Contract Marriage: Abusive Love with Mr.CEO-Chapter 542 - 284: She Kissed Him First 4

Howard Geoffrey’s face was filled with reluctance.

Rebecca Quentin added, "I’ve been at the hospital all day today, and I’m really dirty."

Howard Geoffrey had to let go of Rebecca Quentin, "Go ahead!"

Rebecca Quentin lowered her head and softly said, "Um... I don’t have any clothes to change into. Could you ask the hotel staff to prepare a set for me?" She had hurried to M City without packing, and after spending the whole day at the hospital, it was only when she wanted to take a shower that she remembered she had no change of clothes.

Howard Geoffrey walked to the nightstand, took the clean underwear placed there, and handed it to Rebecca Quentin, "I’ve already prepared several sets for you, and there are clothes as well."

Seeing the black lace lingerie and matching panties in Howard Geoffrey’s hand, Rebecca Quentin’s face instantly turned red like a shrimp. She grabbed the underwear and dashed into the bathroom at lightning speed.

Rebecca Quentin dawdled in the bathroom, only coming out after drying her hair.

She didn’t dare to think about their current relationship, but she liked being with him.

He gave her not only a sense of security but also a sweet, pleasant feeling, just like when they used to be together, making her not want to think about anything at this moment...

However, reality is reality, and it’s not like just because she doesn’t want to, some facts can be ignored.

"Um... don’t overthink it. How could I not miss you? Take care of your daddy, and come back early..."

Rebecca Quentin stood silently at the bathroom door, staring blankly at the figure in a robe standing by the room’s floor-to-ceiling window, making a call.

She dropped her eyes sadly, his voice gentle on the phone filled her ears, and she didn’t need to guess to know who he was calling.

Quietly, she turned back into the bathroom, took off the hotel robe, and put back on the clothes she arrived in.

She washed her face at the sink, staring blankly at her reflection in the mirror.

She truly was useless, always so easily forgetting reality...

In Y City, he had already made it clear to her, yet she still dared to dream like that.

He spoke to her gently, maybe even more so to Alice Robinson; at night, he held her as they slept, maybe he held Alice Robinson like that too; the wild times they spent together, maybe he with Alice Robinson...

Closing her eyes, Rebecca Quentin didn’t allow herself to continue thinking, she splashed cold water on her face again.

Knock, knock—

The frosted glass of the bathroom was lightly tapped, and his deep, magnetic voice followed, "Becca, are you done?"

Rebecca Quentin quickly wiped away the traces of water or tears from her face, responding, "Oh, almost done."

Coming out of the bathroom again, Rebecca Quentin was already fully dressed.

Seeing Rebecca Quentin like this, Howard Geoffrey’s dark eyes flickered with sensitivity, as if already sensing her unusual behavior.

Rebecca Quentin picked up her bag without looking at Howard Geoffrey again, and politely said, "I’m leaving."

As she headed towards the room door, Howard Geoffrey timely reached out, caught her slender frame, and drew her into his arms, his chin against her face, "What’s wrong?"

Rebecca Quentin didn’t struggle or look up at him, she said softly, "I want to go to the hospital to be with Aunt Clare."

Howard Geoffrey’s dark gaze remained calm, "You’re still worried about her?"

Rebecca Quentin nodded.

Howard Geoffrey gently cupped her delicate face, "Why don’t you look at me?"

Rebecca Quentin slowly lifted her eyes, as if obeying his command, to look at him.

In her sight, his sharply defined features were still just as striking and remarkable, but as her eyes dimmed, they gradually blurred.

At this moment, a trace of hurt flashed through her heart.

Howard Geoffrey pecked her slightly pale lips, "Tell me, what’s wrong?"

Rebecca Quentin shook her head, "Nothing... I’m just worried about Aunt Clare’s condition. I can’t stay here."

"But it’s so late, the hospital won’t let you in."

"No, the hospital is open 24 hours, and I’ve informed the caregiver."

"Alright then, I’ll have Roye take you there."

"Okay."

In the car, Rebecca Quentin kept holding her forehead, leaning against the car window.

Roye glanced at Rebecca Quentin’s somewhat lost expression through the rearview mirror and couldn’t help but ask, "Miss Quentin, why are you going back to the hospital so late?" 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Roye actually wanted to ask why Rebecca Quentin didn’t stay with Howard Geoffrey but couldn’t ask directly, so he hinted.

"Well, not to the hospital. Take me to the hotel across the street from the hospital instead!" She naturally lied to Howard Geoffrey earlier, knowing the hospital’s main gate wouldn’t close, but the inpatient area would be locked after midnight.
