Waking up with my nemesis baby novel Chapter 309

The few older men who might have wanted to keep joking felt

too embarrassed to say anything more.

He had shown them complete respect.

“As for our marriage…” Adrian said, his tone turning a bit more

serious as he glanced back at Rebecca.

“Rebecca and I both believe that a marriage is about two people

forming a new family, not about one person joining the other’s.”

They looked at each other, their gazes full of tacit

understanding and composure.

“I do research at the university. I wouldn’t call it relaxed, but my

schedule is relatively flexible. Taking care of Rebecca is my

responsibility, and being with her is my blessing.”

As Adrian said this, his eyes were filled with unconcealable

sincerity.

“In the future, if she needs it, I’m of course willing to give her my

full support so she can focus on her own career.”

Chapter 309

Adrian didn’t directly refute their live–in son–in–law implication;

instead, he deftly sidestepped the implication.

After all, it was their life to live, and the gossip of others

couldn’t change anything.

He just needed to put Rebecca at ease, and that was enough.

The older men, who had been teasing before, now looked a bit

more serious.

Plus, Mr. Whitman was also speaking up for Adrian. Since the

Whitman family was in the pharmaceutical industry, he naturally

understood Adrian’s value in the field better than these other

executives.

Hearing all that praise, you’d think Mr. Whitman was just

showering Adrian with over–the–top compliments.

“The kids will be fine on their own. Let’s not get in their way, us

old folks. Come on, I’ve got good tea and wine over there. I’ll

take you to try some.”

With that, Mr. Whitman led the group to the other table.

After they left, Rebecca finally walked over to Adrian, tilting her

head to gaze at his gentle profile.

Chapter 309

“Not bad, Professor Shaw. I thought you were just cooped up in

your lab all day analyzing data, unable to handle the

pleasantries.”

Rebecca had been incredibly worried about bringing Adrian to

the birthday party.

She was worried Adrian would say the wrong thing, worried her

dad and his friends would give him a hard time.

After all, the financial gap between them was huge. They

weren’t in the same league at all. In this circle, there were too

many snobs, and someone was bound to say something nasty

to his face.

But Adrian handled it very well.

“It wasn’t just pleasantries.”

Adrian’s lowered hand gently took Rebecca’s. “I meant every

word. When you want to fly, I’ll be down below watching,

making sure you can always come back to my arms when

you’re tired.”

Rebecca stared into his eyes, her heart fluttering as if a feather

had gently brushed against it, sending out tiny ripples.

“Wow, Professor Shaw… I’m really touched.”

Then she leaned in and whispered, “It’s a shame there are so

many people here, or I’d really give you a kiss.”

Adrian, who was always composed and restrained, found his

breathing becoming uneven.

He looked up helplessly.

Hmm…

There really were a few too many people.

He smiled and leaned close to Rebecca’s ear, “Then think about

how you’re going to make it up to me later.”

The words seemed proper enough.

But why did they sound not so proper?

Rebecca’s ears felt a little hot. Afraid someone would notice,

she shot Adrian an annoyed glance and quickly tucked her hair

behind her ear to hide it.

Worried that Adrian would feel uncomfortable in this kind of

setting, Rebecca kept him by her side wherever she went.

After a round of greetings, everyone knew that Rebecca was
