Waking up with my nemesis baby novel Chapter 77

Roderick nodded. Although his tone was cold, his reply was polite.

Owen supported Mrs. Miller, glancing at the two as he passed,

then put his focus back on Mrs. Miller.

Madeleine let out a long sigh and looked down to find

Roderick’s arm was still around her waist.

He seems to be getting addicted to holding me.

Feeling Roderick’s warmth, Madeleine couldn’t help but

remember the scene of them sleeping together last night.

And that kiss…

Madeleine couldn’t help but shiver, quickly breaking free from Roderick’s hand and taking half a step back.

Roderick glanced at his empty right hand, said nothing, and

casually slipped it into his pocket.

“Just now, Mrs. Miller hadn’t even said anything, and you already believed me?”

Chapter 77

Madeleine tried hard to distract herself.

Stupid brain, forget what happened last night!

Roderick gave a calm “mm“.

“Why did you believe me?”

“You’re my wife, why wouldn’t I believe you?”

Roderick’s answer was so natural it made Madeleine’s question

seem a bit stupid.

Seeing her complicated expression, Roderick said in a low

voice, “Before you lost your memory, you did some outrageous

things, but you never went so far as to hurt others.”

After saying this, Roderick paused, refuting his own words in his

mind.

You didn’t hurt others, because the only one you ever hurt was

me…

Look at what you did to my heart.

“Not to mention you’ve forgotten that part of your memory now.

You have no grudge against Mrs. Miller, so why would you hurt

her for no reason? Are you that bored?”

Chapter 77

Madeleine thought this analysis made a lot of sense.

She asked again, “I didn’t hurt other people before?”

“No physical harm. The wounds were all emotional.”

Roderick’s tone became a few shades deeper.

He was probably recalling those bad memories, and the light in

his eyes dimmed.

During that time, Madeleine acted so unreasonably, breaking

the hearts of everyone around her.

But she wasn’t some horrible person. She didn’t like being

around Kevin, but the most she ever did was lock him out of a

room. She never laid a hand on him.

Even with Mathew and Kirsten, her demands were difficult and

harsh, but she wouldn’t really do anything if they didn’t do

things her way.

Everything she did was because of her obsession with getting

closer to Edward.

As Madeleine listened, a few familiar feelings flickered in her

mind, but when she tried to grasp them, they slipped away.

Chapter 77

Her head started to hurt.

Madeleine swayed, unsteady on her feet, and reached out to

grab Roderick.

“Ricki.”

She hesitated, then asked the same question she had asked her

mother today:

“In the past few years, have you ever felt like my soul… was

replaced by someone else’s?”

Roderick frowned, confused at first, then he realized what she

was asking.

He raised his hands and held both of Madeleine’s arms,

bending slightly to meet her gaze.

Then, he said slowly and deliberately:

C

No, you are you. You are Madeleine. That hasn’t changed.”

Madeleine was on the verge of tears, her voice trembling. “But

why did I become like that?

Ricki, you’ve known me for so many years. You should know I’m

not that cold–hearted, not that stubborn.”

Chapter 77

As she finished speaking, the tears she’d been holding back

finally fell.

His heart aching, Roderick held his breath and raised his hand,

gently wiping her tears away with his fingertips.

“I know. Of course, I know.”

His tone softened.

“That’s why for the past eight years, I’ve hoped every day that

you would…”

Roderick choked up.

What he wanted to say was that he’d hoped every day you

would turn around and see me.

But the words that came out were: “I’ve hoped every day that
