Skyler Jones suddenly wrapped his arm around Christine Quinn’s waist, pulling her close, "Am I inconsiderate?"

Christine Quinn pretended to seriously look him up and down, "Can’t see it anywhere―― you have taste."

Skyler Jones suddenly buried his head in Christine Quinn’s neck and gently nibbled...

"Ah!" Christine Quinn cried out in pain, "That hurts!"

He softly kissed her neck, his magnetic voice carried a hint of domineering threat, "Do you still dare say I have no taste?"

Christine Quinn quickly begged for mercy, "I dare not..."

Skyler Jones slowly kissed from Christine Quinn’s neck to her lips...

Kissing him in a place like the hall was supposed to be something that was quite embarrassing, but as soon as his lips touched hers, her body softened like cotton candy...

He wrapped his arm around her waist while she clung to his neck, deeply kissing each other.

His kiss was fervent and intense, the temperature of his body gradually rising...

She mirrored his desire, feeling like she was floating on the clouds, completely losing herself.

But just when the passion reached its peak, he suddenly released her.

Christine Quinn went limp against Skyler Jones’s embrace.

Skyler Jones kissed Christine Quinn’s forehead lightly, his voice hoarse, "If this continues, I won’t be able to control myself..."

Christine Quinn, stirred by desire, gazed at Skyler Jones.

Skyler Jones pecked her lips again, "Don’t look at me like that, I’m afraid I won’t be able to control myself..." As he spoke, he embraced her tightly.

To prevent his mind from dwelling on things that shouldn’t be thought of at this moment, Skyler Jones immediately changed the topic, "Speaking of which, I’ve had Ernie arrange my work schedule, I won’t be going to the company for the next few months..."

"Why? Got so used to staying at home that you even gave up being a CEO?"

"No, I want to take you on a trip."

"A trip?" Christine Quinn looked up from Skyler Jones’s chest in shock, "Why did you suddenly think of taking me on a trip?"

"I remember you mentioned a lot of places you want to visit, like seeing the lavender in Provence, the windmills in the Netherlands, and visiting the Florence Cathedral for its sanctity..."

Christine Quinn’s body shuddered slightly, "You... you remember?"

Skyler Jones looked at her tenderly, "Of course I remember, I remember everything you said."

Thirteen years ago, she once complained that he was too busy with work to take her out, so he promised to take her to these places someday...

She thought he was just appeasing her at the time, never expecting he would still remember the places she wanted to visit...

Suddenly, her nose felt sour, and Christine Quinn bit her lip lightly.

Seeing a trace of sadness flash in her eyes, he cupped her face, asking gently, "Why have your eyes suddenly turned red?"

"I feel that you are very good to me."

Skyler Jones dotingly tapped her cute nose, "Silly girl... a little bit of sweetness and you’re satisfied. Have you forgotten how much I still owe you?"

"To the Florence Cathedral in Italy?"

"Yes, didn’t you say it’s the most sacred place?"

Christine Quinn nodded.

Skyler Jones smiled and said, "I’ll take you to all the places you want to visit. When you’re tired, we’ll have our wedding at the Florence Cathedral in Italy..."

"Wedding?"

"I haven’t given you a formal proposal, at least I should give you a grand wedding."

In his eyes, she saw his dreams for the future, he seemed like a child, excitedly talking to her about a beautiful future...

Her eyes suddenly grew moist, two large teardrops slid from her eyes.

"What’s wrong?" He sat up in tension, holding her in his arms, "Why did you suddenly start crying?" He tenderly wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes, so thoughtful and gentle.

Her tearful eyes gazed deeply into his, after what felt like an eternity, she finally parted her trembling lips, lowering her head to rasp out, "Oversky, I’m afraid I can’t go to those places, nor can I have a wedding in Italy..."

Skyler Jones sensitively furrowed his brows, "Why?"

Christine Quinn shook her head in sadness, "I’m sorry, I didn’t tell you, my health has already deteriorated..."

As Christine Quinn was speaking, suddenly, there was a phone ringing.

Skyler Jones didn’t pay attention to the phone but asked Christine Quinn nervously, "What’s wrong with your health? What did you mean?"

Maybe the ringing put Christine Quinn out of her sorrow for a moment, allowing her rationality to slightly return to reality, she looked into Skyler Jones’s face, revealing worry, and the words she wanted to say suddenly became stuck in her throat.

"Christine..."

"Uh, Oversky, my phone is ringing, can you bring me my phone?"

"What were you going to tell me just now?"

"I... " Christine Quinn still hesitated.

Skyler Jones gazed at her fixedly, his frown deepening.

"I’ll tell you later... Can you bring me my phone first? The call is from Becca."

"Okay."

Skyler Jones reached out and handed the phone from the bedside table to Christine Quinn.

Christine Quinn took the phone, leaned against Skyler Jones’s chest, and pressed the answer button, "Hello... What? Oh... okay, I’m heading to New York right away, make sure Howard Geoffrey stays with her, she might be scared alone... Yes, okay, Auntie, I’ll go to New York with Oversky."

After finishing the call, Christine Quinn urgently told Skyler Jones, "Your mom called me using Becca’s phone, she said Becca is in the hospital, she might be about to give birth..."

"Didn’t you say it’s due next month? Is she okay?"

"She’s delivered 21 days ahead of schedule, but that’s not really a big issue, the baby is full-term, Auntie just called to inform us."

Skyler Jones nodded, "That’s good, with Howard Geoffrey beside her, there’s no need for too much worry."

Christine Quinn sat up holding the blanket, "I promised Becca that I’d be by her side when she gives birth, should we be heading to New York now?"

"Okay."

"Can we leave tonight?"

"Leave tonight?"

"Of course, Becca’s in the hospital right now, I need to be there for her as soon as possible..."

"Alright, I’ll call to make the arrangements!"

"Mm, thank you."

Skyler Jones looked down and gave Christine Quinn a peck, "Silly girl, why are you saying thank you to me."

Christine Quinn lay back in Skyler Jones’s embrace, joyfully said, "It’s great, Howard Geoffrey and Becca have always wanted a daughter, they’ve finally got their wish..."
