Chapter 549: Chapter 287: She Wants the Three of Them to Stay Together Forever (Part 2)

The moment he just left, the room still faintly carried his masculine scent, and the sheets were imbued with the fragrance of their recent lovemaking.

Only at this moment did Rebecca Quentin dare to sob out loud...

Silently, she called his name in her heart again and again, with tears incessantly sliding from the corners of her eyes.

I’m sorry...

It’s my fault for not cherishing the feelings we had, and mine for losing you.

But I don’t want to end things with you like this; I don’t want to live this life without you by my side...

I miss Andrew, I miss you, I wish our family of three could be together...

By seeking me out, you showed you still care, didn’t you?

If I said, "I’m sorry," if I pleaded with you, would you still be willing to give us another chance?

Bang—

A sound of explosion suddenly pierced the ears of Howard Geoffrey, who had just closed his eyes for a rest.

Even though the noise came from afar, Howard suddenly opened his eyes.

Roye noticed Howard’s body jerk awake and quickly said, "Mr. President, we haven’t reached the airport yet. Please rest, and I’ll wake you when we arrive."

Howard asked, "Did you hear that noise?"

"No, there wasn’t any noise."

Just as Roye finished speaking, the sound of ambulance sirens whooping along with many motorcycle policemen followed.

Roye instinctively glanced out the window and frowned, "Did something happen? Why are there so many ambulances?"

Watching the ambulances flashing red and blue lights, Howard’s heart suddenly tightened, "Stop the car and go down to ask what happened."

"Yes, sir."

Roye pulled the car to the side of the road and stopped a motorcycle policeman, politely asking, "Officer, why are there so many police and ambulances? Has something happened?"

"There was a sudden explosion at the XXX Hotel ahead."

"What?" Roye’s eyes widened in alarm, "XXX Hotel?"

Quickly running to the car, Roye shouted, "Mr. President, something terrible has happened, there’s been a malicious explosion at the XXX Hotel..."

In front of the XXX Hotel’s entrance, several arriving reporters were eager to report.

"We’re now at the front door of the XXX Hotel. Twenty minutes ago, a heinous incident occurred here. Someone detonated a bomb on the 26th floor of the hotel. Firefighters are actively rescuing the scene, and casualties are still unknown..."

"We can see thick smoke billowing from the floors above and below the 26th floor..."

"Make way, please."

"Sorry sir, the police have cordoned off this area, you can’t go inside!!"

Roye tugged at the cordon tape, angrily saying, "My boss’s wife is inside."

"I’m really sorry, but we can’t confirm if there are more bombs in this building right now. Please be patient in the family area, and as soon as we have a list of injured individuals, we’ll inform you immediately!"

Roye helplessly glanced at Howard behind him, "Mr. President..."

Howard’s face was ashen, and he already threw a solid punch at the officer. Before the officer could react, Howard fiercely grabbed the officer by his crisp uniform, "Open the hotel’s door, do you hear me?" Yes, not only was tape cordoning off, but even the hotel’s doors were closed.

The officer fearfully looked at the dangerous man exuding an air of nobility and arrogance while grabbing him, weakly stuttering, "Sir, you... please calm down, everyone is trying their best to rescue..."

Another punch landed on the officer.

This time, the officer’s face bled a bit.

Roye hurriedly restrained Howard, "Mr. President, please calm down..."

Several officers, seeing their companion injured, immediately surrounded them.

With quick eyes and hands, Roye rapidly grabbed the officer Howard had hit and dragged him aside, swiftly landing a few not very heavy punches.

Roye’s intention was clear, divert everyone’s attention at that moment away from Howard’s presence. After all, with so many reporters around, if Howard’s identity got exposed, even disregarding the negative impacts, just the report of Howard appearing in M City would already ruin all of Howard’s previous plans.

However...

Plans were something Howard no longer cared about at this moment. As he, full of hostility, approached the commanding police officer, a loud call suddenly resounded behind him, "Howard—"

Due to the noisy scene and everyone’s attention drawn to Roye attacking the police, the voice calling out behind Howard was immediately drowned out, but familiar with the voice, Howard turned around at that moment.

In his vision...

Wearing a white hotel bathrobe, Rebecca Quentin was particularly noticeable in the crowd, waving at him as she was blocked by several onlooking spectators...

In the next instant, like the wind, he dashed forward.

Surging through the crowd, he caused many to stagger...

Suddenly, he pulled her into his arms with force,

Only to yank her back and kiss her fiercely.

All the onlookers could see was an outstandingly handsome man tightly embracing and kissing a small woman in a hotel bathrobe...

Just as people found the couple somewhat familiar, another massive explosion boomed from the XXX Hotel...

In an instant, no one paid further attention to the young couple’s presence, all eyes focused on the exploding upper floor.

Howard embraced Rebecca Quentin, kissing and letting go, and kissing again as if afraid to confirm she was standing safely before him.

Startled by the explosion sound, Rebecca covered her ears quickly, staring at the smoking hotel, "What happened here?"

She had just returned to find the place teeming with people. She wanted to see what was happening, but was surprised to see him in the crowd.

"Sweetheart, where did you go?"

Hearing Howard’s hoarse voice, Rebecca, with tear marks still in her eyes, released her hands from her ears and embraced him, "You’re still here; I thought you had left... I just ran downstairs to find you, but you were gone. I ran to the traffic lights, hoping you were waiting, but I couldn’t see your car anymore..."

Listening to Rebecca’s anguished words, Howard once again engulfed the fragile Rebecca in his arms, his eyes showing faint moistness.

Raising her eyes from Howard’s embrace, Rebecca’s tear-stained eyes locked onto Howard, pitifully saying, "Howard, I didn’t cherish our feelings before, can you forgive me, and give us another chance? I can’t be without you..."
