Contract Marriage: Abusive Love with Mr.CEO-Chapter 777 - 402: Extra Story: Sir Asked Me to Ask When You’ll Be Back? 1_2
Skyler Jones looked at her coldly, "I didn’t allow you to call me that."
"Sorry, I don’t know how I should address you, but you can ignore that because I didn’t mean anything by it..."
"What do you want to say?"
Christine Quinn crinkled her nose, suppressing the sourness, and apologetically said, "I just want to say ’I’m sorry’ for the last time..."
Skyler Jones frowned with disgust, "Are you feeling very proud right now?"
He said he never cared about her, but from this alone, it was clear he had lied to her in the past. And her questioning now seemed more like a challenge to his dignity.
"That’s not what I meant..."
"Then what do you mean?" He stared at her aggressively.
"I..."
Before Christine Quinn could speak, Skyler Jones already spat out contemptuously, "You have to know, I’m no longer the Skyler Jones of the past."
Did she think she wanted to talk about getting back together?
Christine Quinn gulped down the sob in her throat and softly said, "I didn’t mean that... I just wanted to tell you, regardless of our relationship now, the time we were together was the happiest days of my life."
"I don’t have the leisure to listen to you talk about such irrelevant things."
Stepping past Christine Quinn, Skyler Jones moved forward on his own.
Christine Quinn shouted towards Skyler Jones’s back, "We had two children once, did you know?"
Christine Quinn’s words once again stopped Skyler Jones in his tracks, his body violently shuddered, he twisted his brows, turned around, his dark eyes intensely gazing at her.
Christine Quinn slowly spoke, "During the year we were together, I was pregnant twice. At that time, because of my poor health, the doctor had warned me not to get pregnant, but I still wanted to keep them. In the end, both pregnancies resulted in the children dying in the womb... I didn’t tell you then, first because I feared you would know about my illness, second because I didn’t want to let you down at that time."
The dark eyes of Skyler Jones burst with an intense, deep gaze, his stare fixed unwaveringly on Christine Quinn’s slightly pale, beautiful face, suddenly bewildered.
Long-buried memories played out in his mind—
The doctor said: "Mr. Jones... I have found the hospital records. Yes, Miss Quinn did come to the hospital for two abortion surgeries."
He asked: "Did she come alone?"
The doctor answered: "Yes, she came by herself."
He cursed: "Damn it, Christine Quinn, I want to tear you to shreds!!"
It was a day after she "betrayed" him when he accidentally found a medical record in the apartment they used to live in together.
Seeing the abortion records mentioned on the file, he went crazy and ran to that hospital, ultimately proving she had indeed secretly undergone two abortion surgeries at that hospital.
Who could know, when he was convincing himself to understand her "betrayal", he then suffered such a heavy blow, his heart, completely twisted...
This was also the reason he couldn’t truly let go all these years.
It turned out she didn’t just "betray" him; she didn’t care about their children at all...
After all the blame and hatred for so many days, suddenly knowing it was all a misunderstanding, he asked incredulously, "Did you just say the children were lost because you couldn’t keep them?"
Christine Quinn nodded, "You should remember I took two week-long leaves from you... It wasn’t because my MC arrived, but because the children couldn’t be kept, I had to go to the hospital for abortion surgeries..."
Skyler Jones’ body abruptly approached, he looked down at her, a flash of pain flitting across his eyes, seemingly suppressing the emotions in his heart, his voice mixed with the sound of teeth grinding, "Why didn’t you tell me before?"
"Because you never wanted to listen to me speak before."
A punch landed heavily beside Christine Quinn’s body.
Christine Quinn jumped in fright, her body tottering.
Skyler Jones glared at Christine Quinn for several seconds, finally, he slowly released his clenched fist, his expression darkened, turned coldly, and walked away.
After Skyler Jones left, Christine Quinn weakly collapsed onto the nearby sofa, clutching her chest, breathing laboriously.
Finally, her breathing slowly steadied, she let herself rest on the sofa for a moment.
She initially didn’t plan to tell him this, but when she learned from M that he once cared about her, the only thought she had was to tell him...
If it weren’t for loving him, she wouldn’t have risked her life to get pregnant.
She wanted him to know, when he loved her, she also cherished him as her life.
...
Skyler Jones walked all the way to the room, kicked open the door, walked to the innermost part to the liquor cabinet, and poured himself a glass of wine.
Sitting on the sofa, holding the amber-colored strong liquor, anger burned like flames in Skyler Jones’s eyes, abruptly, he downed the strong liquor in a single gulp.
The spicy and bitter taste of the liquor made his throat feel like it was being burned...
Suddenly, he smashed the glass hard on the ground, forcefully loosened the tie around his neck, and cursed irritably.
"Even now, Christine Quinn, do you think I would still care?"
At dinner, everything seemed to return to calm.
As if the conversation in the study had never happened, Christine Quinn and Skyler Jones’s faces showed no sign of any emotion.
"Daddy, I scored one hundred on this exam."
Perhaps sensing the distant and stiff atmosphere between her parents, Marie proactively broke the silence.
Skyler Jones gently said to his daughter, "That’s amazing, Marie, Daddy never got a hundred when he was little."
"Daddy is so silly, Mommy said she got a hundred every time she studied."
Christine Quinn awkwardly ate her meal.
She admitted she had good grades when she was studying, but saying he never got a hundred might just be him coaxing the child...
She had long heard from Mrs. Geoffrey that he already held high standards for himself since childhood, insisting on being first in every subject, never accepting second place, so his determination was evident from a young age.
