Contract Marriage: Abusive Love with Mr.CEO-Chapter 706 - 367: Extra Story: He Followed Her to New York
Rebecca Quentin excitedly jumped up, "Really?"
Howard Geoffrey had a confident smile on his lips, "Of course."
Rebecca Quentin bent down and kissed Howard Geoffrey, "Honey, you’re amazing..." With him taking charge, what problem couldn’t be solved?
From afar, Christine Quinn looked at Skyler Jones, took a deep breath, and walked over to him.
He was dining, as gentlemanly and graceful as ever.
Christine Quinn arrived at the table, sat in the chair opposite him without saying a word, and looked at the lunch he had already ordered for her.
It was still the things she used to like eating...
His memory was truly good; after more than ten years of minimal contact, he still remembered what she liked to eat.
Unfortunately, this time wasn’t like yesterday; there was no surprise or emotion, and her heart felt only a chilly void.
Christine Quinn waved to call a waiter.
The young male waiter respectfully came to Christine Quinn’s side.
Christine Quinn spoke lightly, "I don’t like these things. Take them away, I want a lettuce salad and a portion of kiwi pudding..."
The waiter nodded and promptly removed the plates from in front of Christine Quinn.
Skyler Jones leisurely looked at Christine Quinn, and chuckled softly, "If you wanted to prove your taste had changed, you should have done it yesterday!"
Christine Quinn glanced lazily at Skyler Jones, placed the napkin on her lap, and replied casually, "I didn’t want to prove anything to you... It’s just that my stomach isn’t well. Marie doesn’t like me eating overly spicy food, and if she sees me eating spicy things when we take a photo later, she’ll complain."
"Look over there," Skyler Jones suddenly said.
Christine Quinn instinctively turned her head to look.
At that moment, Skyler Jones’s long arm stretched out, catching her off guard as he pulled her close and kissed her cheek.
Click...
Christine Quinn was too shocked to react and, embarrassed, snapped, "What’s wrong with you?" then noticed he was holding a phone.
Skyler Jones put the phone with the newly taken photo into his pocket, his tone flat, "I said Marie wants to see us."
Wiping away the traces of the kiss from her cheek, Christine Quinn glared angrily at the man calmly dining opposite her.
Then, the waiter placed the lettuce salad in front of Christine Quinn.
Christine Quinn reluctantly withdrew her displeased gaze and stabbed the lettuce with her fork, venting her anger.
"Have you called Becca?" Skyler Jones suddenly asked.
Christine Quinn replied irritably, "Haven’t called."
Skyler Jones lifted his gaze, slightly furrowing his brow.
Christine Quinn smugly said, "What, angry? If you’re unhappy just call Becca yourself, since you really want to hear her voice."
Skyler Jones chuckled lightly, then pulled out his phone and dialed a string of numbers.
Christine Quinn saw Skyler Jones was really calling Rebecca Quentin, and suddenly snatched Skyler Jones’s phone, angry, "I won’t let you ruin Rebecca and Howard Geoffrey’s happiness now; you’d better not bother Rebecca!!"
Skyler Jones leaned back into his chair with interest, the corners of his mouth slightly curved, "Weren’t you the one who told me to call?"
Christine Quinn angrily threw the phone on the table, clenching her teeth.
This man, it was completely intentional. Even if she hadn’t stopped him, he wouldn’t have had the courage to call Becca!
Skyler Jones confidently remarked, "Judging by your reaction, it seems you’ve already told Becca."
Christine Quinn sulkingly lowered her head to eat.
"Let me know her checkup results when the time comes."
Christine Quinn suddenly raised her eyes, glaring at him, "Why should I tell you anything about Becca?"
Skyler Jones raised an eyebrow, his smile deepening, "Because you don’t want me to call Becca."
"Despicable."
Skyler Jones continued to smile.
Christine Quinn stuffed a piece of lettuce into her mouth, desperately suppressing the fiery anger that arose every time they conversed, trying not to act on the impulse to kill the man across from her. She casually changed the topic, "By the way, Marie will be on summer vacation in a few days, and I’m planning to take her to New York for a while." If she kept interacting with him, she feared she’d go mad.
"As long as Marie agrees, no problem."
"Marie will definitely want you to go, so you’ll have to use the excuse of being busy to brush Marie off... because I don’t want to see you in New York."
Facing Christine Quinn’s look of disgust, Skyler Jones did not get angry. He was about to respond when his phone suddenly rang.
Glancing at the number displayed on the phone screen, Skyler Jones promptly picked up the phone, pressed the answer button, and put it to his ear.
