Chapter 26
“This year. Hopkins Family actually spend the first day of the New Year
here.”
It was already late at night. Christina was depressed all day and couldn’t sleep at night, so she ran to the back garden to enjoy the scenery.
Looking at the expensive flowers and exquisite cloisters in the garden of Hopkins Family. she felt that everything was illusory. She never thought that she could live in such a magnificent place.
“No wonder those women are looking at Patrick like they’re looking at a treasure.” After all, marrying into the Hopkins Family was really something
to brag about
A gust of night wind blew and Christina cringed and rubbed her
hands. It was cold.
“What are you doing standing here?” Suddenly, a deep voice sounded behind
her.
As soon as Christina heard this voice, she immediately became alert.
She turned around and watched
Patrick stride towards her. For a moment, she didn’t know what to say.
What did he come back for? Didn’t he
stay in the hospital with Miss Jones?
It was quiet all around. The moon was dim tonight, and only the orange
Patrick saw her cheeks reddened by the cold wind.
“What are you doing standing here in the middle of the night when you’re not sleeping” For some reason, his voice became a little anxious.
She wanted to retort, “Can’t I just walk around the garden?”, but she didn’t
dare.
“Go back to bed after 10 pm!” Patrick
seemed to be able to read her mind and ordered her coldly.
“Why?” She yelled out angrily.
Christina thought, “He is so gentle with Miss Jones, but as soon as he came back, he was mean to me.”
Patrick’s eyes became deeper and more complicated as he stepped forward, his voice somehow filled with anger: “Do you think it’s suitable for a pregnant woman to fool around?”
“I didn’t…” She was about to retort but she remembered that she had actually gone out earlier.
Patrick looked down at her palms turning red from the cold, and he looked more impatient. Without saying
anything, he reached out and dragged
her straight into the house.
Sure enough, her hands were cold, and
Patrick’s footsteps were even more
irritable.
Christina was disgruntled when he
“Hey, let go. I’ll walk mysclf…”
Patrick heard the noise behind her, and
became sullen. He took her into the
house and immediately let her go.
“Go back to the bedroom!” His voice sounded impatient.
Christina looked at his cold face and
felt even more displeased.
“I’m not sleeping!”
She puffed up her face and replied,
“You!” Patrick was so angry that his
face turned green. How dared she talked back
“Christina, what did you beg me for last
time? You said you would reflect on how to be a mother. You’re pregnant and you go out into the night air. Do you have any common sense?”
Christina pursed her lips and did not dare to refute anymore. She lowered her head and looked a little ashamed.
Patrick saw that she suddenly became silent, drooping her head as if she was really reflecting on herself. He was angry and couldn’t do anything with her.
“Go back to your bedroom and rest.” This time, his tone softened as much as
possible.
“I’m not sleeping.” she said it again.
Patrick narrowed his eyes and stared
at the woman opposite him.
He already knew this woman was a pain in the ass and would make many more demands…
“Christina, what exactly do you want to do.” Patrick remembered that other people had advised him not to make things difficult for Christina. Looking at her now, the more he thought about it, the angrier he became.
“I’m hungry.” Christina was a little embarrassed by his stare. She looked down at her toes and said unhappily.
“Grandpa said I can’t eat too much because I’m pregnant. But I can eat an elephant.”
Patrick’s face froze for a moment, and he was stunned at her words. It’s rare
for a lady to say things like “I can eat an elephant” in front of a man.
Christina lowered her head and did not
dare to look at him. She looked a little embarrassed, and she was too hungry to sleep.
“No, don’t call the chef” She peeked up and saw Patrick’s stance of preparing
to call for the maids, and immediately
stopped him. “I don’t want to wake someone up in the middle of the night.”
She looked guilty. “I don’t like that so called tasteless nutritious meal.” Who wanted to eat that? It was worse than
porridge!
This woman was really picky about
Patrick‘s face darkened with anger and his eyes were fixed on her for a long. long time.
Actually, Christina didn’t know what was going on cither. Anyway… Finally, the two of them sneaked into the
kitchen.
Originally, she had thought of sneaking into the kitchen to find something she could eat and casually fill her stomach while everyone was asleep, but Patrick actually cooked noodles for her! Christina was a little flattered.
“Can you cook?” Patrick glanced at her and motioned for her to stay out of the
way
Christina wouldn’t. She was basically a kitchen waste. She was basically a
kitchen scrapper who had trained hard for years and still had no talent. She could cook the noodles to a mush.
Christina stayed in the corner and watched as Patrick took out some dragon beard noodles and cut some scallion and beef slices. He also marinated the beef with some
ingredients.
Christina noticed that he was a little angry and quickly added, “Actually. I
Patrick let go of her when he saw how uncomfortable she was. He chuckled, which included a sense of indulgence.
