Contract Marriage: Abusive Love with Mr.CEO-Chapter 649 - 338: The Island Is Already Set Up 3_2

Rebecca Quentin’s eyes, devoid of light, gazed into the distance, not hearing what Christine Quinn was saying.

Christine Quinn noticed Rebecca Quentin’s distraction, suddenly stopped the wheelchair, squatted in front of her, and asked, "Becca, did you hear me just now?"

"Oh?" Rebecca Quentin looked dazed, apologetically said, "I’m sorry, sis... What did you say just now?"

Christine Quinn sighed, "What I said isn’t important; what’s important is that this is the third time today you’ve been absent-minded."

"I’m sorry..."

Christine Quinn gently held Rebecca Quentin’s thin shoulders, speaking earnestly, "Becca, whether it’s intuition or the atmosphere between you and Howard Geoffrey, I feel that something is wrong between you... You wanted me to come to New York to accompany you, you must have something to tell me, and I have a premonition this isn’t a good thing."

Rebecca Quentin suddenly reached out and hugged Christine Quinn.

Christine Quinn hugged Rebecca Quentin tightly, gently stroking her thin back, "Whatever you’re thinking, just tell me, sis... You know, I can definitely help you alleviate your sorrow."

"Sis, I..."

Rebecca Quentin leaned on Christine Quinn’s shoulder, hesitating to speak.

Christine Quinn stroked Rebecca Quentin’s back with affection, "Don’t be afraid, speak..."

Rebecca Quentin slowly released Christine Quinn, tears faintly glistening in her eyes, the sun’s refraction making them look even more shimmering.

Seeing the mistiness in Rebecca Quentin’s eyes, Christine Quinn was startled, nervously asked, "Becca, what’s wrong?"

Rebecca Quentin lowered her head, bit her lip, and lightly shook her head.

"Is Howard Geoffrey bullying you?"

Rebecca Quentin remained silent.

Christine Quinn suddenly became angry, "That damn man, he really dares to bully you... I’m going to find him right now and settle things."

As Christine Quinn was about to get up, Rebecca Quentin reached out and grabbed Christine Quinn’s hand. "Don’t..."

Christine Quinn looked annoyed, "Tell me, how did he bully you?"

Rebecca Quentin held Christine Quinn tightly, but kept shaking her head.

Christine Quinn clenched her fists, "Becca, I swear, if you don’t tell me, I’ll definitely go ask Howard Geoffrey to clarify!!"

Rebecca Quentin leaned into Christine Quinn, suddenly covering her face with her hands, feeling distressed, "Sis, I really don’t know what to do now."

Christine Quinn squatted down again, holding Rebecca Quentin, "What happened? Quickly tell me."

Rebecca Quentin started sobbing, recounting to Christine Quinn the estrangement that developed between her and Howard Geoffrey after the wedding.

Upon hearing it, Christine Quinn began to curse, "That damn Howard Geoffrey, he actually abandoned your wedding for Alice Robinson, and he’s still entangled with her... I can’t believe I’ve been speaking well of him in front of you!"

Compared to Christine Quinn’s anger, Rebecca Quentin remained silent, having cried many times these past few days, with only tears lingering in her eyes.

Christine Quinn spoke with heartache, "Becca, why didn’t you tell me about his entanglement with Alice Robinson earlier?"

Rebecca Quentin took a deep breath, her eyes looking far away, as if lost in past memories, softly replied, "From the day I met him at twenty, I knew that wanting to be with him wouldn’t be easy... From twenty to twenty-eight, every second after knowing him was spent loving him. I’ve gone all out to get close to him and wisely distanced myself from him, but no matter what, he’s always been the most important person in my life... Finally, I waited for the day we could be together; I was so happy that even dreams woke me up smiling, I didn’t mind him hiding Chester Robinson from me, instead putting me by Chester Robinson’s side to bear dangers so his plan could proceed smoothly, nor did I mind him abandoning our wedding just so his plan could succeed... I didn’t ask him to place me first in his world; I just wanted to be the most important woman in his life, wanted his heart to completely belong to me... When I found out he abandoned the wedding for Alice Robinson, my heart really ached so much, I wanted to scream at him, say he’s pretentious, say many, many things..."

Rebecca Quentin lowered her eyes, gently biting her lips to suppress the sobs escaping from her throat, and after taking several deep breaths, her gaze finally fell on Christine Quinn, face pale, lips bitten deep purple, hoarsely spoke, "Sis, do you know? I don’t dare to question him, I’m very afraid, afraid the answer will be unbearable for me... We have experienced so much together, I once saw him recklessly risk his life trying to rush into a building that might explode to save me; in that moment, his impulsiveness and loss of reason told me I was the person he cared most about, for me, he could disregard anything... But, why is he now treating another woman well? Didn’t he only love me?"

Tears finally uncontrollably streamed down Rebecca Quentin’s face.

Christine Quinn also had tears filled with heartache in her eyes, she reached out and pulled Rebecca Quentin into her embrace, choking out, "Don’t say anymore... Becca..."

Rebecca Quentin leaned on Christine Quinn’s shoulder, her whole body trembling with sobs, hoarsely repeating, "Didn’t he only love me... Didn’t he only love me..."

Christine Quinn kept gently patting Rebecca Quentin’s back, comforting her, while memories of those years spent with Skyler Jones flashed through her mind—there was joy, sorrow, but what lingers deep within her heart is still that unhealable pain.

So, Christine Quinn at this moment could empathize with Rebecca Quentin’s cautious and bewildered feelings... because, she once also deeply loved someone like this.

Christine Quinn suddenly pulled Rebecca Quentin away, holding back tears in her eyes, seriously said, "Becca, since he still wants to take care of someone else, then let him take care of someone else... I’ll take you away, leave here, you shouldn’t be with him anymore, just because he abandoned you and your wedding for another woman doesn’t make him worthy of your deep love..."

"If I leave, what about Andrew? What about Mrs. Geoffrey?"

Christine Quinn resolutely said, "Take Andrew with you!"

Rebecca Quentin shook her head forcefully, tears streaming from her eyes, "Impossible, even at the ends of the earth, he will find me..."

"This time won’t be like Alderton... To be honest, when I saw Marie and Oversky getting along more harmoniously, I started scouting a place for my future, intending to live alone in a place with no acquaintances, not contacting anyone... Now, adding you and Andrew, the three of us can go there, just like living in Alderton once!"
