Rebecca Quentin’s eyelids were stimulated by the light, and she slowly opened her eyes.
Suddenly, she sat up abruptly, waking up, and turned her head to look beside her. Check latest chapters at ⓝovelFire.net
The space beside her was empty, and Andrew was also not in the crib.
Obviously, Howard Geoffrey had taken Andrew out...
No wonder she was able to sleep so late today; it turns out the child had woken up, and he didn’t wake her.
Wearing pajamas, Rebecca Quentin walked out of the room.
Just as she opened the door, she saw a warm scene in the living room...
Howard Geoffrey was walking around the room, while Andrew lay on his shoulder, sleeping soundly.
Rebecca Quentin glanced up at the clock on the wall; it was already almost ten o’clock.
It seemed Andrew had been playing for quite some time. She was surprised he could actually soothe Andrew to sleep.
Upon hearing the sound of the door opening, Howard Geoffrey looked over and gestured to Rebecca Quentin to be quiet.
Rebecca Quentin smiled slightly, then went into the washroom to freshen up.
After washing up, Rebecca Quentin was brushing her hair when she was suddenly embraced from behind.
There was no need to guess who it was.
"What are you doing? I’m brushing my hair."
Howard Geoffrey kissed Rebecca Quentin’s neck, and in a low voice, asked, "Are you tired?"
Thinking of last night’s events, Rebecca Quentin’s face blushed, "It’s all your fault..."
To be honest, her eyes were still sleepy now; last night was really exhausting as he seemed to have endless energy, each time when she thought it was almost over, he always found a way to continue.
As a result, her whole body was sore, without a bit of strength.
Howard Geoffrey kissed Rebecca Quentin’s charming face and laughed softly, "Yes, it’s my fault."
Rebecca Quentin followed with a laugh and suddenly asked, "Is Andrew asleep?"
Rebecca Quentin turned her face, looked at Howard Geoffrey’s handsome profile, and kissed him of her own accord, complimenting, "You’re amazing, to be able to coax our son to sleep."
"He’s my son, naturally, he’ll listen to me."
"Look at you being all smug, just getting Andrew to sleep this once. If you can always get him to sleep, that would be impressive."
"Our son still loves you the most, I wouldn’t dare take credit."
"That’s more like it!"
"You said, in a few years, I’ll let go of the company’s affairs, and be with you and the child every day, how about that?"
Howard Geoffrey’s husky voice softly reached Rebecca Quentin’s ears, causing her body to freeze slightly.
Feeling the reaction of the person in his arms, Howard Geoffrey asked gently, "What’s the matter?"
Rebecca Quentin shook her head, "’Skytop’ is your life’s work, how could you possibly let go of ’Skytop’?"
"To me, what matters most now is you and Andrew."
Rebecca Quentin gazed at Howard Geoffrey’s affectionate face, her heart unintentionally touched.
His words still easily stirred her hopeful thoughts for the future, yet such hopes always remained dreams...
No matter if his words were true or not, they were doomed to have no future...
Melancholy and sadness unwittingly appeared on her face, Rebecca Quentin gazed at Howard Geoffrey in a daze.
Noticing the change in Rebecca Quentin’s expression, Howard Geoffrey couldn’t help but ask, "What are you thinking?"
Upon hearing his voice, Rebecca Quentin snapped back to reality and returned to a natural expression, calmly saying, "I’m wondering whether your mother will ever accept me." She knew his perceptiveness, so she brought up a reason to explain her earlier melancholy expression.
Howard Geoffrey said softly, "You don’t need to worry, leave everything to me, all you need to do is to feel secure just being by my side."
Rebecca Quentin leaned close into Howard Geoffrey’s embrace, "Hmm."
The two silently snuggled for a moment, then Howard Geoffrey suddenly spoke, "It’s time to go to Y City."
Rebecca Quentin looked up from Howard Geoffrey’s embrace, and said seriously, "Howard Geoffrey, I don’t want to accompany you to Y City..."
"Hmm?" Howard Geoffrey half-closed his eyes, watching her, clearly waiting for her to give a reason.
Rebecca Quentin spoke slowly, "’Oversky’s’ celebration banquet will definitely be attended by many of ’Oversky’s’ executives, you know that these executives recognize me, in their eyes, I’ve always been Mr. Jones’ fiancée. If I appear there as your girlfriend, when everyone is pointing fingers at me, how do you think they’ll view Mr. Jones, and how about the relationship between you and me?"
"I don’t care how they’ll view me."
"You may not care, but I do... Howard Geoffrey, I don’t want to be thrust into the spotlight again, I just want to live a calm life."
