CHAPTER 314: CHAPTER 169: SHE WANTS TO LEAVE? WHAT A DELUSION! (PART 1)

She always fantasized about a day when they would be like an ordinary family, where the man goes out to work while the woman looks after the house, managing the family together, but...

In reality, the problems lying between them were so numerous.

This couldn’t help but remind her of what Alice Robinson said to her today...

She really didn’t know whether to be joyful or sad...

She felt joy because Alice said Howard Geoffrey never put much thought into her, which was something comforting to hear, but the sadness came from the fact that even if he wasn’t interested in Alice, he still had the most intimate relationship between a man and a woman with her.

She admitted that she’d always been sheltered by her father since she was young, and before meeting Howard, she never knew what went on between men and women, so her personality had always been conservative and traditional. Even though she knew it wasn’t his intention to get involved with Alice, she still couldn’t accept the fact that he’d once been intimate with Alice.

Absent-mindedly finishing washing the dishes, Rebecca Quentin sat down by the crib,

she pondered for a long time without reaching a decision, feeling more and more conflicted... In the end, it was best to look at her son’s sleeping face, which made her realize something.

Now, for her, the most important thing was her child. She didn’t have the energy to think about other things, nor did she want to. Let things take their course. If a choice needs to be made, let it be soon, because she didn’t want to torment her heart and drag it out any longer...

Rebecca Quentin was so immersed in her thoughts that she didn’t realize Howard Geoffrey had already entered the room...

When Rebecca Quentin felt a sudden embrace around her waist, she snapped back to reality, instinctively turning her face to meet Howard Geoffrey’s gaze.

Howard Geoffrey looked at Rebecca Quentin’s face, which had turned slightly pale upon seeing him, and asked in a low voice, "What are you thinking about?"

Rebecca wanted to bring up the issue of him and Alice, but when the words reached her lips, she couldn’t speak them out.

It wasn’t that she was afraid to ask, but she was scared of his answer.

Just like the day she accompanied him to visit Alice in the hospital, she really didn’t want to go, as her heart was truly hurt. However, she hoped that she could hear some different truth at the hospital, even though she knew Alice was lying. She would rather pretend not to know and just deceive herself into thinking she knew nothing.

Now, it was the same...

She was really afraid that he would confess to her, and she didn’t know how to react. Should she care or pretend not to care? These two choices meant two different outcomes, and she didn’t want to make a choice now because she clearly knew what choice she would make...

Rebecca gently broke free from Howard Geoffrey, stood up, and said softly, "Not thinking about anything... I’m going to take a shower."

Just as Rebecca was about to leave, Howard Geoffrey forcefully pulled her back.

Before she could react, Howard Geoffrey had already pressed her onto the bed at lightning speed.

Her hands were pinned down and couldn’t move, and she was closely pressed by him without any gap. Rebecca held her breath nervously, her chest heaving violently, and looked at Howard Geoffrey warily.

Howard Geoffrey’s black eyes became even more mysterious and deep due to the night. He stared unblinkingly at Rebecca Quentin’s tense face, his voice hoarse with suppressed emotions, "Why are you not even willing to say a few more words to me?"

"It’s not that I’m unwilling, I just don’t know what to say to you."

"Don’t you have so many questions you want to ask me?"

"If I ask you, what will it change?" Rebecca’s tone was light, deliberately disguising her disappointment and sadness.

Howard Geoffrey suddenly let go of Rebecca, gritting his teeth as he said, "It seems you’re not planning to continue with me!!"

Rebecca got up from the bed, her eyes looking at Howard Geoffrey’s cold face, and said softly, "Can we still continue?"

Howard Geoffrey suddenly seized Rebecca’s weakened shoulders, "Why can’t we?"

Rebecca forcefully broke free from Howard Geoffrey’s grip, and said coldly, "You take whatever you want when you want it, and abandon it like trash when you don’t want it. Howard Geoffrey, if that’s your attitude towards relationships, I’m sorry, I can no longer accept it."

Howard Geoffrey shouted fiercely, "Damn it, can’t you see the changes I’ve made for you these days?"

Rebecca’s eyes quickly filled with grievance and turned red, "Yes, you’ve made changes, and I also know you might really want to be with me... But, Howard, have you considered that there are so many problems between us? Even if I’m with you, can your mother accept me?"
