Chapter 964: Chapter 496: Extra Story: He Came to Find Her 1

So for Skyler Jones, Justin is not just his subordinate, but also his brother...

Even when he and she had already cleared up the misunderstanding, he chose to protect Justin, and this was driven by his emotions at the time...

Christine Quinn thought for a long time, and finally decided to call Skyler Jones.

At one in the morning in France, it was exactly eight in the morning in the Flowery Kingdom.

Originally, she didn’t want to disturb him so early, but she was impatient and wanted to make things clear as soon as possible.

Skyler Jones’s phone rang, but after a few rings, no one answered.

Christine Quinn dialed again, but there was still no answer.

Christine Quinn decided to try one last time... Unexpectedly, this time, someone answered.

Suddenly, Christine Quinn’s nose tinged with sourness, her throat seemed to be choked by something, blocking her words, "Oversky..."

Skyler Jones didn’t respond.

Christine Quinn didn’t mind, she went on to say what she wanted to say.

"Today, Justin Walter came to see me." Christine Quinn paused, "He told me about him and Jennifer Douglas... I’m sorry for misunderstanding you like that, but no matter what you think now, I want to clear things up with you..."

"Sis..."

A sudden call interrupted Christine Quinn’s words.

Christine Quinn paused, "Becca?"

"It’s me, sis... My brother-in-law isn’t here right now; the servant said his phone kept ringing, so I answered it."

"Your brother-in-law isn’t here?"

"He didn’t come back last night; he must have forgotten to bring his phone."

"Oh... it’s nothing, when he gets back, ask him to call me."

"Okay..." Rebecca Quentin asked with concern, "Sis, are you doing well in France?"

"I’m fine... How is Marie?"

Rebecca Quentin said, "I told Marie you just went to France to visit a friend and you’d be back in a few days, so she’s fine."

"Is mom angry?"

"Mom’s not angry, she’s just worried about you and brother-in-law..."

"Mom’s health isn’t good, tell her not to worry, my brother-in-law and I are fine."

"So, sis, you already know about Justin Walter and Jennifer Douglas?"

"Yes."

"Did your brother-in-law tell you?"

Not wanting Rebecca Quentin to overthink, Christine Quinn nodded, "Mm, he called to explain it to me yesterday."

"That’s good, I knew brother-in-law wouldn’t stay mad at you... Don’t be mad at him either, you know how important brotherhood is to him."

"I know, I’m not mad at him... When you see him, have him call me."

"Mm, I’ll have brother-in-law pick you up."

"Okay."

After finishing the call with Rebecca Quentin, Christine Quinn sat dumbly against the headboard.

Suddenly, her eyes became slightly moist.

She realized she had misunderstood him, he had nothing to do with Jennifer Douglas; it was her nitpicking, her chasing shadows, that led to the current awkward situation between them...

But this incident also highlighted another issue to her.

Between her and Skyler Jones, from the beginning of their relationship to now, no matter how deeply in love they seemed, it seemed impossible to go back to the way things were, because thirteen years have passed, and both have changed a lot. Apart from understanding each other’s hearts, it seemed like there were many things about each other they no longer knew.

For instance, his decision to hide the matter to protect Justin Walter...

If he had told her the truth from the start, how would things have escalated to this point?

Of course, she wouldn’t blame him, she could only blame the passage of time, when both had changed...

He no longer understood or trusted her as he used to, and she always lacked a sense of security with him, hence the misunderstanding...

In fact, what shocked her about what Justin Walter said to her yesterday wasn’t that it was true he and Jennifer Douglas had an affair, but rather the question he asked her...

Justin Walter asked her if he told her about him hurting Jennifer Douglas, what would she do?

Actually, Justin Walter didn’t know that at that moment, she paused in thought, because she never expected Justin Walter to ask her that question.

Did that question even need to be asked?

Having been with Skyler Jones for so many years, she knew that Skyler Jones always regarded Justin Walter as a brother; if Skyler Jones had told her the truth, of course, she would have unconditionally helped Justin Walter conceal the matter?

But Justin Walter asked her...

Justin Walter is Skyler Jones’s most capable subordinate, he knows very well what’s in Skyler Jones’s mind... this must mean Skyler Jones also harbors some distrust towards her, which is why Justin Walter would ask that question.
