"You promised you’d return Andrew to me... It’s been four or five days, when will you fulfill it? Or is everything you said untrustworthy?"
"If nothing goes wrong, Andrew can be back by your side today."
Upon hearing Howard Geoffrey’s words, Rebecca Quentin’s eyes widened in joyful disbelief, "Is what you say true?"
Thinking about Rebecca Quentin’s ecstatic expression at the moment, Howard Geoffrey couldn’t help but curl his lips in delight, "I’ve accepted your bribery, naturally I have to do this for you."
Bribery? When did she bribe him?
Just then, his previous words about wanting her to "give herself" suddenly flashed in her mind...
Oh heavens, that wasn’t her "bribery," it was outright... outright forced...
Remembering his despicable behavior that day, Rebecca Quentin felt both ashamed and annoyed, "I can’t be bothered talking to you!!"
"Then see you in New York, sweetheart, I miss you!"
Rebecca Quentin immediately pressed the hang-up button, her face even redder, wishing she could make a doll-like him right now and use darts to aim at it.
Even though talking to him is like dealing with him bullying her, she felt today wasn’t a wasted call.
He said Andrew could be back with her today, is it really true?
Considering how angry old Mrs. Geoffrey was, how could she suddenly allow Andrew to return to her side?
But, apart from disappointing her emotionally, when handling matters, Howard Geoffrey really never let her down, accomplishing what others deemed impossible...
For the entire day, Rebecca Quentin waited nervously for the possible surprise, and indeed, in the afternoon, Rebecca Quentin received a call. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by novel·fire.net
The call was from Mrs. Geoffrey herself, and seeing Mrs. Geoffrey’s number on the screen made Rebecca Quentin’s heart race.
She nervously pressed the answer button, "Hello..."
Mrs. Geoffrey’s indifferent voice came through, "Rebecca Quentin, you said that once I return Andrew to you, you would take Andrew and stay away from my two sons, correct?"
Rebecca Quentin felt quite puzzled; Mrs. Geoffrey had always asked her only to leave Howard Geoffrey, why bring up Mr. Jones now?
However, regardless of Mrs. Geoffrey’s sudden mention, her answer remained unchanged, "Yes, I’ll stay far away from them."
"Good, I’m trusting you for the last time to be a person of your word, don’t break your promise."
Despite a slight hesitation deep down, Rebecca Quentin didn’t allow it to grow, she resolutely stated, "I will."
Mrs. Geoffrey, perhaps resigned or perhaps relieved at last, sighed heavily, "You can come to pick up Andrew, he’s now downstairs at Howard Geoffrey’s apartment."
Upon hearing Mrs. Geoffrey’s words, Rebecca Quentin dashed out of the apartment like an arrow.
Outside the apartment, by the roadside, a black car was parked.
From a distance, Rebecca Quentin saw Mrs. Geoffrey sitting in the car, seemingly holding a bundle in her arms.
Tears of longing for her child instantly slipped from Rebecca Quentin’s eyes as she ran over.
Mrs. Geoffrey seemed to see her too, holding Andrew, she immediately got out of the car.
As Rebecca Quentin saw Andrew sleeping soundly in Mrs. Geoffrey’s arms, she began to cry uncontrollably, choking up.
Mrs. Geoffrey was not one to be heartless; seeing Rebecca Quentin yearning for her child, a tinge of guilt rose in her heart, she softly said, "Perhaps he’s gotten used to you taking care of him, he’s cried often without reason these past two days, even on the way here he was crying, maybe he’s tired and fell asleep."
Mrs. Geoffrey’s words made Rebecca Quentin’s tears fall even harder...
Mrs. Geoffrey, voice hoarse, said, "Take him," though not seeing Rebecca Quentin as a daughter-in-law, she really liked Andrew, very fond of Andrew, a bit unwilling to return the child to Rebecca Quentin.
Rebecca Quentin carefully took Andrew from Mrs. Geoffrey’s arms, tears fell like raindrops, she kept kissing Andrew’s tender little face with her tear-streaked lips.
Rebecca Quentin just lulled Andrew to sleep.
At this moment, she sat quietly on the edge of the bed, gazing at Andrew’s sweetly sleeping adorable face, her eyes filled with the radiance of maternal love.
He really followed through...
Though she had never doubted his abilities, when he actually managed to have Mrs. Geoffrey return Andrew to her, her heart, beyond surprise, was stirred with waves of excitement.
