the next second, she heard

Owen’s angry shout: “Madeleine!

Haven’t you caused enough trouble for my son and grandson?

Chapter 76

Mrs. Miller likes you so much, how could you have the heart to

hurt her!”

“I didn’t.”

Madeleine quickly protested.

The hand on her waist tightened. Before Madeleine could figure

out how to defend herself, Roderick’s deep voice sounded from

right above her-

“She didn’t hurt Mrs. Miller. What gives you the right to push

her.”

Owen’s face fell instantly.

It was one thing when he used to scold Madeleine and that kid

Roderick would step in to protect her.

But today, she’d gone too far!

“Owen…”

Mrs. Miller spoke up, her voice soft, as she grabbed the corner

of Owen’s shirt.

“Diane, are you alright?”
