waking up with my nemesis' baby novel

Chapter 321 Adrian watched the colorful play of emotions on her face , the amusement in his eyes deepening . He gave her fingers a gentle squeeze , then sat up straight again and started the car smoothly . " Settle in . We're going home . " His voice was still gentle , but it now held a reassuring , steady strength . The car merged back into traffic , but the atmosphere inside had quietly shifted . The unnerving awkwardness and silence were replaced by a warm , intimate understanding .

Rebecca no longer looked out the window , instead stealing glances at Adrian's profile as he focused on driving . Her heart was still beating fast . The car drove into the underground garage and came to a stop . Chapter 321 After they got out of the car , Adrian kept holding Rebecca's hand , making small talk as if to ease her nervousness . In fact , Rebecca was still nervous . When she got upstairs , she realized she had left her phone in Adrian's car . " Huh? " She froze for a moment , stopped , and rummaged through her small purse again . " I think my phone is missing .

" Adrian turned his head to look at her . " Did you leave it in the ' Probably ... " Rebecca thought back . Most likely , she had been so focused on talking to him when she got out that she'd left it on the passenger seat without thinking . " Tsk , my memory . " Adrian watched her frown slightly , a helpless yet fond smile on his face . He reached out and ruffled the top of her hair . " It's okay , I'll go down and get it . You rest for a bit . " Chapter 321 " Okay ." The apartment was quiet , with only her inside .

She changed her shoes , walked to the living room to pour a glass of water , and sipped it slowly . Her thoughts drifted to what she needed to talk to Adrian about . About Leo , about that unexpected box of old things . She had to figure out the right way to bring it up - to be clear without making it seem like she was too hung up on the past and causing Adrian to misunderstand . As she was pondering , the doorbell rang with a " ding - dong . " Rebecca was taken aback and instinctively glanced at the wall clock . That was fast . Adrian had only been gone for less than two minutes , right ?

Even if the elevator was quick , a round trip couldn't be that fast . " Coming , coming ! " She thought Adrian had forgotten his keys or something , so she Chapter 321 called out as she put down her water glass and hurried to the entryway . She peeked through the peephole . The hallway was brightly lit , but the person standing outside wasn't Adrian . It was a strange woman she had never seen before . The woman wore an expensive custom - made suit , her makeup was flawless , and her competent demeanor carried a hint of unapproachable , cold pride .

She stood there , not in a hurry , but with a kind of scrutinizing patience . Rebecca's heart skipped a beat , and confusion instantly flooded her mind . Who ? Wrong door ? She hesitated for a moment before opening the door , but only a crack , looking warily at the woman outside . " Hello , who are you looking for ? " The woman outside didn't seem surprised to see Rebecca . Chapter 321 Her gaze swept over Rebecca quickly and sharply , from her house slippers to her casually tied - up hair .

A faint , almost imperceptible flicker of disdain crossed her eyes , but it was quickly masked by a perfectly polite smile . " Excuse me , is this Professor Adrian's home ? " The woman's voice was also pleasant , her enunciation perfect , carrying a well - trained elegance . Rebecca's confusion deepened . She nodded . " Yes , and you are ? " The woman smiled faintly . " Hello , my last name is Vance . Rosalind . I'm an ... old friend of Adrian's . " Rosalind ? Rebecca had no memory of that name , but the woman had accurately stated Adrian's name and title .

Her heart sank a little , and a bad feeling quietly surfaced . A pretty woman shows up in front of your boyfriend late at night , and her tone is so intimate and flirty . Could that possibly Chapter 321 be a good sign ? " He's not here right now . " Rebecca maintained a basic level of politeness , but her tone became a little colder . " He just went downstairs to get something , he'll be back soon . What do you need him for ? " Maybe I can pass on a message . " The smile on Rosalind's face didn't change , but her eyes seemed to deepen .

She looked at Rebecca , her tone full of meaning : " It's something rather personal , I'm afraid it wouldn't be convenient to pass it on . It's alright , I can wait for him . " Her gaze went past Rebecca , as if trying to look inside the house , her posture carrying a subtle assertiveness and entitlement , as if she were the one who should be standing here waiting for the master to return . Rebecca's hand on the doorknob tightened slightly . After hesitating for a couple of seconds , Rebecca stepped Chapter 321 aside .
