My billionaire husband spoils me too much novel Chapter 405

It was already 12 o'clock at midnight when Christina returned to the Dickens family.

"Why are you back so late?"

Betty heard the doorbell ringing and immediately went to open the door. However, she saw not only Christina but another uninvited guest, which surprised her.

"Auntie," Christina called out to her.

Betty came back to her senses and noticed that Christina looked a little angry, while the handsome Patrick looked indifferent, standing there with two large bags of expensive gifts in his hands.

Christina's face turned sullen.

They could have easily come back by plane, but Patrick had to take the car at midnight. This bastard Patrick had leaned on her for a few hours, which made her shoulders so sore.

Ignoring the annoying man behind her, she strode straight into her house.

Patrick, who was standing outside the door, watched the cold woman in front stride in. He turned to look at Betty in front of him again. His voice was neither warm nor cold, "Hello."

Betty nodded at him cautiously.

Betty had Known early that Christina was going back to the Dickens family, so she was very happy to wait for her return in the living room. But she never thought that Patrick would come too.

"These are for you." Patrick handed over two large bags of gifts.

The Dickens family had no servant at home, and no one came forward to take what he was holding. Patrick was not used to it and had to mention it. Betty paused for a second and immediately reached out to take the gifts. Just as she was going to say something courteous to thank him, a shout came out of the room.

"I told you to go back to the Dickens family immediately and don't wander around, but you don't listen to me. Must you make your aunt and grandma worry about you all day? How old are you... At 7 o'clock I have asked you to come back. What are you dawdling about? Why do you stay out until midnight so that we have to wait..."

Donald had a bad temper and scolded Christina angrily.

Christina was silent being scolded by her father like this and did not dare to say a word.

Patrick frowned and strode into the room regardless of etiquette, "I asked her to come back to the Hopkins family with me first." His voice was naturally low and deep, which was intimidating.

What he meant was that he wanted her to go back to the Hopkins family with him first. So did anyone have an issue with that?

Donald was originally lecturing his unfilial daughter. When he heard this voice, he raised his head and glared, feeling even more unhappy.

He was lecturing his daughter, and did it have anything to do with this Patrick?

Donald's face darkened, and he deliberately ignored Patrick.

He glared at Christina angrily with a colder voice, "Who allows you to bring him back?"

Christina had originally lowered her head to receive the lecturing. Seeing that her father was furious, she immediately glanced at the man behind her and explained hurriedly, "Dad, it's none of my business. He insisted on coming himself."

Christina was so honest and wouldn't talk back after being scolded, and she was even in a hurry to get rid of him.

Patrick looked a little displeased and controlled his anger and frustration.

Donald suddenly felt at ease and was now in a much better mood.

Betty closed the door and hurried in, trying to smooth things over, "Christina, have you had dinner yet? We have supper snacks at home..."

"I'm not hungry. I had some soup in the Hopkins family," Christina replied truthfully.

"It's good that you've eaten. Your grandmother and I are still worried that you'll come back with an empty stomach," Betty looked at Donald with some resentment, "So is your father. He knows that you must be hungry and tired when you came back from Switzerland, and he still insisted telling you on the phone you return to the Dickens family immediately..."

Betty felt that Christina could come back tomorrow and didn't have to rush.

"You said you experienced an avalanche in Switzerland. What happened? Did you and Crystal suffer or get hurt?"Betty pulled her over and roamed over her seriously.

Hearing the avalanche, Donald turned to look at her, and his eyes became serious.

Christina looked calm and said, "We stayed in the hotel for a few days. There was an avalanche in the back of the mountain. We were not involved." She was obviously lying, but she said it so naturally.

Betty had watched her grow up and was not easily fooled. She then asked, "The news said that there are many tourists buried in the avalanche."

"Oh, those people ran outside and unfortunately were buried in an avalanche..."

Donald widened his eyes and snorted, "You didn't run out with them?!" His tone was full of disbelief.

Christina got nervous and did not blush at all. She promised, "No, Crystal and I have been staying in the hotel quietly waiting for help."

Patrick looked not so calm and turned to her sideways.

Probably feeling guilty, Christina quickly added, "Crystal and I are fine, but Patrick's back was injured by knives."
