My billionaire husband spoils me too much novel Chapter 268

“It is said that if people live on upper floors that are too far from the ground, they will gradually feel lonely and become anxious.”

Christina lived on the fourth floor, which was not a typical higher storey.

At that moment, she stood on the small balcony, looking at the sun rising in the east.

However, she did not feel the vitality of the morning sunlight.

Instead, she felt exhausted, as if she could not pull herself together after a tiring hight.

Her head was heavy, and she didn’t know if it was because she had slept too much.

Yesterday, she met Judy and the others who urged her to sign the divorce agreement.She performed calmly, but in fact, she felt rather uncomfortable.

When Christina took out a bottle of anti-depressants and was about to open it, she stopped.

“Who put up this?”

There was a small white sticker on the bottle which said, “take medicine after dinner”.

 

She remembered that the last time she took this medicine was in Crystal’s apartment, and there was no such sticker on it at that time.Christina did not think much about it.

These four words did work well as a psychological hint.

 

She put the bottle down, took a long woolen coat from the bedroom and put it on.

After tidying up her makeup, she went out to have breakfast.

When she had just locked the door, she found a white drone on the left side of her door.

It was the size of a small square stool and had been unsealed and thrown there with the remote control.

Most residents in this area were families with children, so it should have been a kid who left the drone here.

“This kind of drone seems quite expensive”

Christina just glanced at it but didn’t care about it too much.She went into the elevator and went straight to the first floor.

Outside the residential area, there was a Cantonese restaurant across the road.

The food there was not bad, and the price was reasonable.

The residents nearby were used to coming over early in the morning for breakfast.

Christina also liked these exquisite and tasty Cantonese snacks.

During her time in the Hopkins family, she developed the habit of getting up early.

It was only 6 o’clock in the morning.

Most of the people in the restaurant were elderly, chatting and having breakfast.

Christina sat alone at a table in the corner.

Then she ordered a few shrimp dumplings, barbecue buns, and a pot of hot sweet chrysanthemum tea, eating slowly.

She thought if she could forget those vexations and live a carefree retirement life just like this, that would be really enjoyable.

“I heard that the 402 of Building F has been renovated and rented out.”

At the table on her right, five or six old residents were chatting.

Usually, Christina would not pay attention to them.

However, they seemed to be talking about her, as she just lived in that apartment.

“I happened to see her in the elevator a few days ago.She was an adorable woman but didn’t look well.She looked rather thin as if she had a serious illness before.”

That person lowered his voice, and his tone sounded a bit mysterious.

“Don’t mystify that deliberately.You just said she was seriously ill before, but not after she lived here”

“You can’t say like that.It must still have an impact.”

“That’s right.See how strange it is.402 was rented out the afternoon before that day, and the one upstairs, 502, was also vacant for more than half a year.However, someone just rented it after that day.This kind of thing would rather be believed to be true than false.In any case, a person died.”

They were still chatting.

Christina felt a chill on her back, and her chopsticks fell on the table with shrimp dumplings.

“As for that thing, didn’t the manager of the property ask us not to mention, lest it would affect the price of our apartments? And we all would suffer.”

“Even if you don’t mention it, others would still know.Now, with the Internet, people can search for the name of this residential estate effortlessly.Besides, the usual rent for an apartment with one bedroom and one living room here is more than $4500 per month.However, the rent for 402 is only $2500.Anyone would know that there must be something tricky”

Christina looked at the pork bun in her hand and felt that she had no appetite anymore.

“Originally, 502 could only be rented out at a discount.Unexpectedly, the tenant was very generous.At that time, the landlord just casually offered a price.However, that person didn’t even bargain and signed the contract immediately”

“That landlord was also unlucky.The apartments in this area are so popular, but his 502 remained vacant for more than half a year.Besides, the owner of 402 even said that he would ask for compensation from him”

Christina listened to these people with a high degree of concentration, and her scalp tingled. alf a year ago, a couple lived in 502.

One day, the couple quarreled and fought.The woman wanted to escape, but the man locked the door.

Then she went to the balcony and got down through the water pipe to the balcony of 402, trying to ask for help.

At that time, the woman had already been stabbed several times in her chest.
