Howard Geoffrey remained silent, always quiet.
Alice Robinson gently bit her lip, sorrowfully saying, "I have long known that in your heart, there’s only Rebecca Quentin. No matter how much effort I put in, I can never replace her position in your mind... In any case, the outcome I have now has nothing to do with you, after all, we’ve already broken up..."
On the way back, the car was unbelievably silent.
Rebecca Quentin, although looking at the road ahead, kept glancing at Howard Geoffrey’s side profile.
There was not a trace of change in his expression; no one could guess what he was thinking at the moment.
Rebecca Quentin finally turned her face and softly spoke, "Howard, I am very happy..."
"Hmm." Howard responded faintly.
Rebecca Quentin’s face lit up with a gentle smile, "The matter between you and Alice is finally no longer a thorn in my heart."
At this moment, Howard reached out and held Rebecca Quentin’s hand.
Her cold hand was wrapped in his warm palm, Rebecca Quentin felt very warm.
After a while, Rebecca Quentin added, "What I worry about now is that Robinson and Alice have an uncle-niece relationship. If Robinson finds out about your breakup with Alice, then the Hope City project..."
Howard looked ahead, lightly said, "The Hope City project is not something I need to worry about; my brother will handle it well."
Rebecca Quentin nodded gently.
The atmosphere fell into silence again.
This time, Howard was the first to speak, "Becca, after the issue with Alice, there might be a way to ease things with my mom. In a while, I’ll tell her about our registration."
Rebecca Quentin had just replied when her phone rang in her bag.
She took the phone out of her bag, glanced at the screen, and pressed the answer button. Before she could speak, Christine Quinn’s voice came from the other end, "Becca, what is going on? Skyler Jones told me you and Howard are back together, is it true?"
Rebecca Quentin looked at Howard beside her, hesitated for a few seconds, and finally answered, "Yes."
Christine Quinn’s excited voice came flooding over, "Becca, why did you suddenly make such a decision, did you think it through? I’m not opposed to you being with Howard, but I truly never expected you’d make such a sudden decision. Hearing such news, I really don’t know whether to be happy for you or worried..."
After Christine Quinn finished speaking, Rebecca Quentin then earnestly replied, "Sis, don’t worry, every decision I make is well thought out, I know how to choose."
"If you have thought it through, I have nothing to say, I just wish you happiness."
Pressing the hang-up button, ending the call, Rebecca Quentin let out a long breath.
Howard gazed ahead, casually asked, "Your sister called?"
Rebecca Quentin nodded gently, "She didn’t expect us to reconcile, so she’s worried about me."
Howard took Rebecca Quentin’s hand again, wrapping her slightly cold hand in his warm palm, a magnetic voice escaped, "Becca, I won’t let you down again."
Rebecca Quentin looked at Howard deeply, smiling faintly. "Hmm."
Jason Wood saw Howard and Rebecca Quentin return, immediately going up to them.
Rebecca Quentin stepped into the room, glanced at the still soundly sleeping Andrew in the crib, and couldn’t help but express gratitude, "Jason, thank you."
Jason Wood smiled and said, "It’s my honor to take care of the young master."

Jason Wood then left the apartment.
Howard also entered the room at this time, his gaze resting on the rosy, innocent face of the sleeping child, asking, "How long does he usually sleep?"
Rebecca Quentin replied, "About two or three hours, he should be waking up soon."
Howard walked to Rebecca Quentin’s side, wrapped his arm around her shoulder, intimately asking, "We didn’t have lunch; are you hungry? How about we go out to eat?"
Rebecca Quentin shook her head, "No, Andrew is about to wake up, if he doesn’t see me when he wakes, he’ll definitely cause a fuss."
Howard kissed Rebecca Quentin on the cheek, thoughtfully said, "Then I’ll order food to be delivered home."
Rebecca Quentin nestled against Howard’s chest, "Okay."
The lunch was very sumptuous, and Rebecca Quentin had a good appetite. Since Andrew had not woken up yet, she indulged herself in the food.
Midway through eating, Rebecca Quentin noticed that Howard had been watching her, she couldn’t help but look up, asking awkwardly, "Uh, why aren’t you eating? Did I scare you with my eating style?"
Howard stared at Rebecca Quentin, his handsome face showing a gentle smile, "I just think you look cute while eating." She had good manners, so even while indulging, there was no rudeness or vulgarity.
Rebecca Quentin felt a bit embarrassed by Howard’s praise, quickly asking, "Why aren’t you eating?"
"You take your time, I’m going out for a smoke."
With that, Howard got up and left the dining room.
No one knew that after Howard left the dining room, the cheerful smile on Rebecca Quentin’s face gradually faded away, eventually replaced by a slight paleness.
No longer having the appetite she had before, she put down the utensils in her hand, quietly leaning back in her chair, her gaze dazed.
When Rebecca Quentin came out of the dining room, she happened to see Howard in a suit coming out of the room, so she asked, "Are you going back to the company?"
Howard walked up to Rebecca Quentin, circled his arms around her waist, "I originally wanted to stay home with you, but something urgent came up at work in the afternoon."
Rebecca Quentin raised her hand to straighten Howard’s tie, understandingly said, "Of course, work matters more, Andrew and I don’t need you to accompany us."
"In a couple of days, I’ll hire some help to ease the workload, so it won’t be so hard for you taking care of the child."
"Actually, I can manage on my own, there’s no need for extra help."
Howard looked at Rebecca Quentin with affection, spoiled her saying, "Okay, as long as you find it tough, if you say don’t hire help, then we won’t, I’ll do whatever you say."
Rebecca Quentin smiled contentedly, "Hmm, you should go to the company now!"
