waking up with my nemesis' baby novel

Chapter 199 " Sorry , I messed up . " She lowered her head to fix it on her computer . In one morning , Rebecca had already made this kind of mistake three times . Roderick tapped the table with his index finger . " Take a break . We'll continue in half an hour . Director Whitman , you stay . " After everyone else had left the office , Rebecca pulled out a chair , sat down , leaned back , and let out a long sigh . " Roderick , I need to take a leave of absence . Annual leave . The kind that's paid . " " Whatever you want .

" Roderick picked up a bottle of water from the table and handed it to her . " In your current state , staying at the company will only cause trouble . " Chapter 199 " You bet . I was drafting a contract this morning and almost left off a zero . " She sat bolt upright and looked at Roderick . " Do you think I'm sick ? Should I go to the hospital and get checked out ? Let your wife go with me , okay ? " Roderick didn't focus on the hospital part , just looked at her strangely . " Why my wife ? " " She has this magic about her .

When I'm with her , big problems don't seem like a big deal , and I just start feeling happy for no reason . " Roderick's lips curled into a proud smile . " That's true . " Then he narrowed his eyes suspiciously . " You sure you're not bi ? " " Are you crazy ? " Rebecca cried out as if she'd been bitten , " I only like men . " Chapter 199 Only then did Roderick's expression relax . " You don't need to go to the hospital . You're not sick . " " You're not a doctor . If Bradley said that , it might actually be believable .

" Roderick chuckled , watching her with a faint smile as he said something that hit a nerve : " The year he died , you were in a state just like this for a while . " " Roderick ! " Rebecca shot to her feet , the chair scraping harshly across the floor . Her face turned pale , and her fingers tightened on the edge of the table . " Didn't I tell you ? Don't bring him up again ! " Roderick looked at her calmly , his gaze deep , as if he could see right through her . " Rebecca , don't you always handle things decisively ? " " This is different .

" Chapter 199 Rebecca turned her head away , her eyes already red . " He's different to me . You wouldn't understand . " " He's different , but what about Adrian ? " Rebecca's eyelashes trembled . She opened her mouth , but no sound came out . After a while , she recovered and her gaze was calm when she turned back . " What does this have to do with Adrian ? " " You're acting strange today . Are you going to tell me it's not because of what happened with Adrian last night ? " Rebecca frowned . " Did Madeleine tell you ? " " Don't blame my wife .

" Roderick clicked his tongue , raising an eyebrow smugly . " I was right there when you two were on the phone . " Rebecca: ... With a helpless look on her face , she went back to her seat and sat down . Chapter 199 After a long silence , Rebecca finally spoke : " Actually , for a long time , I hadn't even thought about Leo Bishop . Now that you've brought him up , I still feel a little upset . " Roderick wasn't good at comforting people , so he could only state the facts : " That's normal . When your family went bankrupt back then , you wouldn't have made it if Leo hadn't been by your side .

But Rebecca , I hope you can see clearly what your feelings for Leo really are . " What were her feelings for him ? Rebecca closed her eyes and thought for a moment . When she was fifteen , the Whitman family fell into debt due to a contract dispute and eventually went bankrupt . Rebecca went from being a wealthy heiress to a poor girl who could barely afford her tuition . She still remembered those days , when her family had to stretch every penny . Chapter 199 Having been poor and having suffered , Rebecca became very concerned about money .

That year , when debt collectors cornered her , it was Leo who saved her . After that , he always protected her and even taught her combat and boxing . " To be honest , I'm not sure either . He was like a brother to me , but I knew exactly how he felt about me . " Rebecca shrugged . " If he hadn't gotten leukemia and died , maybe we could have given it a try . " Roderick didn't say anything . ။ From what he knew of Rebecca , her feelings for Leo were mostly gratitude . " There's no point in making these kinds of assumptions . I've said enough about moving on .

Rebecca , some paths you have to walk alone . " Roderick said as he raised his hand to look at his watch . " The meeting will resume in a few minutes . Give me your part Chapter 199 of the report and go get some rest . " " Okay ." At the door , Rebecca turned back and forced an ugly smile at Roderick .
