Contract Marriage: Abusive Love with Mr.CEO-Chapter 822 - 425: Extra: Faking Paralysis

"Okay... It’s getting dark, I’ll have the driver take you back."

Christine Quinn shook her head, "No need, Jonathon is coming to pick me up."

"Alright, see you."

"See you."

Skyler Jones was just about to enter the bathroom to take a shower when Marie rushed in from outside the room.

"Daddy..."

Skyler Jones smiled, "Hmm?"

"Bend down."

Skyler Jones hugged Marie, "What’s up, my darling daughter?"

Marie reached out to touch Skyler’s forehead, "It’s fine... You’re not hot anymore."

Skyler gave his daughter a kiss, "Daddy is fine now. I heard you were worried about Daddy all day, good girl."

Marie snuggled up to Skyler, "Luckily, Mommy took care of you."

Skyler said softly, "Did you ask your Mommy to take care of me?"

Marie looked up, "No... it was the butler who asked Mommy to take care of Daddy."

"Oh, then tell the butler later, I’ll give her a raise."

"Hehe, Daddy, you were also happy that Mommy took care of you, right?"

Skyler squatted down to gently support his daughter, "Marie, do you want Mommy and Daddy to be together?"

Marie nodded, "I do... but Mommy told me that you guys can’t be together anymore, and she said she already has a boyfriend now, it’s Uncle Gibson who once bought me gifts."

Skyler’s deep, dark eyes suddenly turned sharp, "Do you like that Gibson guy?"

"Uncle Gibson is quite nice, very dignified, very considerate to Mommy, and good at making people happy... Daddy, you have none of these traits."

Skyler’s face instantly turned stern.

Marie giggled and wrapped her arms around her father’s neck, "But I love Daddy the most, no one can compare to my Daddy..."

Only then was Skyler satisfied, a smile curved at the corner of his mouth.

Marie coquettishly asked Skyler, "Daddy, do you have a girlfriend?"

"Did Daddy ever tell you Daddy has a girlfriend?"

Marie pouted, "Hmph... The newspapers all say that an aunt with the last name Ren is your girlfriend."

"She’s not Daddy’s girlfriend. Daddy has never had a girlfriend, except for your Mommy."

"Then why was Mommy angry and left you, even wanted to divorce you?"

"Because Daddy didn’t know how to cherish before."

"But Mommy is with Uncle Gibson now... can you really bring Mommy back to you?"

Skyler curved his lips, "Daddy promises you, the three of us will definitely be together again in the end."

Marie murmured, "Mommy doesn’t love you anymore..."

"Even if she doesn’t love me, it’s okay, Daddy will find a way to make Mommy fall in love with Daddy again."

Marie tilted her head, "Then you have to mean what you say!"

Skyler laughed, "It’s a deal... of course, sometimes I need your help."

The next day.

After recovering from his illness, Skyler seemed like a changed man, full of energy and looking radiant.

When his assistant saw his good spirits while driving him, he couldn’t help but ask, "Mr. Jones, your wife came back these two days, does it mean there’s been progress with you?"

Skyler’s lips curved slightly, "There’s no progress, but by a twist of fate, it made me confirm something."

The subordinate curiously asked, "What is it?"

Skyler pressed his lips together but didn’t answer, just smiled calmly.

That night, his mood was genuinely terrible, but after getting caught in the rain and suffering a rare illness, by a twist of fate, he realized that she still cared about him.

If she truly didn’t care about him, how could she have taken such meticulous care of him for an entire afternoon?

She would never know the peace and satisfaction he felt when he woke up to see her by his side...

At that moment, it made him certain of two things.

One, he absolutely couldn’t lose her, and two, she wasn’t as indifferent to him as she claimed.

Therefore, he didn’t want to waste any more time. He wanted to take the simplest and most effective measures to keep her by his side...

He couldn’t let any other man have the chance to step in!!

As soon as Skyler entered "Oversky," he called the secretary in.

The secretary did not know about Skyler’s illness, so she anxiously reported on the past few days’ business as soon as she entered the office.

"President, the new project in L.A. has already started the tendering process... Vice President has been trying to discuss this project with you these past few days, but he hasn’t been able to reach you."

Skyler, sitting in the executive chair, said seriously to the secretary, "Tell Mr. Maxwell that I’ll personally go to the U.S. to negotiate the L.A. project."

"Ah?" The secretary was quite surprised, "Isn’t a project like this always handled by Mr. Maxwell?"
