Contract Marriage: Abusive Love with Mr.CEO-Chapter 823 - 425: Extra Story: Playing Disabled_2
Yes, when it comes to projects that need Skyler Jones to personally handle, they’re usually large international projects, like the TSOL project. For mid-level projects like this, it’s generally handled by the deputy of "Oversky".
"Do as I said and arrange my schedule."
Even if the secretary didn’t understand, she still nodded, "Okay, I will arrange it now."
"By the way, after I go to L.A., there’s something I need you to help me with..."
"Please instruct me, CEO."
"Spread the news that I’m going to sell ’Oversky’."
The secretary was shocked, "CEO, are you going to sell ’Oversky’?"
"Yes."
Oh my God! They had already speculated that the CEO and the CEO’s wife’s relationship had problems ever since the CEO announced the search for the CEO’s wife. But they didn’t expect the CEO to be so heartbroken over the love that he would want to sell "Oversky". What a surprise.
"Do... do you want to reconsider? This... this..."
"Of course, it’s fake," Skyler Jones added.
"Fake?"
Skyler Jones’s handsome face displayed a deep and unreadable smile, "If Christine Quinn comes to the company looking for me, no matter when, tell her I’m not in."
After Skyler Jones went on a business trip to the U.S., Christine Quinn moved into his villa.
She planned to take advantage of his absence to spend more time with Marie, but unfortunately, Marie had to study, so most of the time she was bored. Luckily, Jonathon Gibson asked her out.
At this moment, in a charming cafe, Christine Quinn and Jonathon Gibson were drinking coffee and chatting comfortably.
"So, you’re just staying at Skyler Jones’s place for a few days, and you’ll move out once he returns?" Jonathon Gibson asked.
"Yes, I’m not very comfortable with Marie being home alone."
"Then how will you feel at ease in the future when you’re not by her side?"
Jonathon Gibson’s words made Christine Quinn stiffen slightly. She looked up at Jonathon Gibson, "I will discuss it with Skyler Jones, she will stay with him on school days and with me on non-school days, until she turns eighteen."
Jonathon Gibson suddenly reached out to hold Christine Quinn’s soft palm, covering it tightly with his warm palm, "If you want custody of Marie, I will help you. Although I’m less wealthy than Skyler Jones, I can afford to hire a quality lawyer."
Christine Quinn shook her head, "I won’t fight him for custody." The child is grown, and fighting for custody is meaningless. Moreover, the child has long made it clear that she does not want to be with either party, so she will follow the child’s wishes – wherever the child wants to stay is where she stays.
"Anyway, if we get married, I will definitely consider Marie as our child."
"Thank you, Jonathon."
"No need to say these things to me." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
Christine Quinn smiled softly.
After saying goodbye to Jonathon Gibson outside the villa gate, Christine Quinn began to think deeply.
Jonathon had asked her about custody issues today, clearly to urge her to resolve the divorce matter soon...
Indeed, her divorce with Skyler Jones was somewhat delayed; this was because she couldn’t bear being away from Marie...
If she divorces Skyler Jones, she’ll have to move to the U.S. with Jonathon Gibson, where he works, and then her time with Marie will become rare...
But if she doesn’t go to the U.S. with Jonathon Gibson, that wouldn’t be fair to Jonathon.
Christine Quinn sighed softly and turned to return to the villa.
As she walked into the villa, her phone rang.
Seeing Rebecca Quentin’s number, she immediately answered, "Becca."
"Sis, how is your health?"
"Well, my health is fine, don’t worry."
"When are you coming to the U.S. to see me?"
"I’m afraid it’ll be when you give birth, because I want to spend more time with Marie."
"Okay... And, how are things going with Mr. Jones?"
"Still the same!"
Rebecca Quentin was astonished on the other end, "Sis, I didn’t ask before when you just returned, I didn’t want to affect your mood... So, you and Mr. Jones haven’t reconciled?"
"Where is your mind going? It’s impossible between him and me... Speaking of this, I haven’t scolded you yet, didn’t I tell you not to expose my whereabouts to Skyler Jones?"
Rebecca Quentin feigned innocence, "Sis, you really can’t blame me for this; it was mom who told Mr. Jones..."
"Really?"
"Yes... yes, you don’t know, during that period Mr. Jones was really depressed, he’d lock himself in the room smoking and drinking for more than a month, totally disheveled, and even went to the hospital because of alcohol poisoning. The doctor said if he had arrived at the hospital a little later, he would have been dead... Mom couldn’t bear to see Mr. Jones like that so she revealed your whereabouts to him. But Mom already repeatedly told him not to show up, yet he went to see you."
"Really? He... he had alcohol poisoning?"
"You can ask Mom if you don’t believe me; Mom wouldn’t lie to you."
"It’s not that I don’t believe, I... I was just casually asking."
"Did you feel a bit touched?"
Christine Quinn lowered her eyelashes, "I never thought he’d be that depressed."
Rebecca Quentin chuckled, "Or rather, you never thought he’d care about you so much?"
"Let’s not talk about this... Your due date is close; are you doing well recently?"
"You don’t need to worry about me. Howard Geoffrey is with me, plus Mom and the servants taking care, I’ve gained a whole circle of weight..."
"I’ll come visit when you give birth."
"Hmm... Let’s continue talking about you and Mr. Jones, are you really not going to give him a chance?"
"Becca..." Christine Quinn spoke pleadingly.
