"Derek won't hurt me."
Charles asked in a rage, "Did Patrick hurt you?"
Christina was in a daze and remained silent.
There had been too many things happening recently. She was in a disturbed state of mind and wanted a break.
Christina got up from the sofa and walked past Charles. She didn't want to talk about it anymore.
Charles watched her leave and his face darkened. He shouted angrily.
"You also think that Patrick is a heartless person. You've been with him for nearly a year. Don't you know what kind of person he is? Others say that he is cruel and heartless, but you, Christina, you can never say that!"
Couldn't she say that?
[What kind of person was Patrick?]
[No one knew him. No one knew what Patrick was up to.]
Christina slowly walked out of the Eastern Garden and strolled along the corridor. The lotus pond and other vegetation failed to attract her attention. Along the way, she kept thinking about the rumours she had heard before.
She had heard a lot of rumours about Patrick.
However, she knew very little about him.
"He has deliberately hidden it. How could I know..." Muttering to herself, Christina looked at the huge backyard of the Hopkins family in a daze.
"Did something happen recently?"
Suddenly, Christina heard a voice behind her.
Christina originally thought it was Charles who ran after her. After she recognised the voice, she was a little confused.
"What's up?"
She didn't answer, but asked coolly.
It was Paul, the butler. He had worked in the Hopkins family for nearly 30 years, mainly serving Senior Mr. Hopkins‘ daily life. Paul was very modest, but he had a say in not only the Hopkins family but also the company.
Actually, the members in the Hopkins family were not as difficult to get along with as outsiders said. Christina just thought she couldn't get used to their lives, because she felt there were some barriers between her and the Hopkins family.
Paul noticed that she was not in a good mood. Since she was unwilling to say it, Paul didn't inquire and went straight to the point.
"The baby room has been furnished. Senior Mr. Hopkins and his wife are in the Northern Garden. They want you to see if there is anything else that needs to be changed."
Christina was a little surprised that Paul came for her for the baby room.
Earlier, the Hopkins family had already found workers to knock down the walls between every two individual rooms on the third floor of the Eastern Garden. And now the third floor was a baby room like a children's play centre.
However, Senior Mr. Hopkins felt that the two hundred square meters was not enough for his grandson. So he found a construction team to change a guest room in Northern Garden into a baby room, so that his grandson could often rest at there."
"Everyone is expecting your first baby."
Paul smiled kindly. "It's been a long time since Senior Mr. Hopkins was so happy. He personally supervised the construction of the baby room. And he talked to the designers about the environmental protection materials, colour matching, and the baby's safety for a long time. The baby room is perfect but Senior Mr. Hopkins seems unsatisfied. He said it could be better..."
"They are still discussing some details. Senior Mr. Hopkins worries too much and those designers are helpless. By the way, Senior Mrs. Hopkins and Miss Hopkins bought baby clothes and toys yesterday and they are decorating the room there. What about taking a look..."
Christina listened quietly. In fact, she could feel the enthusiasm of the whole Hopkins family for the birth of the heir even if she did not go there.
As far as Christina knew, Senior Mr. Hopkins didn't like Judy, but they chatted more now because of Christina's baby.
Suddenly, she thought of Patrick. Patrick's attitude towards their baby seemed to be much colder than others'.
He might not like children.
Christina didn't want to go to the Northern Garden. She was in a disturbed state of mind and wanted to stroll in the back garden.
"They can make the decision. I want to stay here."
