Chapter 622: Chapter 324: The Wedding Will Be Held This Afternoon 1_2

Howard Geoffrey said directly, "No."

Rebecca Quentin forcefully shook off Howard Geoffrey’s hand and said sternly, "I have my freedom. You have no right to confine me."

Howard Geoffrey narrowed his deep eyes, scrutinizing Rebecca Quentin’s stubborn face, "I am your husband."

Rebecca Quentin spat out angrily, "You deceived me."

"What is deception?"

"If I had known you hid so much from me... I wouldn’t have registered with you."

Hearing Rebecca Quentin’s words, Howard Geoffrey stood silently in place for several seconds.

There was no significant change in his facial expression, but his eyes shrouded in an inexplicable obscure light, faintly exuding a chill.

Rebecca Quentin only just realized that her impulsive words were a bit harsh, yet it was indeed her truest thought deep down.

The cold light in Howard Geoffrey’s eyes gradually restrained. He suppressed his emotions and said with an extremely patient tone, "You can vent however you want, but Chester Robinson, I don’t allow you to see him."

Rebecca Quentin retorted coldly, "Do I not even have the freedom to question him?"

Howard Geoffrey endured, "He’s a dangerous person."

Rebecca Quentin let out a sarcastic laugh, "You left me by his side for so long without caring about my danger, and now you’re talking to me about danger?"

Howard Geoffrey’s already tense and unpleasant face became even more sinister because of Rebecca Quentin’s current words.

Rebecca Quentin added, "I must see him!"

"I forbid you to go!"

This time, Rebecca Quentin was really furious. She originally wanted to discuss with him about going with her to see Chester Robinson, but with Howard Geoffrey’s outburst, she immediately changed her mind.

"What if I insist on going to see him?"

"No ifs!!" Howard Geoffrey gritted his teeth and spat out domineeringly.

"Yes, whatever you say I just need to follow. You’re always right, you’re always correct, I just need to obey."

Rebecca Quentin stood up straight, her cold, clear eyes meeting Howard Geoffrey’s overwhelming presence directly.

"Exactly." He curled his lips, and because of his anger, his lips twitched slightly. His unfathomable black eyes stared deep into her soul, "I say no, so it’s no!"

The two stared at each other, and the temperature around them dropped to freezing point, gusts of chilly wind blowing through.

Rebecca Quentin straightened her chest, resisting the urge to smooth the goosebumps on her arms, "Alright, you do whatever you want."

Without waiting for Howard Geoffrey’s response, Rebecca Quentin quickly turned and left.

Yet the gaze behind her was like a burning flame, constantly searing her...

"I’ve had enough, you all enjoy."

At dinner, Rebecca Quentin barely took a couple of bites before leaving the dining room.

"Why does it look like the situation is getting worse?" Mrs. Geoffrey said, with a weary tone filled with unspeakable worry.

After talking in the garden, something unknown seemed to occur between Rebecca Quentin and Howard Geoffrey from noon till night. Their once-loving demeanor vanished without a trace. Now, whenever Howard Geoffrey and Rebecca Quentin met, the icy atmosphere between them was enough to make everyone shiver.

"Is Howard Geoffrey still in the study?" Christine Quinn inquired.

Isabella Joanna nodded, "Things truly seem tense."

Marie sensed something amiss among the adults and asked with concern, "Mommy, what’s wrong with Uncle Geoffrey and Auntie?"

Christine Quinn responded impatiently, "Just eat your food. Kids shouldn’t ask about adult matters."

"Christine, perhaps you should go check on Becca..."

The one speaking was Aunt Clare.

Christine Quinn shook her head, "Untying the knot requires the person who tied it. No matter how much I talk to Becca, it won’t solve the issue between her and Howard Geoffrey."

"Indeed!" Isabella Joanna also seemed worried, "They’re about to get married soon. If they carry such a rift, can they still tie the knot by then?"

Everyone chided in unison, "Don’t jinx it!"

Isabella Joanna immediately covered her mouth.

Rebecca Quentin returned to her room on the second floor, sitting on the edge of the bed in solitude, silently pondering.

The grievances in her heart made her throat feel bitter at this moment.

Why should he scold her?

He could go see Alice Robinson without giving her a single explanation, yet she merely wanted to clarify things with Chester Robinson, and he outright forbade it.

Why is he always doing what he thinks is right without considering her feelings? Why do all his actions, which outwardly express his love and care, fail to make her feel even a sliver of warmth?

At this moment, she unexpectedly felt that he cared more for his plans than he did for her... 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Is his world truly only about winning and losing?

I tell you, the person you’ve chosen is just a cold-hearted, arrogant, and selfish man! His world is forever only about winning and losing, devoid of emotions. He can resort to any means necessary, seize every opportunity, as long as it brings him victory. For this, he can even discard emotions...

Chester Robinson’s words suddenly echoed in Rebecca Quentin’s ears, lingering in her mind over and over.

Rebecca Quentin’s weak body gradually collapsed onto the bed, her eyes becoming more distant due to the chaotic thoughts in her mind.

Yes, after all these entangled years with him, she almost forgot that heartless and cold, arrogant and selfish, was also her judgment of him once.

She vividly remembered how, back then, to coerce her into submission, he had others submerge Aunt Clare in water to make her obey him...

From that moment, she knew the man she knew was cold and ruthless. Even though they had two years of marriage kinship back then, he could cold-bloodedly threaten her with the life of the closest family member.

So, his essence is seeing emotions as nothing.

She still remembered Skyler Jones also once told her similar things to what Chester Robinson said...

He said Howard Geoffrey was a businessman, a businessman who only considered interests. No matter what, the first thing he’d consider was profits.

In the past, she didn’t take Skyler Jones’ words to heart. She only thought he was trying to convince her to give up on Howard Geoffrey. But in hindsight, Skyler Jones seemed to have never spoken a single insincere word to her. He had always been sincere with her.

However, if Howard Geoffrey’s heart truly only had plans, only his calculated interests, why would he choose to be with her now?

The years of entanglement can be divided into several stages.

One stage was when he sought her out for revenge, another when he reaccepted her to win against Skyler Jones, and the final stage is now...

When there’s no more interest or value for him to utilize, why does he still choose to be with her?
