"So I’ve now drawn a clear line with her."
"Are you saying I should draw a clear line with Jonathon too?"
"Naturally, you are my woman now."
"You’re really unreasonable... does being with you an I can’t have friends?"
"Female friends are okay, male friends... sorry, not allowed."
"What about Howard Geoffrey?"
"He belongs to your family now."
"Cough..."
Christine suddenly realized that this person was simply a selfish, domineering, unreasonable and petty man. She really wondered how she ever fell for him.
But co to think of it, he seed to have always been like that...
Over a decade ago, she rely ntioned to him once that a certain male employee in the company was quite good-looking, and the next day she never saw that employee co to work again.
Really...
A case of bad judgnt!
"What are you thinking about for so long?"
"Nothing... nothing at all!"
Skyler Jones looked at her shrewdly, "Are you criticizing in your heart again?"
Does he have X-ray vision?
Christine internally grumbled.
"Not at all... there’s nothing bad about you for to comnt on."
"That’s true."
Ugh, he really knows how to take advantage when given the chance, so shaless.
Skyler extended his long arm to pull Christine beside him, pampering her, "Alright then, it’s just a doctor’s appointnt, I’ll go."
"Alright, I’ll contact Jonathon later."
"No, you don’t need to contact him, I’ve already found a renowned doctor who can cure my legs."
Christine excitedly asked, "Who... who is it?"
"You know this person too..."
"I know them too?"
"Chester Robinson."
"Huh?"
Christine asked in shock, "You an Chester? The ’Doctor Robinson’ who’s quite fond of Becca?"
"You sound like you have quite a liking for him too?"
"Of course, he’s elegant and gentlemanly, he looks particularly dashing in a white coat."
Skyler frowned, "Are you sure you want to express your admiration for another man in front of your husband?"
"Hey, even at this you’re getting jealous, aren’t you being a bit too petty?"
"I’ve never been generous."
Christine blinked as she looked at his composed deanor and couldn’t help but shake her head. To say being petty with such righteousness — this person is beyond saving.
Skyler then said, "Chester will be my attending physician and help with my treatnt."
Christine asked with doubt, "As far as I know, Chester is an authority on gynecology. He was the one who treated Becca’s infertility. Since when does he treat paralysis? And wasn’t he a vegetable?"
"He’s woken up..."
"What?"
Christine covered her mouth in surprise and exclaid, "You said Chester woke up?"
"It happened two weeks ago."
Christine was still in disbelief, "Oh my God, he really woke up?"
"Yes..."
"And what about Alice?"
"It’s not clear yet, just that he’s happy Alice gave him a daughter."
"Wow... what a sense of happiness."
Skyler tightly hugged Christine, "I will make you happy too."
Christine snuggled up to Skyler and softly said, "I believe you."
Skyler pulled Christine down and kissed her cheek.
With a sweet feeling in her heart, Christine asked again, "So can he really help you treat the paralysis?"
Skyler nodded, "Of course, he’s a recipient of an international dical award, so he has remarkable expertise in various dical fields."
"Wow, then let’s find a ti to go to T City to see him."
"Mhm."
Afternoon.
Christine waited in the café for a long ti, and finally, Jennifer Douglas arrived.
Jennifer only showed her feminine side in front of Skyler. In front of others, she usually carried the deanor of an impressive and elegant heiress.
Jennifer crossed her legs and elegantly sat in front of Christine, removing her sunglasses to reveal a subtly made-up, fresh face, "I wonder what Mrs. Jones has in mind inviting out today?"
"I used the excuse of shopping to co out today, so I don’t have much ti to chit-chat. I’ll get straight to the point... why did you co to see Skyler today?"
"Even Skyler didn’t notice, but you did."
"Tell , what you originally intended to say to Skyler."
Jennifer raised an eyebrow, "Since it’s sothing I wanted to say to Skyler, naturally I would only say it to him, so asking is pointless."
Christine spoke calmly, "Miss Douglas, I know your deanor in front of isn’t your true nature. In reality, you’re a soft-hearted and kind girl. I can tell that you swallowed back the words you intended to say to Skyler upon seeing here today, so please tell what you intended to say to him."
"Why are you so curious?"
"Because I feel with your personality, if Skyler had broken up with you in New York, you wouldn’t be chasing after him like this... and this ti you’ve co to Y City with your father specifically to find Skyler, it suggests there’s sothing important you needed to tell him, sothing that might nd your relationship with him."
"Mrs. Jones, you’re really smart, you guessed correctly... yes, I did co to Y City specifically for Skyler."
"For what?"
"You guessed it right, I just want to be with Skyler!"
"I don’t want to beat around the bush, Miss Douglas, please be straightforward."
No one expected Jennifer to blurt out next, "Because I’m pregnant, duh, I want to use my pregnancy to win Skyler back."
At that mont, Christine’s face changed.
She looked incredulously at Jennifer, her face going pale.
Seeing Christine’s stiff and pale expression, Jennifer suddenly laughed, "Just now I said you’re smart, and now I think you’re so easily deceived... Do I look pregnant with this slender figure?"
"Then stop making up such lies."
"I just wanted to tease you, who would have thought you’d get so scared..."
The feeling of being tricked made Christine very displeased, she said directly, "Miss Douglas, if you’re not willing to have a serious conversation with , then just forget it, let’s pretend I didn’t invite you out today."
