Chapter 226: Chapter 124: The Child Is His, and Must Bear the Surname "Geoffrey
Taking advantage of Andrew being asleep, Rebecca Quentin sat next to the crib, marking her job search on the newspaper with circles again.
The only jobs she could find now were at night, so the options were few, either a twenty-four-hour fast-food place or a bar, but the pay was high.
Seeing the high pay, Rebecca Quentin decided to go for an interview at the circled places when Christine Quinn took a break.
Anyway, making money is the most important thing!!
Ding dong――
A sudden doorbell rang.
Rebecca Quentin put down the newspaper she was holding, instinctively wanting to go downstairs to open the door, but when she realized who it might be, she guardedly walked to the window and lifted the curtain to peek down.
It really was him!
Jason Wood was pressing the doorbell, while he was making a call.
Rebecca Quentin naturally didn’t want to open the door, so she pretended no one was home, letting the doorbell ring.
Not sure how long it took, but the ringing finally stopped, and Rebecca Quentin couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Won’t even open the door for me when you’re home?"
A familiar cold male voice came, and Rebecca Quentin abruptly looked at the door, the newspaper slipping from her hand.
Howard Geoffrey’s tall figure stood in the doorway, his black eyes slyly staring at her.
Rebecca Quentin stood up, blocking the crib, "How did you get in?"
Howard Geoffrey held a string of keys with his finger, casually saying, "A little money, and the landlady couldn’t wait to bring me the spare key."
Rebecca Quentin furiously exclaimed, "You... it’s all that money-grubbing landlady’s fault!!"
Howard Geoffrey glanced around the nursery, "Is this what you set up for him?" The nursery had almost no decorations, just the baby items he had once bought, everything looked so simple.
Thinking Howard Geoffrey was mocking her, Rebecca Quentin calmly retorted, "My child doesn’t need to be that pampered."
Howard Geoffrey wasn’t angered, his black eyes meeting Rebecca Quentin’s calm and clear eyes, "He’s also my child, Becca, that’s a fact you can’t deny no matter how hard you try."
Rebecca Quentin fell silent, after a while she said, "If you stay here, I promise I’ll definitely call your girlfriend and let her know where you are!!"
Howard Geoffrey squinted, gauging her "threat."
Perhaps the two were speaking too loudly, the little guy in the crib started to cry,
Rebecca Quentin instinctively walked to the child, picking him up and gently soothing him, "Baby, don’t cry, good boy..."
"Let me hold him."
Suddenly, Howard Geoffrey’s deep, pleasant voice came from beside her.
Hearing Howard Geoffrey’s seemingly longing voice, Rebecca Quentin held the child tightly, turning her face to look at him, speaking deliberately, "The newspapers say Miss Robinson has been pregnant for more than two months, Howard, soon you’ll have your own child, why do you want to involve yourself with a child that has nothing to do with you?"
Seeing the boss come out from the house, Jason Wood, who had been waiting outside the door, hurried over. "Boss."
Howard Geoffrey’s expression was stern as he strode towards the car, his voice cold as he got inside, "Find out today’s news."
Jason Wood, sitting in the driver’s seat, turned to look at Howard Geoffrey, full of doubt, "News?"
Howard Geoffrey was clearly in a foul mood, casting a cold glance at Jason Wood.
Jason Wood was startled, nervously pulling out his tablet and rapidly opening a webpage.
There was no need for Jason Wood to search hard; the headline on every major news site was the same bold title――
"Skytop CEO’s Girlfriend Two Months Pregnant!"
Following was a series of photos of Alice Robinson wearing sunglasses and a mask entering some upscale private hospital in New York for a pregnancy checkup, concluding with a gossip show host breaking the news of Alice’s two-month pregnancy.
Jason Wood kept his eyes on the tablet screen, a drop of sweat sliding down, then he turned to look at Howard Geoffrey, stammering, "Boss, this news..."
Howard Geoffrey’s gaze was cold and narrowed, his voice frosty, "Call Alice."
"Yes."
Jason Wood nervously dialed Alice Robinson’s number, then handed the phone to Howard Geoffrey once it connected.
Howard Geoffrey leaned back in the seat, his expression cold and dangerous, his sharp eyes staring forward.
"Hi, boyfriend, this seems to be the first time you’ve called me actively since we met," though jokingly complaining, Alice’s mood was delighted, her tone alluring.
Howard Geoffrey casually asked, "Was this news leaked by you?"
