CHAPTER 370: CHAPTER 197: MAKING UP (PART 2)

Rebecca Quentin stared blankly at Howard Geoffrey’s deeply affectionate dark eyes, speechless. Did she hear him wrong? Why were his words so completely different from what she had imagined?

Did he... did he just say grow old together?

Unable to hold back the sting in her nose, hot tears welled up in Rebecca Quentin’s eyes again as she pounded Howard Geoffrey’s chest in grievance, tears streaming down uncontrollably, "I won’t believe you anymore, I won’t... You never truly kept me in your heart, I’ve already convinced myself not to be entangled with you anymore..."

Howard Geoffrey smiled, allowing Rebecca Quentin to vent on his chest.

"You think you can just say you’re not entangled and that’s it? With two kids, you can’t escape anywhere."

"You..."

As Rebecca Quentin choked on words, Howard Geoffrey, without a word, pulled her into his arms, holding her tightly.

Rebecca Quentin was forced to lean against his embrace, still resisting, "Let go of me, let go..."

Howard Geoffrey gently kissed Rebecca Quentin’s tear-stained eyes, hoarsely murmuring, "Becca, I want you, this whole life I will never betray these words!!"

Rebecca Quentin’s eyes widened in disbelief as large tears slid down, her sorrowful gaze tugging at all of Howard Geoffrey’s reluctance.

Rebecca Quentin shook her head blankly, "No, I don’t..."

At that moment, Howard Geoffrey lowered his head, swallowing all of Rebecca Quentin’s resistance.

"Mm..." Rebecca Quentin was immobilized, her hands weakly patting at his back.

Due to her pregnancy with their child, he dared not hug her too tightly, yet such an embrace was far from enough to compensate for his longing and yearning for her over the past days...

Suddenly, he lifted her up, laying her gently on the bed...

Half an hour later.

The clothes were scattered messily across the floor.

Upon the bed, a naked muscular man’s arm wrapped around a delicate silhouette, the lingering romantic atmosphere still unscattered.

His hand slowly traced her smooth, silk-like back, gently kissing Rebecca Quentin, who lay exhausted, her forehead beaded with fine sweat. With a low murmur, he apologized, "Sorry..." He had been too eager, not providing her with enough tenderness, having to rush due to fear of hurting their child.

Rebecca Quentin lifted her fist, hitting his solid chest, both embarrassed and angry, "You’re too much..."

Howard Geoffrey turned over, pinning Rebecca Quentin’s defiant hands to the bed, hovering lightly over her body, his gaze intense on her delicate face, "Now you see how much I miss you?"

His body’s longing was so strong...

If not for suppressing it earlier, she wouldn’t be waking up on this bed today.

Rebecca Quentin turned her flushed face to the side, "I don’t want to hear you talk..."

Howard Geoffrey lowered his head, kissing her face until she couldn’t withstand it, turning back to face him, angrily exclaiming, "I’m going to sue you!"

Amused by her angry words, he leisurely looked at her, smirking as he asked, "Sue me for what?"

"Sue you for force..."

Rebecca Quentin’s words weren’t finished before Howard Geoffrey silenced her with another fiery kiss.

Rebecca Quentin was rendered breathless again...

When Howard Geoffrey finally released her, she gasped for air again, "You... you..." Her chest heaving with anger, unable to even utter a complete sentence.

Howard Geoffrey’s lips carried a faint smile as he looked wickedly at her, "Would you really sue me?"

Rebecca Quentin struggled to break free from his grasp but couldn’t move at all, finally bursting out with curses, "Rogue!!"

"I’m only a rogue to you..."

"Shameless!!"

Howard Geoffrey’s smile deepened, "Where am I shameless?"

Where?

Her rebukes turned to teasing, Rebecca Quentin’s face blushed to her ears, "I don’t feel like talking to you... Get down!!"

"No, I want to hear my daughter’s voice."

"What do you mean your daughter?" Rebecca Quentin was utterly confused.

At that moment, Howard Geoffrey lowered his head, pressing his face to her stomach, his ear listening intently.

Rebecca Quentin’s breath caught, her stomach involuntarily tensed, she forcefully pushed his head away, "Go away..."

Howard Geoffrey raised his index finger, "Shh, our daughter is talking to me."

Rebecca Quentin’s body froze.

Howard Geoffrey pressed his ear tightly to her belly.

Rebecca Quentin suddenly fell silent, the room turning tranquil.

Suddenly, Howard Geoffrey whispered softly, "I hear her, I hear our daughter blaming me..."

"Nonsense."

"She’s blaming me on your behalf, saying I didn’t stay with her mommy and big brother, almost giving up on her too..."

Hearing Howard Geoffrey say this, Rebecca Quentin’s nose suddenly stung, "She wouldn’t blame you because for such an unqualified daddy, she wouldn’t want one anyway."

"What?" Howard Geoffrey suddenly lifted his gaze from Rebecca Quentin’s belly, his dark eyes half-narrowed, glancing at Rebecca Quentin, "Is that really how you see me?"

Rebecca Quentin turned her head aside, "Hmph."

Seeing her angry expression, Howard Geoffrey turned her to face him again, straightening her petulant expression, he smiled gently, "Starting to talk bad about me in front of our kids already, how can I establish authority in front of them in the future?"

Rebecca Quentin puffed her cheeks angrily, "Who said there’d be a future for us?"

Howard Geoffrey suddenly let a faint smile slip from his handsome face, seriously saying, "I’m talking about my future with the kids, didn’t mention our future..."

Rebecca Quentin’s face turned red with embarrassment from Howard Geoffrey’s words, "You..."

Howard Geoffrey suddenly burst into laughter.

"You low-down, shameless, vile creature..." Rebecca Quentin flared up, trying to push Howard Geoffrey off the bed.

Howard Geoffrey forcefully moved her hands away and swiftly silenced Rebecca Quentin’s jabbering mouth with a kiss, murmuring, "I can’t afford to upset you, so I won’t tease, alright?"

"Bastard." Rebecca Quentin still didn’t forget to curse.

Howard Geoffrey lifted his head, looking at her lips which had turned swollen and moist from his kisses, smiling as he advised, "Becca, keep your voice down, Andrew is still sleeping. If he wakes up, we’d have to soothe him right now."

Mentioning Andrew, Rebecca Quentin suddenly remembered there was a third person in the room...

Though Andrew was still little, she had just behaved like this in front of their child...

Oh dear...

Rebecca Quentin pointed her finger at his chest, "Howard Geoffrey, you... you’re too much!!"

Howard Geoffrey watched Rebecca Quentin’s embarrassingly flushed face, instantly understanding what she was upset about, and thus kissed her cheek, using a tone filled with love, "At that moment, who could care for such matters? Don’t worry, he’s asleep, can’t hear anything." The noises from their earlier argument hadn’t disturbed Andrew, and besides, he had held back his needs today.
