Waking up with my nemesis baby novel Chapter 199

Chapter 199

“Sorry, I messed up.”

She lowered her head to fix it on her computer.

In one morning, Rebecca had already made this kind of mistake

three times.

Roderick tapped the table with his index finger.

“Take a break. We’ll continue in half an hour. Director Whitman,

you stay.”

After everyone else had left the office, Rebecca pulled out a

chair, sat down, leaned back, and let out a long sigh.

“Roderick, I need to take a leave of absence. Annual leave. The

kind that’s paid.”

“Whatever you want.”

Roderick picked up a bottle of water from the table and handed it to her. “In your current state, staying at the company will only

cause trouble.”

“You bet. I was drafting a contract this morning and almost left

off a zero.”

She sat bolt upright and looked at Roderick.

“Do you think I’m sick? Should I go to the hospital and get

checked out?

Let your wife go with me, okay?”

Roderick didn’t focus on the hospital part, just looked at her

strangely.

“Why my wife?”

“She has this magic about her. When I’m with her, big problems

don’t seem like a big deal, and I just start feeling happy for no

reason.”

Roderick’s lips curled into a proud smile. “That’s true.”

Then he narrowed his eyes suspiciously.

“You sure you’re not bi?”

“Are you crazy?”

Rebecca cried out as if she’d been bitten, “I only like men.”

Only then did Roderick’s expression relax.

“You don’t need to go to the hospital. You’re not sick.”

“You’re not a doctor. If Bradley said that, it might actually be

believable.”

Roderick chuckled, watching her with a faint smile as he said

something that hit a nerve: “The year he died, you were in a

state just like this for a while.”

“Roderick!”

Rebecca shot to her feet, the chair scraping harshly across the

floor.

Her face turned pale, and her fingers tightened on the edge of

the table.

“Didn’t I tell you? Don’t bring him up again!”

Roderick looked at her calmly, his gaze deep, as if he could see

right through her.

“Rebecca, don’t you always handle things decisively?”

“This is different.”

Rebecca turned her head away, her eyes already red.

“He’s different to me. You wouldn’t understand.”

“He’s different, but what about Adrian?”

Rebecca’s eyelashes trembled. She opened her mouth, but no

sound came out.

After a while, she recovered and her gaze was calm when she

turned back.

“What does this have to do with Adrian?”

“You’re acting strange today. Are you going to tell me it’s not

because of what happened with Adrian last night?”

Rebecca frowned. “Did Madeleine tell you?”

“Don’t blame my wife.”

Roderick clicked his tongue, raising an eyebrow smugly. “I was

right there when you two were on the phone.”

Rebecca: …

With a helpless look on her face, she went back to her seat and

sat down.

After a long silence, Rebecca finally spoke:

“Actually, for a long time, I hadn’t even thought about Leo Bishop. Now that you’ve brought him up, I still feel a little

upset.”

Roderick wasn’t good at comforting people, so he could only

state the facts:

“That’s normal. When your family went bankrupt back then, you wouldn’t have made it if Leo hadn’t been by your side. But Rebecca, I hope you can see clearly what your feelings for Leo

really are.”

What were her feelings for him?

Rebecca closed her eyes and thought for a moment.

When she was fifteen, the Whitman family fell into debt due to

a contract dispute and eventually went bankrupt.

Rebecca went from being a wealthy heiress to a poor girl who

could barely afford her tuition.

She still remembered those days, when her family had to

stretch every penny.
