Chapter 204: Chapter 113: She Always Has a Way to Drive Him Crazy (5)
However, after the contemplation of reality and reason, the anger gradually turned into calm.
In the final moment before Rebecca Quentin signed her name, Howard Geoffrey also swiftly signed his own name in his usual manner.
The lawyer immediately exchanged the two documents.
When the agreement that Rebecca Quentin had already signed was placed in front of Howard Geoffrey, the elegant handwriting written with a black pen seemed to be magnified clearly at the bottom of Howard Geoffrey’s deep and inscrutable eyes, starkly noticeable.
Inexplicably, an even greater anger surged within Howard Geoffrey’s chest.
In the next second, they both simultaneously signed their names and pushed the agreement toward the lawyer.
At this moment, their eyes finally met for a brief second.
On Howard Geoffrey’s familiar face was an expression that Rebecca Quentin did not recognize.
Rebecca Quentin was the first to look away, and said plainly, "Lawyer, is the procedure completed?"
The lawyer nodded and solemnly stood up, "I declare the agreement officially effective at this moment."
Rebecca Quentin stood up at this moment as well, not turning back to look at Howard Geoffrey, and directly turned away.
The lawyer quietly exited the room.
As Rebecca Quentin stepped onto the stairs leading to the second floor, Howard Geoffrey’s deep voice suddenly called from behind her, "Wait."
Rebecca Quentin’s body paused.
Howard Geoffrey didn’t say anything further, but at that moment, Rebecca Quentin heard sounds of moving and lifting behind her.
Reluctantly turning around, Rebecca Quentin was astonished to see several workers carrying in a baby crib, stroller, diapers, baby clothes, toys, bath ring... a whole series of baby items into the room.
Watching these rapidly piling baby items, Rebecca Quentin froze in place. Did he really bring everything from a whole baby store?
The workers went in and out several times before they finished moving all the categorized baby items.
Oh my, just the baby cribs alone were four or five, seemingly meant for different ages.
Suddenly, Howard Geoffrey placed a simple massager in front of Rebecca Quentin.
"Your legs will swell in the later stages of pregnancy, this massager can help relieve that," Howard Geoffrey explained awkwardly.
Taking advantage of Rebecca Quentin’s dazed moment, Howard Geoffrey added, "It’s for the child."
Why did he have to explain?
She knew it couldn’t possibly be for her, didn’t she?
Rebecca Quentin stubbornly said, "I’ll buy the child’s things myself."
Howard Geoffrey gave her a disdainful look and said, "With what money?"
"I said I would go earn some money."
"Well, speak about it when you’ve earned the money," leaving these words behind, Howard Geoffrey walked toward the cribs.
There were two more children’s beds that the child could sleep in once they were older, waiting to be assembled. Howard Geoffrey suddenly said, "Come over."
In this room, there were only Rebecca Quentin and Howard Geoffrey, so naturally, Howard Geoffrey was speaking to Rebecca Quentin.
After hesitating for a few seconds, Rebecca Quentin walked over to Howard Geoffrey’s side.
Howard Geoffrey handed the assembly instructions to Rebecca Quentin and coolly said, "Take a look. Let me know honestly if you can assemble it."
Rebecca Quentin took the instructions, glanced at the complex diagrams, and shook her head after a moment, "I can’t do it."
Howard Geoffrey sneered, "You can’t even figure out something this simple?"
Do you think everyone is as smart as you? Besides, assembling things isn’t usually a forte for women.
At the moment Rebecca Quentin was griping internally, Howard Geoffrey took the instructions from her hand, looked at them briefly, and asked, "Is there a nursery set aside for the child?"
"The houses are all rented, there’s no nursery!" Rebecca Quentin muttered.
Howard Geoffrey glanced at her coldly, his thin lips tightly pursed.
"I’ll prepare a nursery for him in the future," Rebecca Quentin added softly with her head lowered.
Howard Geoffrey suddenly rolled up the sleeves of his expensive shirt, squatted down, and began assembling the children’s beds.
Rebecca Quentin was stunned by the scene before her.
She never knew he would personally do something so laborious, his time has always been extremely valuable.
Indeed, his extraordinary intelligence showed through. It seemed this was his first time assembling children’s beds, and with a few quick moves, without even looking at the diagrams again, he had assembled both beds in less than twenty minutes.
Gazing at the two brand-new children’s beds, Rebecca Quentin couldn’t help but fix her gaze on Howard Geoffrey’s handsome face.
Even when doing such heavy work, he showed no trace of embarrassment, always maintaining a composed demeanor, only the slight sweat on his forehead revealed he had exerted himself just now.
"Try it, as long as it doesn’t shake, it’s fine," Howard Geoffrey dropped this sentence to Rebecca Quentin and turned into the bathroom.
Rebecca Quentin obediently tried it, finding it to be very sturdy.
Howard Geoffrey came out of the bathroom just in time to see Rebecca Quentin’s hand resting on the children’s bed, clearly reluctant to let it go.
