Chapter 776: Chapter 402: Extra Story: Sir Asked Me to Ask When You’ll Be Back (1)

"Yes, he called Marie, it should be in the past couple of days."

"Have you heard?" Rebecca Quentin suddenly asked.

"What?"

"Mr. Jones’s TSOL project encountered a huge problem earlier, but since Mr. Jones was in Y City celebrating Marie’s birthday, he couldn’t rush back to New York to meet with someone who could resolve the issue. This person got furious and decided not to help Mr. Jones... Initially, the project was going to be stalled, but later on, Charles Douglas, the president of Nonta Group, intervened and helped Mr. Jones connect with this person, so the project continued smoothly..."

"Charles Douglas? Jennifer Douglas’s father?"

"Yes..."

Sitting in the taxi on the way back, Christine Quinn leaned against her forehead, quietly watching outside the window.

Rebecca Quentin’s words echoed in her mind once again―

Now there are many media outlets saying that you and Mr. Jones’s relationship has broken down and that you’re in the process of divorce. They also say Mr. Jones is eager to divorce so he can marry Nonta Group’s heiress, Jennifer Douglas... Sis, aren’t you ready to have an open conversation with Mr. Jones? Have you ever thought that maybe you two aren’t waiting for the other to say "I’m sorry" after all these years; what you truly hope for is for the other to say "Be together."

As soon as Christine Quinn got home, a servant hurriedly ran over and happily announced, "Madam, Mr. Jones is back."

Christine Quinn was stunned, and out of nowhere, Marie ran over and hugged Christine Quinn, "Mommy..."

The force with which Marie crashed into Christine Quinn’s arms caused Christine Quinn to take a heavy step back, almost tumbling.

Startled, Marie quickly supported Christine Quinn, "Mommy..."

Christine Quinn struggled to hold her weakened body upright before speaking, "Mommy’s okay."

"But you..."

Christine Quinn pretended to scold, "Who told you to crash into mommy like that!"

"Oh, I will be careful next time."

"Good girl."

"By the way, Mommy, Daddy’s back!"

Christine Quinn nodded, "I know, the servant told me."

"Mommy, Daddy’s currently in the study on a call, are you going to talk to Daddy?"

Talk about what?

Between him and her, the only thing left to discuss is the divorce.

Christine Quinn took a deep breath, "Yes, Mommy will talk to your Daddy for a while."

"Mommy..." Marie looked at her mother with innocent and naive big eyes, seriously saying, "Marie has grown up. No matter what choices Mommy and Daddy make, Marie will respect you both."

"Marie, Mommy is very fortunate to have raised you to be this understanding."

Marie leaned her head against Christine Quinn’s chest, expressing her sadness mixed with longing, "It would be great if Daddy and Mommy didn’t separate."

Christine Quinn came to the second floor.

The study door was open, and Skyler Jones was standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, as Marie had said, on the phone.

Today he was wearing a well-tailored iron-gray suit, his back was so handsome and upright, as dignified as a deity.

Maybe sensing the gaze from behind, he ended the call and turned around.

Christine Quinn took the initiative to speak, "You’re back."

"Yes."

"Is the TSOL project progressing smoothly?"

"We’re currently handling some final touches; it will be completed in two months."

Christine Quinn nodded, "Congratulations, ’Oversky’ is rising to the next level."

Skyler Jones said, "You don’t look well."

How could she look well...

Her body was now so weak that even standing was challenging; if it weren’t for relying on medication, she would already be lying on a hospital bed.

"Heh... Didn’t sleep well last night."

Skyler Jones lightly nodded, didn’t say more, and started to walk away.

Christine Quinn called out to him just as he was about to step out of the study, "Could you spare a moment?"

Skyler Jones stopped his steps at the door.

Christine Quinn came up behind Skyler Jones and slowly said, "Thank you."

Skyler Jones turned his back to Christine Quinn, coldly asking, "Thank me for what?"

"Thank you for, even when you hated me, not allowing M to harm me."

Christine Quinn’s words made Skyler Jones’s back slightly tense, "You’re overthinking it, I don’t hate you, nor did I stop anyone from harming you."

"You do!!" Christine Quinn said firmly, "I went to T City to see Vivian Lindsey, and she confirmed it to me personally."

"You’re mistaken."

Seeing Skyler Jones start to move, Christine Quinn hurried to intercept him, blocking his path with her hand, "Oversky..."
