Contract Marriage: Abusive Love with Mr.CEO-Chapter 435 - 230: The Little Devil Clings to Daddy_2

Chapter 435: Chapter 230: The Little Devil Clings to Daddy_2

This whole thing has become even more mysterious...

She hopes Chester can find out.

Rebecca Quentin decided not to think about this issue anymore. She lay down and closed her eyes, ready to sleep.

However...

"Yuan’s one-year-old birthday party will be held in early next month. I hope you don’t come under any pretext to see Yuan because I don’t want to see you anymore."

Howard Geoffrey’s words suddenly rushed into her mind, making her eyes snap open.

Dazed for a few seconds, she sat up.

Pulling off the blanket, she got out of bed.

She walked to the suitcase from her business trip and took out a delicately wrapped box...

Sitting on the edge of the bed, she opened the box.

Yes, it was that crystal globe...

She pulled out the piece of paper again, seeing the black ink still vividly clear.

She didn’t want to deny it: seven years of emotions cannot be forgotten in just half a year. That’s why she kept this crystal globe with her.

Meeting him unexpectedly, seeing his indifferent attitude at the party felt like this was how their lives would be. But she didn’t expect what happened last night.

He is such a clever person; surely he knew whether something unusual happened last night and understood her nature?

So, him coming to find her was merely to insult her...

After a long time, Rebecca Quentin put the crystal globe back into the box and tucked it into the hotel nightstand drawer.

Looking at the closed drawer, she felt relieved and smiled lightly.

She lay back down on the bed, and this time, she peacefully fell asleep.

At night, Chester Robinson and Rebecca Quentin stood in the hotel lobby.

The front desk staff were handling their checkout.

Both Chester Robinson and Rebecca Quentin waited patiently.

At this moment, a receptionist on the phone with the cleaning staff suddenly turned to Rebecca Quentin and said, "Miss, the cleaning lady said you left something in the bedside drawer. She has sent someone to retrieve it, please wait."

Rebecca Quentin responded with a smile, "Oh, I don’t need to wait for that. I don’t want it."

Chester Robinson asked, "What is it? You better check it thoroughly so you don’t actually leave something behind."

Rebecca Quentin smiled and shook her head, "Anything left behind must be unimportant."

"Alright."

The receptionist promptly handed the documents to Chester Robinson, saying respectfully, "Okay... the room has been checked out. Have a good trip, we look forward to your next visit."

Walking towards the hotel door, Rebecca Quentin smiled at Chester Robinson beside her and said, "Everyone says Paris is the city of romance, but we didn’t have any time to explore this trip..."

Chester Robinson pulled Rebecca Quentin’s suitcase, smiled and nodded, "Then let’s come again next time, I’ll be your guide."

"Sounds great..."

The two talked and laughed as they walked out of the hotel together.

After returning to T City, Rebecca Quentin’s life returned to a busy and tense state.

She became more and more familiar with interior design and decoration, and her work at "QCS" was getting smoother. Lately, she started learning design from designers.

Although design is difficult to learn, she was very interested, and many designers complimented her on her talent for design.

This greatly boosted her confidence, and she stayed late at the company for several nights working on design plans while accompanying colleagues working overtime.

"Ugh, my shoulders are about to break... Secretary Quentin, I’ve finished designing. Please take it to Manager Smith for review tomorrow!"

A tired female colleague leaned against her chair, patting her sore shoulder.

Rebecca Quentin focused on her drawings and nodded, "Okay."

The colleague began tidying her desk, "I’m heading home now, want to come along?"

Rebecca Quentin kept her head down, "No, I’ll go home after finishing this design."

"Alright then, make sure to go home early and rest. It’s already exhausting working during the day, yet you still tire yourself out at night..."

Rebecca Quentin smiled and replied, "I just want to quickly learn design!"

"Okay, I’m off now..."

"Mm, bye-bye."

She didn’t know how long had passed, but finally, Rebecca Quentin completed the design draft and tiredly put down the ruler and pen in her hand.

Looking at the draft she had created, Rebecca was very satisfied and smiled.

After completing the draft, Rebecca Quentin looked around and realized all her colleagues who worked overtime had left.

She glanced at the time and was shocked.

Heavens, it was almost eleven o’clock...

She hurriedly started packing her things, annoyed that she muttered, "Gee, I can’t catch a taxi now, how will I get home..."

Desperately pressing the elevator button, and as soon she heard the "ding" of the elevator opening, Rebecca Quentin dashed inside.

Not expecting anyone would be so late, Rebecca Quentin unexpectedly bumped into someone in the elevator.

Bang—

Rebecca Quentin rubbed her forehead that had bumped into the chest of someone, lifting her gaze to apologize, she found the shirt very familiar...

Indeed, a familiar male voice spoke, "Staying alone in the company this late, aren’t you worried about encountering bad people?"

Rebecca Quentin excitedly exclaimed, "Doctor Robinson!!"

Chester Robinson smiled, "I just got back from the hospital, passed your company building, saw the lights still on on your floor, knew it must be that you hadn’t left, so I came to pick you up."

"Doctor Robinson, you are really amazing, I genuinely feel that you always appear right when I need it!"

That statement wasn’t exaggerated at all.

Chester Robinson closed the elevator door softly, "Let’s go home... Don’t stay late at the company next time. Although T City has good security, it’s still risky, and you’ll hardly catch a cab either."

Rebecca Quentin sheepishly said, "I know, tonight I just lost track of time!"

Sitting in Chester Robinson’s car, Rebecca Quentin was already tired and rested against the seat.

Chester Robinson glanced at Rebecca Quentin through the rearview mirror, gently admonishing, "Next time, don’t let yourself get so worn out. Your health isn’t that great. Even for work’s sake, don’t ignore your body..."

Rebecca Quentin nodded slightly, "I just want to learn a skill so I can support myself in the future, I can’t be a secretary all my life."

Chester Robinson disagreed, "Support yourself in the future? Haven’t you thought about a partner?"

Rebecca Quentin murmured, "A partner, huh, I haven’t actually thought about that yet...I feel pretty good being single, busy with work, it’s fulfilling."

"Or maybe you haven’t moved on from the past."

Chester Robinson suddenly brought up such a topic.
