Contract Marriage: Abusive Love with Mr.CEO-Chapter 814 - 421: Extra Story: He Loves Her, What Should He Do? (1)
She pretended not to see him, even though he knew very well that she had noticed him.
She simply looked straight ahead, as if it didn’t matter.
She had made it clear to him that she was not someone who made decisions lightly, and once she made one, she wouldn’t regret it.
Between them, fate had come to an end.
Spilled water, once ashes have burnt out, can never be rekindled.
He should understand this.
Jonathon Gibson said, "I heard what he said to you yesterday... Frankly, I was quite moved."
She agreed, "I also think given his usual pride, it’s definitely not easy for him to lower himself and say those things to me."
Jonathon Gibson looked at Christine Quinn wistfully, "Are you really not moved at all?"
She smiled, walking along, "Would you suddenly not want to take care of me anymore?"
Knowing she was joking, he still answered seriously, "Of course not, staying by your side is all I hope for."
Christine Quinn’s face bloomed with a gentle smile, "No matter how long I have left, with you by my side, I really feel assured."
Jonathon Gibson reached out and embraced Christine Quinn, "Thank you for giving me the chance to take care of you, I will cherish it."
"I’m the one who should say thank you... Thanks for not minding."
Jonathon Gibson suddenly stopped, gently holding her weakened shoulders, and spoke deeply, "I will never mind..."
"I hope we can have a fresh start."
"We surely will."
Jonathon Gibson tenderly kissed her forehead.
She smiled with happiness.
Three days later, Skyler Jones saw the video sent by Uncle Luke in the study room of Jones’ Mansion in New York; she and Jonathon Gibson were walking along the beach as usual, looking in a good mood and quite healthy.
A week later, in Y City, Skyler Jones sat in the president’s office chair at Oversky Group, watching the screen displaying Christine Quinn and Jonathon Gibson sitting on the beach watching the sunset together.
Fifteen days later, Skyler Jones didn’t go to the company; dressed casually, he sat in the study room watching the video on the computer - the doctor had just checked on her, surprisingly, her body showed no signs of rejection, the doctor said it was extremely good news.
A month later, still at Oversky, Skyler Jones received a phone call from the doctors on the island, they told him Christine Quinn’s health condition was still good.
A month and a half later, Skyler Jones received another video from Uncle Luke. Christine Quinn looked lively and in excellent spirits, no longer appearing like a sick person.
Two months later, today—
Skyler Jones was in a meeting.
Senior executives were discussing Oversky’s third-quarter forecast projects and profit goals.
This was the most important meeting Skyler Jones held at Oversky since Christine Quinn left Y City.
Skyler Jones was listening attentively to his subordinates’ reports when suddenly the secretary approached him and whispered, "President, the phone call is from your wife."
The word "wife" made Skyler Jones’s heart flutter.
Skyler Jones paused the meeting and went into the next room to answer her call.
Even though it had only been a month and a half without contact, it felt like ages, so when he received her call, it felt somewhat unreal.
"Skyler, it’s me."
"Hmm."
"I have good news to tell you, I broke through the doctor’s diagnosis, I successfully lived past these three months..."
"Are you... okay?"
"I’m fine, I feel great now, my body doesn’t feel uncomfortable anywhere, my heart seems to be rejuvenated..."
"That’s good."
"I called to tell you, I’m returning to Y City tomorrow, I really want to see Marie."
"Really? Hmm... okay."
"Thank you for taking care of Marie during this time."
"Let’s talk when you return."
"Okay, goodbye."
Seeing his daughter running over as he came downstairs from the second floor, Skyler embraced her, "Daddy, did you say mommy is coming home today?"
Skyler held his daughter, "Hmm."
Marie turned to look toward the villa’s entrance, "But it’s so late, and mommy hasn’t arrived home yet!"
Waiting from morning till afternoon, Marie started to feel a bit worried.
"Don’t worry, your mommy said she would definitely come back."
"Alright."
Marie obediently sat back on the sofa, resting her chin in her hands, not taking her eyes off the villa’s entrance.
