Waking up with my nemesis baby novel Chapter 197

Chapter 197

Rebecca felt defeated. She could only look away and admit,

“Yes, I have other motives.”

“You approached me for that motive at first, but what about

now?”

“What do you mean?”

“I mean, aside from that motive, you contact me every day, see

me every few days… is there a personal reason for it?”

The air in the underground garage seemed to freeze.

Rebecca felt like her heart was about to leap out of her chest,

her fingertips unconsciously digging into her palms.

So… he knew all along?

He knew who she was.

He knew why she had approached him.

But he knew everything, so why did he still let her get close?

Adrian, what are you really thinking.

In just a few seconds, the smile on Adrian’s face slowly faded.

He smiled bitterly.

“Rebecca, is the question really that hard to answer?”

“I…..”

Rebecca avoided his gaze, her voice a little tight, “I’m very

sorry.”

The last trace of his bitter smile finally disappeared.

Adrian nodded.

“I get it. Just pretend I didn’t say anything. You’re still Eleanor.”

He nodded again.

“Be careful on your way home. Text me when you get home.”

Adrian’s figure disappeared into the elevator.

Rebecca stared blankly. She didn’t know how much time had

passed, but her feet were starting to go numb.

Taking a deep breath, Rebecca pulled open the car door and

got in.

She didn’t start the car, just sat there in the quiet cabin.

The air seemed to still hold Adrian’s scent.

While she was lost in thought, Rebecca’s phone rang.

It was a call from Madeleine.

“Hey, Rebecca~ Did you get Professor Shaw home? Did

anything happen?“.

Madeleine’s bright voice finally brought Rebecca back to her

senses a little.

“Yeah.”

She didn’t know what to say, so she just mumbled a reply.

Somehow, Madeleine on the other end could tell something

was wrong and anxiously asked Rebecca what had happened.

She pressed her fingers to her temples.

“Madeleine, I think I screwed things up.”

“What happened?”

Chapter 197

Madeleine had just gotten out of the shower, her hair not even

dry yet.

Roderick, who had been reading in bed, heard her talking in the

bathroom. Guessing her hair was still wet, he got up and walked

over.

He grabbed a dry towel from nearby and gently started dabbing

the water from her hair.

Madeleine pointed a finger at her phone, mouthed ‘It’s

Rebecca,’ and then put it on speaker.

Rebecca’s heavy voice came from the other end.

“It seems Adrian has known who I am all along, and why I was

getting close to him.”

Madeleine’s eyes widened in surprise.

She looked up at Roderick, but he didn’t seem too surprised.

“H–how could that be? Did he call you out on it?

He didn’t do anything to you, did he?”

Madeleine’s heart tightened.

Even though Rebecca can fight, she’s still a girl. What if

someone took advantage of her?

Rebecca was still feeling down, but she couldn’t help but laugh

when she heard Madeleine’s words.

“What could he do to me? Adrian isn’t a bad person.”

After saying that, she sighed again.

“I just feel like I’ve wasted so much time. It was all for nothing.”

“Don’t say that…”

“Don’t worry, I’m fine. I’m heading back now.”

After hanging up, Madeleine was even more worried.

She turned and looked up at Roderick.

“Rebecca’s tone sounded a little off to me. Is she really okay?”

Roderick didn’t stop drying her hair.

“She’s not the type to let herself be taken advantage of. She’s

probably just a bit shaken that her plan failed. And…”

He paused, a mysterious look on his face.
