After Patrick went home, he couldn't find Christina in the bedroom. He asked the servant and found out that Christina had gone to the nursery.
[In the nursery.]
The nanny and maids who took care of the baby looked at Christina in surprise.
Christina sat by the baby's bed with a fairy tale book in her hand. She was telling the baby a story.
"After defeating the evil witch, the prince and princess got married in the castle." She told the story of Snow White.
Then, Christina closed the fairy tale book and told the baby seriously, "Son, this fairy tale is actually a lie."
The baby didn't understand.
Christina reached out and pinched Small's chubby face. The baby smiled so contentedly that his eyes narrowed.
Big barely laughed or cried since he was born. However, Small looked at Christina with his bright eyes as if he was trying his best to remember his mommy. He was very focused and serious, and it looked very funny.
Every time Christina was in a bad mood, she liked to come to the nursery to play with the baby.
Senior Mr. Hopkins set a time limit for her to stop disturbing the child's rest. But when Christina was angry, she didn't care about these restrictions, and the servants didn't dare to stop her.
An old nanny stepped forward and said, "Madam, it's getting late. You'd better go back to bed early. The child is almost going to sleep..."
Christina turned around and her face darkened. "I haven't finished telling my son the story yet."
The old nanny was sent by Senior Mr. Hopkins, and she was not afraid. "Madam, you have finished telling that story. Please don't disturb the child's rest anymore. If the child doesn't get enough sleep, Senior Mr. Hopkins will blame..."
Christina said coldly, "You can complain to Senior Mr. Hopkins now."
No matter what, Christina was the granddaughter-in-law of the Hopkins family, and the nanny was just a servant. Although the old nanny was a little angry, she did not dare to say anything more and only warned Christina.
"If lack of sleep affects the child's health, I won't be responsible for it."
"It's none of your business!" Christina could not bear it any longer.
The old nanny was startled by her, and the rest of the maids did not dare to speak.
There were so many rules in the Hopkins family. In order for her babies to be as outstanding as Patrick when they grew up, Christina could bear it, but she couldn't tolerate a servant's provocation.
Christina ignored them, reached out, and rubbed the twins' curly hair in boredom. The babies were not afraid of her and let her rub them. They waved their hands and giggled, and they fluttered their little bodies and tried to climb to her side.
"After the prince and princess got married, one day, they quarreled."
Christina continued to tell the story to her twin sons. As she spoke, she picked up them and kissed them on their chubby faces.
"The prince didn't allow the princess to eat and that the castle belonged to the prince. Everyone must listen to him," Christina said with an angry expression.
The twins fixed their big clear eyes on her as if they could understand her.
"Then, in a fit of anger, the princess ran away from home."
The maids standing by were surprised. Did the fairy tale develop like this?
Christina tucked the twins in and played with the baby for a while. She was in a much better mood and smiled. "Don't worry. I'll take you with me when I run away from home."
"Young Master Hopkins."
The nanny turned around and found Patrick outside the door.
When Christina heard this, she immediately got up without looking at Patrick. She walked past him and walked out of the nursery.
Patrick stood there and did not reach out to stop her. He turned his head and watched her walk past him.
The maids in the nursery also felt that it was a little strange. Did they quarrel?
It was very common for couples to quarrel after marriage. Christina figured out that marriage was indeed a very boring thing.
But it was too empty to live alone for the rest of one's life.
So when a man married a woman and gave birth to a child, they would spend the rest of their lives together. This was similar to doing business together. With a child, there would be common interests. Those fairy tales would always end in the marriage because the author did not want to write about the messy life after marriage.
Christina didn't even want to argue anymore now.
She was not as angry as before. She didn't throw pillows or lock the bedroom door to prevent Patrick from coming in. Now, even if they slept together, they were on the edges of the bed and had nothing to say.
Late at night, most lights in the bedroom were turned off, and the bedside lights were dim, illuminating Christina's sleeping face.
Christina had to turn on the bedside lights at night before she could fall asleep.
Patrick, on the contrary, slept soundly in a dark bedroom, but after marriage, he got used to it.
It was dark outside the window and it was quiet at night. Patrick was not sleepy and did not hug her as he usually did. He fixed his eyes on Christina's side face.
He didn't explain what happened this afternoon to her, and he didn't intend to explain it to her.
He was thinking about a question. Christina might be angry for a long time this time.
The next morning, Christina deliberately woke up very late. She was not willing to get up until Patrick left because she didn't want to see him or talk to him.
Christina went back to the company. She had no pressure in Shepherd's company and she just needed to memorize the manuscript. If she didn't have to go there, she would be really free.
In the afternoon, she made an appointment with Crystal and skipped work.
"Let's go to the hospital to see Derek. The last time I went to his apartment, Larry said he was hospitalized."
Since the last pregnancy test at the Hopkins family with a pregnancy test stick, Crystal had been out of spirits and was not in the mood to work. So she sneaked out with Christina.
"Well, I haven't told Chandler yet." Crystal was so dejected that she almost bumped into the tree next to her when she walked.
"Why?"
Christina was decisive and she did not understand Crystal's hesitation. "If you're really pregnant, Chandler has the right to know..."
