Contract Marriage: Abusive Love with Mr.CEO-Chapter 763 - 395: Extra: Daughter’s Birthday 2_2

Skyler Jones didn’t show any sign of awkwardness. After finishing his water, he asked his daughter, "What do you want to play next?"

"Next, I want to take you guys to play a game!" Marilyn Quinn said mysteriously.

Christine Quinn and Skyler Jones, still somewhat confused, were already being pulled away by Marilyn to an unknown place.

After reaching the destination, Marilyn excitedly asked her parents, "Do you know what this machine does?"

Christine shook her head in confusion.

The machine was covered with the baby pictures of many pinkish and cute elves, making it hard to guess what kind of machine it was.

Skyler was also puzzled.

Marilyn, holding her parents’ hands, explained, "This is a machine that can take photo stickers and also synthesize photos."

"Oh, photo stickers," Christine nodded as she recalled hearing her daughter mention that it was popular among students.

Skyler said to Marie, "Then you go ahead and take the photo!"

Marilyn waggled her index finger, "No, it’s you two who will take it."

"Us?"

The next moment, Marilyn pushed Skyler and Christine into the photo sticker booth.

The staff, upon seeing them as a couple, did not make them take a group photo; instead, they took individual photos and handed them one picture from the printout section.

Christine, bewildered, accepted the photo from the staff, and in the next second, her eyes widened in surprise.

Looking at the photo, Skyler felt a bit incredulous.

Because on the photo, there was an exquisitely carved little kid...

The facial features of the little kid bore some resemblance to Skyler, but the big eyes and small mouth were similar to hers.

"Haha, Daddy and Mommy, this is a picture of the baby brother," Marilyn laughed.

Christine asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"

Marilyn replied, "This is a computer image synthesizer, it takes a picture of Daddy and a picture of Mommy, and the computer can generate what the child you two will have in the future might look like."

What? Christine was stunned, is there really such a machine in this world?

Skyler’s gaze lingered on the photo.

Marilyn caressed the picture of the cute little boy and said happily, "Daddy, Mommy, isn’t the baby brother adorable?"

"He is indeed very cute..." said Skyler.

Looking at the little boy in the picture sucking on his finger, Christine felt an inexplicable emotion.

After taking that picture, Marie played several more attractions, with the last one being the roller coaster.

Since the amusement park promoted family interaction, the thrill level of this roller coaster wasn’t high, and even kids as young as five or six could ride it.

Marie naturally wouldn’t miss the chance to invite her Daddy and Mommy to join in, so at this moment, she was pleading with Christine, "Mommy, please? Will you and Daddy accompany me on the ride?"

If it were in the past, Christine wouldn’t fear riding a roller coaster with a thrill level aimed only at kids, but now she was considering whether her body could withstand it.

She had already taken the medication prescribed by her doctor, which was supposed to calm the pain during heart pain attacks and make her nerves less easily stimulated, but if she played such exciting games, could she handle it?

"Mommy, what are you thinking about? Say yes, please, you’re not afraid, are you? Look, even the five-year-old little brother dares to play!" Marie shook Christine’s arm, pleadingly.

At this moment, Skyler spoke up, "It’s okay, I’m here."

Christine glanced at the not-so-tall roller coaster, finally biting her lip and nodding.

"Yay..."

Marie was overjoyed and immediately pulled her parents toward the queue.

Finally, the family of three sat on the roller coaster.

Once seated, Christine realized the roller coaster was taller than she imagined, and sitting on it, someone already afraid of heights like her felt no comfort at all.

Marie, on the other hand, was not scared at all, gripping the iron bar in front of her with a face full of anticipation.

Skyler, noticing Christine’s pale face, couldn’t help but ask, "What’s wrong, are you unwell?"

Christine took a deep breath and then held onto the iron bar, shaking her head, "I’m fine."

"Mommy, if you’re really scared, we don’t have to go on," said Marilyn, seated between her parents, considerately.

Christine smiled lightly at her daughter, "You’re not scared, how could Mommy be scared?"

"Hmm."

At this time, the roller coaster started moving slowly.

Christine held onto the iron bar tightly, firmly telling herself it would be okay.

Initially, Christine didn’t feel scared, but as the roller coaster reached its highest point, her fear of heights finally made her start trembling all over.

The roller coaster wasn’t fast at all; Skyler and Marie didn’t even feel anything, but because of Christine’s health issues and fear of heights, she was already shivering.

Yet, as the roller coaster reached the highest point, while everyone was cheering and enjoying the moment, Christine, out of fear, kept her eyes closed and didn’t dare open them. Suddenly, a muscular, iron-like arm encircled her trembling shoulder tightly.

The protective force felt familiar...

Christine slowly opened her eyes to look at Skyler embracing her.

He showed no particular expression, merely holding her and Marie securely within his arms.

Christine stared at him blankly, unable to think. By the time she regained her senses, the roller coaster had already slid down from its peak and was slowly stopping.

"Yay..."

After getting off the roller coaster, Marie cheerfully cheered.

She didn’t feel any discomfort, but the earlier dread made Christine remember his firm embrace once more.

He seemed unfazed by the incident, holding their daughter, patiently asking where else she wanted to play.

After a full day of playing, Marie finally felt a bit tired and decided to head home.

The sky gradually darkened, and the lights along the road had already lit up.

In the car, Marie leaned on Christine’s lap, already asleep. Because of the cheerful mood, a sweet smile hung on Marie’s lips even in her sleep.

Suddenly, Skyler spoke, "Have you thought it through?"

"What?" Christine was momentarily unresponsive.

"Leaving."

His words reminded her of the conversation they had last night.

In fact, she had called Jonathon Gibson early this morning.

Jonathon told her that he had indeed contacted Skyler and had even made up a story about dating her, but his true intention was to take her away from Y City to the UK, as there’s a renowned cardiac specialist there who might be able to cure her.
