Patrick took her back to the Hopkins family.
Nanny Faang was very happy to see her back and quickly asked if everything was okay. During the past few days when Christina was back to Dickens' family, the atmosphere in Eastern Garden was cold and solemn. When she came back, everyone was immediately busy preparing dinner.
"Senior Mr. Hopkins took the two young masters to the Shepherd family, and the old master Shepherd asked them to stay over... Old Madam Hopkins went to Paris with her friends the day before yesterday and hasn't come back yet."
Nanny Faang said to her briefly.
She hurriedly ordered the servants at home. "Bring some ginseng and conch soup, and serve some pastries and fruits later... And tell the kitchen that if the bird's nest is foamy, it can be stewed now. Young madam wants to drink it tonight."
As she ordered, Nanny Faang turned around to Christina with a smile. She asked her to get back to the bedroom and change her clothes.
The Hopkins family had always taken good care of her. It would probably take all her luck to get married a Hopkins. Christina looked at Nanny Faang gratefully.
"Didn't you say you were hungry?" Patrick tilted his head and saw tears at the corner of her eyes, which made his face serious.
Just as Patrick was about to say something, Christina pushed him on the back with both hands and urged, "Don't go back to the study. Let's change and come down for soup first. You haven't had lunch yet."
Patrick let her push him upstairs and looked back at her. He frowned strangely.
It was just the two of them for dinner.
Patrick never spoke much during dinner. Christina picked up chopsticks and started eating. Although she thought that she should treat Patrick better, she really couldn't think of a good way. Instead, Patrick picked up many dishes for her as usual.
Christina immediately realized something and clumsily learned from him to put fish in his bowl. Patrick looked up at her in surprise, thinking that she was too abnormal tonight.
Christina was a little embarrassed and buried herself in eating.
The table for the two of them seemed very quiet, and Patrick looked at her from time to time.
Christina was not good at getting along with others. She had always been alone. She looked awkward when she wanted to care about others.
"Patrick, do you want me to walk with you after dinner?" Christina, who had just put down her chopsticks and racked her brains, suddenly looked up and asked him.
She was going to take a walk with him.
Patrick didn't even realize it and asked hesitantly, "Where?"
It seemed it was her who needed the accompany.
"Go to the lotus pond. It's quiet over there. It's comfortable in the wind." She knew that Patrick was going back to his study to work later, so he couldn't go far.
Patrick picked up a handkerchief and wiped his mouth, then smiled. "Don't you think it's gloomy over there?"
There were many plants in the Hopkins family, and the people living in were not many. Christina used to complain that Hopkins family was too big, especially at night when the lotus pond was gloomy. Nanny Faang had been trying to imply Christina should give birth to a few more children to liven up the family. However, Christina did not get it, and Patrick did not seem to want her to get pregnant.
To make the lotus pond less gloomy, Patrick wanted to fill it up directly, but the Senior Mr. Hopkins did not agree. In the end, the compromise method was to hire more than a dozen servants to take turns on duty.
"I'm different now."
Christina knew that he was laughing at her and muttered a retort.
Patrick found it funny to see her like this. "What's the difference?"
She knew to be nice to him now.
Christina held her neck and looked fierce. "I'm different." She didn't have the nerve to explain in detail.
It was the first time for the two of them to take a walk after dinner. Patrick thought it was really nice to take a walk side by side.
In the night, looking sideways, Patrick found that her side face seemed to be slightly red, like when she was young and shy back to school, her eyes turned and she looked a little restrained.
Patrick looked at her childish and restrained expression and felt happy but uneasy.
