Hearing the sadness underlying Rebecca Quentin’s words, Christine Quinn asked worriedly, "Becca, did you and Howard Geoffrey have a fight because of Alice Robinson?"
Rebecca Quentin remained silent.
Christine Quinn said softly, "It seems the rumor in the newspapers about Alice being pregnant is true..."
There are no secrets that don’t get out. Even if this matter hasn’t been made public yet, it will be eventually.
Rebecca Quentin answered calmly, "Yes."
"Has it been confird?"
"Yes."
At this mont, Christine Quinn’s tone beca earnest, "I know won care about these things, but since it’s already happened, if you still want to be with Howard, you must force yourself to swallow this thorn. I believe that if Howard really cares about you, he’ll handle this matter appropriately!"
Handle it?
Who knew that he personally went to the hospital to ask Alice Robinson to keep the child.
But now, she no longer needed to be tangled by this issue.
"Sis, you don’t have to worry about . I’ve always been clear about what I’m doing and will handle the matter between Howard and rationally."
"Alright, if anything happens, just call ."
"Okay."
As soon as Rebecca Quentin put down the phone, an older maid had already co to her.
The maid respectfully said, "Miss Quentin, Mr. Geoffrey just called, saying he would co to pick you up for dinner this afternoon."
Rebecca Quentin nodded slightly, "I know."
The maid then retreated.
Rebecca Quentin didn’t pay much attention to this matter, and her gaze continued on the book beside her.
In the afternoon, Howard Geoffrey indeed returned earlier than usual...
The maid saw Howard Geoffrey and went to greet him, "Mr. Geoffrey."
Howard Geoffrey handed the car keys and other items to the maid and asked, "Where’s Becca?"
"Miss Quentin is upstairs."
Howard Geoffrey then headed to the second floor.
Not finding her in the room, he imdiately entered the nursery.
As expected, she was sitting by the crib, quietly watching the sleeping Andrew.
Howard Geoffrey walked over and said, "Didn’t the maid tell you I wanted to take you out this afternoon?"
Suddenly hearing Howard Geoffrey’s voice, Rebecca Quentin’s body didn’t react, and her eyes remained on the child’s face, as if he hadn’t returned, and as if she hadn’t heard his voice.
Howard Geoffrey gently pulled Rebecca Quentin up, wrapping his arm around her waist, and softly said, "My elder brother and Roger have co to New York, along with my sister-in-law. They all want to et you, so change your clothes and let’s have dinner with them."
Despite facing Howard Geoffrey, Rebecca Quentin still didn’t look at his face, and her indifference was just the sa as it had been all week, with no reaction to him.
Howard Geoffrey took in Rebecca Quentin’s reaction but didn’t get angry, remaining patient throughout, "Becca, it’s rare for my elder brother and sister-in-law to co to New York. I want to introduce you to them."
Rebecca Quentin was completely unmoved.
Howard Geoffrey had never been a patient person, but with Rebecca Quentin, he used almost all of his calmness and self-control...
At this second, facing Rebecca Quentin’s indifference once more, the darkness in Howard Geoffrey’s eyes finally showed so sharpness.
Suddenly, he lifted Rebecca Quentin’s chin, forcing her to look at him, and his tone was twisted with a bit of gentleness, "It’s been more than a week. How long are you going to keep treating like I’m invisible?"
Rebecca Quentin neither responded nor resisted, not at all afraid of the change in Howard Geoffrey’s gaze.
Howard Geoffrey stared into Rebecca Quentin’s eyes, which gradually beca inscrutable, and the danger and fear emitted from his eyes, his coldness freezing the surrounding air, bringing the temperature in the nursery down to freezing point.
Suddenly, Howard Geoffrey tightened his grip on Rebecca Quentin’s chin, gritting his teeth as he snarled, "Rebecca Quentin, don’t push your luck!!"
Even though the force Howard Geoffrey used was restrained, it was still unbearable enough for Rebecca Quentin to feel the pain. However, facing such pain, she just bit her lip tightly, remaining silent.
Howard Geoffrey suddenly released Rebecca Quentin, looking at her bruised chin, and said coldly, "You can carry on dragging this out with , but as I’ve told you, we have all our lives to slowly wear each other down!!"
After saying this, Howard Geoffrey turned and left in anger.
After Howard Geoffrey left, Rebecca Quentin had already forgotten the pain in her chin. She sat down quietly, her whole body in a daze.
Howard Geoffrey sped all the way, but eventually, without knowing where the car ended up, he parked it by the roadside.
