Contract Marriage: Abusive Love with Mr.CEO-Chapter 775 - 401: Extra: They Once Had Two Children (2)

Chapter 775: Chapter 401: Extra: They Once Had Two Children (2)

Vivian Lindsey sneered, "It seems you and Skyler Jones still haven’t made any progress... At least there’s someone as unfortunate as I am!"

Christine Quinn said coldly, "Answer me!!"

Vivian continued to smile, "Miss Quinn, your temper doesn’t seem very good. You’ve come all this way to ask me, yet you speak to me in this tone?"

Despite her dislike for Vivian, Christine had to force herself to calm down and said gently, "Please tell me."

Vivian nodded, "I can tell you, but I have a demand."

Christine furrowed her brows.

Vivian quickly dispelled Christine’s worries, "Rest assured, my only demand is that you answer a question for me in return."

After hesitating, Christine nodded, "Okay... Tell me quickly, did Skyler Jones threaten you back then?"

Vivian finally replied, "That’s right, if Skyler Jones hadn’t threatened me back then, your fate would have been like your mother’s."

"Did he really forbid you from harming me?" Christine seemed unable to believe this answer.

"It seems Skyler Jones protected you, yet you never knew."

At this moment, Christine’s eyes were already frozen in shock.

So... it was true, he deceived her, he lied to her... He did love her, he really loved her.

"Christine Quinn, now it’s your turn to answer my question!"

Christine slowly regained her composure and looked at Vivian, "Go ahead..."

"Becca, Chester... how are they?"

"Did I hear wrong? A heartless woman capable of harming her own daughter and adopted son is now caring about them?"

Vivian’s face turned pale suddenly, but she didn’t show weakness. Instead, she forced a smile and said, "You can consider it as my concern for them, but I’d rather say, if you tell me bad news, I’ll be even ’happier.’"

Christine scoffed, "I’m afraid you’ll really be unhappy... Becca is doing great now, she and Howard are so in love, and they’re expecting their second child soon. Their life is blissful... As for Chester, though he’s not awake yet, the doctors say there’s a good chance he will wake up, and no one’s giving up on him. Also, you probably don’t know yet, but Alice has given birth to twin girls for him, just waiting for him to wake up to call him ’Daddy’..."

"Re... really?"

"Surprising, huh, M? Are you experiencing this today? While you endure misfortune, everyone else is living happily... The feeling of rotting away in prison, must be terrible, right?"

Vivian was silent, her gaze slightly dazed, lost in her thoughts.

Christine got up and left the visiting room filled with disgust for Vivian.

When Christine emerged from the prison, Jonathon Gibson had already driven the car up beside her.

As soon as Christine got into the car, she seemed deep in thought.

Jonathon asked curiously, "Who is that person? Why did you go to see her?"

"Who she is isn’t important, what’s important is that today, I finally got an answer."

"What answer?"

"An answer that makes me feel like I could die now without regret."

"Does it relate to Skyler Jones?" Jonathon asked sensitively.

Christine nodded.

Jonathon gritted his teeth in frustration, "Of course, even now, he’s the one on your mind."

"I do keep him in mind..."

"I don’t know what to say to you... Such a heartless man, I don’t know why you still can’t forget about him?" Jonathon was so angry his face turned pale.

Christine chuckled lightly, "You’ve misunderstood, I’m only holding onto who he used to be." Now, she’d already given up on him. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Jonathon sighed heavily, "Your life, fully ruined because of him."

In the blink of an eye, two months passed.

When Christine left the hospital, it was already dark...

She stood by the roadside hailing a taxi. After a long time with no success due to rush hour, she finally sat down on a nearby bench when she couldn’t stand any longer, deciding to wait until the crowd thinned out before trying again.

She rubbed her aching chest, then looked at the streetlights illuminating the road.

The circles of warm yellow light decorated the city’s night, warming up the late-autumn’s cold city instantly.

Her heart didn’t hurt as much, and out of boredom, she took out her phone, intending to chat with her sister.

"Hey..."

A faint smile spread across her slightly pale face, "Becca."

"Sis..."

"How’s the baby moving these days?"

"So mischievous, always punching and kicking in my belly, making it hard for me to sleep well at night..."

"Do you know if it’s a boy or a girl yet?"

"Not yet, Howard said he’d go with me to the hospital tomorrow to check, we’ll find out the gender then... I’m really looking forward to it, but also nervous, I’m afraid it’ll be another little troublemaker..."

"Even if it’s a little troublemaker, it’s not a problem, after all, neither Mom nor Howard would mind having more..."

"I don’t want that, I’m pregnant to have another sweet little girl..."

Christine laughed, "Don’t worry, I have a feeling this one’s going to be a girl."

"I hope so too... You know, Howard is more nervous about the baby’s gender than I am!"

"Mm."

Christine continued to listen patiently to Becca’s sweet stories about her and Howard, feeling grateful every minute and second that Becca could finally have such happiness.

"Sis..."

"Mm?"

"Why aren’t you saying anything?"

"I’m listening to you!"

"Sorry, am I being annoying?"

"Silly, I love hearing you talk about you and Howard."

"I feel like in our recent calls, you seem preoccupied with something."

"That’s just your imagination..."

"By the way, sis, I heard Mr. Jones is coming back to the country these days." Ever since Christine and Marie moved out of the Jones’ Mansion, Skyler Jones hadn’t stayed there either, so Becca had to rely on Howard for news about Skyler Jones.
