Contract Marriage: Abusive Love with Mr.CEO-Chapter 848 - 438: Extra: The Engagement Ring He Made Up For Her 3
Skyler Jones didn’t rush to answer the phone but instead gently coaxed his sweet wife, "You see, just one look at this letter and you know I only entered a name to make it easier at the time... It didn’t mean anything else."
"If it really meant nothing, you wouldn’t have stored her number."
"Baby, don’t be unreasonable..."
"I am being unreasonable."
"Alright then, I’ll delete the number right now..."
"Who knows, you might have already memorized it."
"So what should I do?" Skyler Jones looked at her pitifully, "How about I take out my heart and show it to you, to see if there’s another woman hidden inside?"
Christine Quinn chuckled, "Okay, I was just teasing you... Saving someone’s phone number means nothing; if you truly care, even if you don’t save it, you’ll remember it in your heart!"
Skyler Jones affectionately pecked Christine Quinn on the cheek, "My wife is still so understanding."
Christine Quinn glanced at the phone Skyler Jones had placed back on the table and asked, "Aren’t you going to answer it? It’s still ringing!"
"I said I wouldn’t be in contact with her anymore."
"You should still answer it..." Christine Quinn picked up the phone again, "Aren’t you worried about that money issue? Maybe Jennifer Douglas wants to discuss it with you."
"Do you promise not to get jealous?"
"You’re the one who’d get jealous..."
Skyler Jones chuckled, took the phone, and pressed the answer button straight away—
"Oversky."
The voice on the phone was Jennifer Douglas’s gentle tone.
"Yeah." His voice was noticeably indifferent.
"I’ve returned to New York."
He was indifferent about Jennifer Douglas’s whereabouts, "What’s up?"
His cold response made her voice noticeably lower than before, "It’s nothing... I just wanted to talk to you about the TSOL profits."
"Speak."
"You don’t need to give the TSOL profits to ’Nonta,’ they don’t belong to ’Nonta’ to begin with. My father helped you without expecting any return."
"I’m a businessman, I’m used to keeping accounts clear."
"Everything is clear between you and me... You don’t owe me, I don’t owe you, we didn’t even have the kind of relationship people thought we did, not even my father understands."
"I don’t like owing people favors."
"It’s not a favor anyway, just a meeting and a meal. If you weren’t already established in the business world, my dad might not have been able to help... So, you don’t need to give my dad the profits, and he says he won’t take your money, but if you really want to settle accounts with us in the future, ’Oversky’ and ’Nonta’ can work together more..."
Skyler Jones pressed his thin lips together, saying nothing.
"That’s all I wanted to say... Oversky, take care of yourself."
Skyler Jones still didn’t respond.
Jennifer Douglas finally added, "Don’t worry, this is the last time I’m calling you, I won’t bother you again in the future. I wish you and Christine Quinn happiness."
After Skyler Jones ended the call with Jennifer Douglas, Christine Quinn, who stood silently by, said, "It looks like Miss Douglas feels for you deeply, giving up such a large sum of money."
Skyler Jones casually tossed the phone aside, holding Christine Quinn on his lap, "Didn’t you say you weren’t jealous?"
"I’m not jealous, I just think Jennifer Douglas is infatuated with you."
"But my heart is only set on you."
"Then why do you flirt with others?"
"I didn’t flirt with her, it was simply mutual needs, nothing of that sort."
"You needed her to make me jealous, and what about her?"
"At that time, Jennifer Douglas was being forced into marriage by her father... she didn’t want to go on blind dates, so she turned to me."
"Considering how much Charles Douglas dotes on Jennifer, why would he rush her into marriage? Obviously, Miss Douglas has her eyes on you, that’s why she clicked with you so well..." At this point, Christine Quinn sighed lightly, "Women are silly, loving a man and becoming dead-set on them. It’s pitiful when you think about Jennifer Douglas."
"Let’s not talk about her anymore..." He buried his head into her neck.
Christine Quinn quickly pushed away his burning kisses, got off his lap, and said sternly, "Stop that, Marie will be back soon..."
Noon.
Christine Quinn personally took Marie to school.
In the car, the mother and daughter were chatting.
"Mommy, Auntie’s about to have a little sister. When are we going to New York?"
Christine Quinn replied, "Your daddy’s legs are not convenient right now, we have to wait until Auntie is about to give birth before we go..."
