Waking up with my nemesis baby novel Chapter 315

“Adrian, I know you have a girlfriend, but there’s something I

want to say again. Our two families know each other inside and

out, and our union would be the best choice for both our

families. I don’t care who’s in your heart right now; feelings can

be cultivated over time. I can even accept… you staying in

touch with her after we’re married. As long as it doesn’t go too

far, I won’t interfere.”

She finished, feigning generosity, paused for a moment, and

then continued, “The resources and prospects that the Vance family and the Shaw family could gain by joining forces are far beyond what personal feelings can compare to. Are you sure

you won’t reconsider?

This is the most rational choice, the one that best serves your

interests.”

She had lowered herself completely, even making an almost

humiliating concession.

She laid the practicality of the strategic marriage on the table,

trying to persuade him with pure rationality.

Chapter 315

Adrian listened quietly, his face expressionless, only the gaze behind his glasses growing colder.

After Rosalind finished, he was silent for a few seconds before

he slowly began to speak, his voice clear and cold, every word carrying undeniable weight.

“Rosalind, first of all, there is no such thing as ‘staying in touch‘

between my girlfriend and me. She is the woman I love, the only

person I want to spend my life with. There is no option for you

to ‘accept‘ or ‘interfere‘ with.”

“Second.”

He paused, a hint of mockery in his voice.

“What you call ‘rational‘ is a calculation based on maximizing

benefits, not my kind of rational. My rationality tells me that a

marriage without an emotional foundation, filled with

calculations and compromises, is the most irrational and

immoral thing of all.”

“And finally.”

His voice suddenly became extremely serious. “Please, respect

me and respect yourself. Don’t make this kind of proposal that

insults both you and me again. My girlfriend and I have a

Chapter 315

wonderful relationship, and I am not, nor will I ever, consider

any other possibility. I don’t want to hear words like this again.”

The other end of the line fell into a long silence, with only the

sound of slightly ragged breathing.

After a long while, Rosalind’s voice came again, carrying a

barely perceptible tremor and… resentment.

“Adrian, you’ll regret this. Feelings are the most unreliable thing.

The only thing that’s real are the interests you can hold in your

hands.”

“Those are your values, not mine.”

Adrian said coldly, “If there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up.”

Without waiting for a response, he hung up the phone.

Standing in place, Adrian took a deep breath, suppressing the

irritation that the phone call had stirred up in him.

He composed himself, making sure his usual gentle and calm

expression was back, before turning to walk back to Kevin.

The little guy was still sitting there, quietly watching the deer in

the distance, seemingly undisturbed by his phone call.

Chapter 315

Adrian walked over and sat down beside him again, as if that

unpleasant phone call had never happened.

“Mr. Shaw,” Kevin turned his head and asked in a low voice, “are

you in some kind of trouble?”

Adrian was a little surprised; he hadn’t expected the boy to be

so perceptive.

He smiled and gently shook his head.

“No trouble.

Just an… unimportant person, saying some unimportant

things.”

Is that so?

Kevin tilted his head.

Hmm, so adults lie too.

The investigation on Gerry’s end wasn’t going smoothly. There were just too many people going in and out of the mall, and

investigating each person’s connections was a massive

undertaking.

Chapter 315

Hours passed, but there was still no good news.

As for Mrs. Miller, no news was the best news.

“Sir, Chase.”
