Chapter 469: Chapter 247: I’ve Already Fallen Into Your Hands and Can’t Turn Back (Part 2)

Rebecca Quentin furrowed her brows, "What other reason?"

"You’ll know once I’ve dealt with it. It’s not suitable to tell you right now."

"Is it true that you took her to Fiji for a month-long vacation?"

Howard Geoffrey grinned, "I thought you didn’t mind."

Rebecca Quentin’s beautiful face instantly showed grievance, "How could I not care? I could only desperately force myself not to care..."

Howard Geoffrey was as delighted as if he were in heaven, "I did go to Fiji with her, but it wasn’t for a vacation. I had things to deal with."

Rebecca Quentin jealously retorted, "And you say it wasn’t a vacation? There were photos in the news..."

Howard Geoffrey kissed her on the forehead, "That was just to deliberately annoy you."

Rebecca Quentin gently pounded Howard Geoffrey’s chest, "Overdoing it..."

Howard Geoffrey laughed heartily, allowing Rebecca Quentin to vent her small anger.

"So what are you planning to do about Alice Robinson now?"

"I’ve never taken her seriously."

"But you..."

"Babe, the one minute’s up."

Rebecca Quentin blushed up to her ears but rationally said, "No... I still have something to tell you."

Howard Geoffrey impatiently said, "You better say it all at once this time."

"I..."

"Hmm?"

Rebecca Quentin’s eyes turned desolate at this moment. She reached out and tightly embraced his neck, "I don’t want to deceive you, Howard... I may not be able to get pregnant in the future."

Howard Geoffrey’s handsome face still held a gentle smile, but his voice carried a hint of severity, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Already feeling Howard Geoffrey’s concern from his voice, Rebecca Quentin’s face turned even darker, but she didn’t allow herself to retreat at this moment. She spilled out in one breath, "When I was pregnant, the doctor told me that the miscarriage had a significant impact on my body, which could lead to infertility... When I had an accidental miscarriage half a year ago, the doctor said that due to severe damage to my uterine wall, I might never be able to have children again."

That gentle smile slowly faded from Howard Geoffrey’s handsome face...

Rebecca Quentin watched his expression without blinking, lowering her head in sadness, and sorrowfully asked, "Do you mind?"

Howard Geoffrey said nothing, gazing at her, and the atmosphere between them instantly turned as heavy as lead.

Rebecca Quentin felt Howard Geoffrey’s gaze become filled with coldness, his eyes sharp and icy.

She didn’t dare to look up at him, fearing to see the expression she dreaded on his face.

The next second, Howard Geoffrey turned away.

The light suddenly brightened, and Rebecca Quentin looked up sharply, only to see Howard Geoffrey’s back as he left. She jumped down from the sink, staring at him in a daze.

Turning the door handle, Howard Geoffrey’s steps paused at the door, his back facing her, his voice slightly hoarse, "You should have told me earlier."

"I..."

Rebecca Quentin watched Howard Geoffrey’s cold and stern back leave, her words catching in her throat.

Howard Geoffrey was already striding away.

In the car, Lisa Cecily hesitated for a few seconds and softly asked, "Miss Quentin, did you have a bad talk with the boss?"

Rebecca Quentin silently shook her head.

"The boss seemed to be in a bad mood when he returned to the office. What happened?"

Rebecca Quentin raised her vacant eyes to look ahead, asking, "Secretary Cecily, do you think Howard and I will be together again?"

Lisa Cecily nodded vigorously, "Of course, if the boss didn’t care about you, why would he repeatedly force you to find him?"

Rebecca Quentin lowered her eyelashes and sighed heavily.

"Miss Quentin, you must have faith in the boss..."

Rebecca Quentin fell silent again.

Although Lisa Cecily couldn’t figure out what went wrong between Howard Geoffrey and Rebecca Quentin during their conversation, she feared Rebecca Quentin might overthink, so she did her best to comfort her, "Miss Quentin, you see, the boss personally instructed me to take you home. This shows that he cares about you... Oh, by the way, he also told me he’d call you later."

Rebecca Quentin lifted her downcast face, "Really?"

Lisa Cecily nodded vigorously, "Yes... don’t overthink, wait for the boss to call you, okay?"

Rebecca Quentin’s pale face slightly regained some color, "Okay."

Knock, knock.

"Come in."

With the boss’s permission, Lisa Cecily quietly walked in. "Boss, I’ve already taken Miss Quentin home."

Howard Geoffrey seemed thoughtful, responding faintly, "Okay."

Lisa Cecily glanced up and secretly peeked at her boss.

He sat quietly in the chair behind the desk, his handsome face showing no apparent abnormality, but the furrowed brows exuded a chill.

Having worked with Howard Geoffrey for many years, Lisa Cecily knew that when Howard Geoffrey had this expression, she usually needed to retreat silently, but before leaving, she couldn’t help but say, "Boss, when I took Miss Quentin home, she seemed quite down."

Howard Geoffrey glanced at Lisa Cecily, "Did she say anything?"

Lisa Cecily replied, "Miss Quentin didn’t say much, and she seemed calm, but she really looked down."

"You can leave now!"

"Yes."

Lisa Cecily dared not say more, turning to leave.

After Lisa Cecily left, Howard Geoffrey stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window.

His face cold and pale, his eyes exuded a sharp chill, yet his face was expressionless.

Back home, Rebecca Quentin lay on the bed, feeling quite weary.

She stared blankly at the ceiling, her mind filled with scenes with him just now.

Going to see him this time, she had never expected things to develop to this state.

When he pushed her, she could have maintained her cold refusal in front of him, but at that moment, when he held her, the affection and reluctance in her heart made her change her mind...

Leaning against his chest, inhaling his pleasant masculine scent, her mind was filled with thoughts of him over the past two hundred nights...

Therefore, she could not control her rationality and followed her heart...

She could hold him, walk with him, be pampered and cherished like in the past; she couldn’t remain indifferent...

She knew that if things continued to develop as they had, the ending would never be as embarrassing as having Lisa Cecily send her home... but she had to be honest with him because she knew he cared.

What man can endure his woman not being able to bear children?
