CHAPTER 366: CHAPTER 195: HE’S ALREADY HERE (PART 1)

According to the time, he should have been here long ago, unless he...

But, maybe just as my sister said, he was delayed by something!

Coming back to her senses, Becca ordered herself not to think too much. However, when she was about to turn her head and start a conversation with Chester, her gaze suddenly fixed on a scene outside the window.

Despite the blurred curtain of rain, she saw him at once...

At the entrance of a five-star hotel across the street, a group of well-dressed people was coming out, and Howard Geoffrey was among them, with his subordinate Roye beside him.

Even in this gloomy rainy day, he stood out with his tall and handsome figure.

He must have been discussing business, as usual, wearing a suit and tie, with a faint smile on his face, talking with the people beside him.

The car swiftly went past this scene...

Becca was dazed for a few seconds; suddenly, her body lightly leaned back against the chair.

Returning home, Becca showed no signs of anything unusual.

Christine Quinn did not know that Chester sent Becca home, so she did not ask Becca anything. Noticing that Becca wasn’t wet from the rain, she felt relieved.

While Christine Quinn went to prepare dinner, Becca lay down on the bed alone.

Her thoughts were messy and chaotic, unable to figure anything out. She felt uneasy but comforted herself, thinking maybe he wanted to finish his work first before coming...

During dinner, sensing Becca’s mood was low, Christine Quinn dared not mention Howard Geoffrey in front of Becca. She silently decided to call him later that night to find out, but unexpectedly, Marilyn Quinn suddenly said during the meal, "Mommy, Auntie, why hasn’t Uncle Geoffrey come yet?"

Because of Marilyn Quinn’s words, the air around them seemed to freeze instantly, causing Christine Quinn to gasp and reprimand, "Marie, didn’t mommy teach you not to talk while eating?"

"Sis, it’s okay."

"Becca..."

"I’m fine." Becca actually reassured Christine Quinn, "Maybe he’s really busy with work!"

Christine Quinn was annoyed, "I will call and ask him tonight."

Becca immediately shook her head, "No need, if he is coming, he will definitely come by tomorrow."

"But..."

"Let’s talk about it tomorrow!" Becca said this, then lowered her head to continue eating.

Out of respect for Becca’s decision, Christine Quinn held back her anger without calling Howard Geoffrey, but the next day, when Christine Quinn saw the news on TV, she was almost exploding with rage.

It turns out the TV news reported that Howard Geoffrey came to T City for business negotiations, and he only stayed in T City for a day before leaving to return to New York...

Christine Quinn was very angry, completely unexpected that Howard Geoffrey came to T City but didn’t come to see Becca.

When Becca saw the news, she sat motionless on the sofa, lost in thought for a long time.

Christine Quinn could no longer hold back, regardless of Becca’s opinion, she immediately called Howard Geoffrey.

But probably because Howard Geoffrey was on the plane back to New York, his phone couldn’t be reached...

Christine Quinn kept calling and calling until finally in the evening, she got through to Howard Geoffrey’s phone...

Becca was holding Andrew playing on the bed at the time, and she heard Christine Quinn’s voice booming with anger in the hall—

"Howard Geoffrey, you’re too much, aren’t you? You come to T City and don’t see Becca, what do you mean? Are you not planning to be with Becca, is that it? Let me tell you, if you bully Becca like this, I won’t let you get away with it?"

Howard Geoffrey said something on the phone, and Christine Quinn’s anger grew even bigger, her cursing filling the whole suite, "Howard Geoffrey, I regret helping you, you bridge-burning bastard, you jerk!! You don’t want to reconcile with Becca, is that it, fine, but you should at least take responsibility for the child she’s carrying, right?"

Feeling heartbroken, folks? The next Chapter will let the male and female leads meet!

"Bastard!!"

Before ending the call, Christine Quinn didn’t forget to curse once more.

Becca slowly got up and looked steadily at Christine Quinn.

Feeling the intense gaze on her back, Christine Quinn turned around, looking at Becca whose face had turned pale, momentarily at a loss, her mouth slightly open, not knowing what to say.

Becca took a step, slowly walking toward Christine Quinn. Although her eyes were already showing a dim and gloomy light, her expression was calm, "Sis, what did he say to you on the phone?"

"He said... uh..." Christine Quinn suddenly hesitated.

Sensing Christine Quinn’s concern, Becca remained calm, "Tell me, I’m okay!"

"Becca..." Worry filled Christine Quinn’s eyes, hesitant.

"Sis, if there’s something to face, we’ll have to face it eventually. Don’t worry, I can handle it." Becca offered Christine Quinn a resilient look.

In this moment, Christine Quinn gently held Becca’s shoulders, softly saying in resignation, "Becca, Howard Geoffrey said on the phone... said... said he would repay me for helping him, but regarding you and him, he said it’s over..."

It’s over?

These three words weighed heavily on Becca’s heart like lead.

All at once, sourness, pain, discomfort... all the emotions turned into ants gnawing at her heart.

Her eyes were already stinging intensely, yet she kept them wide open, not allowing tears to gather in them.

Suddenly, Becca laughed, "Sis, actually, I saw him yesterday..."

"Ah?"

Christine Quinn widened her eyes in surprise.

Becca’s brows and eyes still showed a carefree smile like nothing was wrong, "He was at the hotel discussing business... I think he only came to T City for business!"

"Becca..."

Although Becca seemed emotionally unshaken, Christine Quinn could deeply feel the suppression Becca was enduring at this moment.

In this moment, Becca took a deep breath, the smile on her face finally revealing a trace of sadness, softly saying, "Actually, it’s fine that he didn’t come, we weren’t really suited for each other anyway." Saying this, Becca couldn’t bear the pain in her heart, lowering her gaze.

"No, I can’t let Howard Geoffrey bully you like this, I’ll go to New York right now, I must get to the bottom of this!!" Heartbroken for Becca, Christine Quinn couldn’t maintain composure any longer, turning to leave.

Becca quickly grabbed Christine Quinn’s hand, "Sis, don’t..."
