Howard Geoffrey felt sothing was amiss and was just about to step forward to intervene, but then he saw Rebecca Quentin, unable to hold the bear with the baby in her arms, eventually let the bear fall from the chair...
Without warning, there ca a clinking sound of tal hitting the ground...
Rebecca Quentin initially thought it was just a battery, but besides the battery, there was also a square tal object that fell out.
It was a rather complex-looking tal circuit board, with two wires faintly visible connecting into the bear’s body.
Rebecca Quentin suddenly recalled a mini surveillance device she had seen on TV once, and instantly felt that this tal object looked very similar...
She realized in an instant; the bear actually contained a surveillance device, and upon closer inspection, the bear’s eyes indeed looked odd, the black pupils resembling the pinhole lens of a surveillance cara.
Oh my God...
This bear was given by Howard Geoffrey before she gave birth, so the surveillance inside...
Rebecca Quentin abruptly turned to look at Howard Geoffrey.
Howard Geoffrey was caught off guard by what was unfolding before him.
Rebecca Quentin suddenly shouted angrily, "Howard Geoffrey, you’re actually spying on !!"
How despicable, truly despicable!!
After putting Andrew to sleep, Rebecca Quentin dragged Howard Geoffrey, full of anger, down to the first floor.
"You went too far, Howard Geoffrey. How could you install a surveillance device to monitor ?"
Confronted with Rebecca Quentin’s aggressive gaze, Howard Geoffrey maintained a defiant deanor and answered truthfully, "I couldn’t stop worrying about you."
"Don’t give such grandiose excuses, you just... just..." Rebecca Quentin suddenly blushed.
Howard Geoffrey guessed what Rebecca Quentin was thinking at that mont and couldn’t help but smile, teasingly asking, "What is it?"
Rebecca Quentin raised her fist, "You pervert!"
She finally understood why he knew about her interview last ti; it was all because of this bear transmitting the information to him.
Furthermore, she would undress every night for postpartum care, which ant he had seen everything...
Oh my God...
Howard Geoffrey grabbed Rebecca Quentin’s hand, pulling her closer, and slyly whispered, "Don’t be angry. Even if I saw sothing I shouldn’t, it’s not like I haven’t seen it before. If you feel it’s unfair, you can watch anyti..."
"Howard Geoffrey!!"
This scoundrel!
Howard Geoffrey smiled and coaxed, "Alright, I had no ill intentions, I just wanted to know what you’re thinking at any ti..."
Rebecca Quentin shook off Howard Geoffrey and coldly said, "I’ll definitely throw away everything you brought here!" With that, she turned and headed upstairs to take action.
Unexpectedly, just as she was turning, Howard Geoffrey suddenly hugged her from behind. "Stop it, I only installed the device in the bear, nowhere else."
Rebecca Quentin struggled to break his hands from her waist, "Let go!"
Howard Geoffrey turned her around, looking down at her angry, delicate face, he softened his voice to coax, "As long as you can calm down, I’ll do whatever you say, okay?"
He swore, when the little one grew up, he would have a good talk with him about this!
To cry at that mont out of all tis...
Not only did it ruin his "good thing," but it also brought trouble to the bear, making Howard Geoffrey now have to lower his stance.
Rebecca Quentin pointed at the door, "Fine, you leave, and don’t co here again."
Howard Geoffrey frowned, "Are you sure?"
Rebecca Quentin rcilessly said, "I’m certain, if you can do that, I’ll be very grateful."
In the next second, Howard Geoffrey turned and left.
Never expected it to be so easy to make him leave. After the sound of the door closing, Rebecca Quentin’s wide, astonished eyes stayed fixated for several seconds.
Rebecca Quentin had so doubts, then opened the door to check.
Sure enough, his car was slowly disappearing from her view...
Rebecca Quentin slowly closed the door. After seeing him leave, she felt an indescribable sensation welling up inside her.
Suddenly, stepping heavily, she returned to her room.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, she looked at little Andrew’s innocent sleeping face, but her thoughts had already drifted far away.
Did you really think I ca here every day just to see you?
His words echoed in her mind...
To be honest, she wasn’t completely unaffected by his words; sotis she could even see a sincerity in his eyes that she had never seen before.
But how could she allow herself to believe again?
Her heart was already battered and scarred, unable to endure any more hurt or pain; even if he sincerely wanted to be with her now, she wouldn’t allow herself to be attached again.
He and she have always been from two different worlds. She could never enter his world, not to ntion there was Mrs. Geoffrey and the grudges between the two families from the previous generation standing between them.
Even if she could be with him, it would make his future days difficult, caught between his mother and her, a position he might struggle with all his life.
Most importantly, she no longer held the sa persistence for him; whether he cared about her or not, she didn’t care now. As long as he stopped disturbing her, she believed she could lead a good life.
Before she knew it, evening had arrived. After a simple ho-cooked dinner, Rebecca Quentin returned to her room.
Andrew had already woken up, his innocent eyes blinking as he looked around.
Rebecca Quentin smiled gently, taking the baby out of the cradle and placed him on the bed.
Andrew was lively whenever he awoke, moving his arms and legs restlessly.
Watching the child, Rebecca Quentin suddenly didn’t want to think about anything else, as long as the child was by her side, she could ignore everything.
After a while of playing, Andrew drank so milk and fell asleep again.
After bathing, Rebecca Quentin leaned against the headboard, experiencing her first bout of insomnia since the baby was born.
Thinking about what happened that afternoon on this bed, she felt both embarrassed and angry, yet didn’t know how to handle it.
Call the police?
Given his status, just a casual explanation from him would make those officers fawn over him.
Slap him, insult him?
There’s no point; she’s never been the hysterical type.
He was too much; he already had a pregnant fiancée and still ca to ss with her...
She couldn’t tolerate his disregard for moral boundaries; she needed to let him know that not every relationship was his to toy with. Even if their relationship was tangled, it was utterly unfair to his fiancée, Alice Robinson.
