"Christina, be quiet and don't talk about it again..."
Ever since that night when Patrick warned her coldly, she had been trying to be restless.
She seemed to be deliberately against him and provoke him all the time.
At noon in midsummer, the sun was shining brightly outside.
The servants in the living room of the Hopkins Family's Main Residence were busy preparing a rich lunch for their guests.
Early this morning, Charles, Chandler, and a few new men arrived in Hopkins Family.
These people went into Patrick's spacious study and had a secret meeting.
Christina had no idea what was going on and didn't want to know now.
"Young Madam..."
It was time for lunch.
Nanny Faang was surprised to see Christina striding over to have lunch.
Ever since their young master taught Christina a lesson that night, she refused to eat with Patrick at the same table.
Anyway, with him around, she would definitely turn around and leave.
Patrick and the others sat upright on the dining chair.
They had not eaten yet.
Chandler greeted her with a gentle smile on his face.
"It's been a long time since I saw you.It is our pleasure to dine with you…”
Christina smiled, "I already ate."
"But I'm a little full, so I need to exercise after dinner.'’
She turned her head and glared fiercely at Patrick in the middle of the dining table.
The last words were emphasized, which made others confused.
Charles and the others did not understand what she meant by exercise after dinner and were curious to ask the male owner of the house.
However, before they could say anything, the whole hall rang with the crisp and melodious sound of the piano.
She skillfully played Chopin's nocturne on the piano with her slender fingers.
Christina played this song so well that she could recite it without music.
The faster she played it, the harder she pressed the keys, as if she was venting some emotions.
Though the music was melodious, the servants in the hall of Hopkins Family became anxious.
Chandler and Charles looked at each other warily.
The others in the dining room were a little scared and secretly looked at Patrick in the middle seat.
Suddenly, they felt restless.
And she was still playing the piano smoothly.
How dare she play this song in the Hopkins Family...
"Enough!"
The man in the dining room seemed to have run out of patience.
He stood up in a huff and bumped into the tableware on the dining table.
Charles and the others became nervous.
"Christina, have you had enough of this?"
It was not until the last note of this nocturne that she stopped contentedly.
Though the Hopkins Family's dining room was a little far from where the piano was placed in the middle of the hall, others could still clearly hear the sound of the piano, which made some people annoyed.
Yes, she knew that he had never liked anyone playing the piano at home, especially this piece of music.
The atmosphere at home was solemn and tense.
The butler anxiously ran over to Christina and whispered, "Young Master Patrick doesn't like this song because madam used to..."
Judy used to be an international pianist and liked Chopin's nocturne most.
And she became famous for her performance skills in playing this music.
"Really?"
Christina stood up from the piano stage with a nonchalant face.
