Chapter 229: Chapter 125: The Ill-Fated Relationship Between Sister Quinn and Mr. Jones 1_2
At this moment, her heart was truly in pain. Recalling the past was like mercilessly tearing open a wound that hadn’t fully healed.
Howard Geoffrey fell silent.
Rebecca Quentin turned her face to the side, sniffed, then calmly looked at him, "Just tell me directly, what do I have to do so that you won’t change the child’s name?" It’s important to know that in the future, the child’s registration will be based on the birth certificate, so the name on that certificate will be the child’s name. If the child really bears the surname ’Geoffrey’, how will she explain this surname to the child in the future?
Howard Geoffrey pondered quietly.
Given her character, it wouldn’t be possible for her to accept him anytime soon, especially now when she had no desire to hear his explanations...
The only way now was to proceed according to what he had planned before, gradually... No matter how difficult it was, he wouldn’t let her leave his side again.
"Alright..." Howard Geoffrey glanced sidelong at her, "Then I won’t beat around the bush... You should know that we’ve had no news from my brother since he went missing, it’s been over six months. My mom has been worried about him. You are the only person who can contact him and get him to show up, so I want you to persuade him to appear."
So, it was for Mr. Jones again.
Actually, even if he hadn’t asked, she would plan to contact Mr. Jones soon.
Previously, due to the pregnancy and giving birth, she hadn’t had the time to manage other things, but now she must deal with this matter, because she didn’t want her sister to delay any longer.
"Alright, I will try to make it happen, and please keep your promise." There was no reason for her not to agree to something that could be mutually beneficial.
Rebecca Quentin didn’t know that Howard Geoffrey wanted her to lure out Skyler Jones, not just for Mrs. Geoffrey, but also so Skyler Jones could quickly resolve his complex and unresolved situation with Christine Quinn. Most importantly, as long as Skyler Jones appeared, Christine Quinn might not have time to interfere between him and Rebecca Quentin.
Without saying more, Howard Geoffrey opened the car door and got into the vehicle.
Nighttime.
After showering in the hotel’s rundown bathroom, Howard Geoffrey stepped out feeling refreshed.
The mood after a shower should have been good, but having to face this empty room and that cold bed once more, Howard Geoffrey suddenly lost his spirit. He went to the bedside, habitually picking up the phone on the nightstand.
Originally, he just wanted to see what she was doing at that moment, but what he saw upon opening the video made his breath tighten...
She was actually undressing.
Under the dim amber light, she took off her top, leaving only her undergarments.
She let down the hair she had tied up for convenience in caring for the child, and her shiny black hair cascaded down.
The dim lighting cast upon her skin, which was as smooth as cream.
Such a scene was enough to make his blood surge...
Immediately after, she reached behind her back to undo her bra clasp.
She was wearing black lace lingerie today.
She favored lace, so most of her lingerie was lace, generally in black or white.
The camera captured her from behind, so when she removed her bra, he could only see her creamy back and the slender waist that could be held with one hand.
Her figure was just like before...
Even after giving birth, she was still perfectly flawless.
His body responded easily to such a scene, with flashes of memories of their previous tender moments...
He watched intently, wishing he could throw her onto the big bed behind her this very moment...
At the same time, after her shower, Rebecca Quentin was applying postpartum recovery ointment on her waist to help her uterus contract and her body recover.
Although her figure hadn’t changed much, there were still some aftereffects, like a belly that hadn’t fully shrunk and slightly sagging breasts...
She needed these health products to keep her skin tight to prevent these issues from troubling her future figure.
Knock, knock――
The sound of knocking came.
"Coming."
Putting on her clothes again, Rebecca Quentin opened the door.
Christine Quinn stood there, holding the already asleep little Andy, and whispered, "I’ve coaxed him to sleep..."
Rebecca Quentin gently took him and kissed the little guy’s rosy soft cheek as he slept, "They say babies at this age sleep a lot, but he wants to play with someone, only sleeping now. He’s such a little rascal..."
Christine Quinn chuckled, "Did you think taking care of a baby would be that easy?"
"Sister, it’s hard on you, coming home from work and still helping me soothe the baby," Rebecca Quentin said apologetically.
Christine Quinn shot her sister a look, "My job is clerical, not tiring at all... It’s you who’s busy all day with the baby. If it weren’t for the bit of free time when I come back, you probably wouldn’t even have time to take a bath and change clothes."
"Heh..." No matter how tiring it was, it was worth it for the child.
"Alright, I know you’re willing to do anything for the child... Get some rest early, I’m going back to my room to take a shower."
"Sister!!"
Christine Quinn turned back, "Hmm?"
Rebecca Quentin spoke slowly, "Since Andy is asleep, I wanted to chat with you."
"Sure."
"Come in and have a seat."
Rebecca Quentin and Christine Quinn sat at the bedside chatting, while little Andy slept soundly in the crib.
"Becca, what’s up?" Christine Quinn spoke first.
"Sister, I’m twenty-seven now, and I remember you telling me you were two years older than me, which means you’re almost..."
Christine Quinn jokingly interrupted, "Why discuss such a sad topic, a woman’s age should be a secret."
"No, sister, there’s something I want to tell you."
"Hmm?"
"I’ve contacted Mr. Jones."
Mentioning that person, Christine Quinn’s previously smiling face instantly turned somewhat stiff.
"Becca, it’s quite late, and Marie can’t sleep without me..."
Rebecca Quentin held Christine Quinn back as she was about to stand, and said earnestly, "Sister, you can’t keep avoiding this issue..."
Christine Quinn was forced to sit back down, the smile gone from her face, her expression pale and stiff, "I’m not avoiding it, but there’s no need to bring up that person now, my life has nothing to do with him."
"But he’s Marie’s father."
"He’s not, Marie is mine alone."
"Sister, no matter how much you deny it, the fact of the blood relationship is already established."
Christine Quinn shook her head, "What does a blood relationship matter? Just like you and Howard Geoffrey, little Andy is your child, so why do you also avoid letting little Andy have ties with Howard Geoffrey?"
