Contract Marriage: Abusive Love with Mr.CEO Chapter 176 - 99: He Wants Her to Avoid Him from Now On

The warm breeze gently blew, yet she felt a deep chill. The laughter and chatter of those around her filled her ears, making her feel unusually irritated.

An unexpected and unanticipated life has appeared in this world, such a tragic and cruel thing.

It felt like a corner of the world in front of her had collapsed, that feeling of helplessness and a tangled ss inside, hitting her heart more fiercely than it did four years ago.

Watching the small child, trustingly holding their mother’s hand, they walked past her talking and laughing happily. That sight made her heart warm slightly.

Rebecca Quentin wore an expressionless face, her hollow eyes looked as if they had lost their soul. As if acting on impulse, she reached out her hand and gently placed it on her abdon, where a small life resided.

Knock, knock—

There was a knock on the door from outside.

Rebecca Quentin snapped back from her daze by the window, got up, and opened the door.

"Becca!"

It was, unsurprisingly, Skyler Jones who had co.

Rebecca Quentin smiled faintly, "Co in!"

Skyler Jones fixed his gaze on Rebecca Quentin’s bloodless face, "You don’t look well, Becca..."

Rebecca Quentin shrugged nonchalantly and smiled, "Do I look like sothing’s wrong?"

The matter with Howard Geoffrey, he knew, would not be easily erased from her heart. But he also knew her stubbornness and pride would never allow her to show weakness in front of others, so he left it unspoken.

Skyler Jones smiled in response, "I won’t sit down. I ca because I have sothing to tell you."

"Alright, go ahead."

"I’m leaving for a month. There are many things waiting for to handle in Y City, so I’ll be flying out of T City tonight."

Rebecca Quentin nodded, "Mm, ’Oversky’ can’t do without you."

Skyler Jones looked deeply at Rebecca Quentin, "Once I’ve dealt with the company’s matters, I will return to T City as soon as possible."

Rebecca Quentin asked in confusion, "Do you have sothing else to co to T City for?" It seed that the projects of "Oversky" and "Skytop" had already wrapped up.

Skyler Jones said softly, "You’re here."

Rebecca Quentin shook her head with a laugh, "I’m not a three-year-old child. I can take care of myself."

Skyler Jones frowned, "But I’m not at ease."

Rebecca Quentin sighed and quietly said, "Mr. Jones, I’m just a passerby in your life."

Skyler Jones murmured in a hoarse voice, "Whether you’re just a passerby isn’t for you to decide."

"Mr. Jones, I really don’t want you to waste your ti on . You know, I tried once, but..." Rebecca Quentin said with guilt, "I’m really not worth you being so good to ..."

"Don’t say that, Becca. I’m a businessman; I know what’s worth doing."

"But I..."

Skyler Jones stopped her by holding her shoulders, gently saying, "You shouldn’t feel guilty nor pressured... I only hope we can be like before, chatting and working together, casually and easily."

Rebecca Quentin’s eyes widened in surprise, "If I go to ’Oversky’, would you still be willing to keep ?"

Skyler Jones gently said, "If you wish, the secretary position for Mr. Jones can always be reserved for you."

Her heart felt warm, yet she knew she couldn’t repay him. The only thing she could say to him was simply "Thank you."

"Alright, enough said. The vice president is urging to go back... I’ll return soon."

"Mr. Jones, if you’re coming back because of , please, you don’t have to. I’ll consider going to Y City, and I promise you, if I decide to go, I will let you know in advance."

"Okay." Skyler Jones reluctantly pulled Rebecca Quentin into his arms. He didn’t want to force her; he wouldn’t refuse anything she said.

Suddenly pulled into Skyler Jones’ embrace, Rebecca Quentin initially resisted slightly, but eventually chose to close her eyes and gently hug him back.

Skyler Jones always said he liked the ease of being with her; wasn’t she the sa?

He was like the winter sun, bringing the warst heat to her cold self. Many tis, she too wanted to rely on him like this.

But she knew the feeling he gave her was because she has always seen him like an older brother. She could never give him what he wanted, so she couldn’t selfishly accept more of his care.

Skyler Jones kissed her fragrant hair gently, then released Rebecca Quentin slowly, his soulful eyes gazing at her delicate face, as if filled with deep longing and affection. He said hoarsely, "I’ll be waiting for you in Y City."
