waking up with my nemesis' baby novel

Hearing the girl's words become more and more absurd , Rebecca couldn't help but cut her off sharply .. She frowned , rummaging in her bag for a tissue to wipe the tears from Lillie's face . Lillie shoved her away , wiping her face messily with the back of her hand . " Stop pretending to care . I don't need it . " " Listen to me . " Rebecca's tone was unusually serious , tinged with heaviness . " Your brother and I. " She spoke very slowly , making sure Lillie could hear every single word clearly . " We were never together , and we never expressed any feelings for each other .

Do you understand ? " Lillie froze . The anger and sadness on her face froze , as if she hadn't understood the words . " What ... did you say ? " After what felt like a long time , she spoke in a daze , her voice trembling slightly . " How is that possible ? My brother ... he was so obviously in love with you . The way he looked at you ... it was different from how he looked at anyone else . " " Yes , Leo ... " Rebecca's voice was a little tight . " He might have had some feelings for me . " Mentioning the man who had once left such a deep mark on her life still made Rebecca feel uneasy .

" I'm also very grateful to him . If he hadn't pulled me out of that abyss , the Rebecca you see today wouldn't exist . " She gave a bitter smile , quickly composed herself , and looked up to meet Lillie's eyes . " But Lillie , we weren't together . And I never thought of myself as your sister - in - law . " She watched the color drain from Lillie's face as she continued to explain , her voice filled with endless exhaustion and sorrow . " In the past , I did struggle with what Leo meant to me . Was it a love that I had mistaken ? " Rebecca shook her head . " No , Lillie .

My feelings for him weren't romantic love . " So , there was no betrayal . And no being ungrateful . She would never forget the kindness Leo had shown her . When Madeleine returned , she only saw the complicated looks on their faces . Holding a Bubble Tea , she walked over quickly . " Rebecca , what's wrong ? " The atmosphere felt a little off . Madeleine naturally walked over to Rebecca's side , warily watching the girl across from them . The girl didn't look very old , and she was crying her eyes out .

If this had been before , Madeleine might have actually suspected Rebecca of bullying the young girl . " It's okay , don't worry . " Rebecca whispered to Madeleine , and fearing ' Lillie might do something irrational in her emotional state , she pulled Madeleine's hand to get her to step behind her . But Madeleine's gaze remained locked on Lillie , and this wariness made Lillie's heart inexplicably flutter with panic . She subconsciously took half a step back , her sobs catching in her throat . Only her shoulders were still trembling slightly , making her look a bit helpless and pathetic .

" Go home , Lillie . " Rebecca looked at her , feeling a bit helpless . " The thing between your brother and me , when I have time , I'll explain it all to you properly , okay ? " She raised her hand and glanced at her watch . " It's getting late . I'll call a car for you . " " No need . " Chapter 276 Lillie's voice was hard as she stared fiercely into Rebecca's eyes . " Rebecca , next week is my brother's death anniversary . I just hope you haven't forgotten that day . " After saying this , Lillie turned and ran off quickly .

As she ran , you could see her raise a hand to wipe away her tears . Madeleine just stood there beside Rebecca , quietly , without making a sound . She glanced at Rebecca . Although she didn't know the whole story , she guessed something from their fragmented conversation and expressions . She had heard Roderick mention the story about Rebecca and Leo . That young girl , it seemed , was Leo's sister . " Rebecca . " Madeleine placed a hand on Rebecca's shoulder , her tone gentle . " Are you okay ? " " I'm fine .

" Rebecca quickly composed herself , smiling as she turned her head to take the Bubble Tea from Madeleine's hand . " Let me try it , see if it's good . " She lowered her head and clumsily stuck the straw in . It tasted great , a sweet flavor melting in her mouth . But Rebecca's mind was a mess , and she couldn't taste anything at all . Meanwhile , the Livingston father and son were eating at the dining table . Kevin was a little unhappy that his mom couldn't come back to eat with them . " Dad , are you sure we don't have to wait for Mom to eat ?

" Roderick gave a faint reply and went over to roll up Kevin's sleeves . " She's eating out with Aunt Rebecca . " Kevin looked as if his world was ending . " Mom's eating with Aunt Rebecca , why didn't she take me ... " Roderick frowned . " Why would she take you ? " " Mom used to take me . " " Before , your Aunt Rebecca wasn't dating anyone , and their topics of conversation weren't so inappropriate for kids .
