My billionaire husband spoils me too much novel Chapter 444

"Grandpa, May I go to Shepherd's house with the aunt?"

Although Senior Mr. Hopkins was a little dissatisfied with some of her behaviors, he generously agreed, "Then you may go with your aunt."

"Dad, I don't want her to go with me!" Ms. Hopkins immediately objected, "Why are you always partial to her?"

The old man glared at her, not allowing her to refute.

Actually the old man did not favor Christina. It was mainly because Brianna was too introverted. It was obvious that Brianna liked to get close to Christina.

"You may visit the Shepherd family to sound them out about it. Marriage can't be forced."

Ms. Hopkins replied with a smile, "I see. How can I force it? Brianna is beautiful and refined. It's hard to find such a quiet and obedient girl in this city. The Shepherd family will definitely be agreeable to the marriage."

The women got into a black extended version of Bugatti. Christina naturally sat in the back row with Brianna Hopkins, while Ms. Hopkins sat next to Judy.

"I don't understand dad‘s idea. He arranges a marriage for Brianna, and he said he liked the boy of the Shepherd family. But the key problem is that the Shepherd family doesn't lack money. How could they agree? Our efforts will be in vain."

Ms. Hopkins said with a smile, completely ignoring Brianna in the car.

Christina glance at her and thought that Ms. Hopkins made different speech in front of the Senior Mr. Hopkins and obviously she wanted to see a farce.

She turned to look at Brianna. Although she was on guard against Ms. Hopkins, Brianna seemed to have not heard such embarrassing words spoken in front of her.

Brianna sat upright with her eyes fixed on the front window of the car. Her delicate and clean face was expressionless.

Christina really didn't know what sort of girl Brianna was. Was she ignorant or naive?

They arrived at Shepherd's house at 12 noon.

Mrs. Shepherd greeted them outside the gate. Charles also changed into a new suit and greeted them with a handsome smile and a decent manner. Ms. Hopkins and Judy were quite satisfied with such a son-in-law.

"No wonder my father has a crush on Charles. He's really a nice and obedient boy…"

After they had lunch in the Shepherd's house, Ms. Hopkins approached Judy and whispered. Women in fifties would be very proud if they had a filial son. Charles was absolutely obedient to his mother and was especially amusing.

"... What do you think of Brianna?" Ms. Hopkins asked him directly.

After lunch, Mrs. Shepherd went to the kitchen to bring two plates of fruit. The Shepherd family didn't like the servants as they felt uncomfortable with a servant at home. So they cooked themselves, which made them more intimate.

Ms. Hopkins and Judy were sitting in the living room to eat fruit, Christina looked at Mrs. Shepherd and Charles. She envied him for his good family.

Mrs. Shepherd smiled and sat down to continue chatting with them. She praised, "Brianna is quiet and obedient and looks very smart..."

"Oh, you don't know that our family spent a lot of money on educating her."

Ms. Hopkins seemed to have ulterior motives and interrupted anxiously, "As she's autistic, she couldn't go to school. The cost of hiring a private teacher at home is enough to pay for the tuition fees of the entire class of students. She can only communicate with a few relatives around her now. She doesn't respond when others call her."

Ms. Hopkins did not forget to emphasize with a sigh, "I don't know if her autism would be hereditary..."

Not only Christina but also Mrs. Shepherd was stunned by Ms. Hopkins's self-deprecating words.

Who would bring a girl to propose marriage and belittle her?

Especially when it came to Brianna's autism if which would be hereditary, it would block a large number of blind dates. Who dared to marry a girl who would have a child born with a disease? Inheritance was a matter of great importance to future generations.

Brianna was sitting alone on the sofa in the living room. She lowered her head quietly. Christina could not see her face covered by her long hair.

To be honest, Christina sympathized with her. "Why could she have no emotions at all? If I was her, she would definitely have jumped out and fought with Ms. Hopkins." She thought.

"Ms. Hopkins, don't say it like that. I've always liked Brianna, but something happened to my elder brother recently, and I'm not in the mood..."

Charles said kindly at the right time. His handsome smile dissolved the embarrassment.

He approached Brianna and lowered his voice. "Those women are too materialistic now. They like to gossip. A good girl like Brianna must marry a good man to reassure them..." His smile was extremely warm.

Charles had always thought of her as his sister, but his mother suddenly told him to go on a date with Brianna, which scared him. Fortunately, he could handle all kinds of situations.

As he spoke, Charles did not forget to laugh at himself. "My mother scolded me for being an old cucumber. How could I hurt Brianna? ... Hahaha, Patrick would definitely punish me."

Charles's laughter was so cheerful that Mrs. Shepherd and the others all laughed. Mrs. Shepherd glared at his son, "Stop talking nonsense."

Christina thought that Brianna would still be quiet, but she seemed to be very sensitive to the name "Patrick". She looked up at Charles. Her eyes were bright and clean, and she seemed a little happy.
