Waking up with my nemesis baby novel Chapter 96

Madeleine’s movements were clumsy. In her current memory,

this was the first time she had ever fixed a man’s tie.

She had no idea what was up with Ricki’s tie. It was perfectly

fine a second ago, but then he claimed it was crooked and

loose, insisting she fix it.

That’s about right. Madeleine took half a step back and leaned

back to look.

“It’s good now.”

Roderick’s lips curved into a smile as he reached out and pulled

her back into his arms.

“Thanks, wifey.”

That one word, “wifey,” almost maxed out Madeleine’s anger

meter.

It was true she was his wife, but accepting this identity so

openly was still a bit difficult.

Madeleine used two fingers to try and pry Roderick’s hand off

her waist, but he said coolly, “They’re all waiting to see the joke.

of me being cheated on. You could at least play along.”

Madeleine pouted.

“Didn’t you say you wanted to make up for past mistakes?

Now’s your chance.”

Roderick finished, a wicked grin on his face.

He knew Madeleine couldn’t possibly refuse if he said that.

Madeleine sighed helplessly to herself, letting him keep his arm

around her, looking happy and in love.

For some reason, she felt like she’d walked right into a trap.

Two minutes later, Madeleine’s eyes widened as she suddenly

realized something.

“Ricki, you saw Edward just now, so you did that on purpose,

didn’t you!”

Ricki said nothing, just gloated and snickered to himself.

Chapter 96

Outside the back door of the banquet hall, Edward leaned

against a pillar, a lit cigarette glowing in his hand.

His second one.

He’d thought the woman would chase right after him the

moment he stepped out.

After all, from past experience, wherever he was, she’d stick to

him.

Like a persistent leech.

Ready to head back after this cigarette, Edward irritably blew

out a long stream of smoke.

Suddenly, his gaze froze, fixed on a woman not far away who

had stopped a waiter.

Madeleine had her back to him. He couldn’t tell what she said to

the waiter, but her eyes scanned the tray in his hand before she

furtively picked up a drink.

Edward scoffed and flicked the ash from his cigarette.

He’d overestimated her. She was still the same, now resorting

to drugging drinks.

Chapter 96

A wave of contempt mixed with a subtle hint of smugness

washed over Edward. He dropped his cigarette, crushed it with

his foot, and strode toward Madeleine.

Madeleine was a little nervous holding the drink, completely

unaware of Edward approaching from behind.

Just as she was about to turn, her arm was grabbed. She

looked at the man before her and cursed inwardly: Shit!

Can’t get rid of this guy.

Edward’s lips curved into a smirk as he looked at Madeleine,

trying to find proof in her panicked eyes that she was still

obsessed with him.

“What are you doing? Let go of me! My husband will get the

wrong idea if he sees this!”

“Your husband?”

Edward laughed. “You really think that line still works?”

With that, his hand moved to the glass Madeleine was holding

and he took it from her.

He swirled the glass and said in a low voice, “What did you put

Chapter 96

in here? A sedative?

Or… an aphrodisiac.”

What the hell?

Madeleine’s brain short–circuited for a moment. She couldn’t

help but roll her eyes when she looked at the glass of red wine.

She might as well just hand the pen to Edward and let him write

1. it.

With an imagination like that, he should be contributing to our

country’s cultural industry.

She snatched the red wine from him irritably and shot him a

sideways glance.

“Get over yourself. Spend money to buy you medicine?

You wish.”
