CHAPTER 98: CHAPTER 59: SKYLER JONES WANTS HER TO GO TO Y CITY WITH ME! 1_2

Skyler Jones continued to smile elegantly, "It’s been such hard work, I deserve to reward myself, don’t you think?"

"True, then I’ll take the advantage, thank you for your generous hospitality, Mr. Jones."

At that moment, Skyler Jones raised the glass of red wine beside him, "Cheers!"

"Uh, Mr. Jones, I don’t drink, please understand... I’ll toast with water instead." She had never drunk alcohol before, though she often saw someone drink alone in the past.

"That’s really a pity, I wanted you to try the best red wine here..."

On the way to sending Rebecca Quentin home, the car was filled with laughter and chatter.

Skyler Jones was telling Rebecca Quentin about his entrepreneurial story, and she was listening with great interest.

"Back then, the rent was only about 300 a month, yet I couldn’t afford it... Becca, if it were you, what would you do now?"

Rebecca Quentin did not respond.

Skyler Jones was about to ask again, but he suddenly noticed Rebecca Quentin’s gaze was fixed outside the car window.

Skyler Jones glanced outside, seeing nothing, he asked, "What’s wrong?"

Rebecca Quentin seemed to snap back to reality, shaking her head lightly with a gentle smile, "Nothing."

Skyler Jones could sense that Rebecca Quentin’s mood had subtly dropped in an instant, even her returned smile had become forced.

Skyler Jones continued driving.

Rebecca Quentin suddenly said, "Uh, Mr. Jones, didn’t you want to treat me to some red wine earlier? If you don’t mind, let’s drink that bottle now!"

"...Alright."

"Thank you."

Skyler Jones turned the car around and headed back to the hotel.

Rebecca Quentin suddenly leaned weakly against the seat, her nose tingling slightly.

Yes, she had unintentionally caught a glimpse outside the window...

He was holding Christine Quinn as they walked out of the hospital, both with smiles on their faces, Christine Quinn leaning intimately against him.

She noticed it was a reputable gynecology hospital where she had gone for checkups when she was pregnant...

It seemed they were about to have their second child...

No wonder Christine Quinn, who had stayed in the U.S. all this time, flew back this time, eager to share this joyous news with him!

Recalling how her sleep was disturbed the previous night due to his actions during the day, she wished to give herself a hard slap!

The car drove into the hotel’s open-air parking lot, and Skyler Jones still gentlemanly opened the car door for Rebecca Quentin.

Rebecca Quentin got out of the car, took a deep breath, and entered the hotel with Skyler Jones.

Perhaps out of frustration, when the server finished opening the wine, Rebecca Quentin took the initiative to toast with Skyler Jones with a smile, "Mr. Jones, thank you for teaching me so much about the business world today. I’ll finish this one, feel free to join."

The next day.

Her long lashes were stimulated by the bright light and twitched slightly. Rebecca Quentin slowly opened her eyes from sleep.

Her head was pounding, and her body felt heavy and weak. Rebecca Quentin barely supported herself, glanced around, and only then realized she seemed to be in a hotel. Skyler Jones was sitting in the dark corner under the curtain, resting his head, apparently asleep.

The scene startled Rebecca Quentin. Instinctively, she lifted the blanket to take a look at herself.

Upon finding herself fully clothed, she breathed a sigh of relief but was surprised to find that her clothes were not what she wore yesterday.

Skyler Jones seemed to be a light sleeper, for he opened his eyes almost as soon as Rebecca Quentin moved. Seeing her sitting on the bed looking bewildered, he stood up and walked to her side, gently explaining, "You threw up all over yourself yesterday; I had the hotel’s female staff help change your clothes."

"Thank you... Was I too impolite yesterday?" She only knew she was desperately trying to numb herself last night and had completely ignored him, having no idea how much she drank.

Skyler Jones honestly replied, "No, you have a good drinking demeanor; once drunk, you fell asleep."

Few people are like her, drinking themselves silly the first time, yet luckily, she wasn’t bad with alcohol; after being drunk, she neither cried nor made a fuss...

However, when he placed the drunken Rebecca Quentin on the bed, he discovered her lashes were already damp, tears slowly trickling from the corners of her eyes as she slept.

He had to admit that watching her cry in her sleep deeply moved him. He knew it was a feeling of pity, but what truly captivated him was her beauty at that moment...

In her sleep, her innocent and exquisite features, somehow rendered poignantly moving by tears, elicited a desire to hold and cherish her. Yet, she also seemed like an ethereal angel, untouchable and distant, making one fearful of desecration and eager only to quietly appreciate this breath-taking beauty, leaving one’s heart turbulent and unsettled.

Rebecca Quentin awkwardly said, "I’m sorry, I must have caused you a lot of trouble..." She noticed Skyler Jones was only wearing a shirt, while his suit jacket was draped over a chair, showing faint stains.

It must have been her vomiting on him last night, yet he was so graciously silent about it.

Skyler Jones didn’t say much more; instead, he asked with concern, "How are you feeling now?"

Rebecca Quentin kept holding her head, painfully saying, "My head feels like it’s splitting open..."

Skyler Jones considerately responded, "I’ll ask the server to prepare you some hangover tea."

Rebecca Quentin hurriedly said, "No need... Mr. Jones, could I trouble you to take me home? I’ve been out all night; I’m afraid my family would worry."

"I forgot to tell you, your aunt, Aunt Clare, called you last night while you were asleep. I answered and told her you were resting at this hotel tonight."

"Ah?" Rebecca Quentin quickly looked up, "Aunt Clare didn’t say anything, did she?"

Skyler Jones smiled, "She asked me to take good care of you."

Oh dear, Aunt Clare must have misunderstood...

Skyler Jones amusedly watched Rebecca Quentin’s face lower in embarrassment, suddenly saying, "Get yourself ready; I’ll take a shower next door. After breakfast, I’ll drive you home."

Rebecca Quentin watched Skyler Jones’s back as he turned and asked, "Aren’t you working today?"

"I’m giving you a day off!"

"You’re not going to fire me just like that, are you?"
