Contract Marriage: Abusive Love with Mr.CEO-Chapter 758 - 393: Extra: Watching Him Sleep

Marie was very disappointed because Skyler Jones hadn’t come back yet, which means that tomorrow, on Marie’s birthday, Skyler Jones probably wouldn’t make it...

Previously, Skyler Jones had told Marie that he’s been very busy lately and might ultimately not be able to make it back...

Marie is a very understanding child; she didn’t blame her father, but she was very disappointed, and her mood hadn’t been as lively as usual these days.

Christine Quinn observed Marie’s disappointment and felt a deep heartache for her daughter.

Even Christine herself thought Skyler would definitely come back, because he had always doted on Marie...

So, she felt that his excuse of being too busy with work to come back was just a lie to the child.

He would indeed be very busy overseeing the project in New York, but as the CEO of "Oversky," he had a team of people working hard for him. Taking a day off or even a week off probably wouldn’t be a big problem.

Unless he didn’t want to come back.

Why wouldn’t he want to come back?

Does he not want to see her?

That might be a reason, but it shouldn’t be the main reason why he didn’t return. After all, when in New York, he was willing to stay under the same roof with her for Marie, and on such an important day, he had no reason to let Marie down because of her.

If it wasn’t because he didn’t want to come back, then it must be because there was something more important for him to deal with in New York... So, what could be more important to him than Marie?

"Mommy, I’m going to sleep."

Marie’s voice interrupted Christine Quinn’s thoughts.

Christine, sitting on the sofa, hugged her daughter and softly asked, "Are you hungry? Mommy noticed you haven’t eaten much tonight."

Marie lowered her head and said, "I’m not hungry."

"Silly girl... Even if Daddy doesn’t come back, Mommy will still be here to celebrate your birthday with you... Be good... Tomorrow is your birthday, so cheer up."

"I know, Mommy. I’m fine."

"Alright, go back to your room first, Mommy will come to keep you company in a bit."

"Okay, Mommy, goodnight."

"Goodnight."

After Marie returned to her room, Christine Quinn sat alone on the sofa in the hall, sighing quietly.

Suddenly, "Madam, do you still want to read these magazines?" A housekeeper responsible for cleaning asked Christine Quinn.

Christine leaned against the sofa, her voice somewhat weary, "Leave one or two, I’ll take them to the room to read later."

"Alright."

Lately, her insomnia had been severe, and she really couldn’t sleep without reading some magazines or something.

"Then I’ll leave you the ones from the last two days!"

"Okay."

After tidying up, the housekeeper promptly departed.

Christine Quinn leaned on the sofa for a while, afraid that her daughter was upset in the room, she picked up a magazine and prepared to go back to the room.

Accidentally, a magazine fell to the ground.

Christine Quinn casually picked it up, and upon seeing the person on the cover, Jennifer Douglas, she took a longer look.

On the cover, the purple diamond bracelet on Jennifer Douglas’s wrist was particularly conspicuous.

Actually, anyone with a discerning eye could easily guess the relationship between Jennifer Douglas and Skyler Jones, especially since this purple diamond bracelet was originally auctioned by Skyler Jones.

The media must have been well aware of Jennifer Douglas and Skyler Jones’s relationship, but they were just cautious of Skyler Jones, not daring to break the news.

Christine Quinn sighed lightly, casually flipped open the magazine, and glanced at it.

The next moment, she frowned tightly.

The magazine reported on Jennifer Douglas’s family background, and she immediately saw Jennifer Douglas’s birthday time, which turned out to be just one day apart from Marie’s.

Christine Quinn suddenly understood the reason Skyler Jones couldn’t come back...

Furiously throwing the magazine on the ground, Christine Quinn heavily sat on the sofa, biting her lip tightly.

A wave of pain swept across her chest, a faint pain triggered by the stimulation her heart received.

Christine Quinn stroked her chest, took several deep breaths to relieve the pain, then took out her phone.

She originally didn’t plan to call him, after all, over the more than a month since he returned from New York, except for the day he called to scold her for not being a good guardian to Marie, she hadn’t contacted him, and they really didn’t need to stay in touch, but at this moment, thinking of her daughter’s disappointed face, she truly couldn’t bear it.

No matter how carefree he and Jennifer Douglas want to be together, she didn’t care, but since he promised their child, he should keep his word. If he couldn’t do it, he shouldn’t have promised in the first place.

Could he really care so much about Jennifer Douglas?

Did he give up coming back to celebrate Marie’s birthday because of Jennifer’s birthday? That’s simply too excessive!!
