After saying that, Christine Quinn hung up the phone without waiting for Rebecca Quentin to respond.
Christine Quinn returned to Skyler Jones with a smile.
She said, "Becca is still like a child, every ti she talks to we end up chatting for a long ti."
"When is she due?"
"Hmm, the due date seems to be the 5th of next month..."
"When she has the baby, it’ll be about ti Marie is on sumr break, and our family can go to New York to visit her."
"Okay."
Skyler Jones reached out. "Co here..."
Christine smiled lightly and held Skyler Jones’s hand.
Skyler Jones rotated his long arm to make Christine sit on his lap.
Christine exclaid instinctively and wanted to leave his lap, but he firmly wrapped his arm around her waist.
Not quite used to sitting on his lap, Christine’s face turned red, "What are you doing?"
Skyler stole a kiss on her blushing cheek, hugged her tightly, and said contentedly, "It’s been a long ti since I’ve held you like this..."
Yes, it’s been over a decade, and once these actions felt so natural for them.
"Hey, we’re not kids anymore, it doesn’t seem quite right to do these things."
"Then what kind of things are right for us? Adult things?"
"Skyler Jones, it’s broad daylight, no getting fresh!!"
Skyler laughed mischievously, whispered in her ear, "Okay, we’ll do it tonight then."
"Hey..."
"Alright, alright, let’s stop teasing, let’s talk about sothing serious."
Christine sat comfortably on Skyler Jones’s lap, swinging her legs, "Speak."
"Will you leave again?"
Christine turned her face to look at Skyler Jones’s affectionate expression, "Are you afraid I’ll leave you now?"
Skyler nodded seriously.
Christine smiled and asked back, "Do you think I’ll leave you?"
"I don’t think you will."
Christine reached out and pinched Skyler Jones’s handso face playfully, "Of course I won’t, if I leave, who will take care of you, you disabled person?"
Skyler seed to enjoy Christine’s teasing, and asked casually, "What if I’m not disabled then?"
"It’d be great if you’re not disabled..."
"I an, if I’m not disabled, would you choose to co back to ?"
"That’s..."
"Hmm?"
Christine widened her eyes, looking at Skyler Jones, deliberately acting as if she was about to answer but eventually said briskly, "Sorry, I don’t answer hypothetical questions, unless you stand up right now, then I can answer you."
"Naughty." Skyler chuckled, worried inside for her non-answer at the mont.
Prior to this he tried every possible way to bring her back to his side, now that he finally succeeded, he felt uneasy...
If one day she finds out he used "paralysis" to deceive her into coming back, would she be angry and leave again? He once thought everything would be easily resolved once she returns to him, but now he realizes this seems like a big trouble.
It’s impossible for lies to last all my life, hence he must address this lie early, otherwise the longer it lasts, the more troubleso it becos.
"By the way, what did Jennifer Douglas say to you just now?" Christine suddenly asked curiously.
Skyler answered frankly, "Nothing, just so blessing words."
Recalling Charles Douglas’s hesitant deanor in front of Skyler, Christine probed, "Really?"
Skyler said nervously, "If you don’t believe , I can pull up the surveillance from the villa right now."
"Hey, I’m not doubting you, I’m just asking casually..."
Skyler hugged Christine tightly, turning his head to savor her neck’s fragrance, "I promise she won’t appear again."
Christine said with a hint of jealousy, "She seems quite concerned about you... When she saw you said you wanted to sell ’Oversky’, she flew from New York to see you imdiately, I think she’s quite attached to you, why don’t you consider it..."
At that mont, Skyler bit heavily on Christine’s neck.
"Ah!"
Skyler spoke huskily, "Don’t bring up old matters again."
"You bit really hard!" Christine shrank her neck, annoyed, "I’m not trying to confront you with anything, I’m serious..."
Skyler leaned in for another bite.
This ti Christine cried out even louder, "Hey, what are you doing..."
"Don’t ever try to pawn off to soone else."
Listening to his domineering warning, Christine felt sweet in her heart, "Alright, I was just joking with you, even if I wanted to hand you over to Jennifer Douglas, she might not want you, don’t forget, I didn’t tell her about your paralysis yet... She’s young and beautiful, previously she was infatuated with you because you were handso and wealthy, now with your lower body disabled and older, why would she still want you?"
"What?" Skyler squinted slyly.
Christine turned to look at him, "Hmm?"
Skyler narrowed his eyes into a mischievous slit, "Complaining I’m old again?"
Christine laughed mischievously, "Well, you are old!"
"n in their forties are just reaching their pri."
"Yes, yes, still charming, it’s just..."
"Just what?"
Christine provocatively glanced at Skyler’s lower half, "Certain functions might have already declined."
Skyler suddenly pinched Christine’s waist, making her sit squarely on his knees, pressed firmly against her, squinted his eyes and looked at her wickedly, "Do you feel it?"
She instantly blushed with embarrassnt, and before she could apologize to a certain soone, that certain soone had already used the subsequent heat to make her beg for rcy...
Noon.
During lunch, Marie kept looking at Christine.
"What’s wrong, daughter?"
Feeling uncomfortable being stared at by her daughter, Christine couldn’t help but ask.
Marie blinked her eyes and said, "Why is your face so red?"
"Ah?"
Christine’s face turned even redder when Marie asked like that, "Is it?"
"Yes, your face is redder than an apple."
Christine reached out and touched her own face, "Uh, maybe it’s because the weather is hot today..."
"But mommy..."
"Hmm?"
