CHAPTER 304: CHAPTER 164: BABY, WAIT FOR ME TO COME BACK 3

"Yeah, that day I called to tell you about ’Oversky’ securing the Hope City project."

"Sorry, my phone broke these past two days, sometimes it just can’t connect. I’m planning to get a new one soon!"

"Oh..."

"By the way, Becca, ’Oversky’ is having a celebration banquet, are you and Howard Geoffrey coming together?"

"I’m not going, he just went to the airport."

"Why aren’t you coming?" Christine Quinn longed to meet Rebecca Quentin, to have a heart-to-heart sister talk.

"Many reasons, sis, I can’t explain to you right now. Mainly, my previous relationship with Mr. Jones would make things awkward, and I don’t want to run into old Mrs. Geoffrey at the banquet, you know she doesn’t like seeing me."

Christine Quinn sighed deeply, "Actually, the old lady is quite nice, she just doesn’t like you and me..."

"By the way, sis, how are things going between you and Mr. Jones?"

"How am I and him developing?" Christine scoffed with disdain, "There’s never been any so-called development between us. Sure, I live in his villa now, but we barely see each other. Even if we do, it’s just to discuss Marie, no emotions can be spoken of."

"Sis, actually Jason Wood he..." "Alright, Becca, don’t say anymore, no one knows Skyler Jones better than I do. It’s probably best you don’t come to Y City, to avoid running into him. If he pesters you, I’d have to worry on your behalf."

Never did it cross her mind that Christine Quinn’s hatred for Skyler Jones was so deeply rooted, Rebecca Quentin decided not to say more. She always believed that relationship matters were between two people; no matter how many good things she said about Skyler Jones, if Christine Quinn’s view of him didn’t change, it would all be futile.

Rebecca Quentin then changed the subject, "Sis, I want to ask you a question."

"Okay, go ahead."

"I want to ask, before you met Howard Geoffrey, did you know he had a girlfriend?"

Christine Quinn asked sensitively, "Why are you suddenly asking me this question?"

"No, I’m just curious."

"No, I just feel there’s something odd about you reconciling with Howard Geoffrey this time. You previously said no matter what, you wouldn’t reconcile with him, and now you suddenly changed, I’m a little worried..."

"Sis, you know, relationships are complicated... In any case, I won’t let myself suffer."

"I know you’re smart, but the person you’re with now is Howard Geoffrey... Becca, you have to know, after so many years of being with Howard, I never realized he already knew I was on Skyler Jones’s side. His ability to keep things hidden shows how deep his scheming runs. I’m really afraid you’ll suffer with him, but if he truly cares about you, I believe his affection for you is unmatched by any man in this world."

"Ha..." His affection? Such a distant future, she dared not think about it.

"The question you just asked me, I can answer it now... Before I met Howard Geoffrey, I only knew there were many women around him. As for whether he had an ex-girlfriend, I’ve never heard of one."

"Hmm."

"Becca, you’re in New York alone, remember to be cautious in everything and take good care of yourself."

"I know."

"I won’t say more, I’m sleepy, I’m going to bed."

"Okay, bye-bye."

Ending the call with Christine Quinn, Rebecca Quentin sat on the edge of the bed, lost in her own thoughts.

Maybe it was because she had been sleeping with Howard Geoffrey these past few days, she had gotten used to cozying in his arms for warmth. So, this night, even with the heater on in the room, she felt her body was cold all night.

A sleepless night, Rebecca Quentin woke up at the crack of dawn.

Shortly after she got up, Andrew also awoke.

Spending time with the child, changing him into clean clothes, coaxing him to sleep, preparing lunch for herself—in just a blink of an eye, the morning passed by like that.

In the afternoon, while Andrew napped, Rebecca Quentin sat idly on the living room sofa, flipping through a magazine.

Suddenly, her phone received a text message.

Rebecca Quentin glanced at her phone—

I’m at the cafe now, do you have time to come see me?

Just as Rebecca Quentin was hesitating over this text, the doorbell rang.

Rebecca Quentin then deleted the text and got up to open the door.

Opening the door, she saw Jason Wood and Secretary Cecily standing there, and she smiled slightly.

Lisa Cecily maintained Secretary Cecily’s formal demeanor, respectfully saying, "Miss Quentin, Jason Wood and I came to see if there’s anything you need or any instructions you have."
