waking up with my nemesis' baby novel

Chapter 253 Inside and outside , it was two completely different scenes . By the time one movie was over , the drinking party outside still hadn't ended . Madeleine and her son were yawning together . " Rebecca , how's your Professor Shaw with his liquor ? " " How should I know ? " Rebecca muttered , then shot her an annoyed glare . " What do you mean , ' my ' ? Don't spread rumors . " " Hehe . " Madeleine chuckled and leaned in to look into her eyes . " You were distracted during the movie . What were you thinking about ? Was it because of Adrian ? " " Don't be ridiculous .

I'm going to my room to sleep . " After she spoke , Isabella and Charlotte over there also said they were tired and ready to rest . Chapter 253 The estate had plenty of empty rooms , one for each person , so there was no worry about not having a place to sleep . Rebecca went back to her room , sat on the bed , and immediately checked the time on her phone . Eleven o'clock sharp . Was Adrian still outside drinking ? Did that mean he'd forgotten what he said this afternoon ? Something about only giving her until midnight to think it over . So what about now ? Did she still need to consider it ?

" So annoying . Isn't he usually so meticulous about things ? " Rebecca tossed her phone aside , grabbed her pajamas , and went to take a shower . Eleven - thirty . After her shower and skincare routine , Rebecca sat on the bed and checked her phone again . Chapter 253 There were no messages from Adrian , and she had no idea if he was still drinking . She took a deep breath and grabbed a random file to work on . Ten minutes passed , and she hadn't even finished a single page . She ran her hands through her hair in frustration , then got up to pour herself a glass of water .

Eleven forty - five . " Only fifteen minutes left ? What's going on ... " She muttered , getting out of bed , slipping on her slippers , and tiptoeing out to the living room . Of the group that was drinking , only Bradley and Simon remained . Their eyes were glazed over , and they were slurring their words . " Bradley , where's Adrian ? " " He ... went back to his room . " Chapter 253 " Oh . " Rebecca turned to go back , a tightness in her chest . He must have forgotten . Or he's just too drunk . Annoyed , she started back to her room , but hesitated as she passed Adrian's door .

Maybe I should go in and check ? What if he's really drunk ? With that thought , she did just that . At eleven - fifty , Rebecca knocked on Adrian's door . After just one knock , the door cracked open from the inside , and a hand forcefully pulled Rebecca in . She didn't even have time to cry out before she was plunged into darkness . My heart was pounding , about to burst out of my chest . Rebecca was pressed against the door , her eyes not yet Chapter 253 adjusted to the darkness , unable to see anything clearly . She could only hear heavy breathing and smell the strong scent of alcohol .

" You ... you let go first . " Rebecca spoke in a low voice , which trembled slightly . Fortunately , the drunk Adrian was agreeable . Rebecca made her request , and he complied without a word . He let go , and without the restraint , Rebecca finally breathed a sigh of relief . She fumbled along the wall behind her and turned on a sconce . It wasn't bright , but the dim , yellow light was enough for her to see what Adrian looked like right now . He really looked like he had drunk a lot . His glasses were nowhere to be seen , his cheeks had an unnatural flush , and his eyes were very hazy .

" Are you drunk ? " Adrian didn't say anything , just unfastened his watch , tossed it onto the nightstand , and stumbled to sit on the edge of the bed . Chapter 253 He was only wearing a gray shirt, its sleeves rolled up , revealing arms with veins popping . Adrian leaned back , supporting himself with his hands on the bed . " You came over just to ask that . " " No. " Rebecca pressed her lips together and glanced up at the clock on the wall . Another five minutes had passed . Five minutes left .

Adrian noticed her movement , the corner of his mouth lifting almost imperceptibly before quickly falling back down . " Then what did you come here for ? " " Adrian ! " Rebecca was a little annoyed and raised her voice , then immediately turned her head to look behind her worriedly . She couldn't be too loud . It would be so awkward if someone Chapter 253 heard . In the middle of the night , if anyone found out she was in Adrian's room , it would be impossible to explain . " Are you angry ? What's there to be angry about ? I'm not even angry .

" Adrian's lips curved into a smile , his Adam's apple bobbing up and down as if he were suppressing something . Rebecca was so choked by his words she didn't know what to say .
