CHAPTER 118: CHAPTER 69: THEY’RE BEING WATCHED_2

"Ugh..."

Rebecca Quentin’s eyes widened, completely unable to make sense of the situation before her. Feeling his burning body, she kept slapping at him.

A few seconds later, Howard Geoffrey finally let her go, though his breathing was noticeably heavy.

Taking advantage of the moment, Rebecca Quentin pushed him away with force, trying to escape.

But who would have thought, just as Rebecca Quentin was about to jump off the bed, Howard Geoffrey suddenly pulled her back, heavily kissing her again amidst his labored breaths...

Desire was like an infinite abyss, breaking free from the shackles of reason, driving one mad...

Rebecca Quentin didn’t even know when she fell asleep; she only knew that when she woke up in a daze, it seemed nearly dawn. The white light of early morning shone through the floor-to-ceiling window, and in her muddled state, she saw his eyes blazing with lust, making her almost cry...

When Rebecca Quentin woke up again, the sun outside had already blazed intensely into the room.

The light made Rebecca Quentin slowly open her eyes.

The first thing she saw was the blue ceiling and floor...

Faced with this unfamiliar environment, Rebecca Quentin suddenly remembered that she was on an island. Within an instant, memories of the previous night strongly invaded her mind.

Rebecca Quentin’s face instantly turned pale, but while recalling the fragments of the whole night, a faint blush of red uncontrollably spread across her cheeks...

Heaven...

She was so ashamed she wanted to crawl into the blanket, yet suddenly felt weak, her body sore as if it was about to fall apart.

Clutching the duvet tightly, Rebecca Quentin instinctively glanced to her side. The other side of the large bed was empty, but there was still a faint trace of his scent lingering, and the indentation on the bed clearly showed he had just gotten up not long ago.

Sure enough, in that moment, the door to the bathroom opened, and Howard Geoffrey emerged fresh from it.

He was putting on a wristwatch, his white shirt paired with a neat black tie, entirely unlike the night before, yet still impeccably dressed.

Rebecca Quentin scoffed inside... but since she really didn’t have the strength to argue with him at the moment, and didn’t want to face him either, she closed her eyes, continuing to lie on her side, feigning sleep.

Suddenly, Howard Geoffrey walked over and sat down on the edge of the bed.

Rebecca Quentin felt Howard Geoffrey’s burning gaze on her face at that moment. She dared not make the slightest move, keeping her eyelids from trembling with effort.

Howard Geoffrey seemed to smile in satisfaction, then got up and left.

Rebecca Quentin naturally didn’t see the affectionate expression on his handsome face; only when she heard the sound of the door closing did she slowly open her eyes.

At this moment, through the door, she vaguely heard Howard Geoffrey conversing with a servant.

"Mr. Geoffrey, should I prepare lunch for Miss Quentin?"

He answered, "Let her sleep a little longer. When she wakes naturally, prepare it then and remember she prefers milder flavors."

"Yes."

Until she didn’t hear any more sounds, Rebecca Quentin closed her eyes again, snuggling tightly into the duvet.

Her heart was filled with a mix of emotions, but because she was really too tired, she gradually drifted back into sleep.

Nightfall.

After finishing dinner, Rebecca Quentin sat on the beach with her knees hugged to her chest.

In the distance, she could vaguely see the lighthouse at sea, but its flickering light was like her anxious heart at that moment...

She couldn’t imagine that things had gotten this bad...

She and Howard Geoffrey...

Really an entangled mess.

What should she do now?

That damned man, how could he do such a thing to her...

"Bastard!!"

Releasing her tightly bitten lips, Rebecca Quentin couldn’t help but curse out loud.

She really felt awful, especially after she woke up and heard from the servant that he had already left the island...

What did he take her for, an outlet for his desires just like four years ago? No, she wasn’t something he could take for granted... Heaven knows how much she wanted to slap him hard across the face at that moment.

Angrily writing the word "bastard" all over the sand on the ground, Rebecca Quentin only slightly alleviated her anger, but her heart still felt blocked and uncomfortable, furious that Howard Geoffrey actually just left the island like that.

Just then, Rebecca Quentin’s shoulder was suddenly embraced by someone, and before she could react, an evil voice sounded in her ear, "Who made you so angry that you wrote the word ’bastard’ all over the ground?"

Rebecca Quentin suddenly turned her head, her nose unintentionally brushing against Howard Geoffrey’s handsome face, her face immediately turned pale, and in a huff, she pushed him away and got up directly.

Howard Geoffrey swiftly followed Rebecca Quentin’s stride, suddenly embracing her from behind.

Filled with anger, Rebecca Quentin used all her strength to violently pry off his hands.

Underestimating Rebecca Quentin’s strength for a moment, Howard Geoffrey actually let her break free.

Rebecca Quentin continued to stride ahead, but due to her foot injury, she didn’t get far before Howard Geoffrey caught up with her again.

After catching Rebecca Quentin, Howard Geoffrey enveloped her in his arms from the front.

Her forehead suddenly hit Howard Geoffrey’s firm chest, making Rebecca Quentin cry out in pain, and in anger, she swung her fist at him.

Howard Geoffrey immediately caught her hand, his eyes intensely gazing at her, curling his lips with a mischievous smile, "Wasn’t last night enough? My whole body is covered in wounds."

Rebecca Quentin naturally understood what Howard Geoffrey meant, and immediately felt both ashamed and furious, so she forcefully stomped on Howard Geoffrey with her uninjured foot.

"Damn it!"

Howard Geoffrey cursed in pain, and Rebecca Quentin took the opportunity to run away.

But after only a few steps, she was again embraced from behind by Howard Geoffrey.

Rebecca Quentin struggled fiercely, but this time Howard Geoffrey didn’t give her a chance, firmly encircling her with his head rested on her shoulder, his gentle voice resonating in her ear, "Why so angry?"

"Let go!" After failing to break free, she unreservedly spat out.

Howard Geoffrey seemed to guess the reason for her anger at that moment and explained, "I had to leave the island for a temporary business matter, but I rushed back as soon as possible."

Rebecca Quentin pried at Howard Geoffrey’s arms around her waist, coldly responding, "You don’t need to explain to me, just let me go!"

Who would have thought Howard Geoffrey would shamelessly reply, "No way!"

"You..."

Before Rebecca Quentin could finish her sentence, Howard Geoffrey had already taken over her words teasingly, "Bastard, right?"

Rebecca Quentin angrily retorted, "Get lost!"

Howard Geoffrey then lifted Rebecca Quentin horizontally in his arms.

"Ah!"

Completely caught off guard, Rebecca Quentin twisted forcefully in his embrace.

Howard Geoffrey dipped his head to peck Rebecca Quentin’s lips lightly, his starry eyes twinkling, speaking in a low and raspy voice, "Let’s go back to the room and talk slowly."
