Contract Marriage: Abusive Love with Mr.CEO-Chapter 759 - 393: Extra: The Way He Looks When He’s Asleep_2
Without further hesitation, Christine Quinn directly dialed the number she had long memorized, even after deleting it from her phone.
The phone rang a few times before it was answered.
Christine Quinn struggled to maintain a gentle tone, "Hello."
"What’s the matter?" His voice always carried a cool detachment.
"You promised Marie you would be here for her birthday. Why did you suddenly say you’re too busy to come back?" She would rather he stayed away because he disliked her, but if he ignored Marilyn for Jennifer Douglas, she wouldn’t allow it!!
"Why?"
Christine Quinn snapped angrily, "Are you really that busy? I doubt it!"
"Oh? Do you have a better explanation?"
"Don’t think I don’t know that Jennifer Douglas’s birthday is around these days. You’re staying in New York for her, right?"
Skyler Jones’s gentle laugh came from Christine Quinn’s phone, "Is that why you’re so clear about Jennifer Douglas?"
"I’m not in the mood to joke with you... Skyler Jones, you know how much Marilyn longs for you to come back. If you’re really staying in New York for Jennifer Douglas, then you’re not fit to be Marilyn’s father."
"Is that so?"
Christine Quinn raised an eyebrow, "Jennifer Douglas’s birthday is the day after tomorrow, right?"
Skyler Jones did not answer.
Christine Quinn gritted her teeth, "Since you can’t come back, to avoid letting our daughter down, I’ll have to take Marie to see you in New York tomorrow... I suppose you’ll have to cancel your date with Jennifer Douglas the day after tomorrow!"
With that, Christine Quinn decisively pressed the end call button, ending the conversation.
Damn Skyler Jones, was Jennifer Douglas really that important to him? He should go to hell!
Christine Quinn angrily threw a cushion on the ground, just as a respectful voice of a servant calling, "Mr. Jones," reached her ears.
Christine Quinn’s hand, poised to throw a second cushion, froze, and she quickly looked toward the villa’s entrance.
Christine Quinn slowly stood up from the sofa.
Skyler Jones had already looked over at Christine Quinn.
Their eyes met inadvertently.
Her face turned pale, incredulous and filled with a mix of indescribable emotions, and she quickly looked away.
From the corner of her eye, she saw him walking toward her.
Today, he wore a black wool coat with a gentlemanly air, looking much younger than his usual serious self.
When his tall figure stood in front of her, she had to raise her eyes to look directly at him.
His eyes were as dark and obscure as ever.
She thought he would surely come to reproach her now, but instead, his first words were, "Wifey."
His term of endearment made her already pale face even whiter. She widened her eyes, looking at him uncertainly, confused about the situation.
He reached out and gently caressed her face.
She was stunned, at a loss for what to do.
He gazed at her intently, eyes filled with intense longing.
She furrowed her brow slightly, her cheeks feeling the warmth of his large hand touching her.
The next second, he swiftly scooped her into his arms, bowing his head to capture her lips before she could react.
"Mmm..."
She kept turning her head away.
Yet he held her tightly, not allowing her any retreat.
She wanted to push him away with her feet, but as if he foresaw her intention, he clamped her legs tightly with his own.
After several seconds, he finally released her.
Her lips were red and swollen from his kiss, and she was about to lash out at him when suddenly, the lively little figure of their daughter caught her eye, causing her to pause.
Skyler Jones smiled and wrapped his arm around her.
Despite loathing his touch from having been with another woman, she could only go along with him and put on a blushing smile.
Marie jumped up in front of them, embracing them, "Daddy, Mommy!!"
Skyler Jones asked his daughter tenderly, "Marie, did you miss Daddy?"
Marie nodded vigorously and then looked up at her mother, "Mommy, this was the surprise Daddy and I planned for you... Daddy’s back, aren’t you happy?"
It turned out... her precious daughter had conspired with Skyler Jones.
Christine Quinn felt a wave of helplessness surge up, wanting to slap her forehead.
This idea must have been put forth by her precious daughter to Skyler Jones, and he couldn’t refuse.
Christine Quinn pretended to scold, "You little gremlin... you even tricked Mommy."
Marilyn Quinn chuckled, "Daddy would never miss my birthday, it’s silly Mommy who’s too silly."
"Yes, I’m the silly one... so you all bully me." Christine Quinn pushed Skyler Jones away angrily, although it was acting, she truly needed the space.
Marie winked at Skyler Jones, "Daddy, Mommy’s upset, you should comfort her..."
Skyler Jones picked up Marilyn Quinn, whispered to her, "I’ll go comfort Mommy in the room later."
Marie nodded vigorously.
Skyler Jones bounced Marie on his lap, "Tell Daddy, how much did you miss Daddy?"
"Very, very much, but not as much as Mommy did."
"Oh? How much did Mommy miss Daddy?"
"Mommy tells me every day she misses Daddy and hopes he comes home soon."
Skyler Jones glanced at Christine Quinn, who stood to the side, with a smile on his lips. "Wifey, you’ve worked hard all this time."
Christine Quinn shot a glare at Skyler Jones, signaling him not to misunderstand, as she was only acting. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
Seeing Christine Quinn’s expression, Marilyn laughed, "Daddy, Mommy is just shy."
Skyler Jones nodded with a smile.
"Daddy, you just got off the plane, are you tired?"
"A bit."
"Then go to bed early..."
Skyler Jones couldn’t help but plant a kiss on his sensible daughter’s cheek, "It’s okay. Daddy will chat with you."
Marie clapped her hands happily, "Yay!"
"Oversky, I’ll go run a bath for you first," said Christine Quinn, seeing how close the father and daughter were, feeling a bit jealous, yet also incredibly happy, not wanting to disturb them.
Skyler Jones responded with a simple "Mm."
Christine Quinn turned and headed back to their room.
Standing at the corner of the stairs, Christine Quinn turned back to look at the father and daughter in the hall.
He was so good at entertaining the child, Marilyn Quinn giggled nonstop from his teasing.
