"During the days after giving birth, Derek helped me apply ointment every day..."
Christina said it as it should be. She stared at her flat and tight abdomen. There were no marks of pregnancy or the cut left by a c-section. It was as if she had never been pregnant.
It was just like a dream that she married into the Hopkins family, and there was not even a trace of it.
"I don't know what kind of ointment Derek applied to me. It worked really well." She muttered as she looked at the twins sleeping soundly on the small bed.
Patrick was standing right behind her. He looked at her side face. The reason why she married him in the first place was so absurd that she felt like a dream and unreal.
When she suffered from a c-section, confinement, and postpartum depression, he wasn't there.
He had always played the role of a bad person who forced her, and Derek was her guardian angel.
Patrick pursed his thin lips and his expression was complicated. Christina had been staring at the twins on the small bed in the quiet nursery. Neither of them spoke and they did not know what to say.
When Nanny Faang entered the nursery, she saw they were in silence and she sighed in her heart. They did not dare to talk anything about Young Master Hopkins' private affairs.
Standing outside the door, she knocked on the door. "Young Master Hopkins, Junior Mrs. Hopkins."
Christina turned first.
Nanny Faang held a cell phone in her hand and said, "Junior Mrs. Hopkins, it's your father..."
Christina's cell phone was broken on the snowy mountain. Her father, Donald, probably knew that she had come back, so he called the Hopkins family directly when he couldn't get through.
Christina knew her father's bad temper and did not dare to delay. She took the phone and said guiltily, "Dad."
"What are you doing in the Hopkins family?" Unexpectedly, Donald was furious.
"I just came back..."
She was telling the truth. She just flew back from Switzerland less than an hour ago.
Donald ignored her explanation and shouted angrily, "What did I tell you before... I told you not to wander around. Go back home now!"
Then, her father angrily hung up the phone.
There's her father's angry roar echoing in Christina Dickens' ears. It seemed obvious that her father did not want her going back to the Hopkins family. He thought that was just wandering around.
Even Nanny Faang clearly heard the scolding on the other end of the phone. She was hesitant for seconds. She looked at Christina and then at Patrick, who had been silent with his eyes full of mixed feelings.
"Young Master Hopkins, dinner is ready. Do you want to have it now?" Nanny Faang asked hesitantly.
This was the Hopkins family. If Patrick refused to let her go, Christina would not be able to leave.
"Yes." He ordered calmly.
It meant right away.
"I'm going back now."
Christina said firmly. She turned around and strode towards the door.
"Dinner first."
"I'm not hungry."
He looked at her back, and his tone was more forceful. "Then don't think about going back to the Dickens family."
Christina stopped, turned around, and looked at him angrily.
Nanny Faang tried to smooth things over and said, "Junior Mrs. Hopkins, you must be tired coming back from Switzerland. If you don't hungry, it's better to have a bowl of soup to refresh yourself..."
Christina's face darkened and she went to the dining room unhappily.
She was very grateful to Nanny Faang for preparing dinner for her and she knew that Hopkins family was not as difficult to get along with as rumored, but Patrick Hopkins always ordered her in a commanding tone. She was very upset.
"What are you doing!"
She was already in a bad mood. As soon as she put down the bowl, she saw that Patrick Hopkins was telling Nanny Faang to take care of the twins. He was going to C City.
Christina said hesitantly, "Are you going to my home?"
Patrick's handsome face was expressionless. He looked at her calmly and deeply. The look in his eyes was asking, why couldn't he?
Christina turned her head and didn't want to look at him.
He would go if he wanted to. Anyway, her father would definitely not welcome him.
Probably when Patrick went to the Dickens family, her father would shut him out and embarrass him.
