Waking up with my nemesis baby novel Chapter 273

Chapter 273

During a pause when Meredith was catching his breath, he said

flatly, “If there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up.“.

“You dare!

Get your ass back here and get married.”

“Fine. If you’re not afraid of the whole family dying from poison

and making the news after we’re married, I’ll come back

anytime.”

He let out a cold laugh. “I’m an expert at making poison.”

With that, Adrian hung up.

He said those last two sentences with his back to Rebecca, his

face dark and menacing.

It was as if he didn’t want Rebecca to discover his dark side.

He was afraid she would run away if she saw him like this.

Taking a deep breath, Adrian tried to calm himself. When he turned and got back in the car, he was already wearing the

familiar smile of Professor Shaw, the one his students always

saw.

“Tired of waiting?”

“Not at all.”

Rebecca shook her head, but she could still sense Adrian’s

facade.

“What’s wrong? Did something happen? Is the lab rushing you?”

Adrian started the car, his eyes on the road. “No, that was

family.”

“Family, huh.”

Rebecca grew curious and turned to look at him. “I don’t think

you’ve ever mentioned them. Who’s in your family? Are you

close?”

Adrian didn’t answer immediately, as if he were subconsciously

weighing his words.

But those two seconds of hesitation were enough for Rebecca

to realize.

Wait.

Had she been a little too forward with her question?

There was still a month left in their trial period. Asking this kind

of question now, wouldn’t it be awkward if he didn’t want to

answer?

Before Adrian could speak, Rebecca quickly forced a grin.

“I was just asking. I’m not actually that curious.”

Adrian turned to glance at her, swallowing the words he was

about to say.

Really? So her curiosity about me was that low.

Their relationship wasn’t at that stage yet; some topics were

indeed off–limits.

With that thought, Adrian managed a strained smile.

“Shall we get going then?”

“Yeah, let’s go.”

The car pulled out onto the road. By unspoken agreement, neither of them mentioned what had just happened.

A not–so–perfect date.

Chapter 273

While watching the movie, both Rebecca and Adrian seemed

preoccupied.

The mystery movie had a fast pace, and you’d miss important

clues if you zoned out for even a moment.

So after it was over, they both tacitly agreed not to discuss the

narrative control.

“Are you heading to the lab in a bit?”

“Yeah.”

Adrian glanced at the time. “We still have a little time. Want to

do something else?”

“What… are you thinking?”

Rebecca’s mind went to the gutter, and her face flushed with

embarrassment.

Adrian couldn’t help but laugh.

“Even if you wanted to, there isn’t enough time. We have less

than forty minutes left.”

Rebecca breathed a sigh of relief, her mouth moving faster than her brain. “I get it, I get it. Men, you all say you can last a long

time.”

Adrian stopped in his tracks.

He turned his head, his hand holding Rebecca’s tightening

slightly.

“Who else has said that to you?”

“No one, no one.”

Rebecca finally realized what she’d said, looking embarrassed. “That’s just what they say in TV shows and novels. I was just

talking.”

Adrian narrowed his eyes, but seeing that Rebecca didn’t seem to be lying, his jealousy slowly faded.

He slowly moved closer, lowering his head to whisper in

Rebecca’s ear:

“The proof is in the pudding, Rebecca, understand?”

“Understand what?”

Rebecca hadn’t been desensitized yet; she inevitably grew

nervous whenever Adrian got close.

“Heh…” Adrian let out a low, husky laugh, and Rebecca felt the

tips of her ears burning.

He took the opportunity to wrap his arm around Rebecca and
