Without further hesitation, Christine Quinn directly dialed the number she had long memorized, even after deleting it from her phone.
The phone rang a few times before it was answered.
Christine Quinn struggled to maintain a gentle tone, "Hello."
"What's the matter?" His voice always carried a cool detachment.
"You promised Marie you would be here for her birthday. Why did you suddenly say you're too busy to come back?" She would rather he stayed away because he disliked her, but if he ignored Marilyn for Jennifer Douglas, she wouldn't allow it!!
"Why?"
Christine Quinn snapped angrily, "Are you really that busy? I doubt it!"
"Oh? Do you have a better explanation?"
"Don't think I don't know that Jennifer Douglas's birthday is around these days. You're staying in New York for her, right?"
Skyler Jones's gentle laugh came from Christine Quinn's phone, "Is that why you're so clear about Jennifer Douglas?"
