In the end, she didn’t even know how she returned to her room; all she knew was that she had just laid down, and in her dazed state, someone clung to her once more... In the dark, she vaguely heard him murmur near her ear, "Becca, one more time..." She didn’t even need to mention the soreness in her waist and legs; today, Rebecca Quentin didn’t even have the strength to get out of bed. So, nearing noon, when Howard Geoffrey, showing no sign of having been up all night, stood in front of the mirror wearing a shirt and tying his tie, Rebecca Quentin just snuggled under the covers, revealing only her eyes to watch him. After getting dressed, Howard Geoffrey sat on the edge of the bed, lightly tapped her charming behind, and indulged her, "Time to get up, I’ll take you to lunch." Rebecca Quentin pitifully clutched the quilt, saying, "I don’t want to eat, I want to sleep." "Alright, if you get hungry, just call room service, I’ll tell them to cook what you love." "I need to go to the company this afternoon. Stay in the room and wait for me to come back." Howard Geoffrey got up. Rebecca Quentin, however, reached out to grab him at this moment. Howard Geoffrey leaned over, "What’s the matter? Want me to carry you to the shower?" Rebecca Quentin shook her head. "Are you feeling unwell?" Rebecca Quentin continued to shake her head, looked at him, and raised her arms to encircle his neck. Howard Geoffrey turned back to hug her, "Is there something you want to tell me?" Rebecca Quentin deeply gazed at Howard Geoffrey’s handsome face, as if afraid everything she currently had was unreal. She seriously asked him, "Howard Geoffrey, you can’t let me down again. If you really do, I’m afraid I won’t be able to handle it." "Silly girl, thinking nonsense right in the morning... How about I stay at the hotel with you?" Rebecca Quentin shook her head, "No need, go do your work. I just want to stay here and sleep..." Women are prone to overthinking; she wasn’t so fragile to need comfort. "Alright, I’ll come back early." Before leaving, Howard Geoffrey didn’t forget to kiss Rebecca Quentin’s forehead. After Howard Geoffrey left, Rebecca Quentin initially intended to catch up on sleep. Who would have thought her phone would ring at this moment? Helplessly groping for her phone, Rebecca Quentin answered it with her eyes closed, "Hello..." The warm voice belonging to Mrs. Geoffrey entered Rebecca Quentin’s ears, making her eyes widen as she sat up, seemingly forgetting her body aches, leaning against the bedhead, and speaking with much respect, "Auntie." "Am I disturbing your sleep?" It was almost noon, and for Mrs. Geoffrey to ask this... clearly, she understood the young people’s world. "Uh, no... not at all, I’ve been awake for a while, just watching TV now!" It was truly awkward; she really wasn’t honest enough to answer frankly. "Haha..." Mrs. Geoffrey chuckled knowingly, "Is Howard not with you now?" "He went to the office." It seemed like Auntie knew everything already. "That child, doesn’t he know to spend more time with you? If he keeps being preoccupied with work, and you run away again, I won’t acknowledge him as my son anymore!" Rebecca Quentin was amused by Mrs. Geoffrey’s words and couldn’t help but defend Howard Geoffrey, "He said he’d stay at the hotel with me, but I didn’t let him." "See, already know how to speak up for your husband..." Rebecca Quentin’s face turned red at Mrs. Geoffrey’s words. Seemingly aware of Rebecca Quentin’s expression, Mrs. Geoffrey laughed and said, "Alright, I know you’re shy, Auntie won’t tease you... I called to ask when you’ll be coming back to the States, I really want to see you." "Howard said he’d stay in T City for a while, I don’t know when he’ll return to the States." "That’s fine too, you and Howard have a good time there. It’d be best if you bring me good news when you come back to the States..." Rebecca Quentin didn’t react at first, but then recalled the conversation Howard had with Mrs. Geoffrey on the island, and finally realized, but didn’t know how to respond. Honestly, she didn’t want one just yet; there were still some unresolved issues between her and Howard that she needed to slowly sort out with him, and besides, the incident of losing the child four years ago remained an indelible shadow and pain in her heart. She hoped that if there were to be a child again, it would grow up in a complete family, not like four years ago when it was not the right time. Seeing Rebecca Quentin’s lack of response, Mrs. Geoffrey thought young people liked having more time to themselves and understandingly said, "Auntie doesn’t mean you should have a child with Howard right away, just hoping that if you do, you’ll keep it. Auntie’s eagerly waiting for a grandchild!" Rebecca Quentin nodded and agreed, "Hmm." After ending the call with Mrs. Geoffrey, Rebecca Quentin’s previously sleepy mind was now restless again, so she leaned against the bedhead, debating whether to call Howard Geoffrey. She really was useless; he had just left not long ago, and she already missed him, wanting to know what he was doing at that moment. After hesitating, she restrained herself from calling him, guessing he might be busy with work, and he didn’t like being disturbed when handling business. Thinking of this, Rebecca Quentin planned to force herself to sleep. However, today turned out to be a bustling morning, as just when she was about to feel drowsy again, her phone rang. Upon glimpsing the number displayed on the phone screen, she completely lost her sleepiness, sitting on the bed and unsure for a while whether to answer the call or not. It wasn’t that she was afraid to face this person, just that deep down, she felt endless guilt towards him and feared she might have already hurt him. In a moment, Rebecca Quentin still pressed the answer key, "Hello." "Becca, do you have time to come out for a coffee with me?" On the phone, it was Skyler Jones’s usual gentle voice. Rebecca Quentin couldn’t refuse and agreed. "Okay, where are you?" "I’m at the hotel where we met for the first time, I can drive over to pick you up." "No need, I’m right at this hotel now, I’ll come down!" If Skyler Jones hadn’t mentioned it, Rebecca Quentin would have almost forgotten that her first meeting with Skyler Jones was at this hotel. At the time, she was working part-time at a modeling agency, and the government held a business gala at this hotel. That night, she almost mistook Skyler Jones for Howard Geoffrey, and by accident, she got to know Skyler Jones. When Rebecca Quentin arrived at the hotel café, Skyler Jones was already sitting in a quiet spot by the window, seemingly having ordered her a coffee, which was steaming hot on the table.
