My billionaire husband spoils me too much novel Chapter 452

When Christina returned to the Eastern Garden, Nanny Faang warmly pushed her to the kitchen to have some tonics. She said that Christina had stayed up too much recently and that it would be good for her health.

"How does it taste? Do you like it?" Nanny Faang had been doing a great job tending to Christina's necessities.

Christina was very grateful. Nanny Faang was considerate and treated her like her own child. She knew that like everyone else in the Hopkins family, Nanny Faang was doing this for the sake of Patrick.

"Patrick hasn't eaten much during the past few days. He's not in a good mood." Nanny Faang gingerly mentioned this while Christina was having the tonics.

Christina knew Nanny Faang was asking for her help, judging from her tone. She put down the bowl and spoon and asked, "Did Patrick lose his temper at the servants?"

The servants in the Hopkins family were especially afraid of him. Maids in some rich families might seduce their masters, but this would never happen here because they were afraid of Patrick. Sometimes, some new maids would beg Christina to ask Patrick to let them go after making mistakes.

"He rarely lashes out at them," Nanny Faang said softly. "He flew into a rage when those servants didn't take good care of you and let you run away."

The servants of the Hopkins family were afraid of Patrick not mainly because he was hot-tempered, but because he was very cold. He was born with a noble aura of indifference that scared the servants to the guts.

Christina muttered to herself, "I thought he scolded someone."

Nanny Faang was amused and chuckled. "Patrick rarely shows his emotions in front of outsiders."

Her words sent Christina into thinking. She also knew no one could make Patrick angry. It was probably only after they two got married that he often got angry.

"Today, I brought a few maids into the study to do cleaning and found a lot of cigarette butts." Nanny Faang looked at Christina and said sincerely, "He seems to be in a bad mood in the past few days. If you have time, talk to him and ask him not to bottle things up."

"I will."

With mixed feelings, Christina nodded.

She knew that Patrick had been upset about the Derek situation. She had seen him smoking silently, depressed.

After finishing her tonics, she got up and walked upstairs to the study.

Christina was a little depressed now. She felt guilty for not caring about him as much as Nanny Faang did.

Thinking that he was angry, she walked into the study, only to find him watching someone on his computer alone. He seemed to be in a good mood.

Patrick was sitting at his big desk, watching attentively at the screen. It was as if he saw something. Surprise flashed through his usually cold eyes, and then he put on a faint smile.

"What are you watching?"

Only then did Patrick notice that she had been in. She was the only one who was allowed to enter his study.

Before Patrick could answer, Christina heard the familiar voice coming from the screen. She immediately approached him and shouted angrily, "No! Don't look at it!" She immediately blocked the screen.

"... This is humiliating!" Five-year-old Christina was on the screen. At that time, she had been forced to learn the piano by her family. She had been too lively, so it was torture for her to sit in front of the piano and practice repeatedly.

Her piano teacher had been strict, so she had always played the piano while crying. In her childish voice, she sobbed, "I don't want to learn this. I don't want to learn..."

Dressed in a beautiful dress with her hair braided, the pretty, lovely girl was sitting in front of the elegant grand piano, crying bitterly while playing the piano with her chubby little hands.

This scene was very interesting.

Patrick's face lit up.

Seeing him smile, Christina moved away and let him watch the video although she was still embarrassed. She muttered, "Why are you watching this?"

Patrick looked at her and did not answer.

"Where are the videos taken when you were a child..." Christina felt that there must be a lot of videos of him while he grew up.

"They are boring," he said flatly.

His life seemed to be boring.

Christina noticed that the anxious and unconfident look in his eyes. He had indeed been busy in the past few days. He looked haggard now.
