Waking up with my nemesis baby novel Chapter 189

Was I seeing things?

“Get in. It’s fine to sit in the passenger seat.”

Rebecca smiled and nodded. After getting in and buckling her

seatbelt, she turned her head and noticed Adrian was staring at

her.

“What’s wrong, Professor Shaw? Is… something wrong with

me?”

“You look… very different today, too.”

Rebecca heard him, her smile looking a little forced.

Of course!

He should think about what kind of event this is. It might be a

medical seminar, but the organizers specifically said they

invited a lot of guests from other industries.

She, Rebecca, was at least somewhat well–known in the

financial world; she could easily be recognized, you know…

So, before she left the house, Rebecca picked out an outfit that

was the complete opposite of her usual style.

As low–key as it gets.

Adrian looked away and said nothing, simply starting the car

and heading toward the venue.

The venue was packed with influential figures and big shots.

Madeleine followed by Roderick’s side, thinking she was just

there to watch, but he started pulling her around to meet people

as soon as they walked in.

“This is Ethan Allen from Spark Capital. Mr. Allen, hello. This is

my wife, Madeleine. She’s starting her own business recently,

please look out for her in the future.”

“Mr. Sampson, I heard your nephew is taking on office

renovation projects recently?

Yes, my wife is setting up a company, so we’ll contact you if we

need anything.”

“Linda Gill…”

Chapter 189

From the moment they entered, Roderick introduced his

connections to Madeleine one by one, putting in a good word

for her both directly and indirectly.

Having been in the financial world for so many years, Roderick

knew that introducing his connections so bluntly wasn’t exactly

a good thing.

Using up favors is, in essence, a kind of expense.

But she was the one he loved, so all the favors and expenses

were worth it.

After a round of socializing, Madeleine’s face was stiff from

smiling, and her mouth was dry from talking.

When there was finally a break from people, she poked

Roderick in the waist.

“So you had another reason for bringing me here.”

Roderick chuckled, “My wife is building her career, I have to

support her.”

“Your way of supporting is pretty special, huh?”

Madeleine said with a grin, “But I like it.”

Chapter 189

Truly loving someone isn’t about giving them unconditional

help, but about lifting them up.

It’s about putting her in a comfortable position to work hard

from, bringing her a little closer to success.

Not long after the two sat down, the seminar began.

Most of it was obscure technical knowledge that Madeleine

didn’t understand, so she couldn’t help but let her mind wander.

Finally, the host announced that they were inviting Adrian to

speak.

Madeleine immediately perked up, straightening her back and

staring at the stage.

Adrian walked slowly onto the stage, his suit giving off an aura

of calm and reserved confidence.

He stood tall and straight like a pine tree, his black suit was

well–tailored, making his shoulders look even broader.

His tie was knotted impeccably, its dark, subtle pattern faintly

visible under the lights, exuding a low–key nobility.

Looking at his face, his features were sharp: brows like blades,

Chapter 189

a high–bridged nose, and a clean, sharp jawline.

Behind his glasses, his eyes were deep and sharp, as if they

could see right through a person.

His thin lips were slightly pursed, giving him a’somewhat

distant air when he wasn’t smiling, yet it was strangely eye-

catching.

“He’s so handsome…”

Madeleine couldn’t help but sigh. This was a world away from

the old fossil she had imagined.
