Chapter 209: Chapter 115: His Wedding Day Is Her Due Date (Part 1)
"Marie..." Christine Quinn’s tone became heavier.
Howard Geoffrey withdrew his gaze from Becca’s face and hoarsely replied to Marilyn, "Then Uncle Geoffrey will stay with Marie for a few more days."
"Yay, Uncle Geoffrey is the best!" Marilyn Quinn gave Howard Geoffrey a smack on the cheek.
Christine Quinn was speechless.
Slam!
The sound of utensils being placed down unhappily could be heard.
Becca stood up at that moment.
Christine Quinn asked, "Becca, are you full already?"
"Yeah, sis, take your time eating. I’m going back to rest in my room."
Christine Quinn’s peripheral vision stayed on Howard Geoffrey’s face, and she nodded at Becca.
The subtle changes on Howard Geoffrey’s handsome face naturally went unnoticed, so Christine Quinn couldn’t detect anything unusual.
After Becca returned to her room, Christine Quinn looked at Howard Geoffrey and spoke, "I’ve already used your money to buy this house. Later, I’ll hire someone to decorate a nursery."
Howard Geoffrey responded indifferently, "Okay."
"Uncle Geoffrey..." Marilyn suddenly called out.
Facing the child, Howard Geoffrey shed his irritability and spoke softly, "Yes?"
"Mommy said Auntie has a baby in her tummy... But Auntie doesn’t have a boyfriend, so why does she have a baby?"
Even the always capable Howard Geoffrey was at a loss for words.
The next day.
Today is Becca’s five-month prenatal check-up.
Thinking about hearing the doctor talk about the baby’s growth today, Becca was very excited.
Without waiting for Marilyn to call at the door, Becca was already downstairs from the second floor.
Christine Quinn had already prepared breakfast. Seeing Becca in such a good mood, she couldn’t help but tease, "You know, someone comes, and your mood instantly gets better. Too bad someone didn’t stay last night!"
"Sis, you’re thinking too much. I just want to go to the hospital early." Becca mumbled.
Christine Quinn tapped her head, "Oh, I forgot. You’re going for the prenatal check-up today!"
Christine Quinn opened the door.
Becca felt a bit embarrassed and said, "Sis, I can handle it myself. Don’t you have a job interview today?"
Christine Quinn answered earnestly, "I can go to the interview another time, but I don’t feel comfortable with you going to the check-up alone."
Becca muttered, "It’s not far."
Christine Quinn widened her eyes, "I know, but I’m insisting."
"Alright then..."
"Careful with the steps, big belly lady."
"Okay."
Christine Quinn supported Becca as they stepped down from the entrance stairs when a car horn sounded.
The two women looked towards the direction of the sound simultaneously.
They saw a luxury car with a subtle brand driving towards them, abruptly stopping in front of them.
The window rolled down, revealing Howard Geoffrey’s striking face.
Christine Quinn suddenly let go of Becca’s hand, patted her, and said, "OK, it looks like I can go to the interview after all. You have company today."
Christine Quinn turned to leave.
Howard Geoffrey’s proud figure had already gotten out of the car, but Becca completely ignored him and walked straight ahead.
"Stop!"
Seeing her ignoring him, displeasure showed on Howard Geoffrey’s face.
Becca continued forward without pause.
"Damn it!"
Cursing, Howard Geoffrey took two strides in three steps and grabbed Becca’s hand.
Becca had no choice but to stop her steps, raising her hand to shake him off, "Let go of me!"
Howard Geoffrey used his long arms to encircle Becca instead, his gaze hawk-like as he stared at her indifferent face, "Can’t you talk to me properly, just once?"
Becca said irritably, "There’s nothing I want to say to you."
Howard Geoffrey, losing patience, spoke coldly, "Then we’ll stay here till it’s resolved!!"
"Let go of me!" Becca struggled in Howard Geoffrey’s arms.
Watching the petite figure twisting in his embrace, Howard Geoffrey frowned, "If you’re not afraid of losing the baby like this, then keep moving."
"You..."
Becca glared coldly at Howard Geoffrey and, considering his warning, gradually stopped her struggle.
Several passersby cast glances at the entanglement between the two.
"Let me go, a lot of people are watching!!" Feeling the neighbors’ inquisitive looks on them, Becca whispered.
Howard Geoffrey nonchalantly replied, "I don’t care."
"I care!!" Please, as a single pregnant woman moving to this small town, she just wanted a peaceful life without inciting gossip.
Howard Geoffrey squinted, assessing her stubbornness, his tone calm yet filled with an unyielding patience to see things through, "So do you want to get in the car or not?"
Becca lowered her head and coldly said, "I know my way!"
"Since that’s the case..." Howard Geoffrey spoke slowly.
Before Becca could react.
Howard Geoffrey had already unexpectedly pressed his lips against hers.
"Mmm..."
Her lips were sealed, and because he held on tighter, she couldn’t move an inch.
It was as if he hadn’t felt such an urge in a long time. Like a child finally allowed to have sweets, he lingered, sucking on her lips.
Becca, powerless to endure such an action, could only place her hands against his chest.
But unexpectedly, Howard Geoffrey freed one hand to remove her hand from his chest, interlocking their fingers, and continued rubbing and nibbling unrelentingly.
Every time Becca tried hard to break free from his hand, his strong force subdued her.
It was like a war, the natural difference in strength ultimately led to her downfall.
When he reluctantly withdrew from her lips, her body trembled slightly.
He looked at her plump, swollen lips, and instinctively had the most primal male reaction.
From last night to today, being forcibly kissed twice in a row made Becca both ashamed and angry. She raised her hand to give a slap.
Howard Geoffrey promptly caught her hand, his eyes colored with desire as he tightly watched her angry, embarrassed face.
"Let me go, you bastard!!"
Becca was so angry she was close to tears.
Howard Geoffrey’s tone was gentle, "Behave, and I’ll let go."
Becca looked at her hand tightly held by Howard Geoffrey, bit her lip, and said, "Do whatever you want, but let go!"
Howard Geoffrey finally slowly released Becca.
Becca angrily wiped away the traces he left on her lips.
Now calm, Howard Geoffrey spoke without anger, "So, are you getting in the car or not?"
