Waking up with my nemesis baby novel Chapter 173

Bradley was looking down at his phone, only looking up when

he sensed someone walking toward him.

A young girl in a Thai–style school uniform skirt approached

him. She was slender, with her hair in a high ponytail, and her

eyes were full of life.

She looked around, her eyes locking onto Bradley. She smiled,

revealing her canines.

“Hello, are you Dr. Kline?”

Bradley stood up and nodded, “Hello, I’m Bradley.”

“My name is Isabella Martinez, you can just call me Isabella.”

The girl was very lively. She sat down and gave a simple

introduction.

“I’m 23, about to graduate with my master’s and applying for a

Ph.D. program. I guess you could say we’re sort of in the same

field.”

“Sort of?”

Isabella nodded, her two canines showing.

“Yeah, I’m in forensic medicine.”

Bradley: …

A doctor and a forensic pathologist. They really were only sort

of colleagues.

Madeleine almost couldn’t hold it in when she heard that,

finding herself inexplicably shipping them.

Bradley laughed too and handed her the menu.

“I wasn’t sure what you like, so I haven’t ordered yet.”

Isabella took it and smiled a little awkwardly, “Um, Dr. Kline, I’m

so sorry, but I actually invited a friend to join us. She’ll be here

any minute. If you don’t mind… could we all sit together?”

She quickly added, “Of course, if you mind, just forget I said

anything. I can have her sit at another table.”

“It’s fine.”

Bradley hadn’t taken the blind date seriously anyway.

It was just a meal. What difference did one more person make?

The two of them chatted, with Isabella glancing at the entrance

from time to time.

Finally.

She smiled and raised her hand, waving.

“Charlotte, over here!”

That name…

Bradley subconsciously looked in the direction she was

pointing. His pupils contracted almost imperceptibly, and the

knuckles of the hand holding the water glass turned slightly

white.

It really was her.

Charlotte was wearing a beige trench coat over a black knit

dress. Her long, slightly curled hair was draped over her

shoulders, and she exuded an air of mature elegance.

A stark contrast to the energetic Isabella in her school uniform

skirt.

Charlotte’s gaze also clearly paused when it fell on Bradley, but

she quickly recovered her composure.

“Charlotte.”

Isabella happily stood up and pulled her over to sit. “This is Dr.

Kline. Dr. Kline, this is my friend, Charlotte.”

Bradley’s whole body went stiff, his Adam’s apple bobbing with

difficulty.

Just as he was about to ask when she had come back.

Charlotte sat down gracefully and extended her right hand:

“Dr. Kline, it’s a pleasure to meet you.”

First time meeting?

Bradley froze for a moment, then his facial muscles twitched

stiffly, as if he’d been punched.

He reached out his hand, feeling the coolness of her fingertips,

and resisted the urge to grip it tightly. Their hands touched and

parted in an instant.

“Miss Hayes, hello.”

His voice was as steady as if he were truly greeting a stranger

for the first time.

Charlotte smiled and pushed the menu toward Bradley. “After
