Contract Marriage: Abusive Love with Mr.CEO-Chapter 741 - 384: Extra Story: If Your Heart Won’t Allow It, Think About How to Make Amends_2
"You really don’t mind if I’m with Oversky?"
"Yes."
"Even if he stays over at my place every night?"
"Even if he stays over at your place every night."
Jennifer Douglas squinted her eyes, carefully examining Christine Quinn, lost in thought.
"I’ve even shown you the agreement; I’ve given you my utmost sincerity."
Jennifer Douglas finally uttered straightforwardly, "Alright... since you’ve shown such sincerity, I have to gladly accept... I can promise you that in the next five months, I absolutely won’t let the media capture any images of Oversky and me together."
"Then I can also assure you, I absolutely won’t interfere in matters between you and Skyler Jones."
"What if you haven’t divorced Skyler Jones in five months?"
"Then it must be because of Skyler Jones, not because of me... it will be up to you to keep him."
"I will."
Christine Quinn smiled as she stood up, "Before leaving, I want to ask you one more thing."
"Go ahead."
"Your provocation last night convinced Skyler Jones beyond doubt, he believes I’ve broken the peaceful understanding between us, so I hope you can explain it clearly to him."
"No problem."
She thought that in her brief life, she would always remember this day — June 28th, the day she completely gave up on the person she loved for thirteen years.
From this moment on, she wouldn’t shed a single tear for him, nor would she reminisce about the past.
She and he... this is the end!
From now on, she can plan her remaining days well, she swears, she will definitely live happily.
When Christine Quinn returned home, she thought the skies were clear, but unexpectedly, the problems left from last night were not just the ones caused by Jennifer Douglas, there also were...
"Christine, come over quickly."
As Christine Quinn just stepped into the villa, Mrs. Geoffrey had already beckoned her to her side.
"Mom."
Mrs. Geoffrey pulled Christine Quinn to sit beside her, "Why didn’t you tell me the good news?"
Christine Quinn was taken aback, "Good news?"
Mrs. Geoffrey chuckled, "Yes, do you know how long I’ve been waiting for this good news?"
"Mom, I don’t understand what you mean."
"Pregnant and you didn’t tell me."
Christine Quinn softly laughed after hearing that, "Yes, my period is late, really forgetful."
"And you still went out?"
"I plan to go to the hospital with Becca in the afternoon!"
"You really are something... such significant development and you didn’t tell me, keeping me worried all day long..."
"Mom, what development?"
Before Christine Quinn could understand what Mrs. Geoffrey was talking about, Marilyn Quinn suddenly ran over.
"Mommy!"
"Hmm?"
"Are you going to give me a baby brother?"
"Ah?"
Marilyn Quinn handed the newspaper to Christine Quinn, her little face full of excitement.
Christine Quinn took the newspaper; when she saw the striking headline, her face immediately became awkward. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
Mrs. Geoffrey laughed, "From now on, you can’t go out alone anymore, if you go out, take the driver, oh, and a maid, so they can always take care of you... You can also tell me what you want to eat, I’ll cook personally for you..."
"Mom, you didn’t misunderstand that I’m pregnant, did you?"
"Misunderstand?" Mrs. Geoffrey was taken aback.
Christine Quinn awkwardly uttered, "I’m not pregnant!"
"But dad said you’re pregnant!" It was Marie who spoke; she held the newspaper.
Mrs. Geoffrey also looked puzzled, "Isn’t the newspaper saying..."
Christine Quinn winked at Mrs. Geoffrey, telling her there was inside information, then embraced Marie to her side and smilingly explained, "Marie, mommy’s not pregnant. What the newspaper wrote was the reporters’ random speculation... Mommy quarreled with your dad yesterday and didn’t want to accompany him to the banquet, then the reporters asked your dad why I didn’t come. Your dad didn’t want to lose face, so he said mommy wasn’t feeling well... Those reporters heard dad say mommy wasn’t feeling well, then randomly speculated that mommy was pregnant..."
"That’s how it is!"
"Yes..."
"Then when will you give me a baby brother, mommy?"
Christine Quinn had an awkward expression, "Uh, this..."
Marie pouted, "I want a baby brother, just as cute as Andrew."
"You can play with Andrew every day!"
"But when we go back to Y City, I can’t play with Andrew anymore..."
"But baby, a baby brother isn’t something that happens just by saying it... Mommy can only promise you that she’ll try with daddy, okay?"
"Okay."
"Good, go play..."
Marie happily ran off.
Only then did Christine Quinn say to Mrs. Geoffrey, "Mom, I don’t want you to misunderstand... Skyler Jones went to the banquet first last night, those reporters saw he didn’t bring me and started randomly speculating, he couldn’t withstand inquiries from guests and reporters, so he made up an excuse that I wasn’t feeling well."
"Do you mean..."
"I must make it clear to you... my relationship with him is still the same as it was before, just recently, we reached an understanding, during Marie’s observation period, we both try not to argue."
Mrs. Geoffrey looked disappointed, "Why is it like this?"
Christine Quinn laughed and said, "Don’t worry, I’m sure Skyler Jones will find you a beautiful and graceful daughter-in-law in the future. He has good taste."
"I think no matter which woman he brings back in the future, I won’t be happy."
"Why is that?"
"Because I’ve already recognized you as my daughter-in-law, and you’ve already given me a granddaughter."
Christine Quinn reached out to hook Mrs. Geoffrey’s arm, teasing, "Are you afraid his future wife won’t be able to have children?"
Mrs. Geoffrey sighed, "You really plan to let it go with Oversky."
"I think it’s about time..." Christine Quinn nodded slightly, "After Marie’s observation period ends, I will divorce him... and then, probably won’t see each other again."
"I won’t let Oversky let you go."
"Mom, I hope that when that day comes, you won’t do this... to be honest with you, I don’t want to continue entangling with him anymore, after so many years, I’m tired, I hope I can have some happy days, and also hope that without me, he’ll be happier than he is now."
