Contract Marriage: Abusive Love with Mr.CEO-Chapter 569 - 297: So Sweet 1_2

At this moment, Becca tightly interlocks her fingers with Howard Geoffrey’s, then raises her eyes and looks deeply at him, "We won’t separate anymore, right?"

"Yes."

"Can you promise me that?"

Howard Geoffrey makes a serious gesture of oath and solemnly utters, "I promise Becca that I will never separate from her again, I will be with her all my life, and if I fail to do so, may I spend the rest of my life alone and lonely."

Becca is amused by Howard Geoffrey’s righteously serious attitude, "I’m afraid even if you don’t fulfill this promise, you wouldn’t spend your life alone and lonely. With your excellent conditions, women wanting to be with you could line up from domestic to overseas..."

"Do you mean my oath isn’t fierce enough?"

Becca nods seriously and calmly replies, "You should make a more venomous oath... Like if you’re not with me, your company will go bankrupt, and you’ll end up with nothing, poor for a lifetime, and if that sounds too harsh, you can even say you would lose your looks or something..."

Howard Geoffrey raises his eyebrow, "Baby, where did you learn such venomous thoughts?"

Becca answers leisurely, "I don’t need to learn, don’t you know? ’The most venomous is a woman’s heart!’ If he has neither money nor a handsome face, who would still want to be with him?"

Howard Geoffrey’s dark eyes squint into a line, "Do you really want me to make such a venomous oath?"

Becca pretends to be disappointed, "You don’t dare?"

"Alright, I say, I, Howard Geoffrey..."

"Hey..." Becca suddenly covers Howard Geoffrey’s mouth with her hand, nervously saying, "I’m joking with you. If you really lose money and looks, how would I explain to my son?"

Howard Geoffrey laughs loudly, embraces Becca and kisses her face.

Becca’s face turns red with embarrassment, "Don’t do that, Jason Wood is driving up ahead..."

Jason Wood, focused on driving, speaks up, "Miss Quentin, please don’t worry about me, I can’t see anything or hear anything right now."

Becca’s face gets even rosier from Jason Wood’s words, and she hurriedly changes the topic, "Right, where are we going now?"

"You’re not well yet, we’re not going back to New York for now, we’ll return to the villa first."

"Okay..."

"Do you want to sleep?"

Becca shakes her head, "I can’t sleep..."

Howard Geoffrey asks in a low voice, "Still thinking about Chester Robinson?"

Becca answers truthfully, "I left with you without saying a word, and I think that’s quite impolite."

"I’ve already explained very clearly to him, if he truly wishes for your happiness, he won’t mind me taking you away."

"I’ll explain it to Doctor Robinson later... Right, I asked you in the hospital how you knew I had surgery, you haven’t answered me yet!"

"Do you think I can be at ease leaving you alone in T City?" 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"You mean... you’ve had someone watching me all the time?"

"Yes, Roye has always been watching over you."

The pattering sound of rain softly enters Becca’s ears.

Asleep, Becca slowly opens her eyes from her dream.

She takes a glance around, and the surroundings are a familiar environment she hasn’t seen in a long time.

A white big bed, floral wallpaper, light-colored wardrobe... This room in the simple European style makes her realize she’s now in the villa.

Recalling all the scenes before sleeping, Becca can’t help but glance to her side.

He was still beside her when she slept, but the other half of the bed is now empty.

Becca tries to sit up, but before she can prop herself up, the servant who had been waiting by the door runs over and carefully helps her, "Miss Quentin, you’re awake..."

Becca nods, allowing the servant to put a pillow behind her back.

Leaning against the soft and comfortable pillow, she asks, "Where is Howard Geoffrey?"

The servant replies with a smile, "Mr. Geoffrey is in the study reviewing documents, he instructed me to call him when you wake up, I’ll go call him now."

"Okay."

Before leaving, the servant doesn’t forget to remind her, "Miss Quentin, don’t move around too much, be careful not to touch the wound."

"Yes."

After a while, steady footsteps are heard.

Becca leans on the bedside, looking expectantly towards the direction of the footsteps.

In the next moment, Howard Geoffrey’s handsome figure appears in Becca’s view.

Becca involuntarily shows a smile, extending her hands wanting him to hold her.

Howard Geoffrey’s graceful face also shows a gentle smile, he sits down on the edge of the bed, takes Becca’s hand, and softly asks, "Awake?"

"Yes." With that, Becca snuggles into Howard Geoffrey’s arms.

Howard Geoffrey says anxiously, "Be careful not to touch the wound."

Becca leans on Howard Geoffrey’s shoulder and nods, "I know, I didn’t touch it."

Only then does Howard Geoffrey dare to embrace Becca, softly saying, "Are you hungry? I’ve asked the servant to cook something, I’ll have them bring it over..."

"No, I’m not hungry." Becca lingers in Howard Geoffrey’s embrace, her voice low and hoarse, "I just want to hold you like this."

Howard Geoffrey kisses Becca’s cheek, "Silly."

Becca suddenly asks, "Is it raining outside?"

"Yes, it’s been raining for a while."

"Howard Geoffrey, don’t you think, on a rainy day, holding each other like this feels really nice?" On a rainy day, people always feel lonely and desolate, but when you can lean on the person you love most, feeling the warmth of their embrace, such a day gives you a special sense of wanting to cherish it.

"Yes."

"I just had a dream."

"What dream?"

"I dreamed we went to Foam Island together, with your mom, my sister, your brother, and Mr. Lewis, General Leonard, Isabella, and all of us on the island... the sun was really beautiful that day, the gentle sea breeze blew, you guys were discussing business on one side, and my sister, Isabella, and I were lying under the parasol chatting about the kids..." Becca pauses here.

Howard Geoffrey listens intently, seeing her suddenly stop talking, he can’t help asking, "And then?"

"Nothing else."

Howard Geoffrey’s handsome face lifts a smile, "Didn’t you dream about our kids?"

Mentioning kids, Becca’s face turns a bit red, "...Yes."

"Andrew?"

Becca shyly replies, "Yes... Besides Andrew, there’s another one."

Seeing the redness on Becca’s cheeks, Howard Geoffrey already guesses roughly, but pretends not to understand, "Another one?"
