waking up with my nemesis' baby novel

Chapter 222 The sight made Edward , who was coming out of the venue , see red . He was sure something had changed . Was someone messing with things ? But Madeleine's change could just mean she'd had a change of heart and fallen for- Roderick . But what about Fiona ? His phone vibrated . Fiona had sent a reply . [ Something's come up . Sorry . ] The tone was cold , something that had never happened before . Edward's heart felt empty , as if something was quietly slipping . away . He clutched his chest as a sudden , dull ache made it almost impossible to breathe . " Mr.

Carroll , are you alright ? " Chapter 222 The driver came over , steadying him with a worried look . Edward shook his head , his face pale . " Drive . " " Mr. Carroll , where are we going ? " " To find Fiona . " Edward drove around in circles . He first went to Fiona's company , where they said she hadn't been in for two days . Edward went to find Fiona's father . He was busy and looked a little surprised to see Edward . " Edward , what are you doing here? Looking for Fiona ? " " Yes , Mr. Bell . Do you know what's been going on with Fiona these past few days ? " Mr. Bell frowned .

" Isn't it because something's wrong between you two ? " " Us ... having a problem ? " Chapter 222 Edward muttered , his mind replaying the events of the past few days . He and Fiona hadn't seen each other for several days now . " Isn't that it ? Fiona's been in a bad mood . She used to mention you to me all the time , but she hasn't lately . I was wondering if you two had a fight . " After a moment of thought , Edward finally asked , " Where is Fiona now ? " " Probably at home . " " Thank you , Mr. Bell ." With that , Edward quickened his pace , turned , and left .

He urgently needed to find Fiona and get some answers . Fiona usually lived alone . Edward had her address and the access code , so he got in easily . He stood at the door , hesitated for a moment , then knocked . After a while , Fiona came and opened the door . She looked a bit stunned when she saw him . " What are you doing here ? " Chapter 222 Fiona pressed her lips together , and after a moment , she stepped aside to let him in . " Whatever you have to say , come in and say it ." Edward nodded . After entering , he noticed something was off .

The furnishings in the room seemed to have changed a lot since his last visit . The photo of the two of them on the cabinet was gone . The knick - knack they bought together on the table was also gone . It seemed like all traces of him were gone from this room . It wasn't just the room's decor ; even Fiona herself seemed like a different person . Her style of dress , the whole aura she gave off , was completely different from before . The questions in Edward's mind grew deeper . " Sit wherever . I'll get you some water . " Fiona seemed quite composed .

As she turned around , Edward grabbed her arm . Chapter 222 Fiona didn't turn back , her body stiffening . " Fiona ... " Edward's voice was hard . " The bid is over . Aren't you going to ask me the result ? " Fiona let out a soft laugh . " Mr. Carroll is young and promising , with incredible abilities . Of course you'd win . Do I even need to ask ? " " Of course ! " Edward used some force , pulling Fiona right in front of him . He gritted his teeth , glaring down into Fiona's eyes . " What the hell is going on ? What happened ? Why have you ... changed . " " Have I changed ?

" Fiona's lips curled into a smile . " How have I changed ? " " You weren't like this before . Fiona , don't you like me anymore ? " Chapter 222 Fiona took a deep breath and slowly pulled her hand away . " No , I like you . I still like you very much , even now . But Edward , I've realized that ever since I started liking you , I haven't been myself . " Edward frowned , not understanding what she meant . " Edward , do you like me ? " Fiona looked directly into his eyes , her question sincere . Edward's gaze shifted . " Why are you asking that ? " " Am I not even allowed to ask ?

" " That's not what I mean ... " Fiona gave a bitter smile and looked away , " Edward , let me think things through , and you should too , about what you really feel for me . Let's not see each other for a while , okay ? " As she said this , Fiona could clearly feel a pain in her heart , as if it were being torn apart . She tried her best to hold it in , finding it hard to even breathe . Edward wanted to step forward and say something , but seeing Chapter 222 Fiona's pained and resolute expression , he held himself back . He nodded . " Okay . " At the door , Edward turned his head .

" I'll give you time to think , Fiona . If there's anything , you can just tell me . " Fiona said nothing . Only after the door clicked shut behind her did she feel all the strength drain from her body , and she collapsed to the floor , clutching her heart .
