Contract Marriage: Abusive Love with Mr.CEO-Chapter 463 - 244: She Comes to See Him (Part 2)

Chester dialed again, but Alice’s phone was already unreachable.

Fuming, he pounded the table and leaned heavily against the back of the chair.

"Go find him..."

Mrs. Geoffrey’s words echoed repeatedly in Becca’s mind, keeping her in a state of distraction.

"Now, let Secretary Quentin discuss Mr. Josh’s background and the design style he wants..."

In the conference room, Manager Smith addressed all the employees.

All employees directed their gaze toward Becca.

Manager Smith waited for a while, not hearing Becca speak, then turned to look at her, softly saying, "Secretary Quentin..."

"Huh?" Becca returned to her senses.

Manager Smith said, "Please brief everyone..."

Noticing all her colleagues’ gazes on her, Becca felt embarrassed, "I’m sorry, Manager, what did you just say to me?"

Manager Smith gently repeated.

After the meeting, Becca followed Manager Smith into the manager’s office.

Although Manager Smith didn’t blame her, Becca immediately apologized for her behavior as soon as she entered the office.

Manager Smith, always kind, smiled, "It’s okay. You just recovered from an illness; it’s normal to not be in the best state."

Becca blamed herself, "Sorry, I’ve been making mistakes these past two days..."

Manager Smith warmly gestured for Becca to sit down opposite her, speaking softly, "I can see you have something on your mind."

Becca lowered her head, not denying it.

Manager Smith suddenly asked, "Is it a matter of the heart?"

Becca silently acknowledged.

Manager Smith chuckled softly, "Is it a misunderstanding with someone you like?"

Becca looked up at Manager Smith’s concerned gaze and slowly said, "It’s not exactly a misunderstanding, but regarding him and me..." She really didn’t know how to explain her relationship with Howard Geoffrey to someone else.

Manager Smith seemed to understand and smiled, "Since he’s so caring and gentle with you, what are you hesitating about?"

Becca was stunned, "You know?"

"Of course I know. Doctor Robinson is so considerate towards you; picking you up after your overtime, staying by your side when you’re sick... With such a man, what are you still hesitating about?"

It turned out the manager misunderstood her relationship with Chester...

Becca instantly felt mortified and awkwardly explained, "Manager, you’ve got it wrong. There’s nothing between me and Doctor Robinson, we’re just friends."

Manager Smith sat up straight in surprise, "You’re just friends with Doctor Robinson?"

"Yes... He is indeed very kind, and he has helped me a lot."

Manager Smith was incredulous, "But I just now asked you about matters of the heart..."

Becca slowly spoke, "It’s about my ex-husband and me."

Manager Smith paused, "With your ex-husband?"

Becca nodded gently, "Yes... I’m sorry, Manager, I shouldn’t let my personal issues affect my work."

"Well... it’s nothing, it’s just that I’ve never heard you mention matters with your ex-husband before."

"I very rarely have contact with him." Actually, there’s been no contact at all. It’s just that they’ve seen each other a few times recently, but with poor results.

"You told me you’ve been divorced for a long time. Since there’s no contact, what troubles could you have?"

"Manager, I’d like to ask you..."

"Hmm, go ahead."

Becca took a deep breath, mustered the courage, and revealed her truest thoughts, "If there’s a couple who are in love, and the woman broke up with the man due to a misunderstanding, while the man tried to save their relationship. However, the woman was adamant at the time... Much later, she realized she misunderstood the man and wants to explain the misunderstanding to him. But, she knows that even if she clears up the misunderstanding, it’s hard for them to be together again, and the man already has a new girlfriend... Do you think she should explain the misunderstanding to him?" 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

"It seems this man is your ex-husband."

Becca did not deny it and nodded.

Manager Smith pondered for a moment and responded, "Becca, first tell me, do you think he still cares about her?"

"I don’t know..." Becca lowered her eyes in disappointment, "I think he’s always been disappointed in me... Moreover, he gets along well with his girlfriend now."

"By what you said, it seems he’s already given up on your relationship..."

Becca’s nose tingled with a hint of sadness, "I guess so..."

"Now, is it that you want to be with him?"

Becca hurriedly said, "No, actually, we are no longer suitable to be together... It’s just that I want to clear up the misunderstanding with him."

"You want to clarify with him, but you’re afraid of disturbing his life now, so you’re conflicted?"

"Yes."

Manager Smith shook her head and smiled, "Becca, actually, why worry about disturbing his current life? Since he no longer cares about you, your explanation won’t significantly impact his life. But for you, it could provide peace of mind and leave no regrets... If this action could help you live better, why not allow yourself to live better?"

Becca was lost in thought for a long moment after Manager Smith’s words.

Yes, whether or not he cares about her explanation, at least she won’t have regrets in this lifetime, and regarding the matter of the child, she owes him an apology...

Becca finally decided to explain to him, but not now.

He’s currently on vacation in Fiji with Alice. She can’t reach him by phone, and certain things can’t be explained over the phone. Moreover, it’s impossible for her to fly to him, so she decided to wait until he returns to T City for work and then seek him out.

Thinking about it, only when he comes to T City will she have the chance to explain to him in person. But, when will he return from Fiji? And when will he come to T City next?

Another month passed in a flash.

While deeply engaged in busy work, Becca did not forget to keep an eye on Howard Geoffrey’s news. Sadly, during this period, Howard was nearly invisible to news reports, preventing Becca from knowing his whereabouts.

Becca also thought to let things happen naturally, as he would eventually return to T City, and she would have a chance to see him...

But who would have thought, today, for the first time in a long while when Becca saw news about him in the newspaper, she saw something completely unexpected—
