Waking up with my nemesis baby novel Chapter 245

Her heart skipped a beat.

Rebecca was startled by Adrian’s undisguised, fierce gaze.

He was like a completely different person from the Professor

Shaw she knew.

She couldn’t help but take half a step back, but Rebecca quickly

recovered and sneered.

“Adrian, do you think I’m some naive girl in her early twenties?

That I’m that easy to scare?”

Adrian’s cold gaze softened, and he returned to his usual calm

and detached demeanor.

Rebecca was right.

He knew she was this kind of person, that he couldn’t scare her. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so angry he started talking

nonsense.

Adrian kept staring at her. They stood there in a stalemate for

who knows how long.

“Where have you been the past few days?”

Rebecca turned her head away. “On a business trip.”

“Did you go to P Country to see Professor Annelise Sloan?”

“You’re following me!”

Rebecca glared, looking at Adrian irritably.

He chuckled softly and said lightly, “Annelise was my deputy

before.”

Rebecca was at a loss for words.

She knew Adrian was capable, but she hadn’t expected him to

be this capable.

Annelise was a top figure in the industry, and she’d only been

his deputy.

She took a deep breath.

“That’s right, I went to see her. The Whitman group is short-

staffed right now, so of course I have to have a backup plan.”

“A backup plan? Why do you need a backup plan? What’s the first plan?”

“I…”

Rebecca felt like she had a lump in her throat.

Some things were hard to say.

Adrian saw the tips of her ears turning a little red and moved

closer to her.

“You weren’t this cowardly when you forced a kiss on me last

time.”

“Adrian!”

Rebecca glared at him.

“Can we not talk about last time? Just pretend I was sick and

delirious, that my brain short–circuited and I did something

stupid, okay?”

Adrian narrowed his eyes, hiding the trace of hurt and sadness.

A bitter smile touched his lips.

“Looks like my decision that day was the right one. What if we had done it, and you turned around and blamed me for it later?”

Rebecca’s face grew even hotter.

“I would never.”

She turned her head away, her heart pounding wildly.

In truth, she couldn’t explain what was wrong with her either.

That time with the stomach flu, she was genuinely touched, no

matter what Adrian’s motive was for coming to find her.

So she acted on impulse.

She kissed him.

And even suggested…

Rebecca wasn’t one to have regrets. Once she made a decision,

she accepted it calmly.

But she did, in fact, regret what happened that day a little.

She didn’t want Adrian to think she was the kind of person who would do anything for personal gain.

So before she was even fully recovered, she just bought a plane

ticket and fled to P Country, using work to cool her head for a few days.

She hadn’t even finished cooling down, and now that damn

couple, Madeleine and Roderick, were starting to stir up trouble.

Rebecca had a huge headache.

She should have given Madeleine a heads–up.

After standing in silence for a while, Rebecca got a few

mosquito bites and irritably scratched the back of her hand.

“Let’s walk.”

Adrian seemed to sigh quietly. He reached for her hand, but she

pulled away.

Without a word, Adrian moved in again and grabbed her hand

firmly.

His other hand reached into his pocket, pulled out a tube of

mosquito repellent, and he carefully applied it to Rebecca’s

hand.
