Contract Marriage: Abusive Love with Mr.CEO-Chapter 653 - 340: Forgive My Selfishness (Part 2)
My heart aches, especially when I think about how you care more about other women than you do about me, it hurts so much I can’t breathe...
I don’t know why you kept your affair with Alice from me. Actually, as long as you’re willing to explain it to me, no matter the blow, I can handle it. But I don’t want to question you and humiliate myself...
Anyway, take care.
Getting up, dressing, and taking one last deep look at the man deeply asleep on the bed from the previous night’s exertion, Rebecca Quentin quietly twisted the doorknob and left.
What Rebecca didn’t know was that at the moment she got up, the person on the bed was already awake, and as she closed the door to leave, he slowly opened his dim black eyes.
When Rebecca arrived at the garden, Christine Quinn was already waiting there.
"Becca!"
"Sister."
Christine glanced around, "Were you seen?"
Rebecca nodded, "I deliberately avoided the servants."
Christine sighed with relief, "Glad it went smoothly, I was worried all night."
Rebecca looked at Andrew, who was sleeping soundly in Christine’s arms, and gratefully said in a hoarse voice, "Sister, thank you."
"Hurry... I took Andrew out while the servant went to the bathroom, once the servant returns and doesn’t see him, there will surely be an uproar in the Geoffrey household."
"Yes, let’s go!"
"Is your leg alright?"
"It’s fine."
"The driver is already waiting at the gate... As soon as we’re in the car, he’ll take us straight to the airport... Don’t worry, even if Howard Geoffrey comes after us, he won’t know where we are going..."
"Alright."
Rebecca directly had the villa gatekeeper open the door. Although the gatekeeper was a bit surprised that Rebecca wanted to go out so early, he didn’t dare disobey.
Upon leaving the villa, just as Christine said, a yellow taxi was already parked there.
Christine carefully held Andrew and got into the car while Rebecca also climbed into the vehicle without hesitation.
The taxi started attentively, gradually moving away from the villa...
Turning to look at the Geoffrey household receding into the distance, Christine finally let out a long sigh of relief.
Rebecca never looked back; upon getting in the car, her expression remained calm, though her eyes had a hint of sadness.
Christine curiously asked, "How did you manage to get out?"
"He was asleep."
Christine soothingly replied, "Since you’ve made your decision, don’t regret it."
Rebecca nodded slightly, looking at the flushed little face in Christine’s arms, she whispered, "I just worry that when Andrew wakes up, he’ll fuss about wanting his grandma and... Howard Geoffrey."
"He’ll definitely fuss, so be prepared, but it’ll get better with time since Andrew doesn’t really have memories yet."
Rebecca slightly lowered her gaze, "I’m also worried about Madam Geoffrey... If she wakes up to find out Andrew is gone, she’ll be very upset."
Christine softly sighed, "The poor old lady will have to suffer."
Rebecca closed her eyes heavily, then looked out the car window.
"There’s some time until we reach the airport, take a nap, you look exhausted."
"Okay."
Rebecca closed her eyes and leaned back against the seat.
Seeing Rebecca’s tired and haggard state, Christine couldn’t help but feel heartbroken.
Time quietly passed, Rebecca kept her eyes closed, unable to sleep despite her exhaustion.
Even if she’s been hurt to despair, in this moment she can’t help but think of him.
Her heart clenched, and the suffocating pain spread within her body, her chest filled with bitterness and sorrow.
Howard Geoffrey, I’m sorry...
She broke her promise to you, failing to stay with you into old age.
I had thought that no matter what, I wouldn’t be separated from you in this lifetime, and wouldn’t bother you about never putting me first in your heart.
I tried and made an effort, but in the end, you never considered my feelings, not from the beginning nor the end.
After deliberation, I decided to leave you.
Maybe you’ll feel lost, disappointed, or even hate me, but with time, you’ll eventually forget me, after all, I was never the most important part of your life.
Also, I’m very sorry for taking Andrew. I know this will anger you, but I hope you understand that you have your mother, your brother, so many good friends, and your business empire, while I have nothing, only Andrew... I hope you can understand my heart as a mother.
Don’t try to find me, and please sort out your own feelings. Winning or losing has never been the most important thing in this world.
Do you remember when you came back to find me in M City? That will be my most beautiful memory in this lifetime.
Thank you for all the memories you’ve given me.
Goodbye!
—Rebecca Quentin.
Looking at the letter she wrote a few days ago on the nightstand, Howard Geoffrey clenched it into a ball and threw it afar.
He couldn’t believe she just left like that...
If he wasn’t vigilant enough, he might have really lost her forever.
"Howie..."
His mother’s urgent voice came from outside.
Howard opened the door to see his mother anxiously, "Becca took Andrew away!"
Howard remained silent.
Mrs. Geoffrey, her eyes red, said, "Just now the servant hurried to my room, saying she went to the bathroom and when she returned, Andrew was gone... I checked around and heard from the gatekeeper that Becca and Christine took Andrew early this morning..."
Howard gently supported his mother, his rough voice steady and low, "Mom, don’t worry, I’ll handle it."
Mrs. Geoffrey angrily pounded on Howard, "You must have driven Becca away... No wonder she hasn’t wanted to talk much to you these days, tell me what exactly did you do to her?"
"Mom, calm down."
"How can I calm down? Such a good wife, and you let her go..."
"I’ll bring her back."
Mrs. Geoffrey’s angry glare brightened with a glimmer of hope, "Really?"
Howard nodded, "How could I let her leave me?"
"Then go after her... If you don’t find her, don’t bother coming back!!"
Howard wore a dark expression.
