Chapter 958: Chapter 493: Extra Story: Off to Prepare the Wedding Surprise? (2)

Christine Quinn still maintained a light smile, but no one could see the extreme sadness hidden within her smile at this moment.

"Alright, don’t be nervous, I was just saying, you know I’m not a sentimental person," Christine quinn said with a smile.

Rebecca Quentin breathed a sigh of relief. "It’s good that you’re fine. I was really afraid you were overthinking..."

Christine Quinn pulled Rebecca Quentin up, "Come on, while Anna is asleep, accompany me in the garden for a longer walk..."

"Okay."

Tonight’s dinner was personally cooked by Christine Quinn.

Even though she hadn’t cooked for a long time, Christine Quinn’s skills remained practiced, leaving Rebecca Quentin and Marie full of praise.

"Mommy, the food you made is so delicious, I haven’t had your cooking in so long..."

Christine Quinn handed a bowl of soup to Marie, "Then have some more soup, mommy simmered it all afternoon."

"Auntie, I also really like the soup you made," Andrew said from the side.

Christine Quinn nodded contentedly, "Our little Andy is the most well-behaved."

Rebecca Quentin patted Andrew’s little head, turned to Christine Quinn and asked, "Sis, what made you think of cooking today?"

Christine Quinn replied, "I always want to cook for you all, it’s mom who doesn’t allow it. Now that she’s not here, I have a chance."

"True, mom cares for you a lot. Lately, when your health wasn’t good, before mom left, she instructed Aunt Helen to remember how to take care of you with the nutritionist. Mom said she wanted to make you healthy and plump."

Christine Quinn chuckled, "I know mom is good to me."

"It’s a pity Howard isn’t home tonight for the dinner party, otherwise he would definitely be praising your cooking endlessly, you know he’s always picky," Rebecca Quentin said while enjoying the soup.

"You should learn cooking from mom, and surprise him with a table of good dishes sometime."

"Sis, actually my cooking skills aren’t bad either, almost as good as mom’s, just far from yours... If I were to learn, I wouldn’t learn from mom, I’d learn from you," Rebecca Quentin teased flatteringly.

Christine Quinn chuckled without responding. She was afraid there would be no chance to teach her sister cooking now, for she had decided to leave tonight.

With Mrs. Geoffrey and Skyler Jones out, and Howard out for dinner, only Rebecca Quentin was at home. It was the best time for her to leave...

She didn’t want to delay anymore, a decision she had to face eventually, so she might as well decide early...

Leaving, Marie was the only worry she had, but fortunately, Marie was a mature and understanding child, and she knew Marie would understand her decision...

At night.

Christine Quinn sat on the edge of the bed, sorting through clothes she took out from the wardrobe.

She hadn’t decided where to go yet, but she wanted to get to the airport quickly...

Once at the airport, no matter where the ticket was for, she just wanted to leave here as soon as possible.

She knew that if she stayed in this house any longer, her attachment would grow deeper, so she couldn’t leave any room for hesitation.

Stuffing clothes into the suitcase piece by piece, Christine Quinn’s eyes grew moist.

This departure would mean that she and he would be completely separated in this life...

Although very clear that this choice was right, thinking about him being loving with someone else after she left made her heart ache...

She was selfish, she couldn’t bear to watch the one she loved be with another woman, but what choice did she have?

Forcing things would not bring happiness, if she held onto him for life, even if she seemed happy on the surface, what guilt and remorse would she have underneath?

She had no right to blame him for falling for someone else, because it was she who ruined the beautiful relationship they once had. After so many years, it was only natural that he fell for another...

She just hoped that in future days, the woman he loved could truly bring him happiness.

After packing, Christine Quinn took out her usual diary and on the last page left a line of words――

Thank you for the care and attention you’ve given me these days, but love knows no responsibility or pity, I won’t blame you... I’m leaving, I hope you find the person you love and seek your own happiness.

She succinctly left this sentence, tears already moistening Christine Quinn’s eyes.

Resolutely, she wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, not allowing herself any reluctance or sadness.

Just as Christine Quinn was pulling her suitcase towards the door, her phone suddenly rang.
