The servants of the Eastern Garden of the Hopkins family had been happy and relaxed recently.
Patrick and Christina had made peace. Patrick became very easy-going and didn't punish the servants who made mistakes. All servants felt lucky.
Today was Sunday, so Christina slept in. Wrapped in a silk quilt, she stretched and then patted the handsome face next to her with the back of her hand.
She tilted her head and looked at him doubtfully. "You are not awake?"
Patrick had no habit of sleeping in unless he didn't want to get up.
Men were particularly easy to be aroused in the morning. Patrick was a normal man. He threw himself at her and they started doing it.
After that, Christina pushed him away, tired, her face red. "Patrick, get rid of your bad habits..."
"I think that's a good habit." Lying on top of her, he said in a low voice tinged with desire.
He had gotten up before her every morning. Now after being intimate with her and holding her soft body, Patrick felt that he had been too restrained before, and he should have done so long ago.
"From now on, this will be our routine every weekend." Patrick made a decision.
He was too overbearing, asking this decision without discussing it with her. Christina pinched him angrily. Patrick didn't feel pain at all. He laughed and said, "We have a whole day. We can do it again after breakfast..."
"I am not doing it! You're so heavy..." Christina blushed.
There was little time for them to be intimate with each other because Patrick had always been busy, but he was willing to change now, to find some time to be with her. Christina was very happy and moved.
Patrick was going abroad for a few days. Christina packed up his things while telling him which two ties were bought by her. Then she walked forward, stood on tiptoe, and straightened up his collar.
Patrick suddenly felt that he had a good wife and smiled.
He wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her on the lips for five minutes in front of Nanny Faang, the driver, and his entourage behind them.
"Wait for me at home." Patrick reminded her as he had done every time he would be on a business trip.
Christina blushed and didn't give him a clear answer.
Recently, her life had been full of joy and harmony. Even Lucy had sent her a message saying that she had found nothing unusual after looking through the documents about Brianna that the orphanage had been keeping.
"You can start with the people around Brianna. The maids in the Hopkins family who have been taking care of her all these years might know her best." Lucy gave her some advice.
"I've sent someone over, but I haven't heard anything yet." Christina had sent Nancy over. So far, she hadn't found anything.
No news was good news.
She didn't want the Hopkins family to be thrown into chaos. If nothing was wrong with Brianna, she would be happy.
"I thought you have lost your mind on your husband." Lucy teased.
Lucy was surprised that Christina was not so stupid as she had thought and that she had even secretly sent her confidants over to investigate from the people around Brianna, but there was one thing that Lucy agreed with Patrick and Charles.
"I don't think Brianna is deliberately hurting you. She doesn't seem to be pretending."
Lucy had seen a lot of people and was good at reading people now. Brianna was just a weak girl who had been spoiled and overprotected. She was simple and introverted.
"I hope so." This was Christina's last message.
She was now the chairman of the charity organization. She had a document, which was the plan for funding orphanages all over the country.
The one where Brianna had stayed when she was a child was on the list. There was a note, saying that there had been a big fire, which had broken out late at night and killed many employees.
A lot of files had been burned.
Later, the orphanage had been rebuilt with donations from all walks of life. The orphans got to live in new houses. Because of the fire, it had received much attention from society, and many people had come to this orphanage to adopt orphans.
"No one investigated the cause of the fire."
The fire had happened years ago. At that time, people had feared being blamed for being negligent. They had shirked their responsibilities and hadn't looked into the cause carefully, but just said it was an accident.
For some reason, Christina felt scared when she was looking at the old photos, whose color had faded, of the abandoned orphanage after the fire.
The fire had taken more than a dozen lives, but no one was sure if it was really an accident.
If someone had done it on purpose, it would be horrifying.
Christina closed the document and went to read other projects. A pile of documents was waiting for her, the nominal chairman, to sign.
The days passed peacefully with gentle breezes and sunny weather. Everything seemed peaceful.
The next morning, Nanny Faang received an express mail from the guard of the Hopkins family. It was sent to Christina.
Looking at the flashy commercial on the box that said someone could have a prize draw for free and a free gift, Nanny Faang frowned and weighed the small cardboard box. It was not heavy. The things inside were shaking around. She didn't know what it was.
Nancy came to the Eastern Garden to chat with her old friends before work. When she saw Nanny Faang frowning, she immediately came over curiously.
She was younger than Nanny Faang, so she had heard about this prize draw. She exclaimed, "Mrs. Hopkins is so lucky. She won the prize for this event! I have taken part in this with Marian for more than half a month and thought it was tricking people. But it turns out I was wrong. The parcel is the proof!"
"Stop yelling and mind your manners!" Nanny looked serious and patted Nanny on the head.
"I don't know if this is a prank or not. Mrs. Hopkins has been living here for so long, but I rarely saw her buy anything online. This is just a lucky draw prize. I thought only you will be interested in this since you have little work to do."
Dejected, Nancy retorted in a low voice, "Mrs. Hopkins has much less to do than us."
Christina didn't have to take care of her parents-in-law or take care of her son. Patrick often went on business trips.
Nanny Faang glared at her. "You forgot all the rules I taught you before!"
Nancy shut up and lowered her head.
She had been with Christina a lot and became more of a free spirit.
"Why did you suddenly apply for a transfer?" Nanny looked strict but was actually kind to them. Nancy came from a poor family and dropped out of high school to work. She had signed a long-term contract with the Hopkins family and been trained by Nanny Faang. They were somewhat close. "You like working in the Eastern Garden very much. What's going on?"
Nancy was flustered and lowered her head even lower.
Seeing that she was unwilling to say anything, Nanny Faang thought she wanted to work for Brianna to get close to her crush, so she didn't ask any more questions.
