Contract Marriage: Abusive Love with Mr.CEO-Chapter 843 - 435: Extra: Mr. Jones Still in His Prime 2_2
"So I’ve now drawn a clear line with her."
"Are you saying I should draw a clear line with Jonathon too?"
"Naturally, you are my woman now."
"You’re really unreasonable... does being with you mean I can’t have friends?"
"Female friends are okay, male friends... sorry, not allowed."
"What about Howard Geoffrey?"
"He belongs to your family now."
"Cough..."
Christine suddenly realized that this person was simply a selfish, domineering, unreasonable and petty man. She really wondered how she ever fell for him.
But come to think of it, he seemed to have always been like that...
Over a decade ago, she merely mentioned to him once that a certain male employee in the company was quite good-looking, and the next day she never saw that employee come to work again.
Really...
A case of bad judgment!
"What are you thinking about for so long?"
"Nothing... nothing at all!"
Skyler Jones looked at her shrewdly, "Are you criticizing me in your heart again?"
Does he have X-ray vision?
Christine internally grumbled. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
"Not at all... there’s nothing bad about you for me to comment on."
"That’s true."
Ugh, he really knows how to take advantage when given the chance, so shameless.
Skyler extended his long arm to pull Christine beside him, pampering her, "Alright then, it’s just a doctor’s appointment, I’ll go."
"Alright, I’ll contact Jonathon later."
"No, you don’t need to contact him, I’ve already found a renowned doctor who can cure my legs."
Christine excitedly asked, "Who... who is it?"
"You know this person too..."
"I know them too?"
"Chester Robinson."
"Huh?"
Christine asked in shock, "You mean Chester? The ’Doctor Robinson’ who’s quite fond of Becca?"
"You sound like you have quite a liking for him too?"
"Of course, he’s elegant and gentlemanly, he looks particularly dashing in a white coat."
Skyler frowned, "Are you sure you want to express your admiration for another man in front of your husband?"
"Hey, even at this you’re getting jealous, aren’t you being a bit too petty?"
"I’ve never been generous."
Christine blinked as she looked at his composed demeanor and couldn’t help but shake her head. To say being petty with such righteousness — this person is beyond saving.
Skyler then said, "Chester will be my attending physician and help with my treatment."
Christine asked with doubt, "As far as I know, Chester is an authority on gynecology. He was the one who treated Becca’s infertility. Since when does he treat paralysis? And wasn’t he a vegetable?"
"He’s woken up..."
"What?"
Christine covered her mouth in surprise and exclaimed, "You said Chester woke up?"
"It happened two weeks ago."
Christine was still in disbelief, "Oh my God, he really woke up?"
"Yes..."
"And what about Alice?"
"It’s not clear yet, just that he’s happy Alice gave him a daughter."
"Wow... what a sense of happiness."
Skyler tightly hugged Christine, "I will make you happy too."
Christine snuggled up to Skyler and softly said, "I believe you."
Skyler pulled Christine down and kissed her cheek.
With a sweet feeling in her heart, Christine asked again, "So can he really help you treat the paralysis?"
Skyler nodded, "Of course, he’s a recipient of an international medical award, so he has remarkable expertise in various medical fields."
"Wow, then let’s find a time to go to T City to see him."
"Mhm."
Afternoon.
Christine waited in the café for a long time, and finally, Jennifer Douglas arrived.
Jennifer only showed her feminine side in front of Skyler. In front of others, she usually carried the demeanor of an impressive and elegant heiress.
Jennifer crossed her legs and elegantly sat in front of Christine, removing her sunglasses to reveal a subtly made-up, fresh face, "I wonder what Mrs. Jones has in mind inviting me out today?"
"I used the excuse of shopping to come out today, so I don’t have much time to chit-chat. I’ll get straight to the point... why did you come to see Skyler today?"
"Even Skyler didn’t notice, but you did."
"Tell me, what you originally intended to say to Skyler."
Jennifer raised an eyebrow, "Since it’s something I wanted to say to Skyler, naturally I would only say it to him, so asking me is pointless."
Christine spoke calmly, "Miss Douglas, I know your demeanor in front of me isn’t your true nature. In reality, you’re a soft-hearted and kind girl. I can tell that you swallowed back the words you intended to say to Skyler upon seeing me here today, so please tell me what you intended to say to him."
"Why are you so curious?"
"Because I feel with your personality, if Skyler had broken up with you in New York, you wouldn’t be chasing after him like this... and this time you’ve come to Y City with your father specifically to find Skyler, it suggests there’s something important you needed to tell him, something that might mend your relationship with him."
"Mrs. Jones, you’re really smart, you guessed correctly... yes, I did come to Y City specifically for Skyler."
"For what?"
"You guessed it right, I just want to be with Skyler!"
"I don’t want to beat around the bush, Miss Douglas, please be straightforward."
No one expected Jennifer to blurt out next, "Because I’m pregnant, duh, I want to use my pregnancy to win Skyler back."
At that moment, Christine’s face changed.
She looked incredulously at Jennifer, her face going pale.
Seeing Christine’s stiff and pale expression, Jennifer suddenly laughed, "Just now I said you’re smart, and now I think you’re so easily deceived... Do I look pregnant with this slender figure?"
"Then stop making up such lies."
"I just wanted to tease you, who would have thought you’d get so scared..."
The feeling of being tricked made Christine very displeased, she said directly, "Miss Douglas, if you’re not willing to have a serious conversation with me, then just forget it, let’s pretend I didn’t invite you out today."
