Waking up with my nemesis baby novel Chapter 325

Chapter 325

His back was tense, his shoulders slumped slightly, radiating an unspeakable… panic and despair.

The black sedan was parked quietly in the space in front of him.

Rebecca stopped in her tracks.

Seeing his back, looking like he’d been abandoned by the entire

world, all the excitement and fighting spirit Rebecca had felt

about coming back for a fight vanished instantly. All that was

left was a dull, persistent ache.

She slowly walked over, her footsteps sounding exceptionally

clear in the empty garage.

Adrian seemed lost in his own emotions and didn’t notice

immediately.

Until Rebecca stopped a short distance behind him and spoke

softly, with a barely perceptible catch in her voice:

“Hey… Adrian.”

Adrian’s back stiffened abruptly.

He turned around with extreme slowness, as if afraid of

startling an illusion.

His eyes finally landed on Rebecca’s face.

The deep despair and panic in Adrian’s eyes, like a lake

shattered by a stone, broke apart and erupted into unbelievable joy.

It was a surprise so intense it was almost painful, like getting back something he thought was lost forever.

The moment he confirmed it was her, all his reason and ability to think collapsed.

“Rebecca…”

He called out in a low, hoarse voice that trembled as if he’d just

survived a disaster.

The next second, he practically stumbled toward her, his long

arms shooting out to pull her fiercely, tightly into his embrace.

The force was staggering, as if he wanted to embed her into his

own body, never to be separated.

Rebecca was knocked back a step by his impact.

Caught off guard, she let out a muffled grunt.

Adrian didn’t care about any of that.

His arms wrapped around her waist and back, one hand

pressing firmly on the back of her head, holding her cheek

tightly against his chest.

Rebecca could clearly hear his heart pounding wildly and

erratically in his chest, each heavy, rapid beat hammering

against her eardrums.

He buried his face in her neck, greedily breathing in her familiar

scent, mixed with a faint, sweet strawberry fragrance.

It was proof that she was real, that he had her back.

“You didn’t leave… You didn’t leave…”

He murmured it over and over in her ear, as if stubbornly

confirming it, yet also out of unconscious relief. “Thank God.”

Rebecca was being squeezed so tightly she could barely

breathe, but she could feel his overwhelming emotions with

perfect clarity.

His immense panic and now his immense joy flowed into her

without reservation.

Her heart melted completely, any thought of confronting him

washed away.

She raised her hands, gently hugged him back, and stroked his

slightly trembling back.

“Mmm, I didn’t leave…” she responded softly, her voice muffled

against his chest. “I just went downstairs to buy something.”

Adrian didn’t seem to hear a word she said.

He loosened his hold just enough to see her face.

His eyes were still red, but they shone as if stars had fallen into

them, startlingly bright yet deeply vulnerable.

He cupped her face, his thumbs stroking her cheeks preciously

as his gaze swept over her eyebrows, her eyes, the tip of her

nose, and finally rested on her lips, slightly parted in surprise.

Without any hesitation, he lowered his head and kissed her

deeply.

The kiss was sudden and fierce, with an almost predatory urgency for confirmation, but it involuntarily softened into a

gentle, lingering one the moment he touched the sweet

strawberry flavor.

He sucked on her lips, his tongue tasting only the sweet and

sour candy flavor mixed with her own scent, which both

intoxicated and reassured him.
