waking up with my nemesis' baby novel

" Adrian , I know you have a girlfriend , but there's something I want to say again . Our two families know each other inside and out , and our union would be the best choice for both our families . I don't care who's in your heart right now ; feelings can be cultivated over time . I can even accept ... you staying in touch with her after we're married . As long as it doesn't go too far , I won't interfere .

" She finished , feigning generosity , paused for a moment , and then continued , " The resources and prospects that the Vance family and the Shaw family could gain by joining forces are far beyond what personal feelings can compare to . Are you sure you won't reconsider ? This is the most rational choice , the one that best serves your interests . " She had lowered herself completely , even making an almost humiliating concession . She laid the practicality of the strategic marriage on the table , trying to persuade him with pure rationality .

Chapter 315 Adrian listened quietly , his face expressionless , only the gaze behind his glasses growing colder . After Rosalind finished , he was silent for a few seconds before he slowly began to speak , his voice clear and cold , every word carrying undeniable weight . " Rosalind , first of all , there is no such thing as ' staying in touch ' between my girlfriend and me . She is the woman I love , the only person I want to spend my life with . There is no option for you to ' accept ' or ' interfere ' with . " " Second . " He paused , a hint of mockery in his voice .

" What you call ' rational ' is a calculation based on maximizing benefits , not my kind of rational . My rationality tells me that a marriage without an emotional foundation , filled with calculations and compromises , is the most irrational and immoral thing of all ." " And finally ." His voice suddenly became extremely serious . " Please , respect me and respect yourself . Don't make this kind of proposal that insults both you and me again . My girlfriend and I have a Chapter 315 wonderful relationship , and I am not , nor will I ever , consider any other possibility .

I don't want to hear words like this again . " The other end of the line fell into a long silence , with only the sound of slightly ragged breathing . After a long while , Rosalind's voice came again , carrying a barely perceptible tremor and ... resentment . " Adrian , you'll regret this . Feelings are the most unreliable thing . The only thing that's real are the interests you can hold in your hands . " " Those are your values , not mine . " Adrian said coldly , " If there's nothing else , I'm hanging up . " Without waiting for a response , he hung up the phone .

Standing in place , Adrian took a deep breath , suppressing the irritation that the phone call had stirred up in him . He composed himself , making sure his usual gentle and calm expression was back , before turning to walk back to Kevin . The little guy was still sitting there , quietly watching the deer in the distance , seemingly undisturbed by his phone call . Chapter 315 Adrian walked over and sat down beside him again , as if that unpleasant phone call had never happened . " Mr. Shaw ," Kevin turned his head and asked in a low voice , " are you in some kind of trouble ?

" Adrian was a little surprised ; he hadn't expected the boy to be so perceptive . He smiled and gently shook his head . " No trouble . Just an ... unimportant person , saying some unimportant things . " Is that so ? Kevin tilted his head . Hmm , so adults lie too . The investigation on Gerry's end wasn't going smoothly . There were just too many people going in and out of the mall , and investigating each person's connections was a massive undertaking . Chapter 315 Hours passed , but there was still no good news . As for Mrs. Miller , no news was the best news . " Sir, Chase .

" Kirsten came over , carrying an insulated bucket . " Have something to eat . " Roderick had called Kirsten to make the food . He had no appetite , but he was worried Madeleine and Owen would go hungry . Madeleine took it and walked over to Owen , who was sitting in a daze nearby . " Dad , have something to eat . " Owen shook his head . He didn't have any appetite . " You have to eat . What if you collapse by the time Mrs. Miller wakes up ? " Without another word , Madeleine opened the insulated bucket , and the aroma of food drifted out .

Chapter 315 Owen sighed and had no choice but to take the fork and eat a few bites . Just as he finished , a nurse came out and called out . " The patient is awake . Does the family want to come see her ? " They all stood up at once . Just then , Roderick also received a call from Gerry . " Mr. Livingston , we found something ! At that time , Edward was there too ! " Mrs. Miller had just woken up and still looked very weak .
