waking up with my nemesis' baby novel

Chapter 274 Adrian gave a helpless smile and patted Rebecca's head . After Adrian left , Rebecca felt a sudden emptiness inside for no reason . So this is what being in a relationship is like . Your heart races because of something he says , you blush because of a look he gives you , and you start looking forward to the next time you'll meet the moment you part ways . Rebecca couldn't help but lower her head and smile at herself . She used to look down on people who were insecure and anxious in their relationships , thinking that worrying about one person was a complete waste of life .

Now , she had become one of them . Rebecca decided to go find Madeleine . She called to ask where she was , but no one answered . " What is it ? " " Where's your wife ? " " Why should I tell you where my wife is ? " Roderick was annoyed . Lately , Rebecca had been really dependent on Madeleine . Any little relationship problem she had with Adrian , she had to talk to Madeleine about it . What was there to talk about ? She was the one dating Adrian , not his Madeleine .

His wife went to dance class in the morning , was busy with work in the afternoon , and had to spend time with their son at night . She barely had any time for him anymore . " Roderick , do you have to be so petty ? Or are you jealous ? You're even jealous of me ? ײן A soft huff came from the other end of the line . " My wife's time is precious . She doesn't have time to listen to your relationship drama . " " You're unbelievable ! " Chapter 274 Rebecca's eyes widened , then a sly glint appeared in them .

" If you don't let her see me , then I guess I won't get to hear her praise you ." The other end of the line went silent for a moment , followed by Roderick's slightly uncomfortable voice : " Praise me ? What did she say about me . " " Oh , I forgot . Maybe I'm just hungry since I haven't eaten . Ah , what a shame . If I don't get to see Madeleine , I'll never know if she was going to keep praising her darling husband ~ " With just two sentences , she had him .

After a few seconds of silence , Roderick's cool , restrained voice came over the line : " I've booked a table for you at a restaurant on West End Avenue . It's one she likes . I'll have the driver take her there in a bit . " " That's more like it ! " In the restaurant , soft lighting mingled with the elegant sound Chapter 274 of a violin . When Rebecca arrived , Madeleine was already sitting by the window , resting her chin on her hand and waving at her . " Hurry up ! " Madeleine's eyes were sparkling . " I can't wait to hear the details of your date !

" Rebecca sat down with a smile , glancing toward the entrance with a hint of suspicion . " What's wrong ? What are you looking at ? " Madeleine turned to look . There was nothing at the entrance . Rebecca shook her head . " It just feels weird , like someone's following me . " Madeleine's eyes widened . " Don't scare me . I'll call the bodyguards over right now . " Roderick had arranged bodyguards for her before , but she later found them to be a nuisance . Plus , the threat from Nanette had been dealt with , so she stopped having them follow her . Rebecca laughed .

" I probably just watched a mystery movie and Chapter 274 am being a little paranoid . " " Don't tell me your date was just dinner and a movie ? " " Yeah . " Madeleine was quite disappointed . She leaned in closer and lowered her voice , " Didn't Professor Shaw do anything ? Like ... kissing and hugging ? " Rebecca's face flushed as she remembered the unfinished kiss in the car , and the warmth of Adrian's breath as he drew near . " Well ... there was something . " She admitted in a small voice . Madeleine instantly got excited . " Quick , tell me ! What did it feel like ? " " It was just ...

" Just as Rebecca was about to describe it , she suddenly remembered the tense line of Adrian's jaw when he took that call , and her tone unconsciously darkened . " Actually , there was a small hiccup in the middle of it . " Chapter 274 She swirled her wine glass , choosing her words carefully . " He took a call from a family member , and he seemed a little off after that . " Madeleine keenly sensed the shift in her mood . " What's wrong ? What happened ? " " I'm not sure . I just felt his mood was strange after the call .

At first , I thought it was about work , but he just mentioned it was family . " Madeleine rested her chin on her hand . " Should I ask Roderick about it ? He probably knows about Professor Shaw's family situation . " Rebecca hesitated for half a second , then shook her head . " Let's just forget it . He didn't tell me himself . If he wanted to say something , he would have . " As she spoke , Rebecca took a sip of water, a flicker of uncertainty in her eyes .
