waking up with my nemesis' baby novel

Chapter 195 Rebecca waved her hand , " I didn't drink , so I can take him . And while he's drunk , I can try to get some information out of him ." It was then that Madeleine remembered Rebecca's original goal was to poach him , which was why she'd approached Professor Shaw . Sigh , that's my career - driven Rebecca . After saying he forgave Madeleine and getting in the car , Roderick still couldn't resist bringing up the past . He wrapped his arm around the back of Madeleine's neck , his thumb and forefinger circling to caress her chin .

After drinking , Roderick's eyes became even darker and deeper than usual . He just stared at Madeleine , his expression unreadable , not saying a word . Madeleine felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze . " Why are Chapter 195 you looking at me like that ? " " You're beautiful . I want to keep looking ." " You ... " Madeleine felt embarrassed and glanced at Mathew driving in the front . Someone else is here . What's gotten into this guy ? To her surprise , Mathew just gave a knowing smile and pressed a button in the car .

Instantly , a partition rose up between the back seat and the driver's area , separating the two spaces . Madeleine's eyes widened in surprise . She had only ever seen something like this in short - form web series ! Roderick grabbed her chin , forcing Madeleine to look only at him . She winced and turned to look at him reproachfully . " What are you doing ? " Madeleine mumbled , but the tips of her ears secretly turned Chapter 195 red . Roderick's thumb gently brushed across her lips , his voice low , " Your eyes were glued to Adrian just now . " " I was just watching the drama unfold !

" Madeleine anxiously grabbed his wrist , trying to explain , " You know that ... " But Roderick gave her no chance to speak , leaning in and kissing her . The kiss carried a faint scent of alcohol , forceful and undeniable . Madeleine was pressed against the seat by him , her entire being enveloped in his presence . At first , Madeleine was annoyed , wondering if he was being too petty . But as they kissed , she noticed a glint of cunning in Roderick's eyes . " Mmph ! " Madeleine's eyes widened , unable to resist .

He was doing this on purpose , just looking for an excuse to kiss Chapter 195 her ! Meanwhile , at the hotel entrance . Rebecca and Adrian came out together , keeping a careful distance from each other . When they reached the entrance , Rebecca finally spoke , " Professor Shaw , the car keys . " " Huh ? Oh , one moment . " Adrian's reaction was clearly much slower ; he hesitated for a while before making any move . It was like he was conducting an experiment , needing to confirm all the data was correct before proceeding .

Fumbling the keys out of his pocket , Adrian handed them to Rebecca , their fingers brushing against each other . As if shocked , they both pulled back at the same time. The keys fell to the ground . Chapter 195 " Sorry ... " Adrian said , bending down to pick them up . But the alcohol hit him , and he staggered , unable to keep his balance . " Professor Shaw ! " Rebecca was startled and quickly helped him stand steady . " Don't move , don't move . I'll get it . " She held Adrian's arm with one hand and bent down to pick up the keys with the other .

She didn't dare let go , so she just kept supporting him . She had been a little unsure before , but now she could see that Adrian was really a bit drunk . Including what he drank earlier , Adrian had downed over a pound of Vodka . Not to mention he had chugged half a pound with Mr. Reid in one go . No matter how high his tolerance was , he couldn't handle being forced to drink like that . Chapter 195 " Let me help you , Professor Shaw . I'll take you home first . " " No need . You go on ahead . Just call ... call a designated driver for me . " " How could I do that ?

I have to get you home first . Let's go . " As she supported him , most of Adrian's weight pressed down on her . Luckily , Rebecca worked out and was strong , otherwise , it would have been a real struggle . After finally getting him into the passenger seat , Rebecca was covered in sweat . She let out a long sigh and walked around to the driver's seat . " Professor Shaw , I still don't know your address . " Adrian leaned back against the seat and gave her an address . It was a high - end apartment near the lab .

Rebecca nodded and was about to start the car when a beeping sound reminded her that Adrian hadn't fastened his seatbelt . " Professor Shaw ? Chapter 195 Seatbelt . " " Mmm ... " Adrian wearily lifted his eyelids and reached over with his left hand , fumbling a few times without finding the seatbelt . Rebecca sighed in resignation . " Let me do it . " She leaned over , quickly pulling the seatbelt across . Although they were close , nothing inappropriate happened . Halfway through the drive , Adrian spoke in a low voice , " I'm sorry . " " For what ?
