waking up with my nemesis' baby novel

She didn't refuse , just raised an eyebrow . " Finished dealing with the little one , Professor Shaw ? Think you can handle all this ? " Adrian glanced down at the booklet , his tone even but assured, " Organizing a list and checking gifts is a little easier than explaining the origin of the universe . " Rebecca couldn't help but laugh out loud , and the stress of the busy afternoon seemed to melt away a bit . Under the night sky , with the guests gone and the lights dimming , The Willow Creek Manor took on a special kind of tranquility .

She tilted her head , watching for a moment , then suddenly said , " Adrian , I want to go to your place tonight . " Adrian suddenly paused . He looked up , his eyes landing on Rebecca with a questioning gaze . Once he understood what Rebecca meant , a hint of joy appeared on Adrian's face . Chapter 320 " Not in a hurry to go home this time ? " On their previous dates , they'd often end up at Adrian's apartment . But every time things started to get more intense , Rebecca would get cold feet and mumble about having to go home early for work the next day .

Rebecca chuckled at Adrian's deliberate teasing . " It's my dad's birthday , so I'm giving myself a few days off . That's reasonable , right ? " After she said that , her smile grew a little more complex . " Besides ... didn't I tell you today , there's something I need to talk to you about . " " Mmm . " Adrian nodded , " I remember . We'll go to my place after we finish up here ." " Okay . " They were both efficient people , they were both efficient people , and they quickly took care of the remaining cleanup , Chapter 320 finishing the final handover with the hotel manager .

As they walked to the parking lot , the cool night breeze blew away the daytime noise . Rebecca watched Adrian's straight back as he walked half a step ahead of her , her heart starting to race for no reason , her palms even growing a little sweaty . It wasn't the first time she'd been to his place , but this time , it felt completely different . Once inside the car , the enclosed space instantly made the atmosphere subtle and quiet . There was only the low hum of the engine starting and the soft whoosh of the AC .

Rebecca was a little nervous , her fingers unconsciously picking at the edge of her seatbelt as her gaze drifted to the colorful lights streaking past the window . She tried to find a topic to break the heart - pounding silence , but didn't know where to start . The car drove smoothly , and as they passed a 24 - hour convenience store , its bright lights felt like a sudden cue . Chapter 320 Rebecca seemed to be suddenly startled awake , shot upright , and almost blurted out : " Um ... Adrian , stop the car ." Adrian did as she said , slowly pulling the car over to the side of the road .

He turned his head to look at her , his eyes looking particularly deep in the dim light of the car : " What's wrong ? Forgot something ? " Rebecca's cheeks burned , her eyes darting away , not daring to look at him . Her voice was barely a whisper : " No ... C - could you get out and buy ... you know ... that thing ... " Her voice got quieter and quieter , the last few words barely leaving her throat . A knowing smile slowly formed in his eyes as he quietly watched her rare display of shyness mixed with forced composure .

He didn't get out of the car immediately , but instead leaned over slightly , closing the distance between them . Rebecca could even smell his crisp , clean scent , mixed with a faint , studious air that made her heart beat even faster . Chapter 320 A low and gentle voice sounded by her ear , carrying a barely- there hint of teasing and complete patience : " Which one ? " Rebecca , both embarrassed and flustered by his feigned ignorance , couldn't help but glare at him . " Which one do you think ?

" Adrian looked at how cute she was , with even her ears turning bright red , and let out a low chuckle . He reached out and gently took her slightly cold fingers , his thumb soothingly stroking the back of her hand a couple of times . " We don't need any . " Rebecca froze , looking up at him blankly . " ... Huh ? " Why wouldn't he need them ? Could it be ... Just as her mind started to race , Adrian looked at her , his gaze serious and focused , a gentle smile on his lips as he said slowly , " I got some . " ! Chapter 320 " ... Oh .

" Rebecca responded instinctively , her mind not quite catching up . A few seconds later , it hit her what those three words meant . He got some ? " When did you get them ? " " Last time . The day after we got back from the fall trip . " The moment he said that , Rebecca's face flushed red . That night , they had almost lost control . If it hadn't been for the circumstances ... cough , thank goodness for the circumstances .
