Chapter 989: Chapter 509: Extra—The Baby Is Naughty in the Womb

"You go rinse your mouth first!" Becca pushed Christine into the bathroom.

Christine rinsed and came out, seeing Becca looking worried, seemingly stressed.

Christine asked with concern, "What’s wrong?"

Becca said, "I want to meet someone, but I need your help."

Christine was puzzled, "Who do you want to meet that needs my help?"

Becca took Christine’s arm, "Don’t worry about who I want to meet... Later, pretend you’re going out shopping with me, so Howard won’t have those bodyguards follow me."

Becca’s words made Christine even more puzzled, "Who are you seeing that you need to hide from Howard?"

"I’ll tell you on the way..."

"..."

At breakfast, everyone was there.

Mrs. Geoffrey sat in the middle, others sat on either side.

Skyler Jones indeed had a stiff neck this morning, at the moment supporting his neck, rotating his head.

Mrs. Geoffrey noticed Skyler’s movements, concernedly asked, "Skyler, what’s wrong, didn’t sleep well last night?"

Skyler responded blandly, "Mm."

Mrs. Geoffrey said, "Want to go to the hospital and get it checked?"

Skyler’s gaze turned to Christine, hoping to see a trace of sympathy in her eyes, yet Christine casually shocked with her words, "Mom, don’t worry about him, it’s just because he’s getting old, always having little physical problems."

Christine’s words darkened Skyler’s expression, and made Becca, who was drinking soup, choke.

Howard gently patted his sweet wife who choked on soup, smilingly watching his brother and sister-in-law.

Skyler’s cold gaze swept over to Christine.

What’s "getting old"?

What’s "always having little physical problems"?

So, she thinks he’s getting old, losing his strength, and therefore uses abstinence as a way to punish him?

This problem was serious...

He needed to find time to settle this account with her properly.

Christine pretended not to notice Skyler’s gaze, seriously reminded him, "You need to take care of your health, do you think you’re still seventeen or eighteen years old!"

Skyler gritted his teeth, unable to endure anymore, spoke through clenched teeth, "After breakfast, you’re coming to the company with me!"

Christine was taken aback, "Why?"

Skyler reached out to hold Christine, solemnly said, "Since you’re not in good health, you must exercise more... The company has gym equipment, come with me to ’exercise’, I need a good ’workout’.

Christine’s face turned bright red, "You..."

Luckily, Mrs. Geoffrey and the children didn’t catch the meaning behind the words, only Howard and Becca were secretly laughing.

"You wouldn’t be unwilling to accompany me in ’exercising’, would you?" Skyler feigned innocence, asking his sweet wife.

Christine finally understood what it meant to shoot herself in the foot...

Christine shot Skyler a "exercise your big-headed ghost" look, then removed Skyler’s arm from her waist, seriously said, "I can’t go with you today, I’m going shopping with Becca this afternoon."

Becca immediately chimed in upon hearing, "Yes, yes... Brother-in-law, I already told sister we’re going shopping this afternoon."

Skyler nodded, stubbornly wrapped his arm around Christine’s waist, smilingly said, "No worries, I can ’exercise’ slowly later."

Christine finished breakfast with a flushed face.

Afternoon.

Christine personally drove Becca to downtown.

Becca hadn’t told Christine who she was going to meet, until Becca asked Christine to park the car in front of a hospital.

Christine suspiciously followed Becca into the hospital.

Unbelievably, so coincidental, in the hospital corridor, Becca ran into the person she wanted to meet.

Christine was stunned for a long time upon seeing this person.

It was Chester Robinson.

He had just finished a surgery, discussing the patient’s condition with the patient’s family.

Becca and Christine were quietly standing in their spots, until Chester’s gaze came over.

Seeing Becca, Chester’s gaze visibly paused, yet still spoke dutifully to the patient’s family.

Until the patient’s family left, Chester then turned to look at Becca and Christine.

Becca and Christine walked towards Chester.

Christine didn’t have much feeling towards Chester, her impression was that Chester was very good to Becca at the time, she even advised Becca to choose Chester.

Christine’s impression of Chester had always been good, even if Chester had confronted Howard and Skyler before, everyone knew those misunderstandings were orchestrated by M.

"Becca."

Chester’s familiar voice rang in Becca’s ears, yet it seemed like ages ago.
