Contract Marriage: Abusive Love with Mr.CEO-Chapter 781 - 404: Extra Story: Swearing to Find You 1_2
Speak clearly, darling.
I’m talking about getting married!!
Hehe...
Don’t play dumb, you won’t let me stay with you without a title, will you?
Hehehe...
Hello...
Memories played like a slideshow in his mind. His lips slowly curled up, as if still immersed in those romantic and happy moments. The cup he tightly held in his hand slipped slowly from his grip as his body relaxed...
...
The vibration of the phone rang at this moment.
Anxiously, he tried his best to stand with his unstable body and took out the phone from his suit jacket.
Without looking at the number on the phone screen, he immediately pressed the answer button.
"Oversky."
A sweet and gentle female voice came from the phone.
His eyes were dazed, a smile on his face, "I thought you weren’t going to call me."
"How could that be? I miss you."
"Why didn’t you tell me earlier that you miss me?"
"Hey, I tell you every day, it’s just that you don’t take it seriously!"
"Then say it more now, I like to hear it..."
"I miss you, I miss you, Oversky, I miss you..."
"I miss you too, baby."
"What did you call me, ’baby’? It seems like you’ve never called me that... Oversky..."
The Skyler Jones on this end of the phone didn’t respond.
"Oversky, Oversky, are you still there..."
He collapsed on the sofa. At this moment, the phone was already lying quietly on the cashmere carpet in the room...
The next day.
Skyler Jones was awakened by a knocking sound.
He sat up, the hangover made his head hurt unbearably...
After rubbing his temples until the pain subsided, he finally looked around.
He was in his own room but slept on the sofa, with glasses and bottles around, the pungent smell of alcohol filled the entire room.
He shook his head, recalling that he seemed to have drunk a lot last night.
Knock, knock...
The knocking became urgent.
He got up, walked to the bedroom door, and opened it.
Sure enough, standing outside the door was his daughter...
Besides his daughter, who else in the house would dare disturb his morning dream like this.
"Daddy..."
"Marie, what’s wrong?"
Marilyn Quinn smelled faintly of alcohol on him, "Did you drink last night?"
"Hmm, just a little."
"Didn’t you promise me you wouldn’t get drunk again?"
"Uh, daddy..."
Marilyn seemed to ask casually, but had a more urgent matter, "Daddy, is mommy in your room?"
Skyler Jones shook his head.
Marilyn said worriedly, "That’s strange... Mommy has been sleeping with me for so long, but when I woke up, I didn’t see her. I asked the maids, they said they hadn’t seen her either..."
Of course, the maids didn’t see Christine Quinn, because he had already instructed them last night.
"Your mommy went abroad."
"Abroad?" Marilyn said in shock, "Why did mommy suddenly go abroad?"
"She went to handle some things."
"What things?"
"Daddy doesn’t know either..."
"Why didn’t mommy tell me she was going abroad?" Marilyn muttered disappointedly.
Skyler Jones squatted down, gently holding Marilyn’s shoulders, and said softly, "It’s okay, your mommy will be back in a while... During this time, daddy will take care of you."
Marilyn stretched out her hands, wrapped them around her father’s neck, looked at him with big eyes, and asked tentatively, "Daddy, you haven’t decided whether to divorce yet, right?"
Skyler Jones remained silent for a few seconds before nodding lightly, "Yes." If he didn’t sign, the marriage would still be valid for at least two years.
Marilyn heaved a big sigh of relief, "Then I’m relieved... Mommy will come back soon, she can’t bear to leave me."
"Kids shouldn’t worry too much about adult matters, be good... Have you had breakfast?"
"Not yet."
"Then wait for daddy, I’ll take a shower and change clothes, and then have breakfast with you later."
"Okay."
After Marie went to school, Skyler Jones went to the company.
After staying in New York for about half a year, he returned to the company, only to find a heap of things waiting for him to handle.
Normally, he would be very upset, but today, he strangely enjoyed the busy feeling, as if only by keeping himself busy could his mind not have the spare time to think about other things.
In the blink of an eye, he was busy in the company the whole day. At the end of the day, the secretary gently knocked on the door and asked him, "President, aren’t you leaving?"
He leaned back against the chair, thoughtful.
The secretary softly called again, "President..."
He returned to his senses and nodded, "Hmm, you go home first, I’ll turn off the lights."
"Alright." The secretary happily left.
Turning the swivel chair to face the floor-to-ceiling window, he realized that it was already dark, the entire city adorned with the dots of lights.
He stood up, pulled out the chair, picked up his suit jacket to leave, then heard the "ding" of the elevator.
Thinking the secretary had forgotten something, he put down the jacket to give instructions for tomorrow’s schedule.
However, in the next second, he heard the crisp and elegant sound of high heels...
From the sound of those footsteps, he seemed to already recognize the visitor...
Sure enough, the next second, the elegantly dressed Jennifer Douglas appeared in front of him.
At this moment, she was wearing a neat ponytail, carried a tasteful handbag, and stood gracefully in front of him on twelve-inch high heels, with a light and subtle smile.
Skyler Jones frowned slightly.
Jennifer Douglas slowly walked up to him, suddenly let the handbag in her hand fall, reached out to circle his neck, "Darling, I’m here..."
Skyler Jones didn’t return Jennifer’s hug, his tone wasn’t filled with much joy, just said lightly, "Why did you suddenly come?"
Jennifer pouted and said coquettishly, "How can you say it’s sudden? You said you missed me last night, so I came..."
"Last night?"
Jennifer said angrily, "Did you forget? I called you last night, and you said you missed me so much..."
