Howard Geoffrey did not speak.
Rebecca Quentin mocked, "Is it because you can’t accept that I can’t have children in the future? No... You should know that compared to you ’pushing’ to Chester Robinson to manipulate him into performing surgery on , I would have preferred if you were by my side when I felt lonely and helpless. Even if my body couldn’t be healed in the end, at least I would still have you... You can never imagine, when I drag my broken body to find you, ti and again blaming myself and feeling guilty for not protecting our child, hoping you could give a bit of comfort, yearning for you to forget the past and start anew with . Yet, for your plan, you ruthlessly used Alice Robinson to push away... Do you know how much it hurt when you said over the phone that you never cared about ? I was sick for many days, and it was Chester who stayed by my side, looking after and comforting . And when I adjusted my mindset to coincidentally et you in Y City, because of your mother’s arrangents and feeling your concern for , I still thought that as long as you would say a word for to return to your side, I would willingly run into your arms without hesitation... But, what you gave was your affectionate gaze with Alice..."
At this point, bitterness choked Rebecca Quentin’s throat, and she couldn’t continue speaking due to her sobs, tears streaming down, blurring her gaze as she looked at him.
Her tears scorched his heart. He wanted to step forward, but saw the wariness in her eyes, her body faintly trembling due to the current emotional turmoil.
To avoid provoking her further, he could only stand still, gazing deeply at her.
She continuously shook her head, tears falling like a string of broken pearls, each one being evidence of her heartbreak.
He knew, what he feared had finally co...
He didn’t want to tell her the entire matter before now, not just because he cared that she might not be able to handle the blow from Chester and Vivian Lindsey, but mostly because he knew this might be the most important thing to her.
At this mont, his voice was hoarse with affection, not defending himself, he softly uttered, "Darling... your pain at that mont was mine as well."
Rebecca Quentin shook her head, a mocking smile on her face, "You feel pain? No, you don’t feel pain... In your world, there are only wins and losses, no feelings... As long as you can win, nothing in your eyes cannot be used as a stepping stone, not even my feelings..."
Howard Geoffrey’s gaze dimd at this second, "Why do you think that?"
"Because, in my eyes, you’ve always been this kind of person!!"
"Is it because of what Chester said to you that day that affected your judgnt of ?"
"Even if he didn’t say it, I knew what kind of person you are!"
"Damn it, I shouldn’t have let him see you!!" Howard Geoffrey said, his face darkening, and his gaze turned sharp instantly.
He thought that after experiencing so much, he no longer needed to constantly understand her thoughts because they were connected in heart and mind and trusted each other, never again being affected by other factors in their judgnt of each other, so he allowed her to et Chester.
"No, Howard, my judgnt has nothing to do with Chester. It’s from years of knowing you and understanding you... Tell , after all these years, has anything gone beyond your plans? I think not... You strategize and are good at winning from afar, so you’ve never lost in anything over the years. To win over Chester, you patiently planned and carefully designed, you were willing to sacrifice everything... I’m thinking, currently, you must have already co up with a plan to deal with Chester, right?"
Howard Geoffrey’s eyes grew darker and his face turned livid, anger suppressed in his low voice, "After all these years, is that your judgnt of ?"
"Am I wrong?" Rebecca Quentin, agitated with emotion at this mont, her chest heaved violently.
Howard Geoffrey laughed mockingly, his sharp gaze coldly scrutinizing Rebecca Quentin, his whole body restraining the impulse to strangle her.
Amid their stiff standoff, a childish voice interjected...
"Daddy, Mommy..."
Andrew, who had sohow abandoned his toys, ran up to them, looking at them with his innocent face, fear in his unworldly eyes.
Seeing the child, both of their cold expressions softened at the sa ti.
Andrew had never seen his parents argue before, so at this mont, he was like a startled child, frozen there.
Rebecca Quentin squatted down imdiately and picked up Andrew.
Howard Geoffrey, although silent, had already returned to his usual gentle deanor towards the child.
Rebecca Quentin held Andrew and walked out of the room without saying another word to Howard Geoffrey.
Howard Geoffrey watched Rebecca Quentin’s cold back leaving the room, venting his anger with a punch to the sofa beside him.
When Rebecca Quentin walked out of the room, she didn’t notice the group of people gathered outside the room; she just focused on leaving the second floor and imdiately walked down the stairs.
"This is really serious now," Roger Leonard said worriedly.
Isabella Joanna sighed directly, "How did it co to this?"
Indeed! How did it co to this?
The day after tomorrow is the wedding, these last two days should have been spent lovingly and happily prepared, thinking everything would go smoothly, but who knew things would develop to this state?
The couple both sighed.
Mrs. Geoffrey anxiously asked Nelson Lewis next to her, "What should we do now?"
Nelson Lewis gently reassured Mrs. Geoffrey, "Don’t worry, I’ll go in and talk to Howard."
Mrs. Geoffrey nodded.
From afar, watching Howard Geoffrey, standing somberly in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, Nelson Lewis smiled gently, "This is the first ti I’ve seen Rebecca this angry."
Howard Geoffrey’s dark eyes coldly stared forward, his handso face somber.
Nelson Lewis followed Howard Geoffrey’s gaze forward, maintaining a light smile on his lips, "I guess you’re not angry with Rebecca now, but you probably wish you could tear Chester to pieces."
Howard Geoffrey pressed his thin lips into a line, remaining silent.
Nelson Lewis chuckled as he watched Howard Geoffrey’s stern reflection in the glass, teasing, "The always so confident Mr. Geoffrey, can’t even handle one woman?"
Howard Geoffrey still remained silent.
Nelson Lewis said no more, instead letting out a soft sigh.
Howard Geoffrey finally spoke faintly, "Where is she?"
Nelson Lewis replied, "Don’t worry, I asked Christine Quinn to accompany her, and Jason Wood went with them."
Howard Geoffrey nodded slightly.
Nelson Lewis patted Howard Geoffrey’s shoulder, using a lighthearted tone to influence him, "Luckily, the day after tomorrow is your and Rebecca’s wedding day, so you have all of tomorrow to win her back."
