Waking up with my nemesis baby novel Chapter 80

With that thought, Madeleine squatted down, cupped her chin

with one hand, and asked Kevin.

“Maddie, are you and Aunt Rebecca good friends?”

“Yeah.”

Kevin nodded, “Aunt Rebecca is Dad’s good friend. Dad says

she’s someone you can trust.”

Hiss…

Madeleine narrowed her eyes, thought for a moment, and asked

again, “Then what about Aunt Rebecca’s relationship with

Mommy?”

“Uh?”

The little guy was stumped.

Her relationship with Mommy?

Why is she asking me?

Chapter 80

He was just a kid, after all. Since she asked, he answered

obediently:

“Not good.”

Madeleine: Just as I thought.

Kevin continued, “Aunt Rebecca and Mommy both hate each

other. Dad said you two… your star signs don’t match or

something.”

“Our star signs don’t match.”

Madeleine’s lips twitched.

“Mommy, don’t be mad.”

Kevin suddenly came over and took Madeleine’s hand, “I like

Aunt Rebecca, but I love Mommy the most. No matter what

Mommy becomes, I’ll always love you the most.”

adeleine was amused and tapped the little guy’s nose with

her index finger.

“Kev, who taught you that? You’re so young and you already

know how to say such sweet things.”

“Daddy!

Chapter 80

Daddy said it. He loves Mommy no matter what she becomes.”

Madeleine froze.

Roderick?

He actually thinks that way…?

He just said that I’ve always been Madeleine, that I’ve never changed. That means, even though I was so wicked for the past

eight years, he could still put up with it.

Isn’t he a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle!

Madeleine’s train of thought jumped so fast it amused her. She

chuckled, and then it hit her–she realized something.

Roderick likes her.

nd he likes her a lot.

In that instant, Madeleine’s heart seemed to skip half a beat.

She subconsciously turned her head, her gaze passing through

the several Welcoming Pine Trees in the courtyard, then

through the carved glass window, landing on Roderick.

As if by telepathy, Roderick, who had been focused on his

conversation, suddenly glanced over.

Chapter 80

Their eyes met, and a hint of a smile appeared in Roderick’s.

Madeleine quickly looked away, but it was like a stone tossed

into a calm lake, the ripples spreading out layer by layer, as if

plucking at her heartstrings.

Yes, Roderick likes her. She finally realized it.

But that can’t be right.

Roderick, it’s Roderick!

How could he possibly like her?

Roderick had seen her at her most embarrassing, her ugliest,

her worst.

The two of them bickered the moment they met, never a kind

word passing between their lips.

For Roderick to like her… uh, well, he has good taste!

It only took Madeleine 0.01 seconds to accept this fact. After

all, for the past eighteen years, she had always thought

everyone loved her.

What about her?

Chapter 80

Does she like Roderick?

Madeleine was stumped by her own question, turning her head

to sigh at the chubby Koi Carp in the pond.

“Mommy, why are you sighing?”

“Hmm… I feel a little sorry for the Koi Carp.”

“Sorry for them?”

“Don’t you think they look hungry?”

Kevin glanced at the chubby fish again and nodded.

Yep, if Mommy said they’re hungry, they must be hungry.

He ran over to get the fish food. “Mommy, here you go.”

Madeleine took it with a smile, tossing the food into the pond

listlessly.

As she tossed, she counted in her head-

Loves Roderick?

Loves Roderick not.

Loves Roderick?

Chapter 80

Loves Roderick not.

As she kept tossing, Madeleine’s mind drifted back to the text

message from that morning.

Wait a minute.

If Ricki liked me, why was he still playing nice with other

women?

Was it because my past self from a few years ago liked Edward,

so he moved on too?

Based on what she knew of Ricki, that was definitely something

he would do.

Ricki was famous for hating to lose!

Back in elementary school, their little group of brats insisted on

having a spicy food eating contest.

She tricked Roderick, claiming a mild pepper was a hundred

times spicier than the real ones, and then ate the whole thing in

front of him.

Roderick’s eyes went wide, and refusing to be beaten, he

grabbed a handful of the real spicy chilis and stuffed them in

Chapter 80

his mouth.

He couldn’t handle spicy food to begin with, but he had to act tough. In the end, he was drooling and sweating, hissing and panting that he’d go home, practice, and definitely win next

time.

A few days later, Roderick ended up in the hospital with a stomachache. When Clarissa heard about it, she immediately knew Madeleine was behind the mischief.

Madeleine felt wronged too. All that kid had to do was admit defeat. Did he really have to eat himself into the hospital?

Looking back now, yeah, he really did.
