waking up with my nemesis' baby novel

246 Chapter 246 " I asked you before , when you were using the identity of Eleanor , always coming to see me , contacting me ... besides wanting me to partner with the Whitman group , did you have any personal reasons ? " Adrian's voice was very soft , like the breeze blowing past , carrying his words into Rebecca's ears . She felt her heart skip a beat . She instinctively turned her head , her eyes meeting Adrian's . Thump , thump . Her heartbeat quickened . Rebecca thought that if lying really made your nose grow , she'd better not open her mouth right now . She lied a lot .

But this time , she wanted to tell the truth . " Yes . " Chapter 246 As she spat out the word , sharp and clear , Rebecca could clearly see Adrian's pupils contract , a subtle change . As if filled with the satisfaction of being in complete control . He nodded and said softly , " What ulterior motive ? Keep talking . " ။ " This is the second question , isn't it ? " " You owe me so much , what's one more question ? " Rebecca had a habit of changing the subject when she felt guilty , so she pouted . " You're so calculating , you're the one who should be in business . " " Rebecca .

" Adrian held back a laugh . " Answer the question . " Okay , attempt to change the subject : failed . Rebecca had no choice but to confess . " What other motive could there be? I just ... think you're good - looking and wanted a few more glances . Appreciating beauty is human nature , right ? " Chapter 246 It was a nonchalant statement , but after saying it , Rebecca didn't dare touch her own face to feel how hot it was . Adrian raised an eyebrow , not quite satisfied with that answer . He continued to coax her. " So , can I take that to mean you like me ?

" " Is lust at first sight the same as liking someone ? " Rebecca had no intention of admitting it . Adrian was exasperated . She had laid her cards on the table but gotten nothing of equal value in return . For a businesswoman like Rebecca , that didn't sit well . So she decided to ask him instead . " What about you ? " " What about me . " After a moment of hesitation , she managed to say with difficulty , " You said you ... wanted me . Wasn't that also just lust at first sight ? " Chapter 246 Adrian : ... So that's what she thought . Adrian stared at her .

The mountain breeze gently rustled the hair on his forehead , but his eyes were as still as a deep pool . " Rebecca . " He suddenly let out a very soft laugh , tinged with self - mockery . "Am I that shallow in your eyes? " " You're the one who said it ! " Rebecca was annoyed . " You said all men are the same . " Adrian sighed inwardly . She had completely misunderstood him , yet she was acting all self - righteous . He turned to the side to face her , the distance between them closing in an instant .

So close that Rebecca could see the faint shadow cast by his eyelashes and feel his warm breath on her skin . " If it were just lust , I would have played along the first time you Chapter 246 approached me with an agenda ." His voice suddenly dropped low, like a lover's whisper . " If it were just lust , the day you forced a kiss on me , I would have deepened it without hesitation . " His fingertips brushed almost imperceptibly against the back of her hand , which rested on the grass . " If it were just lust ... that night , do you really think you could have gotten away ?

" His gaze locked onto hers , leaving her no room to escape . After saying this , his eyes slowly fell to her lips , lingering for a moment . His gaze felt so real it made Rebecca's lips feel slightly dry , her heart pounding like a drum . Rebecca's heart clenched , her mind thrown into chaos by the restrained storm hidden in his words . She wanted to argue , but her throat felt tight , and she couldn't get a single word out . Adrian looked at her slightly widened eyes , which clearly Chapter 246 reflected his own image , along with a barely perceptible trace of panic .

He was satisfied to see that his words had stirred something within her . He leaned in another inch , his nose almost touching hers , their breaths mingling . " Rebecca , tell me , " his voice was incredibly hoarse , with a raw , teasing quality , " if a man didn't have some kind of ulterior motive , why would he let a woman who clearly has her own agenda get close to him , time and time again ? Why would he be worried sick when she was sick ? Why would he ... force himself to stop when she leaned in for a kiss ?

" He raised his hand , brushing the back of his fingers gently across her burning cheek , the movement slow and full of suggestion . " What I've wanted was never just a one - time thing . " His fingertips came to rest on her chin , tilting her face up to look at him .
