waking up with my nemesis' baby novel

Fiona felt as if she'd been hit over the head with a club . See ? That's what real friends are . Friends are like Madeleine and Rebecca . What does that make Mary ? Just then , Mary walked over , the sound of her high heels clicking , wearing a designer dress that was clearly a bad fit . " Fiona , what do you think of this one ? I think it's perfect for me ! " Fiona looked up , sizing up this so - called " friend " for the first time . Mary's face was plastered with a fawning smile , but her eyes glinted with greed .

She realized she had been letting someone like this lead her by the nose all along . " It doesn't suit you . " Chapter 212 Fiona's voice was surprisingly calm . " I have something to do , I'm leaving . Don't contact me again . " Mary's smile froze on her face . " Wh - what ? " " I said , that outfit doesn't suit you . " After saying each word deliberately , Fiona didn't spare Mary another glance , grabbing her bag and turning to leave . " But ... " Mary grew anxious and grabbed Fiona's wrist . " This dress really does suit me , and you promised ... " Fiona gently pulled her hand back .

" I have work to take care of . If you make me late , you can't afford it . " She turned to a nearby sales associate . " Please help this lady change back into her original clothes . The VIP service is canceled . " The associate understood immediately and said to Mary politely but firmly , " Ma'am , please follow me to the regular fitting room to change . " Mary's face turned ugly in an instant . " Fiona ! What do you mean by this ? " Chapter 212 Her voice rose sharply , causing other customers to turn and look . Fiona acted as if she couldn't hear and walked out quickly .

Mary tried to chase after her but was stopped ' by the associate . " Ma'am , you haven't paid yet . " " Pay for what ? Isn't she paying ? " Mary pointed furiously at Fiona's retreating back . The associate gave a professional smile . " Fiona didn't say she would pay for you . If you like the dress , you can purchase it yourself at the register . " Mary's face flushed red then turned pale , and she finally stomped her foot , seething , " I'll change back ! " Madeleine and Rebecca stood not far away , taking in the whole scene . Madeleine let out a long sigh of relief when she saw it .

Chapter 212 " Satisfying . " Rebecca didn't say anything , just looked down at her for a moment , her gaze deep . As they walked out of the luxury boutique , the sunlight fell perfectly on them . Rebecca stopped walking and grabbed Madeleine's wrist . " Madeleine . " Her voice was unusually serious , " I understood everything you just said to Fiona . " Madeleine's smile faltered for a moment , but she quickly recovered . " What's wrong ? What did you understand ? Rebecca narrowed her eyes , her gaze sharp enough to pierce through someone's soul . " Mary , Zoe ...

they're too much like NPCs in a murder mystery game . " Madeleine's heart skipped a beat . Chapter 212 She never expected that the first person to figure it out would be Rebecca . The smile on her face felt stiff . Madeleine tried to force it , but she just couldn't . " Rebecca ... " Madeleine's voice was barely a whisper . " Have you ever had this feeling ? Where your head tells you something is wrong , but you just can't stop yourself from wanting to believe it ? " The look in Rebecca's eyes changed . She pulled Madeleine over to a seating area in a corner of the mall and pushed her down .

" Explain . " Madeleine's fingers unconsciously twisted the hem of her clothes , her eyes darting around . She opened her mouth , then closed it again , as if she had a million things to say but didn't know where to start . Rebecca watched her quietly , her sharp gaze slowly turning complex . Chapter 212 The noisy chatter of the mall formed a natural barrier around them . " It's like ..." Rebecca spoke up , her voice soft , " you know Edward is a scumbag , but you can't help but like him ?

" Madeleine snapped her head up , meeting Rebecca's eyes , which seemed to see right through everything . She saw a flash of understanding in her friend's eyes , quickly replaced by heartache . A strange silence fell between them . Not because there was nothing to say , but because nothing needed to be said . " Rebecca . " Madeleine finally just said her name softly , her voice filled with an indescribable complexity . Rebecca sighed deeply , reached out , and ruffled her hair , so forcefully it almost messed up her hairstyle . " Dummy .

" She scolded , but with an unspoken tenderness , " Tell me sooner Chapter 212 next time . " Madeleine's nose tingled . She knew Rebecca understood . Not the surface - level explanations , but the deeper feelings that even she couldn't quite put into words . I said I'd come out to cheer Rebecca up , but it turned out she was the one comforting me . Madeleine felt a little bad about it . " Rebecca , what do you want to eat tonight ? My treat . " " It's still so early , not even dinnertime yet .
