Contract Marriage: Abusive Love with Mr.CEO-Chapter 761 - 394: Extra: Daughter’s Birthday 1_2
Skyler Jones looked at her, his eyes darkening, but he didn’t part his pursed lips.
Christine Quinn said calmly, "You should know that even if I am with Jonathon Gibson, you have no right to blame me, because in terms of our marriage, there’s no such thing as infidelity. Even if there were, you were the one who first cheated."
His tone was flat, without any hint of anger, "What I want to discuss with you is not this issue..."
"Then what do you want to say?"
Skyler Jones raised a brow, "That’s enough..."
Christine Quinn frowned, "What?"
Skyler Jones looked calmly at Christine Quinn, "Let’s end what happened back then."
Christine Quinn’s body trembled slightly. What did he say?
Skyler Jones looked at her distantly, "Over the years, you’ve probably cursed me a thousand times over in your heart, right?"
Christine Quinn turned her head to the side, annoyed, "You do have some self-awareness."
Skyler Jones chuckled softly and elegantly.
Hearing his laughter, Christine Quinn slowly turned her head, looking at him puzzled.
He really was acting strange tonight...
He used to always want to have the upper hand in every sentence, yet tonight he had voluntarily lowered his stance.
Skyler Jones suddenly picked up the cup and drank all the wine, then stood up and said coldly, "After Marie’s birthday, you can leave with Jonathon Gibson... while I’m still not regretting it."
She watched him walk out of the room in a daze, not reacting for a long time.
In the study, Skyler Jones leaned tiredly against the back of the chair, his eyes closed, yet his mind was awash with thoughts.
Oversky, I know you might not like what I have to say, and might not listen, but as your mother, I still want to remind you... Escape is not the solution. If you don’t care, let her go early, but if your heart won’t allow it, think about how to win her back... Life is short, don’t wait until it’s too late to regret.
Mr. Jones, I’m Jonathon Gibson... Christine has already told me about your marriage situation. I want to tell you that Christine and I are currently dating, so during this period, please don’t do anything to hurt Christine, otherwise, I’ll do whatever it takes to oppose you... Please leave Christine a way out; she’s endured enough already.
After Skyler Jones left the room, Christine Quinn couldn’t sleep.
She tossed and turned, unable to understand why Skyler Jones had said those things to her tonight.
And, had he really let go of the past?
Finally, Christine Quinn got up from the sofa, irritably threw on a robe, and walked out of the room.
She first went to Marie’s room to look for him and, not finding him there, she headed to the study.
The door to the study was ajar, and she knew he was inside, but she hesitated against the white wall, unsure whether to enter and ask for clarity.
In the end, she finally gathered the courage to knock lightly on the door.
There was no response.
She frowned and tentatively pushed the door open lightly,
To her surprise, she saw him asleep in the chair.
Being in the same room with him for so long, she had rarely seen him asleep, because she didn’t dare get close to him.
Only now did she realize that when he slept, he looked just as handsome as before.
Quietly leaving the study, Christine Quinn took a deep breath and turned back to her room.
Meeting a servant on night duty in the hallway, she said to the servant, "Please take a blanket to Mr. Jones; he’s sleeping in the study."
The servant respectfully replied, "Yes."
"Madam, you look so beautiful today."
In the morning, as Christine Quinn descended from the second floor, she heard the servant’s compliment.
Christine Quinn smiled faintly, "Thank you."
Today, she wore a delicate makeup, and compared to her usual casual dress, she had deliberately changed into a more elegant and stylish outfit, so today she appeared much more spirited than usual.
When Christine Quinn arrived at the dining room, Skyler Jones and Marilyn Quinn were already seated at the table. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
Christine Quinn sat down opposite Marilyn Quinn, smiling, "Sorry, changing clothes took a little time."
Skyler Jones, who rarely saw Christine Quinn so elaborately dressed, couldn’t help but have an unusual look in his eyes.
Marie said happily, "Mommy, I haven’t seen you dress up so beautifully for a long time."
Christine Quinn, made somewhat embarrassed by Marie’s comment, blushed and said, "It’s not like there’s any occasion, so why dress up so pretty?"
"For Daddy to see!" Marie answered matter-of-factly.
Christine Quinn was embarrassed, "Hurry and eat your breakfast, didn’t you have a lot of plans today?"
Marie nodded repeatedly, "Yeah, yeah."
Skyler Jones smiled slightly and lowered his head to eat.
After breakfast, Marie finally began organizing the day’s itinerary.
"Daddy and Mommy, since you said you’d agree to everything I ask today, you both must listen to me and follow my itinerary obediently."
In the back seat of the car, Marilyn Quinn, sitting in the middle, held one of her father’s hands and one of her mother’s, reminding them.
Christine Quinn playfully answered, "OK, today is your birthday, so you’re the boss. Mommy is willing to follow your plans."
"I don’t have a problem either," Skyler Jones said gently.
Marilyn Quinn happily announced, "First stop, amusement park."
Christine Quinn and Skyler Jones both smiled.
They didn’t need Marie to tell them; children love it the most when their parents take them to amusement parks.
The largest children’s amusement park in Y City was crowded because it was the weekend.
Christine Quinn and Skyler Jones were both a bit unaccustomed to going to such places, firstly because it was a family outing spot, and they had never brought Marie here before, and secondly because there were too many people, contrary to their low-key nature.
But Marie was already dragging them in happily...
For Marie, who was at an amusement park for the first time, she was like a fish that had long been thirsty and finally got water, wanting only to swim and frolic.
"Daddy, Mommy, I want to ride the merry-go-round, the roller coaster, the pirate ship, and I also want to ride the dodgem car..."
"Okay, one by one, whatever you want to play today, Mommy agrees."
"Yay... Mommy, go get the tickets."
