Contract Marriage: Abusive Love with Mr.CEO
Chapter 935 - 481: Extra Story: Is It for Responsibility? 1_2
Jennifer Douglas didn’t look too well, but she wasn’t as downcast and lonely as Christine Quinn had imagined.
"Daddy said it was you who called to tell him I might do something extreme last Saturday."
Christine Quinn didn’t answer, Rebecca Quentin spoke up, "My sister doesn’t pity you; she just couldn’t stand by as another woman and watch you lose your life over a man who doesn’t love you."
"Mrs. Jones..."
For the first time, Jennifer Douglas used "Mrs. Jones" to address Christine Quinn, a change that surprised Christine Quinn.
Jennifer Douglas calmly said, "Thank you for your generosity. I sincerely apologize for everything I’ve done to you in the past."
After saying this, Jennifer Douglas gave Christine Quinn a ninety-degree bow.
Christine Quinn was quite shocked by the sight of Jennifer Douglas in front of her, standing there a bit at a loss.
Jennifer Douglas lifted her head and continued, "I’ve already bought a ticket to leave New York tomorrow and go teach in a remote part of India... I won’t interfere with your relationship with Mr. Jones anymore. I genuinely wish you both happiness."
"You..."
Jennifer Douglas gave Christine Quinn a slight smile, "Mr. Jones is a very gentle, considerate, thoughtful, and responsible person. Whoever gets to marry him in this life is lucky... And Mrs. Jones, you are the luckiest. I hope from now on, Mrs. Jones, you cherish your relationship with Mr. Jones. No matter where I am in the world, I will silently bless you and Mr. Jones."
Facing Jennifer Douglas’s sincere words, Christine Quinn had difficulty discerning the truth, but she had no reason not to accept Jennifer Douglas’s blessing.
Christine Quinn calmly said, "Thank you for your blessing."
Jennifer Douglas sighed softly, saying one last thing, "For me, all that I have is enough."
Christine Quinn couldn’t understand what Jennifer Douglas meant, yet saw Jennifer Douglas had already turned and got into her car.
After Jennifer Douglas’s driver drove her away, Rebecca Quentin asked, "What’s going on? Why did Jennifer Douglas suddenly say she’s leaving New York, as if she won’t ever come back?"
Christine Quinn shook her head, "I don’t understand the meaning behind her words either." Especially the last sentence, she couldn’t comprehend it at all.
"What made Jennifer Douglas change so greatly? The way she spoke didn’t seem like she was lying."
"I didn’t see the usual hostility in her eyes," Christine Quinn said.
Rebecca Quentin pondered suspiciously, "Could it be that since Geoffrey went to Y City, he completely ignored her, waking her up from her illusions?"
"I don’t know." Christine Quinn continued pondering over the last thing Jennifer Douglas said. For some reason, she felt that although Jennifer’s last words were sad, they weren’t hopeless, conveying a sense of contentment and relief in her tone.
"Oh well, forget about her... If she wants to go to India, let her go. By the sound of it, she doesn’t intend to come back... This is actually a good thing. From now on, you won’t have to worry about her!!"
"Yeah, forget about her..." Not wanting to think any further, Christine Quinn lowered her head, looking at her belly, "With this new development, everything seems to be getting better."
Christine Quinn leaned against the window, smiling sweetly as she dialed Skyler Jones’s phone.
As she expected, the phone was answered after two rings. "Honey." His voice sounded particularly pleasant over the phone.
Christine Quinn couldn’t stop the joy in her heart, but she didn’t want to tell him at that moment, so she pursed her lips and giggled silently.
"Honey..."
"I’m here."
Hearing her in good spirits, Skyler Jones chuckled softly, "Is there some good news you want to share with me?"
Unexpectedly, even over the phone, he could sense it. Christine Quinn immediately suppressed her smile, maintaining a serious tone, "No, just called to ask what you’re doing now." 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
"I just got back."
"Oh... Was today very busy?"
"Yeah, but everything went smoothly. Maybe I can come home in less than half a month."
Skyler Jones seemed to have just entered the house, and Christine could faintly hear the respectful voices of servants in Y City on the phone.
Christine Quinn’s eyes lit up with joy, "Really?"
"Yeah."
"Then come back soon... I, I miss you a lot."
Skyler Jones, satisfied, kissed the phone, transmitting his affection to her, "I miss you too."
At this moment, a knock sounded on the door.
Christine Quinn quickly said to Skyler Jones, "I have to go, someone’s at the door..."
"Okay."
Ending the call, Christine Quinn contentedly went to open the door.
It was Rebecca Quentin, who was playfully looking at Christine Quinn, "On the phone with your brother-in-law again?"
"Any problem with that?"
Rebecca Quentin entered the room, affectionately linking arms with Christine Quinn, "No problem... But someone planning a surprise for her brother-in-law better be careful not to accidentally spill the beans!"
"Don’t worry, my lips are sealed tight."
"Alright, let’s head downstairs..." Rebecca Quentin said, linking arms with Christine Quinn as they left the room.
Christine Quinn asked puzzled, "Why are we going downstairs?"
Rebecca Quentin sternly said, "To see Mom downstairs... You might want to surprise your brother-in-law with the pregnancy news, but you can’t keep it from Mom, or how will she arrange for someone to take care of you?"
"Okay."
Christine Quinn followed Rebecca Quentin to the first floor.
Mrs. Geoffrey was teasing her adorable granddaughter...
Seeing from a distance how much Mrs. Geoffrey adored her granddaughter, Christine Quinn couldn’t help but feel a little excited.
"Mom..." Rebecca Quentin called out with a smile.
Seeing her two daughters-in-law, Mrs. Geoffrey’s face was full of affection, "Come over and sit... Just look how cute Little Nancy is, she’s already saying ’grandma’..."
Rebecca Quentin, leaning close to Mrs. Geoffrey, teased, "Mom, Little Nancy is just asking for milk, she doesn’t really know how to call you yet..."
"But I feel like she’s calling me... Right, Little Nancy..." Mrs. Geoffrey’s affection for her granddaughter was evident.
"Mom, I have something important to tell you..." Rebecca Quentin said joyfully, taking Little Nancy from Mrs. Geoffrey’s arms.
Seeing the unstoppable smile on Rebecca Quentin’s face, Mrs. Geoffrey asked, "What’s the matter?"
Rebecca Quentin turned her gaze to Christine Quinn, "Do you notice anything different about your sister?"
Mrs. Geoffrey immediately looked at Christine Quinn and smiled, "I can’t see how she’s different from usual?"
