The next day.

After personally dropping Marie off at school, Christine Quinn returned to the room.

The big lazybones on the bed was still asleep. Christine Quinn playfully sat on the edge of the bed, pinching his prominent nose, "President Jones, time to get up..."

Skyler Jones sleepily looked at her, "Why did you get up?"

Christine Quinn replied, "I sent Marie to school!"

Skyler Jones stretched out his long arm, pulling Christine Quinn onto the bed, his body quickly pressing against her, "Why didn’t you wake me up?"

His voice was particularly magnetic in the morning, making her a bit overwhelmed. She stammered, "You, you, don’t press on me like this..."

"Are you afraid?"

She shyly turned her head, avoiding his gaze.

He laughed, gave her a quick kiss, then rolled off of her, "I was just teasing you..." Saying that, Skyler Jones got out of bed.

Christine Quinn suddenly grabbed Skyler Jones’s hand, wrapping her arms around his strong waist, "Do you know why I wanted you to take the day off?"

Skyler Jones affectionately embraced her, "Want me to accompany you for a day out?"

Christine Quinn shook her head, "NO."

"Any surprises for me?"

Christine Quinn nodded with a smile, "Yes, a surprise."

Skyler Jones coaxingly asked, "What surprise?"

Christine Quinn proudly blinked at him, "Since it’s a surprise, I won’t tell you now. You’ll know soon."

"You’re so naughty... I’m going to take a shower then."

"Go ahead..."

After Skyler Jones entered the bathroom, Christine Quinn locked the bedroom door.

Her heart was pounding, and she felt a bit nervous.

Taking one of his shirts from the wardrobe, she removed all her clothes and put on his shirt.

Looking at her sexy figure wearing his shirt in the mirror, she couldn’t help feeling a little shy.

Yes, the surprise she was giving him was her plan to "accompany" him at home for the whole day.

These days, she was well aware of how much he was enduring, and she didn’t want him to have to hold back any longer. She wanted them both to find relief and release...

The doctor’s warning wasn’t something she wasn’t worried about, but before telling him about her health, she wanted to satisfy him once.

Indeed, she planned to disclose her illness to him today.

Previously, she had clung to the happiness of their love, thinking that not telling him was the best choice. But the thought of her abrupt departure in the future, leaving him to lose her without warning, that kind of pain was far greater than telling him now. At least by then, he would be mentally prepared...

So, before destroying these beautiful moments, let them beautifully have each other once...

The sound of water splashing came from the bathroom. Christine Quinn smiled at herself in the mirror, quickly removing the hairband, allowing her straight, jet-black hair to flow down.

Christine Quinn quietly opened the bathroom door. Through the frosted shower glass, she could clearly see his silhouette while showering.

Nervously feeling like a thief, she tiptoed towards the shower. She initially intended to surprise him, but unexpectedly, she slipped and fell onto the cold floor.

"Ouch..."

She cried out in pain.

Skyler Jones in the shower had actually noticed someone coming in a while ago...

From the sneaky, cat-like steps, he knew it was her. Assuming she was trying to play a little prank, he pretended not to know. Who would have thought she would end up falling in the bathroom?

Skyler Jones immediately rushed out of the shower, nervously picking her up, "How could you be so careless? Even as an adult, you manage to slip."

His scolding came from a place of concern.

Christine Quinn was surprised at his speed out of the bathroom, and she asked, "Did you know I was in here?"

"There’s a reflective mirror in the shower."

"Uh..."

Christine Quinn felt embarrassed, "I just wanted to surprise you."

Skyler Jones asked with concern, "Does it hurt anywhere?"

"My butt hurts."

"Anywhere else?"

"I hurt my foot."

Skyler Jones placed Christine Quinn on the bathroom counter, noticing the slight swelling on her ankle. He furrowed his brows, "Stay here, I’ll get the first aid kit for the swelling."

"No need, it doesn’t hurt much..."

Christine Quinn wrapped her arms around Skyler Jones’s neck, looking enchantingly at him.

Earlier, he had only seen her vague silhouette in the reflective mirror and was only concerned with her injury when he picked her up. Only now, under her enchanting gaze, did he notice her outfit.

She was wearing his shirt, looking straight at him.
