God knows, recently Marie has been asking her this question every day. She really doesn’t know how to answer, and Marie is driving her crazy with it. anwhile, Skyler Jones isn’t saying anything at all, just acting as if if she agrees, he agrees. This makes Marie think that she wants to "break up" their family... That’s why she ca to New York alone this ti without bringing Marie, just to have so peace and quiet for a while.
Rebecca Quentin smugly said, "See if you still make fun of !"
"Hahaha..." Isabella Joanna laughed heartily.
"Christine."
A loving voice sounded.
The three bathed in happiness stopped laughing and greeted the newcor, "Auntie."
Mrs. Geoffrey smiled kindly and nodded at Rebecca Quentin and Isabella Joanna, then said, "I want to talk to Christine alone."
"Sure."
Rebecca Quentin and Isabella Joanna stood up and left tacitly.
Once only Christine Quinn and Mrs. Geoffrey were left in the living room, Mrs. Geoffrey said wistfully, "Christine, actually, I wanted to have a private talk with you last ti in Y City, but at that ti Howard Geoffrey and Becca’s relationship was in a big ss, so I couldn’t pay attention to you. I hope you understand."
Christine Quinn smiled confusedly, "Auntie, what are you asking to understand?"
Mrs. Geoffrey guiltily said, "Forgive for never saying ’I’m sorry’ to you."
Christine Quinn was slightly taken aback. "Auntie..."
Mrs. Geoffrey let out a heavy sigh, "For many years, I thought you were with Howard. I once thought of making you my daughter-in-law and was very satisfied with your character. But later, when I found out Marie wasn’t his child, I believed the rumors. I thought Marie was really... So at that ti, I had a prejudice against you and was always harsh. Eventually, after Howard reunited with Oversky, I realized Marie was Oversky’s child, and your past ’undesirable’ experiences were all orchestrated by Oversky. Back then, I knew you were a good girl. I’ve always wanted to tell you on Oversky’s behalf, ’I’m sorry...’"
Christine Quinn shook her head and calmly said, "Auntie, I never blad him. Back then, I did things for him willingly."
"You’re so foolish... Oversky not cherishing you is his loss."
Christine Quinn pretended to smile lightly, "When you’re young, you always do so reckless things!"
"What are your plans for the future?"
"Uh, after Marie gets through this year’s post-surgery adjustnt period, I’ll go back to Alton. I’m familiar there, can find a job, and have a place to live... Of course, if Marie wants to co with , I will respect her choice."
Mrs. Geoffrey tightly held Christine Quinn’s hand, "I see Marie just like Andrew. I hope they can live with their biological mother in the future. That’s also why I’ve always wanted Howard to bring Becca back."
Christine Quinn leisurely smiled, "Auntie, you’re overthinking. As I see it, Skyler Jones probably won’t find a stepmother for Marie, but you might be worried he might end up alone."
Mrs. Geoffrey’s eyes opened slightly wide, "You... you an he still hasn’t let go of Becca?"
Christine Quinn smiled and lowered her head, "How could I guess his thoughts? But he’s always avoiding the fact that Becca is with Howard, isn’t it obvious?"
"So, you all ca to New York this ti, and he didn’t..." Mrs. Geoffrey suddenly realized.
Christine Quinn calmly added, "I think he might not co to Howard and Becca’s wedding either."
Mrs. Geoffrey was startled, and leaned back on the sofa.
Second floor.
On the master bedroom’s terrace, Rebecca Quentin nestled in Howard Geoffrey’s arms.
It was late sumr, a breeze blowing, just the right kind of comfortable feeling.
Howard Geoffrey held Rebecca Quentin, his voice slightly husky, "Your sister not trusting is understandable. After all, I’ve owed you so much and never gave you enough sense of security."
Rebecca Quentin looked up at Howard Geoffrey and honestly said, "I never felt that you owed . After all, the grudges of the previous generation are facts we’re born into and cannot change. We both lost reason over these grievances, but fortunately, we eventually abandoned the shackles of this enmity and ca together..."
Howard Geoffrey lifted Rebecca Quentin’s chin, gazed deeply into her clear eyes, and suddenly, a warm current flowed through his heart, raspingly said, "eting you is the biggest fortune of my life."
There were faint tears shining in Rebecca Quentin’s eyes, and in her heart, she felt the sa recognition as Howard Geoffrey.
