CHAPTER 315: CHAPTER 169: SHE WANTS TO LEAVE? WHAT A DELUSION! (1)

"I said I would handle my mother’s issue, you don’t need to worry about it."

"Then, how do you plan to resolve the matter of you and Alice having a child?"

"I thought I already explained to you, nothing happened between Alice and me!!" Howard’s voice became even hoarser due to his suppressed anger, he almost spat out the words through clenched teeth.

Hearing Howard say this, Rebecca Quentin’s tears slid from the corners of her eyes, and she bitterly spoke, "If nothing happened between you and her, then why were you discussing the child at the café, and why didn’t you refute her when she said the child was yours? She went to the hospital for an abortion, and as soon as you received her message, you rushed to the hospital. Doesn’t that reveal something?"

Facing her questioning, Howard wanted to vent his overflowing anger, but when she actually brought up these issues, his body froze slightly.

Rebecca Quentin thought Howard was stumped by her series of questions, and she choked out a laugh, "Why aren’t you answering me anymore?"

Howard stared into Rebecca Quentin’s eyes, which grew darker, yet he still did not respond.

Rebecca Quentin wiped the tears off her cheeks, took a deep breath to suppress the soreness in her throat, and slowly said, "Howard, you can’t bear for Alice to lose the child; this shows you do have feelings for her... I don’t know what kind of woman Alice really is, but her love for you is a fact. To complete us, she lied to Mrs. Geoffrey saying the child has nothing to do with you and even came to tell me to cherish my feelings for you. I don’t see people as clearly as you do; whether Alice’s actions are genuine or fake, I think you already know, I only want to say... Howard, if Alice truly is as kind and generous as she appears, you shouldn’t give up on her. Regardless of the child’s matter, you owe her an explanation; just because of her true feelings for you, you should give her a chance. As for us, perhaps we could become friends for Andrew..."

Late night.

Howard raised his hand to pinch his brow, impatience appearing on his handsome face.

Jason Wood stood in front of Howard, concerned, "Boss, you look a bit tired, are you okay?"

Howard always seems like an iron man, never easily showing fatigue in front of others, yet these two nights have been somewhat unusual.

"I’m fine..." Howard waved his hand, indicating that he was okay. "How’s the investigation I asked you to do?"

Jason Wood said solemnly, "Discovered it, that person is indeed who you guessed. I originally planned to report to you tomorrow... She holds leverage over Mr. Jones, so Mr. Jones has been controlled by her and has been against you all these years. However, Mr. Jones seems unaware of her identity..."

Howard frowned slightly, "Can’t you trace her whereabouts?"

"Pursuing it, very soon we’ll find out."

"I need to know her exact whereabouts within three days at the latest."

Facing Howard’s ultimatum, Jason Wood confidently stated, "I will definitely find her."

"Okay." Howard slowly closed his eyes.

Jason Wood intended to leave but seeing Howard closing his eyes to simulate sleep, Jason Wood couldn’t help furrowing his brow.

As the boss’s bodyguard and driver, he naturally had to serve the boss twenty-four hours a day, but tonight, just like last night, he could clearly sense the boss’s mood was off...

He had followed the boss for so many years and never felt the boss troubled like this, he certainly knew the reason, it must be Miss Quentin who annoyed the boss again, otherwise, the boss wouldn’t have stayed at the office tonight.

After hesitating for a while deep inside, Jason Wood finally mustered the courage to speak, "Boss, I’m not sure if I should say this..."

Howard slowly opened his eyes and said, "When did you start speaking so hesitantly?"

"Seeing you worried about Miss Quentin recently, I really can’t hold back... I want to say, boss, have you ever thought that Miss Quentin might not be suitable for you."

Howard’s eyes shot towards Jason Wood like sharp eagles, the tone somewhat displeased, "I don’t need you to remind me of this."

Jason Wood timidly said, "Boss, allow me to say, actually I feel Miss Robinson suits you much better than Miss Quentin."

Jason Wood’s words displeased Howard, he glared coldly and turned away without looking at Jason Wood.

Seeing that Howard didn’t stop him from speaking, Jason Wood continued, "I always felt you’ve been too cruel to Miss Robinson. If Miss Robinson ever finds out the man who was with her wasn’t you, she’ll definitely be very disappointed..."

"Leave!" Howard ordered coldly, preventing unimportant matters from entering his ears.

"Boss..."

Thinking about the many things Howard had been busy handling recently, and Rebecca Quentin not giving Howard any comfort, Jason Wood couldn’t help but say, "I don’t understand, you’re trying to deal with ’M’, if Miss Quentin knows, she definitely won’t agree, and after that, you two will inevitably be unable to continue because of ’M’. But if you don’t let Miss Quentin know about it, you won’t be able to clarify with Miss Quentin that nothing happened between you and Miss Robinson, and given Miss Quentin’s stubborn personality, she definitely won’t be with you, let alone trust you completely... Since both outcomes are that you and Miss Quentin can’t have a future, why do you still care so much about Miss Quentin?"

"Her current distrust is caused by my past." This is the part that hurts him the most, he can’t blame her, but also can’t explain to her...

"Boss, I have to say, don’t you think Miss Quentin has already changed? She’s no longer the innocent and kind person she used to be. From her staying this time, both Lisa and I thought Miss Quentin was determined to be with you, but who would have thought, Miss Quentin merely wanted to use the convenience of being around you to investigate her mother’s death. Although it was later proven that it was Miss Robinson deceiving Miss Quentin, indeed Miss Quentin’s intention in being with you wasn’t pure, therefore, I believe Miss Quentin is more calculating than Miss Robinson!"

Rebecca Quentin mindlessly stared at the New York cityscape outside the floor-to-ceiling window, her eyes dim.

Her mind was full of the scene confronting him last night...

He constantly declared he didn’t touch Alice, forcing her to question him, but why couldn’t he answer in the end?

She doesn’t know, she doesn’t want to discuss this issue with him because she doesn’t want to make the relationship irreparable...

Now finally the question with Alice has been brought to the forefront, what is left between them?

"Wah wah..."

The baby’s cry interrupted Rebecca Quentin’s thoughts, she got up and walked from the window to the crib.
