Contract Marriage: Abusive Love with Mr.CEO-Chapter 443 - 234: He Wants Her to Come to Him (1)
At this moment, facing his aggressive gaze, Rebecca Quentin suddenly turned around.
Seeing her about to leave, he suddenly grabbed her weakened shoulder and questioned, "What, you come and go as you please, does ’Skytop’ really welcome you like this?"
Rebecca Quentin’s body was forced to halt.
Once again, Howard Geoffrey blocked her path, glaring at her with sharp black eyes.
He didn’t know why he felt so uneasy watching her leave, but when he saw her determined look while blocking her path, he couldn’t help but let harsher words out of his mouth, "You keep appearing in front of me with one excuse after another. Do you really think I still can’t forget about you?"
His accusations were exactly the same as those in France, making her feel humiliated without sparing sensibilities.
Rebecca Quentin lifted her pale and colorless face, meeting his sharp gaze, and sincerely said, "Howard Geoffrey, I know you won’t believe me, but I still want to explain... That time in France, when I went to your hotel, I think you knew I was set up. As for coming to see you today, I really just wanted to find out the truth about my father’s death; I have no malice toward you, nor was I purposely appearing before you to verify if you still can’t forget about me... Actually, ever since we parted ways, I’ve been hoping we could both start anew. Knowing you have a new relationship, I’m happy for you too. I never intended to disrupt your peaceful life..."
Howard Geoffrey suddenly tightened his grip on her shoulder, "Don’t throw away your negligible feelings only to later blame the infidelity on me, hypocrite!!" He was constantly irritated facing her.
She stood silently in place.
Howard Geoffrey glared at her fiercely, with eyes red from anger, spitting out even harsher words, "Also, if we talk about infidelity, your closeness with ’Doctor Robinson’ seems just as much as ours..."
Rebecca Quentin did not defend herself, letting his anger burst forth.
In the next second, Howard Geoffrey pushed Rebecca Quentin away in disgust, gritting his teeth as he spat out, "Get out, don’t let me see you again; next time, I won’t be as kind as now..."
Rebecca Quentin remained silent, watching his cold figure walk toward the floor-to-ceiling window.
"Jason Wood."
"Yes." Jason Wood rushed in from outside.
With his back turned, Howard Geoffrey said coldly, "Inform the company’s security that from now on random strangers are not allowed to step into the company."
"Uh... yes."
"Get her out!"
Everyone knew who Howard Geoffrey meant by random strangers at the moment...
Jason Wood helplessly walked in front of Rebecca Quentin, making a gesture for her to leave.
Rebecca Quentin turned, not wanting to make things difficult for Jason Wood, and walked out of his office by herself.
While waiting for a taxi by the roadside, Rebecca Quentin’s phone in her bag suddenly rang.
The ringing broke Rebecca Quentin’s trance, and she collected herself, wiped the corners of her eyes, and pressed the answer key, "Doctor Robinson."
From the phone came Chester Robinson’s usual caring tone, "Becca, we scheduled a time for these next two days, when are you coming to the hospital?"
Rebecca Quentin replied apologetically, "Sorry, I might not have time in the next two days, my sister is here."
"Dr. Averill, whom I specifically invited from New York, is already here. He’s an authority in this field. If you don’t want to give up on your health, you’d better find time to come to the hospital in the next two days!"
"Doctor Robinson, I..."
"Enough, I have to go into surgery now... You come to the hospital as soon as you can, and by the way, if you don’t, I will personally bring you here!"
"..."
Before Rebecca Quentin could speak, Chester Robinson had already ended the call.
Rebecca Quentin took a taxi back home.
As soon as she opened the door, Christine Quinn came to greet her.
"How did it go, how did it go?"
After changing her shoes, Rebecca Quentin replied, "He didn’t tell me directly."
"So, there really is more to the story!!"
Rebecca Quentin didn’t respond, heading straight to her room.
Christine Quinn followed her in, and seeing Rebecca Quentin lying down on the bed, she sat on the edge and asked concernedly, "Since there’s more to it, did you explain it to him clearly?"
Rebecca Quentin stared at the ceiling and shook her head.
Christine Quinn furrowed her brows, "Why?"
"Sis... Actually, I no longer want to dig into this."
Christine Quinn froze.
Rebecca Quentin’s eyes, filled with dejection, remained fixed on the ceiling as she quietly said, "When I used our relationship as a tribute to my father’s death, the grudges of the previous generation were already evened out between him and me... So, whether the instigator was him or old Mrs. Geoffrey, it doesn’t matter anymore."
Rebecca Quentin’s calm and steady tone made Christine Quinn worried, "Becca, did he say something unpleasant to you?"
Rebecca Quentin slowly closed her eyes, and softly said, "Sis, it doesn’t matter whether his words were pleasant or not anymore. What’s between us is over... I’m a bit tired, I want to take a nap."
"Becca..."
"Sis, let’s not speak of him anymore in the future..." Rebecca Quentin interrupted Christine Quinn, her eyes closed, and pleaded.
Christine Quinn wanted to say something more, but seeing Rebecca Quentin’s weary look, she swallowed her words. "Alright, have a good sleep..."
Covering Rebecca Quentin with a blanket, Christine Quinn got up.
"Sis..."
When Christine Quinn was about to step out of the room, Rebecca Quentin suddenly called out.
Christine Quinn turned around, "Yes?"
"Don’t go find him."
Christine Quinn was taken aback, not expecting Rebecca Quentin to have guessed her thoughts.
Rebecca Quentin still had her heavy eyelids closed as she quietly said, "Let him have a better life!"
"Huh?" Christine Quinn looked puzzled.
"These years, I believe he’s tired too..."
Rebecca Quentin’s words made Christine Quinn stand there in a daze.
After a long time, Christine Quinn heaved a heavy sigh, "Sis, I promise you I won’t mention Howard Geoffrey again."
The next day.
"Sis, sis..."
Christine Quinn was still in bed sleeping when she was pulled up by Rebecca Quentin.
Christine Quinn opened her blurry eyes, looking at the well-dressed Rebecca Quentin, and asked, "What’s up?"
Rebecca Quentin walked to the window, opened the curtains, and smiled, "Look, the weather is so good today, let’s go shopping!"
