Contract Marriage: Abusive Love with Mr.CEO-Chapter 685 - 356: Extra Story: Skyler Jones and Christine Quinn Go on Vacation_2
Howard Geoffrey put Andrew down, instructed him, "Daddy and Mommy have something to talk about," and Andrew obediently ran out of the room.
Once the room was left with only Howard Geoffrey and Rebecca Quentin, Howard took the diary from Rebecca’s hands and casually flipped through a few pages.
"Are you interested in his affairs?" Howard asked.
"I just want to see if there’s anything in this diary that could touch his inner world and help him wake up."
"So what have you found out?"
"I never thought he..."
Howard turned to look at Rebecca and continued her sentence, "He’s been looking for you for so many years."
Rebecca nodded, "If it weren’t for reading Chester Robinson’s diary, I wouldn’t have remembered anything from our childhood at all."
Howard placed the diary on the table and beckoned Rebecca over.
Rebecca walked over to Howard’s side and was embraced by him.
His chin rested on her slender shoulder as he softly asked, "What do you feel after knowing this?"
Rebecca leaned against Howard’s chest and calmly said, "I just didn’t expect that I had such a connection with him since childhood."
Darling, of course, you didn’t expect it, because the creator of this connection was your mother.
Back then, Vivian Lindsey had already found Chester Robinson, and to make sure her adopted son would love and protect her biological daughter in the future, she bribed the kindergarten principal with money so you could meet Chester...
"There’s no denying, you and he have a strong connection."
Rebecca glanced back at her husband with a teasing smile in her eyes, "Is someone getting jealous?"
Howard chuckled lightly and pecked her slightly pouting lips, "I don’t need to be jealous, you’re already my wife, no one can take you away."
Seeing the possessiveness in Howard’s eyes, Rebecca smiled softly, her heart filled with sweetness.
"Oh, hubby, I haven’t told you about my sister and Mr. Jones."
"Hmm, how are they getting along?"
Rebecca replied, "These past couple of days, they’re going on vacation."
Howard raised an eyebrow, "Vacation?"
"Yeah, my sister told me."
Howard had a smile on his lips, "Seems like it’s going well!"
Rebecca’s eyes sparkled brightly, "I think so too, and my sister said she’s getting along well with Mr. Jones these days. They show great rapport in front of Marie and rarely have any tension in private."
Howard tightened his embrace on Rebecca, a slight curve on his lips, "It’s about time they reached a conclusion."
Rebecca dreamed of it with a smile, "Hmm."
Flowery Kingdom, HN City.
Although Skyler Jones hasn’t been caught up in business recently, several projects under "Oversky" are still in progress, so they chose a vacation spot within the country.
At this moment, Skyler Jones and Christine Quinn entered the hotel, and a porter helped with their luggage.
Skyler Jones and Christine Quinn did not engage in much conversation throughout the process, but they both seemed to be in good spirits, possibly thanks to the unique island scenery of HN City, which refreshed their minds and opened their hearts as soon as they arrived.
"Mr. Jones, please this way."
The porter led them into the elevator.
Christine Quinn quietly followed Skyler Jones, letting him handle everything.
The elevator stopped on the eighth floor of the hotel.
The porter opened a room door, dragged the luggage inside, and respectfully said, "Mr. Jones, this is the honeymoon suite you reserved."
Skyler Jones glanced at the suite’s decor and nodded in satisfaction, "Not bad," and then handed a bill to the porter.
The porter, grateful for the tip, quickly placed the luggage into the room and left swiftly, not disturbing them further.
Standing at the room’s entrance, Christine Quinn’s heart pounded, and she seemed a bit at a loss.
Skyler Jones gently said to Christine Quinn, "Are you tired? Take a rest, and if you don’t want to sleep, we can go get some food."
Christine Quinn said, "I want to rest for a while."
Skyler Jones nodded, "I’ll go outside for a smoke. Call me if you need anything."
"Alright."
Skyler Jones then turned around.
"Uh, wait a minute."
Skyler Jones turned back, "What’s wrong?"
Christine Quinn glanced at the romantically decorated honeymoon room in front of her, and that big bed that sparked imagination, her cheeks flushed, her voice becoming somewhat unnatural, "Um... which room am I going to sleep in?"
Skyler Jones glanced at the large room in front of Christine Quinn that sparked imagination.
Feeling rather awkward, Christine Quinn said, "Marie isn’t here now, so we don’t need to act."
Skyler Jones nodded, "So this room is for you to rest, I’ll find somewhere else tonight..."
Christine Quinn asked casually, "Then why did you book... the honeymoon suite?"
"Because this is the Honeymoon Hotel, and the booking was made by Marie for you and me."
Christine Quinn’s face turned red with embarrassment and she said no more.
Skyler Jones walked away on his own.
Christine Quinn watched Skyler Jones’s departing figure, feeling a strange sense of loss, she breathed in and then walked into the hotel.
After a few hours of flying, Christine Quinn felt somewhat tired, and after locking the door, she collapsed onto the big bed in the room.
Originally feeling sleepy, the moment she lay on the bed, she suddenly didn’t want to sleep anymore.
Her mind was a mess, so she stared blankly at the ceiling.
She and Skyler Jones were actually on vacation, which was truly unbelievable, but even more unbelievable was that she and Skyler Jones were married.
For Marie, making such a decision, Skyler Jones indeed fulfilled his responsibility as a father, but for him, who was forced into marriage, how does he really feel deep down? Or in other words, marriage is not child’s play, and this marriage is obviously just a convenience, is it worth it for him to sacrifice his marriage for Marie?
This marriage doesn’t matter much to her.
In the future, if she wants to find a new boyfriend, given her age and the fact that she already has an eleven-year-old child, the man she’d look for wouldn’t be ideally suited either—either a man in a second marriage or a single man with a child—so whether she has a marriage history doesn’t affect her ability to find a partner in the future, but he’s different...
