waking up with my nemesis' baby novel

Was I seeing things ? " Get in . It's fine to sit in the passenger seat . " Rebecca smiled and nodded . After getting in and buckling her seatbelt , she turned her head and noticed Adrian was staring at her . " What's wrong , Professor Shaw? Is ... something wrong with me ? " " You look ... very different today , too . " Rebecca heard him , her smile looking a little forced . Of course ! He should think about what kind of event this is . It might be a medical seminar , but the organizers specifically said they invited a lot of guests from other industries .

She , Rebecca , was at least somewhat well - known in the financial world ; she could easily be recognized , you know ... Chapter 189 So , before she left the house , Rebecca picked out an outfit that was the complete opposite of her usual style . As low - key as it gets . Adrian looked away and said nothing , simply starting the car and heading toward the venue . The venue was packed with influential figures and big shots. Madeleine followed by Roderick's side , thinking she was just there to watch , but he started pulling her around to meet people as soon as they walked in .

" This is Ethan Allen from Spark Capital . Mr. Allen , hello . This is my wife , Madeleine . She's starting her own business recently , please look out for her in the future . " " Mr. Sampson , I heard your nephew is taking on office renovation projects recently ? Yes , my wife is setting up a company , so we'll contact you if we need anything . " " Linda Gill ... " Chapter 189 From the moment they entered , Roderick introduced his connections to Madeleine one by one , putting in a good word for her both directly and indirectly .

Having been in the financial world for so many years , Roderick knew that introducing his connections so bluntly wasn't exactly a good thing . Using up favors is , in essence , a kind of expense . But she was the one he loved , so all the favors and expenses were worth it . After a round of socializing , Madeleine's face was stiff from smiling , and her mouth was dry from talking . When there was finally a break from people , she poked Roderick in the waist . " So you had another reason for bringing me here . " Roderick chuckled , " My wife is building her career , I have to support her .

" " Your way of supporting is pretty special , huh ? " Madeleine said with a grin , " But I like it . " Chapter 189 Truly loving someone isn't about giving them unconditional help , but about lifting them up . It's about putting her in a comfortable position to work hard from , bringing her a little closer to success . Not long after the two sat down , the seminar began. Most of it was obscure technical knowledge that Madeleine didn't understand , so she couldn't help but let her mind wander . Finally , the host announced that they were inviting Adrian to speak .

Madeleine immediately perked up , straightening her back and staring at the stage . Adrian walked slowly onto the stage , his suit giving off an aura of calm and reserved confidence . He stood tall and straight like a pine tree , his black suit was well - tailored , making his shoulders look even broader . His tie was knotted impeccably , its dark , subtle pattern faintly visible under the lights , exuding a low - key nobility . Looking at his face , his features were sharp : brows like blades , Chapter 189 a high - bridged nose , and a clean , sharp jawline .

Behind his glasses , his eyes were deep and sharp , as if they could see right through a person . His thin lips were slightly pursed , giving him a'somewhat distant air when he wasn't smiling , yet it was strangely eye- catching . " He's so handsome ... " Madeleine couldn't help but sigh . This was a world away from the old fossil she had imagined . Beside her , Roderick heard her sigh and couldn't help but frown , pinching Madeleine's fingertips with a hint of jealousy . She understood and smiled , leaning close to Roderick's ear to coax him softly , " Not as handsome as you .

" Only then did Roderick's brow slowly smooth out . After stopping , Adrian adjusted the microphone height with one hand , his long , strong fingers with their distinct knuckles . When he spoke , his voice was deep and clear , with a cool , metallic quality to it : " Colleagues , it's an honor to be here today Chapter 189 to share my views ... " Adrian's voice was very steady . Probably knowing that not everyone in the audience was an expert , he finished the technical part with a few brief words and began to analyze the research project's goals and returns from a business perspective .

Roderick listened very attentively , occasionally leaning over to explain the technical terms Adrian mentioned and their meanings to Madeleine . Madeleine found it strange . " Isn't Professor Shaw a researcher ? " Roderick chuckled , " He has connections . " " Oh ... " Madeleine's eyes widened , " No wonder he turned down Rebecca's family's invitation ." Turns out he wasn't short on money at all . " Does Rebecca know about this ?
