Chapter 960: Chapter 494: Extra: Learning Everything 1

But she never expected that what Jonathon Gibson told her was true; everything was confirmed...

Finally, she had to face the words Jonathon said, his firm decision not to want children, which was probably because he didn’t look forward to this child very much.

She was so foolish...

She was desperate to give birth to his child, but he didn’t care at all... Her efforts to have a child suddenly seemed clumsy and laughable.

Tears moistened her eyes, Christine Quinn tightly closed her eyes, refusing to show her vulnerability in front of others.

A certain Cherry Blossom Town in Lyon, France.

Although it’s not the season for cherry blossoms, strolling through this romantic town, Christine Quinn felt particularly comfortable and at ease.

Compared to the past few days, her heart was much calmer.

Sitting on a long bench under a cherry blossom tree, Christine Quinn took out her phone and turned it on after having it off for several days.

This was the first time she turned it on in days.

She had long expected that once she turned it on, she would receive many messages, and indeed...

One message after another flooded her phone, about a hundred in total.

She looked through them one by one...

Most of these messages were from Becca, and some were from Marie...

Every message hoped for her return...

After reading these messages, she felt very saddened; however, among all the messages and call notifications, she found none from Skyler Jones...

This indicated that in these few days, Skyler didn’t send her a message or call her.

It seemed everyone cared about her, except him.

Her heart sank, as if it fell heavily into the abyss...

She slowly put down her phone and gave a foolish smile.

He must have seen the words she left him in the diary...

She could already guess his reaction.

Initially, surprise, followed by self-blame and guilt, but eventually, he would agree with her decision... 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Her departure was the best choice for both her and him.

She had long imagined he could accept such an outcome, she just hadn’t expected him not even to make a call...

Knowing the ending would be this sad, her heart still couldn’t bear it.

He didn’t know that women are contradictory creatures...

Vowing to leave, yet secretly hoping he might persuade her to stay...

But it further confirmed that her decision was correct, his care and gentleness were only out of responsibility, and without responsibility, he didn’t need to continue acting.

Not wanting her sister to worry about her, Christine Quinn took out her phone and dialed Rebecca Quentin’s number.

Rebecca immediately answered the call, anxiously blurting out, "Thank goodness, Sis, you finally called. Do you know how worried I am about you?"

Christine Quinn replied with a strained voice, "I know... I’m sorry, Becca, for worrying you all."

"Where are you right now?"

"I’m in a very peaceful town in France."

"I know... Howard Geoffrey has checked your immigration records, but he could only verify that you’re in France, without pinpointing your exact location."

Of course, they couldn’t find her because she didn’t use any transport requiring a name registration, nor did she use her phone, so they couldn’t track her exact location.

"Where I am isn’t important... The important thing is I’m doing well, so don’t worry about me, I’m just out for some fresh air."

"When are you coming back?"

"I don’t know..."

"Sis, are you having a falling out with your husband?"

Christine Quinn took a deep breath, suppressing the ache in her chest, "Becca, I’m not having a falling out with him, I’m facing reality."

"What issues are there between you two?"

"I don’t want to talk about it, Becca... Sometimes feelings can’t be forced."

"No wonder your husband hasn’t returned from his business trip yet..."

"He... hasn’t returned?"

"Yes, he still hasn’t come back, and we can’t get in touch with him."

"Perhaps he has something important to attend to."

"What is important? Lying and saying he’s on a business trip to France is important? I asked Howard Geoffrey, and there are no new projects in the second half of the year, so your husband definitely didn’t go to France for work... I think the reason you left is surely because your husband is hiding something from you."
