CHAPTER 369: CHAPTER 197: RECONCILIATION

Howard Geoffrey’s dark eyes slightly narrowed, looking at her mischievously, his thin lips indifferent, "Seeing Andrew is not my main purpose for coming here."

Howard Geoffrey’s words made Rebecca Quentin’s heart suddenly tremble.

As if suddenly realizing something, her face turned pale instantly, and she abruptly lowered her eyes.

Watching Rebecca Quentin’s reaction, Howard Geoffrey gazed deeply into her eyes, his voice lower and hoarser than before, "Why am I always the last one to know when we have a child?"

Rebecca Quentin said nothing, her hands tightly clutching her clothes, hiding her current helpless emotions beneath her lowered eyelids.

"Always hearing news like this from others, do you really have no trust in me at all?"

"I..."

Howard Geoffrey waited, his dark eyes, tinged with a certain heat, looking down at her, he had to control his turbulent emotions with great effort.

"Do I need to tell you?" Unwilling to show weakness in front of him, Rebecca Quentin forcefully swallowed the choke in her throat, coldly spat out.

Howard Geoffrey seemed to have been punched hard, his cheeks instantly turned ashen, "Damn, I am the child’s father, you have no right to hide it from me!!"

Yelled at by him, Rebecca Quentin’s eyes began to uncontrollably turn red, a flood of bitterness surged in her chest, she retorted aggrievedly, "Now you know, what do you plan to do? Get rid of the child, or keep the child? I’m waiting for you to tell me."

Seeing the sorrow hidden behind her pride, he said nothing for a long time before slowly speaking, "Are you sure you can handle my answer?"

Rebecca Quentin’s pupils instantly contracted.

The pain in her clear eyes gave rise to a hateful glow, she stared at him intently, as if trying to see him clearly, shaking her head repeatedly.

Tears had already welled up in her eyes, but she wasn’t so weak as to cry in front of him, she bit her lips tightly, saying nothing, her body slowly retreating.

He suddenly grabbed her, not allowing her to retreat.

She could no longer control herself, reaching out to push him away fiercely, "Get out, you’re no longer welcome here, go, go!!"

She couldn’t bear his answer, she wasn’t that strong... But, he had no right to laugh at her!!

Howard Geoffrey retreated two steps to avoid hurting Rebecca Quentin, but when he saw her preparing to walk away angrily, he suddenly pulled her back into his arms, looking at her intently like a wild leopard, "Don’t you want to hear my answer?"

"I don’t want to hear, I don’t want to hear..." Rebecca Quentin struggled fiercely, hoarsely escaping, "If you’re going to end it, just end it, no need to make a special trip to tell me, I’m not so lowly as to use the child to bind us..." As she spoke, tears finally burst uncontrollably from Rebecca Quentin’s eyes.

"What if I want to use the child to bind you?" Howard Geoffrey reached out and held Rebecca Quentin tightly to his chest, "I’ve always wondered how to give us an inseparable opportunity, but there never seemed to be a reason strong enough to overcome the obstacles between us until Christine Quinn told me you were pregnant..."

Rebecca Quentin was completely in a state of loss, she didn’t even clearly hear the meaning behind Howard Geoffrey’s words, she choked, "Yes, there are so many insurmountable obstacles between us, so what are you doing here, just to laugh at me?"

Rebecca Quentin struggled in various ways but couldn’t break free from Howard Geoffrey’s embrace, she turned her head in anger, refusing to look at his handsome face so close.

"Haven’t I been clear enough?" Fixing Rebecca Quentin’s neck with his hand, so their eyes met, Howard Geoffrey spoke with deep emotion.

"What do you want to say now?" Rebecca Quentin looked at him with hatred, "Is it over?"

"Becca..." Howard Geoffrey softly called. Is this Heaven’s punishment for me? Punishing my carelessness that almost lost her?

"I beg you not to show up in front of me again, just pretend you know nothing, I won’t ask you to be responsible..." Rebecca Quentin’s cheeks were wet with tears, helplessly mumbling a plea.

At this moment, an impatient Howard Geoffrey clenchingly snapped, "Rebecca Quentin, do you want me to say it louder before you understand my meaning?"

Rebecca Quentin’s face, held up by him, was forced to face his affectionate expression.

He looked at her with burning and urgent eyes, hoarsely uttering, "I thought letting fate take me away from you was giving you the best life, but I found out I was wrong, it turns out fate can be changed, because of this child’s existence, and because our lives are already tied together, so, Rebecca Quentin, this time, there will be no more hurt, no more hatred, no more schemes, I want to tell you, in the future, I will love you with all my heart, will you give us a chance to grow old together?"
