Chapter 918: Chapter 473: Extra: Loving You Can’t Be Expressed in a Few Words 1

No matter if they admit it or not, his love for her has been slowly fading...

Christine Quinn closed her heavy eyelids, tears slipping from the corners of her eyes, she laughed foolishly.

"Don’t be like this, Christine, we can start over... Everything was my fault, I didn’t consider your feelings, I didn’t know how to cherish you."

She slowly opened her vacant eyes, choking back tears, "Don’t take all the blame on yourself, it’s me who should say ’I’m sorry’... I’ve already suggested divorce to you, if you’re willing, we can go to the Civil Affairs Bureau tomorrow to end the marriage..."

"No, I will never divorce you, I promised to take care of you all my life... Don’t mention divorce again, you’re tired, let me carry you to bed for some sleep?"

Christine Quinn tiredly closed her eyes.

At that moment, Skyler Jones lifted Christine Quinn from the sofa and walked toward the bed.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Skyler Jones quietly watched Christine Quinn.

She lay on the bed with her hands crossed, her breathing calm, evidently sleeping soundly.

He examined her slightly pale face with heartache, gently extending his hand to lovingly caress her beautiful face.

How many times has she shed tears?

He couldn’t remember...

For more than ten years, she stubbornly refused to shed a single tear in front of him, yet these days, he has made her feel heartbroken and sad over and over again...

He who vowed to protect her, cherish her, never let her suffer a bit of grievance, what exactly has he done?

"Christine..." he gently brushed aside the strands of hair beside her cheek, calling softly.

"Hmm..." Christine Quinn murmured softly, not waking up.

He didn’t say anything further, just quietly gazed at her.

Recalling the incident between her and Jonathon Gibson, his heart felt like it was slashed by a knife, yet seeing her sad and tearful appearance made his heart fill with guilt and remorse...

A man shouldn’t make a woman cry, especially his woman, he once swore to offer her happiness that the whole world would admire.

How could he let her be so sad and unhappy?

A phone ringtone pierced the night’s quietness.

Skyler Jones rose from the bed edge, walked to the window to answer the call.

It was his subordinate calling.

"Mr. Jones, the photos Jennifer Douglas received were sent from an anonymous email, I’ve asked people to crack this email’s ID, if all goes well, we should find the IP address of the email sending the photos within a couple of days."

After the call ended, Skyler Jones stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the sleeping Christine Quinn from afar.

Even in sleep, she still frowned, obviously she wasn’t at peace even in her dreams.

His heart twisted painfully, never had he felt such guilt and remorse like this moment.

Knock, knock――

A knocking sound came from outside the room.

Skyler Jones returned to his senses, walked lightly to the door and opened it.

The visitor was Mrs. Geoffrey.

"Skyler."

Facing Mrs. Geoffrey, Skyler Jones’ expression was more gentle than usual, "Is there something?"

Mrs. Geoffrey expressed concern, "You and Christine didn’t come down for dinner, I’m afraid you’re hungry, so I had the kitchen prepare something more, come down for a bite with Christine!"

"I’m not hungry, she’s already asleep."

"Christine is asleep?"

"Hmm."

"Christine isn’t someone who lacks a sense of propriety, this afternoon none of us could find her, it couldn’t be as simple as her going shopping alone... Skyler, did something happen between you two?" Mrs. Geoffrey’s loving face was filled with worry.

Skyler Jones feared waking Christine Quinn, so he walked out of the room and calmly said to Mrs. Geoffrey, "It’s nothing, just a minor issue."

Mrs. Geoffrey was doubtful, "Is it really just a minor issue?"

Mrs. Geoffrey closely observed Skyler Jones, yet couldn’t decipher any information from his face.

Skyler Jones remained silent, not explaining further to Mrs. Geoffrey.

Mrs. Geoffrey continued, "For something to make Christine disappear for an afternoon, it’s definitely not a minor issue, Skyler, did you bully Christine?"

"It’s late, go to sleep."

As Skyler Jones turned to return to the room, Mrs. Geoffrey suddenly called him to a stop, "Skyler, Christine is a good girl, you can’t let her down."

Skyler Jones faced away from Mrs. Geoffrey and said firmly, "I won’t let her down."

"Skyler, don’t mind your mother nagging... you and Christine have struggled hard to get here, Christine has endured so much for you, it wasn’t easy for her to survive to be with you, no matter what your thoughts are, in this lifetime you have a responsibility to Christine, you must take care of her... Remember the days when Christine was sick and left you? You were dejected and negative, no one could persuade you to let go of Christine’s ’death.’ Think about how much you cared back then, and think about now, is the problem in front of you worth giving up your relationship with Christine?"
