Marie was very disappointed because Skyler Jones hadn't come back yet, which means that tomorrow, on Marie's birthday, Skyler Jones probably wouldn't make it...
Previously, Skyler Jones had told Marie that he's been very busy lately and might ultimately not be able to make it back...
Marie is a very understanding child; she didn't blame her father, but she was very disappointed, and her mood hadn't been as lively as usual these days.
Christine Quinn observed Marie's disappointment and felt a deep heartache for her daughter.
Even Christine herself thought Skyler would definitely come back, because he had always doted on Marie...
So, she felt that his excuse of being too busy with work to come back was just a lie to the child.
He would indeed be very busy overseeing the project in New York, but as the CEO of "Oversky," he had a team of people working hard for him. Taking a day off or even a week off probably wouldn't be a big problem.
Unless he didn't want to come back.
