Waking up with my nemesis baby novel Chapter 218

Chapter 218

Adrian’s fingers slowly tightened with a force that couldn’t be

resisted.

His eyes, usually as gentle as water, now looked like a bottle of

ink had been spilled in them, swirling with darkness.

Rebecca had been alive for over twenty years; she wasn’t some

naive young girl.

With just one look, she could tell what was in Adrian’s desire-

filled eyes.

And that almost blunt thing he said…

She gritted her teeth and yanked her arm back with all her

might.

“I thought Professor Shaw was above worldly desires, with only

academics on his mind.”

Adrian let out a soft laugh.

“Disappointed to find out I’m just an ordinary man?”

Rebecca pressed her lips together and said nothing.

Adrian hid the look in his eyes and said indifferently, “Rebecca,

all men are the same.”

“No, they’re not.”

Rebecca’s reply was firm, Leo’s image echoing in her mind.

He’s different.

In that brief moment she was distracted, Adrian instantly read

the thought in her eyes.

She had denied what he just said. Did that mean there was a

different… man in her heart?

The corners of Adrian’s eyes turned a little red, and he

uncontrollably clenched his fists.

Rebecca didn’t look at Adrian again, her tone flat. “I have

something to do, so I’ll be going. Thanks for bringing me the

keys, Professor Shaw.”

With that, Rebecca turned and left without a hint of hesitation.

Just like her usual style.

Chapter 218

Never one to drag things out.

Always decisive and efficient.

Back at the car, Madeleine leaned halfway out the window and

asked,

“Rebecca, what took you so long?”

“It’s nothing. I just exchanged a few words with them.”

Rebecca looked perfectly calm, as if nothing had happened at

all.

Even if Madeleine noticed something was wrong, she didn’t

press the issue.

She knew Rebecca. When she couldn’t hold it in anymore, she

would talk.

Since she wasn’t willing to talk, she must still be thinking it over.

It was better to give her some time to think.

The next day was the bid meeting.

Chapter 218

The bid meeting started at ten, but at nine–twenty, Madeleine

and Roderick were still at home, eating fruit and watching TV.

Rebecca called, her voice a furious shout.

“Do you know what time it is? Where are you two?!

!”

Madeleine was sitting on the sofa with her legs propped on

Roderick’s lap. He was watching TV while massaging her

calves.

Madeleine exercised a lot but usually didn’t have much time to

stretch her muscles. Every night, as she was drifting off to

sleep, Roderick would give them a massage.

Madeleine was really enjoying it right now. She had to admit,

Roderick was pretty good at this.

If the company ever went under, he could always learn a trade.

“Don’t worry, Rebecca, we’re on our way.”

“Bullshit! I can hear the music from your bubblegum romance

series!”

Rebecca put her hand to her forehead.

She had no idea why Madeleine loved watching those kinds of

shows. She’d watched quite a few with her during the days she

stayed at Madeleine’s place, and now she could recognize it

just by the sound.

Caught in her lie, Madeleine gave an embarrassed grin.

“You’re so smart, Rebecca~ We haven’t left yet. We’ll head out

as soon as this episode is over.”

“What? Are you two crazy? It starts at ten, and you’re not

coming?”

“Come on, why go so early? We can get in even after it starts.”

Rebecca pinched the bridge of her nose.

“You two are really confident. Aren’t you worried Edward won’t

fall into the trap you’ve set?”

“Impossible.”

That was Roderick. He took the phone from Madeleine’s hand.

“Edward signed the contract with the bank yesterday.”

“He signed another one?
