Contract Marriage: Abusive Love with Mr.CEO-Chapter 575 - 300: So Sweet 4_2

Rebecca Quentin furrowed her brows, "I’m not going back to the room... I’ve been stuck in the room all day these days, I’m about to suffocate."

Knowing he couldn’t win against Rebecca Quentin, Howard Geoffrey could only choose to compromise, "Alright, I’ll sit here with you for a while, but only for a while."

Rebecca Quentin nodded happily, pulling Howard Geoffrey, carefully sitting down on the bench.

To prevent Rebecca Quentin from catching a chill, Howard Geoffrey took off his jacket and draped it over Rebecca Quentin.

Rebecca Quentin held onto Howard Geoffrey’s jacket, feeling a sweet sensation in her heart.

Howard Geoffrey kissed Rebecca Quentin on the cheek and asked, "Did you sleep well last night?"

Rebecca Quentin nodded truthfully, "Hmm..."

Howard Geoffrey squinted his eyes, mischievously sizing her up, "Really slept well?"

Under Howard Geoffrey’s pointed gaze, Rebecca Quentin’s face flushed slightly, realizing what he meant, she muttered, "Hey, it wasn’t me who asked you to move to the next room."

Yes, they’ve been sleeping in separate rooms these past two days.

Mainly because on the first night, she was almost driven mad by him.

Her body couldn’t be touched by him, and the whole night he was snuggling against her, making it impossible for her to get a good night’s sleep.

As soon as day broke, she stared at him with those resentful eyes until he voluntarily suggested they sleep in separate rooms.

So, she slept soundly these two nights, all the way till dawn, while he seemed to have slept poorly, even telling her yesterday morning that he had a stiff neck.

She admitted she felt a bit guilty in her heart, but she was genuinely a patient who needed proper rest.

Howard Geoffrey whispered into Rebecca Quentin’s ear, "How about I move back tonight?"

Rebecca Quentin reacted dramatically, "No!!"

Howard Geoffrey’s face blossomed with a playful smile like he caught a thief.

Rebecca Quentin playfully hit Howard Geoffrey, "You’re a rascal!"

Howard Geoffrey put away his amused expression and said seriously, "I am genuinely planning to move back tonight."

Rebecca Quentin glared at him, "Hey, we agreed after half a month when my wound has healed, you can... sleep with me again, don’t go back on your word."

Howard Geoffrey feigned disappointment, saying, "If you don’t agree, I can only keep my promise."

Rebecca Quentin wrapped her arms around Howard Geoffrey’s neck, blushing, whispering, "If you behave, I’ll have a reward for you after half a month."

Howard Geoffrey asked with interest, "What’s the reward?"

Rebecca Quentin deliberately kept it a secret, "You’ll know when the time comes." 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Howard Geoffrey whispered into Rebecca Quentin’s ear, "You serve me?"

Rebecca Quentin’s cheeks flushed to the ears, "Hey, can’t you think about something proper?"

Howard Geoffrey replied in Rebecca Quentin’s ear matter-of-factly, "In a man’s world, thinking about these things is the most proper."

"I won’t bother talking to you..." Luckily the servants saw him coming and sensibly stood far away, otherwise, if they heard the conversation between her and him, she’d die of embarrassment.

Howard Geoffrey embraced Rebecca Quentin again, giving her another kiss, but right at that moment, his phone rang undesirably.

Howard Geoffrey had to let go of Rebecca Quentin and took out his phone.

Rebecca Quentin clung to Howard Geoffrey, silently listening in on his call.

"Hmm... tell them to postpone... it’s best not to exceed the date marked in the contract for the project’s completion, alert the person in charge over there... good... I’ll handle it personally."

Seeing Howard Geoffrey had ended his call, Rebecca Quentin dared to ask, "Was it Lisa Cecily who called you?"

Howard Geoffrey tapped Rebecca Quentin’s cute nose, "You won’t suspect even a work-related call, will you?"

Rebecca Quentin retorted with annoyance, "Hey, I’m just concerned about your work; I wasn’t randomly getting jealous!"

Ever since he promised her not to associate with Alice Robinson anymore, she hadn’t doubted him; she’s always trusted him.

Howard Geoffrey smiled, answering seriously, "There are some company matters I need to handle."

Rebecca Quentin became nervous at once, "Is it important?"

Howard Geoffrey held Rebecca Quentin’s delicate little face, saying affectionately, "Compared to you, nothing is important."

Rebecca Quentin pushed away Howard Geoffrey’s hand, earnestly saying, "Stop joking... ’Skytop’ would definitely be in chaos without you, why don’t you head back to New York?"

"Are you sure?"

Rebecca Quentin nodded, "I have so many servants here taking care of me, you don’t need to worry at all."

Howard Geoffrey kissed Rebecca Quentin’s forehead, his magnetic voice expressing satisfaction, "Baby, you’re really too understanding."

Rebecca Quentin gave a faint smile.

Howard Geoffrey said, "Then I’ll go pack up now and head to New York... I’ll try to be quick, come back soon."

Rebecca Quentin was taken aback, "Huh? You’re going to New York now?"

Howard Geoffrey kissed Rebecca Quentin’s cheek again, "Wait for me obediently."

"But..."

Before Rebecca Quentin could finish speaking, Howard Geoffrey had already gotten up and left.

Watching Howard Geoffrey’s receding back, Rebecca Quentin froze on the bench.

Oh heavens, did he really just leave?

Rebecca Quentin angrily gripped the bench, refusing to look at him, muttering in a small voice, "Still said nothing is more important than me, but as soon as work calls, he leaves without a word, hum..."

Unable to resist turning her head to check behind, discovering Howard Geoffrey really had left, Rebecca Quentin couldn’t help but complain to herself, "Really, why bother being so understanding? After finally being together for just a few days, we already have to be apart again..."

As Rebecca Quentin was mumbling to herself, a deep voice suddenly sounded in her ear, "Really want me to leave?"

The unexpected voice startled Rebecca Quentin, and upon raising her eyes to see Howard Geoffrey’s handsome face, Rebecca Quentin was instantly embarrassed, hitting Howard Geoffrey’s shoulder, "Despicable!!" He was just teasing her.

Howard Geoffrey wrapped his arms around Rebecca Quentin’s waist, kissing her pouting lips, "Silly, how could I bear to leave."

Rebecca Quentin glared at him in accusatory anger, "You just love seeing me make a fool of myself!"

Howard Geoffrey expressed sincerely, "I just really want to see how much you care about me."

Rebecca Quentin asked in embarrassment, "So, you heard all I just said?"

Howard Geoffrey pretended to recall with difficulty, "Didn’t hear much clearly, just seemed to hear you say I care more about work than you, and then you blaming yourself..."

Rebecca Quentin promptly used her hand to cover Howard Geoffrey’s mouth, "Despicable, despicable!!"

Howard Geoffrey laughed heartily, suddenly gazing deeply at Rebecca Quentin’s charming face, asking, "Do you love me?"
