Contract Marriage: Abusive Love with Mr.CEO-Chapter 615 - 321: How Should I Soothe Her?

Howard Geoffrey sternly stated, "I don’t want Vivian Lindsey interfering in Becca’s world anymore."

Nelson Lewis replied seriously, "But I’m afraid that while you’re considering this side, you’re overlooking the other side."

Howard Geoffrey remained silent, his lips tightly pressed.

Nelson Lewis slowly admitted, "I think you need to trust that Becca can handle the truth... She’s been through so much with you; she must be able to understand any decision you make. Besides, you can’t let someone like Chester Robinson continue to occupy a place in Becca’s heart."

Howard Geoffrey replied flatly, "After I deal with Chester Robinson, I’ll explain to her."

"But have you considered that when you explain everything to Becca after handling all the issues, she might resent you?"

"I’ll have enough time to comfort her by then."

Nelson Lewis shook his head, "In my opinion, she will certainly resent you because you take away her choice... Chester Robinson and Vivian Lindsey are both important to her. Let’s set Chester aside and focus on Vivian; even though Becca doesn’t mention Vivian, Vivian is her mother. Becca’s avoiding talking about her doesn’t mean she doesn’t care. And I understand your nature; you won’t let Chester off the hook, nor Vivian. Sending Vivian to prison isn’t the end you want for her... So, are you sure that when Becca learns about Vivian’s tragic end, she’ll accept your solace? I think you won’t be able to comfort Becca, because no matter what Vivian’s faults are, she’s still Becca’s mother, and you are Becca’s husband. You should give Becca the right to choose and to know, let her face the consequence you’ve prepared for Vivian..."

Howard Geoffrey pondered for a few seconds, "I have considered that, but... no matter what Becca thinks, I won’t go easy on Vivian Lindsey and Chester Robinson."

"Are you worried that your decision might clash with Becca’s, thus fearing a conflict with her?"

"Yes."

"I think you should trust Becca in this regard. Now that she’s your wife and has been through so much with you, I believe she will understand every decision you make and stand by your side."

Howard Geoffrey raised his hand to pinch the bridge of his nose, a trace of fatigue showing between his eyebrows, "What I worry most about is that she won’t be able to accept the surgery."

"That is indeed something difficult for her to accept, but she will find out eventually, so why not be upfront with her now? No matter how she reacts, at least she won’t blame you for hiding it."

Howard Geoffrey sighed softly, his voice slightly hoarse, "Actually, she’s been mentioning to me about wanting to have a child these days..."

"So you should seriously consider the advice I gave you."

Howard Geoffrey nodded, sitting up straight, "Thank you, brother... I think I know what to do now."

Nelson Lewis gave a faint smile, "I’m not as meticulous as you at thinking everything through; I can only offer my perspective as an observer."

"Hmm... People can’t always act according to plans."

"Then I’ll head out, Roger said he wanted to have a drink with me."

"Alright."

After Nelson Lewis left, Howard Geoffrey leaned back in his chair, lost in thought for a while.

Suddenly, his phone rang on the table.

Howard Geoffrey glanced at the number displayed on the screen, his eyes darkening a bit, then pressed the answer key.

Alice Robinson’s voice began to come through the phone... 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Just then, Rebecca Quentin returned from the garden carrying Andrew and happened to see Howard Geoffrey dressed in a dark suit coming out of the villa.

"Howard Geoffrey!"

Rebecca Quentin called out.

Howard Geoffrey paused his steps as Rebecca Quentin, holding Andrew, came up to him.

"Daddy..."

Andrew reached out, wanting Howard Geoffrey to hold him.

Howard Geoffrey picked Andrew up, kissed his flushed little cheek, and gently reproved, "Don’t cling to mommy for play all the time, okay?"

Andrew obediently nodded.

Rebecca Quentin asked, "Are you heading out?"

"Yes, something came up at the company."

Rebecca Quentin then took Andrew from Howard Geoffrey’s arms, "Will you be back tonight?" She didn’t forget that it was already four in the afternoon.

"Of course, wait for me to return." He still had things to discuss with her.

Rebecca Quentin gave a sweet smile and took the initiative to kiss Howard Geoffrey on the cheek.

Andrew watched his daddy’s actions towards mommy with his big clear eyes, embarrassedly burying his face into Rebecca Quentin’s embrace, mumbling, "Mommy, so shy..."
