My billionaire husband spoils me too much novel Chapter 659

Chapter 659
Patrick and the others had been walking for 5 hours since morning. It was 2 o’clock in the afternoon now, the hottest time in the day.
They decided to take a rest where they were for an hour.
They sat under a few big trees beside a river. Unfortunately, the water in the river had been polluted, so they could only take a sip from the water in their own bottles when they were thirsty.
Patrick, who had tricked Christina to go on this journey with him, walked to her to give her a bottle of water. He only brought two bottles with him.
Christina was sitting alone behind a giant stone to stay away from the sunshine. She crossed her legs, tidying up the ugly vine bag she made by herself.
Her head was lowered down as she stuffed something in her mouth. It must have been something delicious since her face bulged while she kept chewing them.
Patrick sat down beside her. Only then did he see the thing Christina was eating. A thick leaf of succulents that looked like a cactus without thorns.
“Is it delicious?” He asked in a low voice.
Christina turned to him as she kept chewing the succulent in her mouth. “No,” She answered frankly.
Patrick handed her the bottle with a smile, “Drink some water.”
Christina took it over immediately. However, instead of drinking it, she put the bottle in her vine bag carefully.
Touched by the scene that she cherished this bottle so much, Patrick softened his voice and spoke to her in a way as if he was coaxing a baby, “I’ll find a stream for us…”
It was his duty to take care of her as her husband.
Christina rarely asked for anything from him. Patrick couldn’t help but feel moved when he saw her cherishing the bottle given by him so much.
*I’m afraid we won’t be able to find a stream for the next few days.”
Christina didn’t buy his words.
She continued to eat the succulent calmly, “This thing tastes gooey and bitter. A little disgusting but really quenches my thirst”

Then she advised him to stop being so Dicky and igin her to eat the plant
Patrick was amused.
He picked a leaf from her succulent and took a bite. It really tasted bad. Patrick frowned immediately.
Charles and Gary, who were sitting under another tree, glanced at Patrick and Christina from time to time, not daring to disturb them. Inspired by Christina, they were thinking to themself whether they should quench their thirst with plants as well.
They brought some jerky with them. Although the jerky could be stored for a long time, it was extremely difficult to chew them up since they were all tough and dry. They had to keep them in their mouths for minutes before they could actually eat them.
They made meat soup with jerky and tomatoes in the past. The sweet and sour soup tasted quite delicious and kept them warm at the same time. However, now that the water was so precious, they couldn’t afford to make soup anymore.
Charles and the others had no choice but to eat the jerky directly. It was difficult, but at least they wouldn’t be hungry anymore.
Christina refused to eat the jerky. “I’ll find myself something else to eat.” She stood up and started to pick up the dry branches around the trees. Soon, she got herself a large pile of them.
ard
She picked out a thick branch and dug a small hole with it. Then she put all the branches into the hole and made a fire on it. To keep the fire burning, she picked up more branches and added them to it.
“What are you doing?” Charles and the others asked curiously.
Christina didn’t even look up. “Making charcoal.” As she spoke, she squatted down to look for something in her
bag.
Charles and the other had a mixed feeling when they saw more than 20 bird eggs in her bag. They were so poor compared to her.
Obviously, Christina was going to roast those eggs with hot charcoal.
She was much smarter than all of these men here.
Gary and a few members of his team stood up indignantly. They took some improved bows and pistols and then headed to the dense forest nearby. Now that Christina was smart enough to come up with the idea of cooking herself some bird eggs, they should at least hunt some small prey.
The forest was different from the training ground, Hunting was difficult here, even for these marksmen.
With the help of bows and guns, they spent a lot of time trying to catch a rabbit and still failed in the end. The cunning rabbit just jumped into a hole and disappeared
All of them sighed in disappointment.
It wasn’t a big forest, so they didn’t find much prey here. Besides a few squirrels and rabbits that passed by from time to time, they didn’t see anything else that they could eat.
“Let’s see if there are larger forests in front.”
Gary was encouraging his team while Christina walked over leisurely. In the surprised gaze of these previously arrogant men, she walked around the hole which the rabbit had jumped into, squatted down, and then reached her arm into a small hole under a tree nearby.
Then she pulled out a bunch of rabbits.
Gary was dumbfounded.
Christina grabbed the two biggest rabbits with both her hands while the other rabbits fled away quickly.
Charles, the first who came back to his senses, shouted, “Catch them!” Reminded by him, those men finally started to chase after the rabbits and caught only two small ones in the end.
“Who said first that she was going to drag us down?” These men sighed in embarrassment.
One of them muttered, “If we ask her for an egg, will she give us?”
“Aren’t you a man with backbone?”
“My backbone can’t bring me any food!”
“Will she be willing to give me a rabbit leg?”
“No way for such an ugly like you.”
“Mrs. Hopkins isn’t so shallow!”
They seemed to be willing to do anything for food.
Christina saw the hidden side of Patrick’s elites this time. They were all smirking at her like a group of large dogs sticking out their tongues,
They were actually making themselves a joke.
Among them, Patrick was the most shameless one who steal her food directly
* tastes good.
He was eating a roasted egg.
Then he tasted a rabbit leg and commented, “Well, we should have brought some salt with us.”
Charles, Gary, and the others couldn’t be more jealous. However, no matter how eager they were for the food, they didn’t dare to act on their own.
Patrick took a few bites and then looked up. Looking into a dozen pairs of eager eyes, he said calmly, “Eat your own food.”
Gary and the others collapsed in disappointment.
Charles didn’t want to give up, so he walked over to Patrick, “There won’t be many opportunities left for you to project yourself if Christina adapts to the situation here so well.”
Patrick glanced at him and replied calmly, “Don’t be jealous of how capable my wife is.”
Charles widened his eyes speechlessly, not expecting Patrick to answer that way.
In the end, Christina gave each of them an egg generously. Gary and the others were so grateful to that and thought more highly of her ever since.
After the lunch break, this group of 17 continued on their way. When it was almost dusk, they pinched a camp for the night and made a fire.
It was not the first time they had slept in the wilderness. This night, they would still guard on shift.
Christina fell asleep next to a giant stone quickly probably because she was exhausted from walking this far today. She had a lot of dreams tonight.
In half-sleep, she heard a voice calling. “Don’t come in. Run!”
Christina shivered as she woke up and realized this was a dream. Patrick beside her wiped the cold sweat from her forehead gently.
“Nightmares?” Patrick cast down his eyes, staring at her.
Only then did Christina realize that she had been nestled in his arms. Her head was pressed against his chest closely, so she could hear his heart beating. Snuggling up to him, she felt like her whole body was held in his arms
Christina blushed, “When did I allow you… Don’t touch me They’re watching.”
She wondered if he had always been such a shameless man
