Contract Marriage: Abusive Love with Mr.CEO-Chapter 787 - 407: Extra Story: Why Does His Heart Hurt So Much? (2_2)
Even if she is with Jonathon Gibson, she still has no reason not to return, unless there is a reason for her not to come back... Is this reason related to her illness?
What exactly is her illness? Why must she keep it hidden?
An abrupt phone vibration interrupted Skyler Jones’s contemplation. He buried his sorrowful emotions instantly, then pressed the answer button.
A respectful voice came from the phone, "Mr. Jones, we have located Jonathon Gibson’s residence in England."
"Good, send the address to me."
"Yes."
Ending the call, Skyler Jones pressed the house phone on the desk to call in his secretary.
"Ernie, push all my schedules to next week. I need to go abroad for something."
"Okay, President."
After the secretary left, Skyler Jones picked up the phone again and dialed a number— "Make arrangements, I’m heading to England."
Night.
Marie hugged MashiMaro and gently knocked on her father’s door.
Skyler Jones, dressed in pajamas, opened the door, "Marie."
"Daddy, I want to chat with you for a while."
"Alright."
Marie walked into the room, folded her legs, and sat down on the sofa.
Skyler Jones pulled up a chair and sat opposite Marie, gently asking, "Can’t sleep?"
Marie nodded her chin on MashiMaro.
Skyler Jones chuckled softly and caressed his daughter’s cheek, "Silly girl, didn’t Daddy tell you, Daddy will be back in a couple of days."
"But Mommy isn’t home either, now the house only has me left."
"Daddy is going away for just two days."
"Daddy, are you going to find Mommy?"
"What?"
Marie mumbled, "Don’t lie to me, I know you’re going to find Mommy... Mommy definitely isn’t coming back, so you are going to England to bring her back."
Skyler Jones couldn’t quite handle his daughter’s intelligence.
Marie pleadedly looked at Skyler Jones, "Daddy, you must bring Mommy back, okay?"
"Daddy will... Though Daddy is indeed going to England to find your Mommy, it’s not that Mommy isn’t coming back. She’s delayed in England with something, so Daddy is going to bring her back."
"But aren’t you even able to be friends? Why are you going to England to bring Mommy back?"
"Who told you I can’t even be friends with your Mommy?"
"Mommy said so..."
"She said that?" Skyler Jones frowned, "When?"
"Just some time ago, Mommy told me when you come back, you and Mommy will separate and live your own lives, you won’t often see each other... Isn’t this even not being friends?"
"Your Mommy misunderstood, Daddy doesn’t want to stop being friends with her."
"Really?" Marie widened her innocent eyes to stare at Skyler Jones, "You will be friends with Mommy, and meet often in the future?"
"Of course, we have you!"
"Why can you be friends, but not spouses?" Marie asked her father, feeling disheartened.
"Well..."
"Daddy, is it because you have someone you like?"
This question Skyler Jones did not answer.
Marie asked again, "Is it the aunt with the surname Ren reported in the newspaper?"
Skyler Jones looked serenely at his daughter, "Daddy told you, the newspaper is all nonsense."
"But the newspaper also reported news about your possible divorce... Plus, Mommy said you have someone you like."
Skyler Jones softly muttered, "Your Mommy doesn’t understand me."
"Huh? You said Mommy doesn’t understand you?"
"Alright, Marie, children shouldn’t have so many questions."
"Oh."
"Be good, Daddy will take you to your room to sleep."
"Okay."
Skyler Jones lifted Marie, letting her head rest on his shoulder.
As they left the room, Marie didn’t forget to remind her father, "Daddy, you must bring Mommy back."
"Daddy will, Daddy promises you."
England, London.
Through dark tinted lenses, Skyler Jones crossed his arms, looking up to examine the house standing tall under the blazing morning sun.
The breeze tousled his carefree black hair, adding to his charming face with more allure. His proud standing figure exuded a unique, innate sovereign charisma.
The dark sunglasses covered his eyes, making it impossible for the following subordinates to guess if the master’s mood was good or bad.
As if a century-long time had passed, just when the accompanying men thought the master might become a fossil, a low magnetic voice came from Skyler Jones’s mouth—
"Justin." Skyler Jones still stared at the house in front, speaking without turning.
"At your service." The subordinate named Justin appeared in Skyler Jones’s sight.
"Did you check carefully? Is this indeed Jonathon Gibson’s residence in London?"
"Thoroughly checked, this is Jonathon Gibson’s independent house in England. He is not living with his parents."
"Okay."
"Mr. Jones, should I go knock on the door?"
"No need." Skyler Jones removed his sunglasses, revealing bright and spirited eyes, "He’s already out."
Skyler Jones’s words prompted everyone to turn towards the villa’s gate.
Sure enough, an expensive vehicle drove out from the villa.
Skyler Jones leaned against the car behind him, letting his men step forward to block the moving car.
Inside the car, Jonathon Gibson never expected to face Skyler Jones. With several subordinates preventing him, he stopped the car and met Skyler Jones face-to-face.
"Councilor Gibson, long time no see."
"Mr. Jones, what brings you here?"
Skyler Jones straightened his body from the car, his dominant eyes scanning Jonathon Gibson, "We are all smart people, no need to play dumb with me?"
Jonathon Gibson pretended to think seriously, "For the new project?"
Skyler Jones snorted lightly, "For Christine!" He disliked beating around the bush, directly stated.
"You mean Christine... I haven’t seen her for several days either."
"Is that so?" Skyler Jones cast a sideways glance at Jonathon Gibson, smirking, "If I’m not mistaken, my wife came to England with you."
Jonathon Gibson did not deny, "Yes, I came to England with Christine, but once in England, we separated..."
