My billionaire husband spoils me too much novel Chapter 752

Chapter 752
“Patrick didn’t urge you back?”
Christina lied without Nushing. She said, “I’ve not contributed much to the Hopkins family anyway. I can spend more time with you and go back when I have to.”
Lucy’s eyes twitched.
She clearly remembered how angry Patrick was on the phone last night.
Although Christina did lie, the lie especially worked for them. Betty smiled and praised, “Patrick is filial.”
Allowing Christina to go back to accompany her parents showed his filial piety in Betty’s eyes.
Donald snorted. “What Patrick meant was that you won’t bother him when you come back. But you don’t know what he indicated but keep staying here. Why can’t you learn from other well-behaved ladies?”
Every time her father caught a chance, he would scold her.
Christina was used to it. So she had no feelings for his words and pretended to nod thoughtfully.
Mrs. Dickens didn’t say anything, but she was very happy. She smiled and said, “That’s great.”
Larry didn’t say a word. He didn’t have to use his brain to know Christina was lying. But he was delighted to see Betty so happy. He thought Even if the Hopkins really came to bring Christina back in person, they couldn’t do anything if she didn’t want to.
But for the Dickens family, there was something imperfect. “Why didn’t you bring the twins along?”
Their house was so quiet that they envied others for having children.
But even Christina, the mother of the twins, had no say on the twins.
“Dad, why don’t I buy you two puppies?” Christina planned to go out for a walk.
Donald grirnaced and suddenly became angry. “Can dogs be like children? If you’re really so free, just give birth to a few more children. Then we can have some say in front of the old man in the Hopkins family.”
Donald had been in the business circle for so long. How could he not know that her daughter had no say in bringing out the two kids? But he inexplicably got angry thinking that Christina had been wronged in the Hopkins family.
“What’s wrong with you? Why are you talking so loudly all of a sudden? Do you think I’m deaf?” Mrs. Dickens scolded,
Donald was always a fillal son. So after being scolded by his mother, he suppressed his emotions and shut his mouth
However, Donald always thought that his daughter was trapped to get married to Patrick. So every time he thought about it, he was very unhappy.
They had just finished lunch and were drinking tea and eating fruit in the living room.
An hour after lunch, Mrs. Dickens, Donald, and Betty were used to taking naps. Even Larry pretended that he wanted to take a nap. At this time, the house seemed like a small nursing home.
Christina and Lucy had survived the harsh days on the island. So they were in high spirits and planned to go out for a walk.
Betty specifically warned them before they left, “Don’t buy anything to eat. The food outside is not clean. Do you remember it?”
“Yes,” Christina said perfunctorily.
Lucy came out this time for taking a break. She pondered for a while, “Christina, your father treats you well.”
Although Lucy couldn’t tell exactly how Donald treated Christina well, his words and tone just accorded with the image of a father in her mind.
What is a father like? Lucy didn’t know it because she was fatherless since she was born, but now she guessed that a father was probably like Donald Dickens.
“Lucy, you look a little different.”
They took a bus. The pace of life in C City was a little slower. Compared to the wonderful and busy life in A City, life here was actually more peaceful and stable, and there was more time to chat and think.
“It’s natural to have some change after surviving the experiences on that island,” Lucy said calmly.
Lucy had been wondering where her home was.
For so many years, she had numerous business trips to complete all kinds of tasks. The happiest moment for her was when she saw that number in her account after finishing her work and then afforded her favorite car, She didn’t even have a fixed property, because she always felt that she was like rootless duckweed. After all, she could have the bill reimbursed after staying in the best hotel no matter where she went.
Lucy frowned and suddenly said, “Christina, I wanna buy a house.”
So she could have a home,
Christina didn’t understand Lucy’s struggles in mind and told her seriously, “Don’t bother. Which city do you want
to buy a house in? Go ask Charles. He has a lot of connections in the city. He can help you save a lot of time and buy a cheaper house. Where do you want to buy a house? C City?”
Lucy didn’t know either.
For the first time, Christina felt that Lucy was upset. “Hey, what are you thinking?”
Lucy suddenly became angry. “It’s all your fault, you’re the root of all evil.”
Christina was speechless.
Why did she suddenly get irritated?
Since she couldn’t beat Lucy, Christina didn’t say anything and kept quiet so as not to provoke her.
Lucy felt that she became so restless that she looked like she was going through menopause. she used to be so carefree, but she changed within less than a year since she met Christina.
Gary, Crabbie, and Alan also had no family, no fixed property, and they were also busy. They also went all out to complete their tasks. When they were free, they enjoyed themselves at the club. Even if they were killed in an accident, they would not have something to care about in this world. This was their life.
That was what Lucy used to think. That was how life should be.
“Christina, I was born in a war-torn country. It was said that my father was a Chinese businessman, and my mother was probably his mistress.”
It was the first time Lucy had mentioned her family to anyone.
Christina thought for a moment. No wonder Lucy looked like a mixed-blood.
“In a war-torn country, peace is a wish, and surviving is a luxury.”
Lucy’s clear and sharp eyes were fixed on the scenery outside the window. She said in a flat tone, “When I was young, I had already known what reality is like. And my face was always covered with dust and ashes. The first thing I thought about after opening my eyes every day was where I could find food.”
“The air raid sirens resounded throughout the land. The air attack planes flew past, and the missiles were dropped one by one, and then exploded… This sounds terrible, but we were used to it. We felt that the whole world was like this. Miles came and everyone hid. And those who unfortunately died from the bomb could do nothing about it
Lucy lowered her voice. “I’ve been there.”
She was 6 years old that year. That day, the enerny launched a sneak attack. When the sirens sounded, the missiles had started to be smashed down one by one. Many civilians didn’t have enough time to hide. The
shabby houses were immediately ruined into ruins.
Lucy had never seen her father. Only her mother had struggled to raise her and her brother. That day, when the air raid happened, her mother rushed out with her brother in her arms. But Lucy was short and ran slowly, and her legs were pressed down by the fallen wooden table. She was shouting, hoping that her mother would save her later.
But her mother didn’t
Her mother looked flustered and hugged her 3-year-old brother tightly in her arms. Her mother only looked back at her once. Perhaps her mother thought that she had no ability to rescue both children, so she chose her son.
Lucy still remembered that day at this moment.
She was weak and helpless, crying and screaming for help.
She didn’t know if her mother and brother survived in the end, or if they went back to look for her. That day, Lucy was accidentally saved by Patric. Ever since then, there was no weakness in her life.
When Senior Mr. Hopkins was young, he was a skilled arms dealer. He ran his business with his precious
grandson, Patrick. At that time, Patrick was 11 years old.
Although Patrick was still young at that time, he received a totally different education and contacted extraordinary people. He was taller than the average boy, and his eyes were deep.
“I just wanted to live. I knew I would die, but I didn’t want to give in to my fate. I was buried in the collapsed house, but I still screamed and struggled. I wanted to live.”
“The next day after the raid, Patric heard my voice. He asked someone to move the broken stones away and asked someone to treat me.”
Lucy said it calmly as if those things didn’t happen to her.
Christina was surprised. It was the first time she knew that Patrick once saved Lucy.
“I know Patric is the child of the rich, so I pestered him to take me away from that damn place.”
When Lucy mentioned this, she couldn’t help but feel that she was very smart and brave at that time.
To survive, she could shamelessly rely on a child of the rich.
Christina found it interesting and asked, “How did you pester him?”
Was Patrick very soft-hearted and sympathetic when he was young?
Lucy said faintly, “I hid in his suitcase”
Christina almost burst out laughing. Lucy was indeed extraordinary.
