Chapter 933: Chapter 480: Extra Story: Pregnancy and Jennifer Douglas’s Voluntary Departure_2

Christine Quinn came over to Becca Quentin’s side and picked up the juice on the table for a sip.

Seeing Christine Quinn, Becca Quentin smiled and asked, "Did your brother-in-law leave?"

Christine Quinn nodded.

"Are you reluctant to part with him?"

"Yeah."

"Howard Geoffrey went back to T City yesterday. I’m also a bit reluctant." Becca Quentin’s face was tinged with a light sadness.

Christine Quinn turned to look at Becca Quentin’s dejected appearance and smiled, "Silly, Howard Geoffrey is just going for three to five days and then he’ll be back."

Becca Quentin frowned and asked, "Is your brother-in-law going for a long time?"

Christine Quinn said, "Yes, he said if everything goes smoothly, it’ll take just half a month; if not, it might take longer."

Becca Quentin listened and gave a wry smile, "No wonder you’ve been feeling gloomy these past two days; you can’t bear to be separated from your brother-in-law for so long!"

"No."

"Huh?"

Christine Quinn took a sip of juice and said to Becca Quentin in an annoyed tone, "Something has made me a bit uneasy these past two days."

Becca Quentin frowned, "What is it?"

Christine Quinn slowly answered, "Do you remember that call I received the day before yesterday?"

"The one from your brother-in-law?"

"No, it was actually Jennifer Douglas calling."

At the mention of "Jennifer Douglas," Becca Quentin’s eyes immediately widened, "What does that woman want by calling you?"

Christine Quinn said, "She told me Saturday, which is today, she had threatened Skyler Jones that if he didn’t come to see her today, she would do something reckless. She told me over the phone that she’s certain Oversky would come to see her today because Oversky wouldn’t just stand by and watch something happen to her. She wanted to prove to me that Oversky has feelings for her."

Becca Quentin angrily said, "Damn it, Jennifer Douglas actually has the audacity to provoke you so openly?"

Christine Quinn looked into the distance and lightly said, "Jonathon explained Jennifer Douglas to me; he said Jennifer Douglas is not inherently bad. It’s because she misunderstood my feelings for Oversky, and that’s why she repeatedly tried to disrupt my relationship with Oversky..."

"Sis, you can’t be feeling sympathy for her, right?" Becca Quentin asked incredulously.

Christine Quinn shook her head, "As a woman myself, I just find her quite pitiful. If she really does something reckless for Oversky, it’s not worth it."

Becca Quentin said, "I really don’t find Jennifer Douglas pitiful; everything she’s done is her own fault. Your brother-in-law has never been with her, and he told her clearly, yet she was persistent and repeatedly created trouble between you and your brother-in-law. Even if she twisted her heart because of love, she doesn’t deserve forgiveness just for trying to ruin someone else’s marriage."

"But what if she is truly a kind-hearted girl?"

"Then it’s still her own fault. Sis, are you hoping your brother-in-law will go see her?"

"I’m worried she might actually do something reckless..."

"Sis..." Becca Quentin grabbed Christine Quinn’s hand, "Just ignore Jennifer Douglas’ business... She called you with no good intentions; why sympathize with her? At most, inform her father and let him keep an eye on her."

"Yes, I can only do that." Despite any resentment toward Jennifer Douglas, Christine Quinn couldn’t bring herself to watch a young life disappear just like that.

No one expected that the clear weather during the day would turn into thunderous rain in the evening.

Without Skyler Jones by her side, Christine Quinn didn’t sleep well all night, ultimately waking up to a loud clap of thunder.

The curtains on the floor-to-ceiling window fluttered with flashes of lightning and thunder, making Christine Quinn somewhat scared. She got up, threw on a nightshirt, got out of bed, and closed all the curtains.

Once all the curtains were drawn, Christine Quinn finally felt at ease and proceeded to leave the room.

Christine Quinn went to the children’s room, quietly opened the door, and saw her daughter sleeping sweetly on the bed. She smiled contently.

Returning to the bedroom, she looked at the empty room and the seemingly cold bed, feeling no sleepiness at all.

Back in bed, sitting alone against the headboard, Christine Quinn picked up the cellphone from the nightstand.

Longing welled up inside her, and she dialed his number.

The phone connected faster than she expected, and she joyfully called out, "Oversky."

From the phone came Skyler Jones’ magnetic and gentle voice, "I just got off the plane, was about to call you."

Christine Quinn was delighted, "So, is the weather in Y City good?"

"Not good."

"What?" Christine Quinn was puzzled, "I checked Y City’s weather today; it said the next few days are all sunny!"

Skyler Jones chuckled softly, "Without you by my side, how could the weather be good."

"Oh, you’re awful." Although she complained, her heart was sweet.

"Babe, is it uncomfortable without me by your side?"

For some reason, he could always easily sense her inner feelings.

His gentle voice made her nose feel a little sour, her voice seemed suppressed, she hoarsely replied, "Yeah, it rained heavily at night and the thunder was loud. I was a bit scared, so I couldn’t sleep."

Skyler Jones couldn’t help but laugh.

Christine Quinn grumbled, "Why are you laughing?"

Skyler Jones said, "I’m laughing at you being afraid of thunder and rain at this age..."

Christine Quinn pouted and complained, "Not comforting me, but making fun of me."

"Okay... we’ll keep talking, I’ll keep you company until you fall asleep, is that alright?"

"Really?" Christine Quinn’s eyes sparkled with bright light.

"Yes, I’m a bit tired too and want to rest at home first... I’ll talk to you, keep you company while you sleep, just like we’re together now, okay?"

Christine Quinn nodded vigorously, "Okay."

Saying so, she lay down, pulled up the blanket to cover herself, suddenly all the fear and unease vanished.

His gentle voice continued through the phone by her ear, "How’s our daughter?"

"I just checked on her; she wasn’t disturbed by the thunder and is sleeping sweetly."

"Okay."

The days without Skyler Jones were slow, but thankfully, a week had already passed.

Howard Geoffrey had come back from T City to be with Becca in New York two days ago, seeing them as a loving couple, Christine Quinn silently hoped Skyler Jones would return soon. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

In the morning, Christine Quinn went to the dining room.

Seeing even the children who usually love sleeping in were up, Christine Quinn sat down and somewhat awkwardly said to Mrs. Geoffrey, "Sorry, Mom, I overslept."
