Contract Marriage: Abusive Love with Mr.CEO-Chapter 744 - 386: Extra Story: Would He Be Reluctant?

She wasn’t naïve; from his passionate eyes, she could understand his emotions.

His gaze upon her was exactly the same as before.

"I’m sorry, I’m full, I should be going." Christine Quinn stood up, grabbing her small handbag.

He seized her hand, "Don’t go!"

Seeing her nervousness, he released her hand, his voice tinged with a plea, "I just want to talk to you."

"No...next time!"

She turned to leave, but Jonathon Gibson seemed to see through her thoughts, "No, if you leave now, there won’t be a next time."

At the moment, he had already grasped her slender shoulders.

Christine was so anxious that sweat seeped from her forehead, she tried hard to break free from him, but he held on tightly.

"Christine...listen to me..."

"No, I don’t want to hear it...I’m already married, I have a husband and a daughter, I..." She desperately shook her head in refusal.

"But he doesn’t care about you." Jonathon dropped a bombshell that left her dazed, unable to recover for a moment,

"You don’t understand..."

"You have a choice." He murmured, his fingers gripping her shoulders like iron, "All these years, haven’t you felt that we are truly a perfect match?"

"Just friends."

"Lies!" he growled, in those urgent eyes, he forced her not to escape. "If it weren’t for Skyler Jones, we would already be married and have children, and in fact, being with Skyler Jones was just a mistake you made in your youth, you can still rectify it."

Christine’s face turned pale, her lips quivering lightly, "My life is already predetermined..."

"Christine, I can see he doesn’t care about you at all...if he truly cared, he wouldn’t leave you alone on the roadside at night, he doesn’t deserve you." Jonathon’s voice was urgent and furious, his excitement translated through his fingertips. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Christine trembled slightly, yet her heart gradually calmed. "Jonathon, don’t waste your time on me, I..."

When Jonathon’s lips descended, Christine was stunned.

Her body stiffened, unable to move, the words she wanted to say swallowed back, the warmth on her lips, her eyes widened.

Thankfully, Jonathon only briefly touched her.

When he withdrew from her lips, his dark eyes shone with light, tenderly stroking her long hair.

Christine was flustered, "I...I have to leave."

Jonathon sighed long, "Alright, I’ll see you out."

He shouldn’t rush, he mustn’t rush, he had patience, as long as they maintain such a marital relationship, he had a chance.

The two left the restaurant, each harboring their thoughts.

When Jonathon touched Christine, Skyler Jones clenched his fists tightly.

Until they departed, his tight fists did not loosen.

He was merely here to discuss the TSOL project with a government lady officer, yet coincidentally bumped into them.

Damn Christine Quinn, she dared to be so intimate with Jonathon behind his back!!

Skyler gritted his teeth, exerting all his willpower to suppress the nearly manic cells within his body, blood rushing to his head.

When a man sees his wife so close to another man, what’s a "normal" reaction supposed to be?

For the first time, anger, jealousy, displeasure, and disbelief, like a river converging streams, overwhelmed him, drowning out his always proud rational mind, leaving him submerged in turmoil, almost drowning.

Their intimate walk, her gentle smile, joyfully laughing, and even that kiss, were all seen by Skyler Jones.

Being men, when Jonathon first saw Christine, Skyler had already understood Jonathon’s intentions.

The government lady officer, with a face of smile and apology, hurriedly came before Skyler.

"Mr. Jones, I’m sorry, I’m late, truly sorry..."

Skyler looked at the government lady officer, recalling the purpose of being here today.

He gathered his emotions, deliberately ignoring the strong discomfort in his heart, facing her with his usual demeanor and expression.

Christine returned home in a daze, her heart filled with unease.

She always considered Jonathon to be a friend, but until today she realized, Jonathon didn’t think the same.

She didn’t deny, after years apart from Jonathon, she felt a special emotion towards him, but this emotion wasn’t related to love, rather a feeling similar to kinship.
