Waking up with my nemesis baby novel Chapter 323

Chapter 323

Rosalind had already stepped forward, her smile gentle and

graceful, her tone naturally intimate, as if that.explosive

conversation just now had never happened:

“Adrian, you’re back. I just got here a little while ago. I ran into a

resident downstairs and we came up together. I hope I’m not

interrupting by dropping in?”

Adrian didn’t play along with her social pleasantries, his gaze

locked firmly on Rosalind.

His tone was dangerously low, “Answer my question. Who told

you the address?

What are you doing here?”

His reaction, the tension in his voice and his unusual coldness,

along with Rosalind’s sudden change in demeanor, didn’t

escape Rebecca’s notice.

She stood where she was, watching the two of them at the

door, feeling the glass of water she’d just drunk sitting like a

cold weight in her stomach.

Adrian walked quickly to Rebecca’s side, instinctively reaching

out to take her arm.

His voice softened a bit, laced with urgency, “Rebecca, did

she…”

But Rebecca subtly sidestepped, avoiding his hand, and just

looked up at him.

Her gaze was almost too calm. Beneath the calm was a raging

undercurrent.

“Professor Shaw,” she said softly, using his most formal

professional title, her tone distant.

“Rosalind said she’s an old friend of yours and has something

private to discuss with you.”

She paused, her gaze lingering for a moment on Rosalind’s

flawless face before returning to Adrian, her eyes holding a

scrutiny he had never seen before.

“I’m going to go.”

“No!”

Adrian was adamant, reaching out to grab her, but Rebecca’s

eyes quickly darted away.

Rebecca avoided Adrian’s outstretched hand, the movement

light but decisive.

She took a deep breath, and when she looked up again, the

raging undercurrent in her eyes seemed to have been forcibly

suppressed, leaving only a weary calm.

“Adrian.”

She softened her tone, but her voice carried an even greater

se of distance.

“Tonight, I actually had some things I wanted to tell you.”

Her gaze swept lightly over Rosalind, the elegant woman who seemed detached from it all, watching the scene with great

interest.

“But now, it seems, is not the right time.”

Rebecca’s lips even managed to form a faint curve, as if in self-

mockery, or perhaps reassurance.

“You two talk about your business first. I… I’ll go now.”

“No!”

Adrian’s voice was more urgent, even tinged with a hint of

imperceptible panic.

He tried to grab her again, but Rebecca subtly deflected his

hand.

“Just a moment, wait for me to handle this…”

He looked at her, almost pleading.

But Rebecca shook her head, no longer looking at him.

Her gaze fell on the entryway cabinet, where Adrian’s car keys

lay, tossed there when he’d just gotten back.

She walked over, her slender fingers picking up the cold set of

keys and closing them in her palm.

Then, she turned to Adrian, the faint smile on her face

becoming clearer, yet somehow jarring.

“I’ll take your car home.”

Her tone could even be described as light.

“You can come get it tomorrow when it’s convenient, or I’ll have

my assistant bring it back to you.”

“Rebecca!”

Adrian watched her, his heart pounding in panic, even more so

than when he’d faced Rosalind’s surprise attack.

He would rather she screamed and questioned him, not calmly

smile and push him away like this.

Rebecca gave him no chance to stop her.

She gripped her keys and put on her shoes, her movements

fluid and without hesitation.

Opening the door, she turned to Rosalind with a slight nod, her

manners impeccable:

“Miss Vance, take your time.”

Then, without a backward glance, she walked into the elevator
