waking up with my nemesis' baby novel

Chapter 272 As he spoke , he adjusted his glasses . The lenses reflected the passing lights from outside the car , making him look completely serious , but his words made Rebecca's heart race . " So , will it ? " For a moment , she was too stunned to know how to answer . Of course , Adrian didn't give her a chance to answer , simply leaning in to kiss her . His lips and tongue tested hers , brushing gently , as if confirming the warmth and softness of her mouth .

The slight numbness seemed to awaken at the gentle touch , turning into a strange , fine current of electricity that shot through her entire body . Rebecca trembled involuntarily and reached out to grip Adrian's sleeve tightly . Adrian seemed to notice her slight tremor . He paused for a second , then deepened the kiss . The air grew thick and warm , and the car was so quiet that the only sound was their quickening breaths . Chapter 272 Rebecca closed her eyes , her tense body slowly relaxing .

Her fingers , which had been clutching the seatbelt , loosened slightly as she subconsciously and awkwardly tried to respond . Her response was like a single spark , instantly igniting the restraint Adrian had been holding back . His hand on her shoulder tightened , pulling her closer to him as the kiss gradually deepened , becoming wet , hot , and lingering . Just as they were lost in the moment- Bzzz ... bzzz ... Adrian's phone , sitting on the center console , began to vibrate stubbornly , at the worst possible time . The screen lit up .

Adrian caught it in his peripheral vision , and his eyes darkened . He stopped moving . Rebecca's eyes were still hazy . " Hmm ? " " I need to take a call . " Adrian quickly grabbed his phone , opened the car door , and stepped out . Chapter 272 The intimate atmosphere in the car hadn't faded , and Rebecca's cheeks felt a little hot . She touched her lips , a smile uncontrollably forming . When she turned her head to look out the window , she saw Adrian's tense jawline . It looked like the call was urgent . Did something happen at the lab ?

Rebecca pouted , wondering if their date was about to end early . Adrian answered the call but didn't say much . A stern voice came from the other end . " Why did it take you so long to answer ! " " I was busy . " " Busy for this long ? I checked . You weren't at the lab at all . " Adrian's face showed a hint of impatience . " What is it ? " " Adrian ! Chapter 272 Is that how you talk to your old man ? " On the other end of the line was Adrian's father . He glanced at Rebecca in the car . She tilted her head to look at him , and when she saw him staring , she smiled and waved .

She was so cute , it eased Adrian's frustrated mood quite a bit . His tightly pressed lips relaxed a little . " What do you want ? " " You should be done fooling around out there . When are you coming back to have a meal with your grandparents and your mother ? " " Is it to have a meal with them , or with some minister's or director's daughter ? " Adrian let out a soft laugh , his eyes holding a coldness that wouldn't dissipate . The Shaw family had been in politics for generations , but that ended with Adrian . He chose to go into scientific research .

Because of this , his relationship with his father had once dropped to a freezing point . When his father realized Adrian was stubborn and determined Chapter 272 to stay in research , Meredith Shaw started scheming about a political strategic marriage . " Adrian , don't be ungrateful ! " He said angrily , then his tone shifted , growing low . " I heard from your grandfather that over a month ago , you had him pull some strings for you regarding pharmaceutical industry policy ? " Adrian narrowed his eyes and said nothing .

He was one to face the consequences of his actions , so he never expected his grandfather to hide anything for him . A " The daughter of a businessman , and one involved with a pharmaceutical company at that . You can fool around with her , but don't let it get serious . If word gets out , where will that leave the Shaw family's reputation ? " " You don't need to worry about my affairs . " Adrian's composure remained steady , but his voice grew cold . " As for the Shaw family's reputation ...

if you think I've disgraced the family , I'll go and start the process of disowning the family name tomorrow . " Chapter 272 " You ! " Meredith was furious , and the sound of a fist hitting a table came through the phone . " What kind of attitude is that , Adrian ? As long as I'm alive , don't even think about doing whatever you want ! " These threatening words didn't faze Adrian in the slightest . He listened quietly to the angry tirade on the other end , his fingertips tapping lightly on the car window .

Inside , Rebecca was looking down at her phone , grinning happily at something interesting she saw . " Are you done ?
