Waking up with my nemesis baby novel Chapter 244

After leaving the manor, Madeleine couldn’t hold back anymore

and pressed Rebecca, linking her arm.

“You changed the subject earlier. Come on, tell me, how far

have things gone with you and Professor Shaw?”

“What are you talking about? Nothing has gone anywhere. I

already told you, I wasn’t feeling well that day, he came to my

place to take care of me, and we haven’t seen each other

since.”

!

Madeleine’s eyes widened. “You haven’t seen each other?!

Don’t you like Professor Shaw?”

Rebecca gave a speechless smile.

“When did I ever tell you I liked Adrian?”

Madeleine was about to speak when her gaze suddenly froze,

her mouth slightly open. “Professor Shaw…”

Chapter 244

Rebecca had been looking at Madeleine with an expression that

said, “You’ve learned to be a little liar.”

When she turned her head, she froze as if paralyzed.

Adrian was standing right in front of her, wearing the same

overcoat from the hospital.

Behind his gold–rimmed glasses, his eyes stared at Rebecca,

dark and deep.

Did he hear?

He heard.

Rebecca’s heart sank, and she couldn’t help but curse inwardly.

How could there be such a coincidence in the world? The very

person she was talking about had heard her.

It’s true, you really shouldn’t talk about people behind their

backs.

The atmosphere grew tense for a moment, so Madeleine

quickly stepped in to break the ice.

“What a coincidence, Professor Shaw. I didn’t expect to run into

you here.”

Chapter 244

Adrian nodded, finally tearing his gaze away from Rebecca.

He adjusted his glasses and explained in a serious tone.

“My mother left something here and asked me to come get it. I

forgot you were here.”

“Haha, is that so? Your memory is that bad, Professor Shaw?”

Madeleine couldn’t help but laugh.

If you came on purpose, just admit it. This Professor Shaw is quite something, trying to save face like that.

Rebecca frowned. “Your mother’s things, why would they be

here?”

“Oh, I forgot to tell you, Rebecca. Professor Shaw lent us this

manor.”

Rebecca didn’t say anything, just turned her head and gave

Madeleine a deep look.

This couple.

You two are something else!

They’re doing this on purpose!

Chapter 244

“Oh, I just remembered I have something to do. Wasn’t Roderick

looking for me? Rebecca, I can’t go for a walk with you

anymore.”

After speaking, Madeleine looked at Adrian. “Professor Shaw,

you’re not in a hurry, are you? Keep Rebecca company for me,

will you? I’ll be right back.”

With that said, without caring if they agreed, Madeleine turned

and bolted.

Rebecca really couldn’t take it anymore and rolled her eyes.

When she turned back and saw Adrian staring at her again with

that resentful, deep gaze, she suddenly felt a little guilty.

She cleared her throat. “If you’re in a hurry to get your things,

you should go. I’ll just take a walk by myself.”

The moment the words left her mouth, Rebecca felt her wrist

being grabbed tightly.

Adrian gripped her through her sleeve and strode toward a

nearby mountain path.

In the distance, Madeleine, who was hiding and peeking from

behind a door, stomped her foot in frustration.

“Hey, why’d they run off!”

Adrian had long legs and took wide strides. He walked quickly, as if with anger, not waiting for Rebecca at all:

Rebecca had no choice but to jog to keep up with his pace.

“Slow… slow down.”

“I can’t keep up, Adrian.”

“Ow!”

Only when she cried out that word did Adrian stop abruptly, his

grip loosening.

Rebecca frowned, rolling up her sleeve to look at her wrist.

He hadn’t actually squeezed that hard, but she was wearing a diamond bracelet today, and it dug into her skin, causing some

pain.

Sure enough, a dark red mark had appeared on her fair wrist.

Adrian’s brow furrowed. He grabbed her wrist with both hands.

wanting to rub it for her.

Chapter 244

“Don’t touch me.”

Rebecca gritted her teeth and irritably snatched her hand back.

She rubbed it, and only after the pain subsided a bit did she pull her sleeve down.

She’d been in such a hurry she hadn’t noticed, but Rebecca looked up and realized Adrian had pulled her into the woods.

There were trees and bushes everywhere, without even a proper

path.

If you listened closely, you could hear rustling sounds, and

occasionally a few unfamiliar small animals would dart out.

Rebecca chuckled. “Why’d you drag me out here? Planning to

kill me and silence me?

This is a pretty convenient place to hide a body.”

After she spoke, she looked up and saw the dangerous look in

Adrian’s eyes.

He stepped forward, moving closer to Rebecca.

“Relax. Even if I were going to silence you, it wouldn’t be

“Relax. Even if I were going to silence you, it wouldn’t be that

fast. I would definitely… rape you first, then kill you.”
