Chapter 707: Chapter 367: Extra Story: He Followed Her to New York (2)

Christine Quinn remained silent, patiently waiting for him to finish his call so they could continue their previous conversation.

However, a few seconds later, Skyler Jones ended the call but looked at her, casually stating, "Sorry, you might have to change your idea of not seeing me in New York... In a week, I’ll be going to New York with you."

"What?"

Christine Quinn’s eyes widened in surprise.

Skyler Jones had already put aside his napkin and stood up, leaving the restaurant on his own.

A week later, in New York.

"Grandma..."

Marie got out of the car and ran to Mrs. Geoffrey, happily hugging her.

Mrs. Geoffrey affectionately embraced Marie, chuckling as she said, "Good girl, your summer vacation has finally started..."

"I told you I would come and keep you company during the summer vacation."

Mrs. Geoffrey nodded with satisfaction, "Good girl."

"Grandma, Daddy’s here too..."

Mrs. Geoffrey was momentarily stunned upon hearing this, the disbelief in her aged brown eyes was overtaken by joy, "Re... really?"

At this moment, Skyler Jones, arm in arm with Christine Quinn, came up to Mrs. Geoffrey.

Mrs. Geoffrey was overjoyed, her eyes brimming with tears, "Sky... Skyler." After all, this was Skyler Jones’s first time stepping foot in the Jones’ Mansion.

Skyler Jones looked up and swept his gaze over the spacious Jones’ Mansion.

Compared to Howard Geoffrey’s fortunes, this ordinary mansion didn’t match Howard Geoffrey’s typically picky nature. However, this place was indeed peaceful and quiet, suitable for the elderly to recuperate.

Overall, the mansion that Howard Geoffrey rebuilt for the Geoffrey family was still quite nice.

"Skyler, mom is talking to you." In front of Marie, Christine Quinn always maintained her good wife and daughter-in-law demeanor.

Skyler Jones snapped back to reality, glancing at Mrs. Geoffrey, "I’ll be staying here for a while."

Mrs. Geoffrey eagerly nodded, "Okay, okay... I’ll have someone prepare a room right away."

"Mom, I’ve already had the servants prepare rooms for sister and Mr. Jones," the speaker was Rebecca Quentin, who had come with Howard Geoffrey.

Instantly, the four of them exchanged glances.

Except for the pure happiness in Rebecca Quentin’s eyes, the expressions of the other three were somewhat complex.

Howard Geoffrey was the first to break the silence, extending his hand, "Brother, welcome back."

Skyler Jones withdrew his gaze from Rebecca Quentin and nodded, sharing a brotherly embrace with Howard Geoffrey.

Seeing Marie had already run into the villa to find Andrew to play with, Christine Quinn had already distanced herself from Skyler Jones, at this moment contentedly observing Rebecca Quentin standing beside Howard Geoffrey, exuding happiness and sweetness.

"Brother-in-law, long time no see."

Rebecca Quentin greeted Skyler Jones.

"Brother-in-law"?

Suddenly being addressed with this unfamiliar title, Skyler Jones raised an eyebrow.

Christine Quinn also pulled Rebecca Quentin over, gently chiding, "Are you teasing me too?"

Rebecca Quentin feigned innocence, "How could I... But in front of Marie, I have to play along with you guys, right? I’ve thought it through, given the complicated dynamics of our family, I plan to simplify things. I call you sister, so naturally, Mr. Jones is my ’brother-in-law’. Of course, Howard Geoffrey calls Mr. Jones brother, so Howard Geoffrey will call you ’sister-in-law’ in the future."

Christine Quinn suddenly felt her scalp tingle, quickly dragging Rebecca Quentin towards the garden of the Jones’ Mansion.

Under the shade of the trees, Christine Quinn asked frustratedly, "Tell me the truth, why did Skyler Jones come to New York?"

"I don’t know..."

Seeing the seriousness on Rebecca Quentin’s face, yet the mischievous undertone in her eyes, Christine Quinn immediately used a "stern" look to threaten her sister, "Spill."

Rebecca Quentin finally gave in, laughing softly, "Alright, alright, I’ll tell... Howard told Mr. Jones about a new project ’Skytop’ in New York that he’s interested in, and asked if ’Oversky’ is also interested. If ’Oversky’ is, then after ’Skytop’ wins the project, it will let ’Oversky’ have it... Then Mr. Jones said he wants to come to New York."

Christine Quinn frowned, "Knowing that Skyler Jones has always been competing with Howard Geoffrey, isn’t Howard Geoffrey blatantly provoking Skyler Jones?"

"Exactly, Mr. Jones didn’t come to New York to wait for Howard Geoffrey to win the project; he’s here to compete with Howard Geoffrey for this project..."

Christine Quinn suddenly realized, "Howard Geoffrey wants to use the rivalry between the two brothers to draw Skyler Jones to New York." 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Rebecca Quentin nodded, linking arms with Christine Quinn, "You see, my husband has taken action... You and Mr. Jones should cherish your days in New York!"

"No wonder you kept calling me to hurry to New York, so this was your plan."

Rebecca Quentin chuckled, "I was just worried about you and Mr. Jones!"

Christine Quinn gave her sister a sideways glance, "Can you stop involving me with him? Having to act in front of Marie every day is already troublesome enough."

"Sister..." Rebecca Quentin said earnestly, "Howard Geoffrey told me the reason why you and Mr. Jones ended up like this is because of misunderstandings between you two, and I’m here to help you clear those misunderstandings."

"Rebecca, there’s never been anything between Skyler Jones and me, so there’s no misunderstanding... It’s better if you don’t meddle."

"Alright, I won’t meddle, but since you’re already in New York, you should at least stay with me for a while, right?"

Christine Quinn resolutely stated, "I’ll leave as long as Skyler Jones is here."

Rebecca Quentin playfully cuddled against Christine Quinn’s shoulder, "Sister, even if you want to leave, can’t you wait until you accompany me through my health check-up?"

"You haven’t gone to the hospital yet?"

"No, I haven’t told Howard Geoffrey yet... You know, the results of the check-up aren’t certain, and I don’t want to disappoint him. But if it’s as you said, it could give him a huge surprise."

Christine Quinn was indeed persuaded, "Alright then, I’ll go with you!"

Rebecca Quentin was secretly delighted, nodding vigorously, "Thank you, sister."

In the study, Howard Geoffrey poured a glass of red wine for himself and Skyler Jones, saying, "I’m very glad you came to New York."

Skyler Jones squinted his eyes, "What are you up to?"

Howard Geoffrey handed one of the glasses of red wine to Skyler Jones and proactively clinked glasses with him.

After both sipped their wine, only then did Howard Geoffrey speak, "You know I purposely lured you here, so why did you come?"

"On one hand, this new project ’Oversky’ in New York is a must-have; I originally needed to come to New York. On the other hand... I’m quite curious, how could you bear to have Rebecca stay under the same roof as me every day?"

Howard Geoffrey glanced at Skyler Jones, "Brother, are you certain about your feelings for Rebecca?"

Skyler Jones’s eyes narrowed to a slit, a cunning light shining through the gap, "What are you trying to say?"
