My billionaire husband spoils me too much novel Chapter 482

Christina had actually thumped the table during the meal and challenged her seniors!

Nanny Faang waited for any instructions with a laden heart, but Patrick only said casually, "She's been in a bad mood recently."

Nanny Faang was bemused and at a loss, as she recalled the pregnancy test issue last time when Young Master Hopkins and Christina had a quarrel.

Uncertain about the whole situation, Nanny Faang felt that if Christina was in a bad mood, it should be due to her misunderstanding with Patrick. She hoped that the Hopkins family would be in harmony, so she forced herself to say, "Young Master Hopkins, the Old Master has actually been very tolerant of Junior Mrs. Hopkins, but the last time..."

It could be deducted that Senior Mr. Hopkins did have his own favoritism through the stark contrast in his treatment of Judy and that of Christina.

Patrick looked at her troubled expression. "What's the matter? Come to the point."

"It's about the pregnancy test last time..." Nanny Faang had been troubled by these thoughts for a long time, but eventually she decided to put it bluntly. "The Hopkins family is such a prominent family, but there are too few members here. You and Junior Mrs. Hopkins are still young, and the family will be merrier if you're to have a few more children..."

The last time Patrick found out that there was a positive pregnancy test kit in the room, he flew into a rage and dragged Christina to the hospital for a pregnancy test. At first, she didn't understand why, since Christina's pregnancy should actually be a happy event, but later, Nanny Faang had a guess in her heart.

Young Master Hopkins had probably had a secret ligation operation, which accounted for his fury when he found the pregnancy test kit.

At this topic, Patrick darkened his face and he said in a cold voice, "This matter should not be mentioned to anyone." He looked straight at Nanny Faang and warned her in a solemn voice.

Nanny Faang lowered her head and whispered in suggestion, "Young Master Hopkins, there is a pair of twins at home now, but you and Junior Mrs. Hopkins are both young and healthy. It's a great blessing to have another baby..."

"Get out."

Patrick maintained the last bit of respect for Nanny Faang, as he did not proceed but only asked her to go out.

Seeing his attitude, Nanny Faang knew that she could not persuade him, so she turned around and went out to close the door of the study.

She sighed at the door. "Could it be that Christina is not willing to give birth to a third child... She actually asked her husband to have a ligation operation, which is really..." In the traditional way of thinking, even if a couple didn't want to have a child, it was usually the woman to have the ligation, and it was too presumptuous of a woman to make her husband have a ligation.

If Senior Mr. Hopkins learned about this, it would certainly turn into a terribly big deal. The old man would be unlikely to compromise when it came to the family's lineage, as he definitely hoped for more grandchildren, which denoted more blessings for his descendants. Besides, the Hopkins family was well-off and prominent, and even if there would be illegitimate children in the future, they would still be cherished to enjoy the family's privilege as long as they were the flesh and blood of the Hopkins family.

Christina in the bedroom was completely oblivious of their conversation.

Her aunt was calling to remind her to go back to C City for her father Donald's birthday the day after tomorrow.

"It's late and I had intended to call you tomorrow, but I was worried that you would forget about it."

Betty looked at the clock striking eleven, but since they were a family, there was no need for ceremony. "Your father and your grandmother are looking forward to your return with the twins back every day. Don't forget."

Donald's birthday was not a big deal. The main reason was that the Dickens family was looking forward to meeting the baby twins, whom Senior Mr. Hopkins had been always overly protective of, so it was not easy for them to meet the kids.

"Can you contact Derek recently? If he's free, ask him to come back for dinner together..." Betty had long regarded Derek as a member of their family.

At the reference to Derek, Christina looked fraught and sighed, "He hasn't been doing well lately."

"What's wrong?"

Betty was a little astonished, but not excessively worried. Although Derek was autistic, he could always handle things neatly and therefore seldom needed others to worry about him.

"Eric... he's not feeling comfortable." Christina was at a loss of picking her words, so she just perfunctorily evaded the serious truth.
