Rebecca Quentin stared blankly at Howard Geoffrey's deeply affectionate dark eyes, speechless. Did she hear him wrong? Why were his words so completely different from what she had imagined?
Did he... did he just say grow old together?
Unable to hold back the sting in her nose, hot tears welled up in Rebecca Quentin's eyes again as she pounded Howard Geoffrey's chest in grievance, tears streaming down uncontrollably, "I won't believe you anymore, I won't... You never truly kept me in your heart, I've already convinced myself not to be entangled with you anymore..."
Howard Geoffrey smiled, allowing Rebecca Quentin to vent on his chest.
"You think you can just say you're not entangled and that's it? With two kids, you can't escape anywhere."
"You..."
As Rebecca Quentin choked on words, Howard Geoffrey, without a word, pulled her into his arms, holding her tightly.
Rebecca Quentin was forced to lean against his embrace, still resisting, "Let go of me, let go..."
