"I see."
She stood there with mixed feelings as the black Bugatti in front of her sped away.
Patrick and Barbara left, leaving her behind.
The Fire Club in the city center was filled with noise and excitement, and she felt lonely standing in this large, cold underground parking lot.
Patrick asked the bodyguard to send her back to the Hopkinses. On the way, Christina quietly looked at the streetlights outside the car window.
It seemed like something urgent had happened, but Christina told herself not to ask because it was none of her business. If she asked, Patrick would say that she was messing around, and then she would let her imagination go wild.
She had to admit that she was not emotionally intelligent enough to hide her depression. When she returned to the Hopkinses, the maid asked her to eat but she had no appetite.
After a warm bath, she climbed onto the big bed in her comfortable pajamas and told herself to get some rest.
But she was unable to fall asleep. She tossed and turned in bed. "Why can't I know..." She was not happy that she didn't know anything and she had a feeling of being excluded from the circle.
The phone on the bedside table suddenly vibrated.
Christina perked up and quickly got up.
When she picked up the phone and looked at the screen, she was a little disappointed. It was not him who was calling her.
Pig Is Rising: Christina, are you free now?
It was Crystal who sent her a WhatsApp message, "If you and Mark are busy, forget it. I won't disturb you."
She sounded a little hesitant. Crystal thought she shouldn't disturb a couple at night.
Invincible Tina: Patrick is out. I'm alone in the bedroom. What's the matter?
When Crystal saw Christina's message, she was a little excited and quickly asked her for some advice.
Pig Is Rising: Christina, tell me how to get along with children!
Invincible Tina: I don't know... By the way, what did you mean by bringing a five-year-old boy home? Crystal, child trafficking is illegal. No matter what happens to you, just let the police handle it.
Crystal read the message from Christina and hesitated. She turned to look at the boy behind her and sighed helplessly.
Pig Is Rising: This child's father is an important partner in our company's project, and that man helped me last time. He asked me to look after his son in person. I can't just drop my kid off at the police station right now. It's not a good idea.
Christina was a little curious about who the man was and why she hadn't heard about their story.
Before she had finished editing her message, Crystal was in a hurry to send her a voice message.
Pig Is Rising: Christina, hurry up and tell me how to get along with kids. He is difficult to get along with. I asked him to eat, but he said he wasn't hungry. I found some toys to coax him, but he looked at me like he was looking at an idiot. What the hell? He's driving me crazy.
Crystal lowered her voice and complained. Christina chuckled when she heard that Crystal was really helpless.
Invincible Tina: That little boy I met last time in Clifton District was a leftover child. He was shy. His mother abandoned him since he was a child and he grew up with his grandmother, so the little boy was very good except for being a crybaby.
Pig Is Rising: Why? They're all kids with psychological problems, but the one you met is obedient and the boy at my home is unruly.
Crystal was very depressed.
Pig Is Rising: When I got to the first floor of the Fire Club, my clothes were a little messy and I wanted to go to the ladies' room to tidy up. But I saw a handsome boy in the ladies' room. I thought he had gone to the wrong place and wanted to let him out gently, but I found the little boy staring at a cubicle in the bathroom with a sullen look.
When Christina heard this, she was immediately shocked and sent another message, "Could it be that his mother was having sex with another man inside?"
Crystal's expression was a little solemn and replied, "Yes, it was really disgusting."
