waking up with my nemesis' baby novel

Chapter 206 A deep , gentle male voice came from the stairs . Rebecca didn't even lift her head . " Nothing . I'm perfectly happy . " Mr. Whitman sat down beside her with a cup of tea , his gaze falling on his daughter's slightly pale face . " You should take a look in the mirror . You don't look happy at all . " " I'm just too tired . I want to rest for a couple of days. " " That sounds strange coming from you . " Mr. Whitman thought for a moment . He knew his daughter so well , of course he could tell something was off . After a moment of thought , Mr.

Whitman spoke up , " Is it because of Leo ? I remember his death anniversary is next month . " He frowned after saying that . " But in the past , even though you were unhappy on his death anniversary , you never skipped work like this . " Chapter 206 Rebecca forced a strained smile as she looked at him . " Dad , have you been reading too many mystery novels lately ? Isn't the company busy ? " " It is busy . I just got word today that there are new policy standards for the pharmaceutical industry . It's good for the business . I'm planning to hold a big meeting tomorrow . Do you want to join ?

" " Of course ! " Rebecca perked up and sat up on the sofa . " We have to get the best pharmaceutical R & D and distribution rights this time . " Mr. Whitman looked at his daughter , who had instantly come back to life , feeling both pleased and pained . He gently placed his hand over his daughter's . " Let's not rush to talk about work , Rebecca . Tell me honestly , did something happen ? You've been so secretive lately , I have no idea what you've been busy with . " Chapter 206 Rebecca avoided his gaze .

Other than Roderick and Madeleine , she hadn't told anyone that she went to see Adrian . Thinking about it now , it was a good thing she hadn't let her dad know . " What other things could I possibly have going on ? It's just work , work , work . Dad , look at you , worrying for no reason . " " I'm not worrying for no reason . It's just that ... you seemed like you were in love a while ago , and these past two days you've become a completely different person . Are you dating someone ? " " Pfft ... " Rebecca couldn't help but sputter . Dating ! ? That's ridiculous .

" What are you talking about , Dad ? Do I look like I have time to date ? " Chapter 206 No , I can't let this topic continue . With the way her dad was always nagging her to get married , he'd start talking nonsense again . Rebecca shot up to her feet , grabbed her coat , and headed for the door . " Dad , I just remembered I have a contract to deal with . I'm leaving now . " " Hey ! This kid ... " Before Mr. Whitman could finish his sentence , he heard the front door slam shut with a ' bang ' . He sighed helplessly . " This daughter of mine ... sometimes she's just too strong- willed .

" Rebecca got in her car , opened the navigation app , and scrolled through it , not knowing where to go . Finally , she pouted . " Roderick is losing the company money for his wife's sake , so it wouldn't be too much for me to go bother Chapter 206 his wife , right ? " She didn't know what kind of spell Madeleine had cast on her , but she felt empty inside right now . She just felt that things would be a little better if Madeleine were with her . At nine , Madeleine came home with Roderick after he finished working late .

Roderick wasn't actually finished with his work ; he just didn't want Madeleine to wait for him at the office , so he brought it home to finish . " Then I'll hang out with Kevin for a bit , then come keep you company in the study . " " Okay . " The two of them walked in hand - in - hand and froze when they saw Rebecca on the sofa . Rebecca was watching cartoons with Kevin . Hearing the noise , she turned around and waved with a big smile . " Hello ~ " Roderick's face fell . Chapter 206 So much for their evening alone .

Rebecca naturally saw the disgust in Roderick's dark expression and narrowed her eyes . " Not happy to see me ? " " Of course , we are . Why wouldn't we be ? " Madeleine walked over with a smile , hugged her son first , and then looked at Rebecca . " What brings you here so late at night ? Is something wrong ? " Rebecca sat back down on the sofa and casually started eating from the fruit platter Kirsten had prepared for her . Looking completely at home . " Nothing's wrong . I just wasn't comfortable at home and thought I'd come stay for a couple of days , like a little vacation .

" Roderick came over and sat down , his face dark . " If you want a vacation , I can buy you a plane ticket . Hawaii or the Maldives ? " " Neither . " Chapter 206 Rebecca shook her head with a sly smile . " I just want to stay at your place . Madeleine , let's have a sleepover tonight ."
