CHAPTER 389: CHAPTER 207: SHE FOUND OUT ABOUT "M" (PART 2)

Rebecca Quentin slowly lowered her curled, feather-like lashes and spoke with a hint of melancholy, "I just had a very long, long dream... I dreamed we went to register our marriage, everything went smoothly, it was so beautiful in the dream."

Howard Geoffrey’s lips curled into a slight, satisfied smile. "I thought I was the only one anxious, but it turns out you couldn’t wait to marry me in your dream."

Rebecca blushed at Howard’s teasing, lightly slapped him, and intentionally said, "If you keep talking like that, I won’t marry you."

Howard’s expression changed immediately. "No way."

Rebecca looked at Howard’s handsome face full of tension and smugly said, "Now it’s you asking me to marry you, how can I just casually agree?"

"How is it casual? Mom is already picking the exact date for our wedding, and I’ve shown you a lot of sincerity."

"Sincerity?" Rebecca frowned. "I haven’t seen any of your sincerity."

"Darling, I’m so distracted at work every day, eager to come back and see you. Doesn’t that show my sincerity?"

"Alright, that shows you miss me, but I still don’t see your sincerity!"

At that moment, Howard’s handsome face suddenly turned serious, and he said firmly, "Rebecca Quentin, I’m telling you, if you’re still thinking of backing out now, I advise you to forget it, because you have to marry me whether you want to or not; you won’t have another chance to escape from me!"

Rebecca murmured, "You’re really domineering..."

Howard bent down and forcefully kissed Rebecca’s lips, nibbling lightly as a form of punishment.

Rebecca felt a bit of pain and pushed him away repeatedly, "Hey... I’ll marry you, isn’t that enough?"

Only then did Howard release Rebecca with satisfaction, looking at her breathing heavily, and the air of dominance on his handsome face finally eased.

Not forgetting to peck her lips again to show affection, he hoarsely murmured, "Good girl..."

Rebecca suddenly realized that Howard too had moments of fear...

She was just joking with him, yet he was so nervous...

He always had a knack for seeing through people’s hearts, so he should have known her feelings for him, right?

But he was still that nervous, which probably meant he really cared about her!

Just a moment ago, she felt a little hollow inside when the beautiful scene turned out to be a dream, but now, feeling his tension and care, that sense of loss suddenly vanished, leaving her heart brimming full with happiness.

Rebecca suddenly wrapped her arms around Howard’s neck, gazing unwaveringly at the outstanding man she had persistently pursued for years, deeply saying, "Hubby, I hope only I can call you that in the future."

"Of course." Howard leaned down to kiss Rebecca again.

Rebecca cooperated with him...

Their tongues entwined and lips caressed, feelings of affection growing even stronger between them.

After a while, they slowly released each other.

After the kiss, Rebecca’s cheeks were flushed as if she had drunk wine, looking so alluring and charming.

A warm sensation rose again in Howard, but he didn’t allow himself to continue, softly saying, "Get up?"

Rebecca nodded, still clinging to his neck, and slowly sat up.

Only after sitting up and noticing her clothes slipping off her shoulder did Rebecca realize she was in her pajamas, with several conspicuous red marks on her shoulders.

Rebecca tightened her pajamas, freezing for a moment, "Uh, this..." She looked up at Howard, "Did you help me change into these pajamas?"

Howard smiled and beckoned Rebecca with his finger.

Rebecca approached him suspiciously.

Howard’s warm breath brushed against Rebecca’s ear as he whispered ambiguous words.

Upon hearing Howard’s explanation, Rebecca’s beautiful face blushed instantly, and she said, half-embarrassed, half-annoyed, "Howard, you...you...pervert!!"

Not knowing how to put it into words, Rebecca could only sum it up with those two words.

He actually took advantage of her sleep to...misbehave with her!!

The most important thing was, after their last passionate encounter, because of concern for the baby, she had repeatedly told him he had to wait until the baby was three months old, since it’s the most dangerous period now...

She thought he was very obedient, acting honestly these days, even when feeling impulses, just hugging her, kissing her, touching her, then using his strong self-control to hold back, but who knew this man would reveal his true colors after only a few days...

Now she finally understood why her dream full of beautiful scenes would end with that wild passion...

She was just embarrassed by her dream containing such improper thoughts, and was glad he didn’t ask for more details about it, never expecting it to be actually stirred by reality...

Rebecca’s face was flushed with shame as she fiercely glared at the handsome man who should have been satisfied yet still had a hint of heat in his eyes, speechless.

Howard kissed Rebecca’s pouting cheek, saying, "I was very careful, never let our baby protest."

Rebecca protested furiously, "You men just don’t keep your word!"

Howard chuckled, "That’s why you better not ask too much of me on this, because I might not manage it."

"You..." Rebecca stared at Howard forcefully. Not keeping his promises, and still wants her to lift the ban? Hmph, no way!!

"Alright, darling, if we keep dawdling, the Civil Affairs Bureau will be closing soon... Be good, change your clothes." Saying this, Howard got out of bed and started putting on his clothes.

At this moment, Rebecca could only sigh inwardly, she knew it, men’s kindness is fleeting, they’re all just lower-body-thinking animals.

Once dressed, Howard led Rebecca downstairs.

They happened to see Mrs. Geoffrey in the living room with Andrew, and Rebecca took Andrew from Mrs. Geoffrey’s arms, lovingly kissing him.

Mrs. Geoffrey asked kindly, "You haven’t been taking care of Andrew these days, isn’t it hard to get used to?"

Rebecca nodded lightly, her eyes fixed tenderly on Andrew’s innocent face, filled with maternal love.

Mrs. Geoffrey said, "You’re pregnant now, and taking care of a child could be risky, hang in there."

"Yes."

Howard took Andrew from Rebecca’s arms, showering him with fatherly kisses as well.

Mrs. Geoffrey’s face spread into a smile, "I used to imagine what my son would be like as a father, and now I understand. It turns out every father in the world is the same; even if he’s cold by nature, it doesn’t stop him from cherishing his child."
