Chapter 972: Chapter 500: Extra Story: An Unexpected Beginning and Ending 2

"This is just the adjustment period, in the future we’ll get along more harmoniously..."

"Stop deceiving yourself!!" Tears finally fell, ever since she got back together with him, she was always so useless, crying at the slightest thing. "You don’t love me anymore, Oversky." She bit her lip, painfully stating the truth.

From the first time he said to her, "You’ve changed, you’re not the same Christine Quinn as before," she already felt that his love for her now was sparse...

But she was always unwilling to admit it because she was afraid of losing him.

However, after more than a month of contemplation, she finally understood...

Forcing it won’t bring happiness, all her caution, avoidance, and refusal to admit, were just self-deception.

True, sincere emotions are free from any impurities...

Like the love they had over a decade ago, when they trusted each other so much, understood each other’s heart completely, without any dispute or friction, even if there was, it was sweet disagreements, never this exhausting...

Honestly, not just he, she’s tired too.

Skyler Jones listened quietly to Christine Quinn’s explanation.

"Oversky, actually ever since the photos of me and Jonathon Gibson became public, you intended to divorce me, but reason overcame your emotions, in the end, you chose to heed Mrs. Geoffrey’s words, performing a lifetime’s act with me... Don’t deny that your decision to stay with me is related to Mrs. Geoffrey’s conversation with you that night, because whether someone loves another can’t be faked..."

Skyler Jones didn’t speak further, tacitly acknowledging what she said.

At this moment, Christine Quinn slowly walked towards Skyler Jones, choking up as she spoke to him, "Can I use your phone for a moment?"

After hesitating for a second, Skyler Jones still handed over the phone.

Taking the phone, Christine Quinn opened the messages inside.

As she expected, the phone was filled with messages from Mrs. Geoffrey and Rebecca Quentin.

She randomly opened one from Mrs. Geoffrey—

Oversky, go pick up Christine, it’s just a misunderstanding causing a small issue, you can’t be mad at her.

Christine Quinn opened another, still from Mrs. Geoffrey—

Oversky, regardless of what you’re thinking, you can’t abandon Christine... She’s endured so much for you, you can’t let her down all your life.

Reading this text, Christine Quinn’s nose tingled with a sharp ache, then she opened a message Rebecca Quentin sent to Skyler Jones.

Coincidentally, she opened a crucial message—

Brother-in-law, I’ve already come up with a way to placate my sister... If you go to find my sister recklessly now, she definitely won’t pay attention to you, because she’ll be mad that you disappeared for over a month, but if you do as I say, I guarantee my sister will forgive you, which is to find a lawyer to draft a supplemental marriage agreement, I’ve already thought of the contents for you...

After reading the message, Christine Quinn extended the lit-up screen towards Skyler Jones, hoarsely said, "I guessed right..."

Skyler Jones didn’t look at the phone, instead stepping toward the room’s floor-to-ceiling window.

Time suddenly seemed to have stood still.

Christine Quinn tightly bit her lip, not letting her sobbing sound come out.

With blurred teary eyes, she gazed at Skyler Jones’ towering back, her heart feeling so very sour.

Skyler Jones calmly watched the bustling city outside the window, softly spoke, "Christine... as for Jennifer Douglas, I’ve truly never been emotionally affected, but I must admit, with you, I no longer feel the same stirrings as before."

Christine Quinn covered her mouth, refusing to be weak before him right now.

As if afraid to face Christine Quinn, Skyler Jones continued quietly, "I don’t know what exactly caused me to lose this feeling, maybe time changes or other factors, but after I pretended to be paralyzed and brought you back by my side, our interactions made me increasingly aware that we’ve lost the mutual understanding we had back then, you even felt somewhat unfamiliar to me... Sometimes I even wonder, is the Christine Quinn lying beside me still the one who stirred my heart back then?"

She knew the things she heard now were all his true feelings...

He finally told her his true feelings...

"Christine, I can’t hide from you... My trust in you isn’t as strong as I imagined. For instance, when those ambiguous photos of you and Jonathon Gibson surfaced, I was really angry because I truly believed it at the time, I thought you had ’betrayed’ me again..."
