Christina had thought that she would be happy when she was going to get married and bring the man she liked home to meet her parents one day.
But her good wish failed! Three years ago, when she married Cory, she just got a certificate and didn't have a wedding.
Christina reflected for a long time, thinking that a woman must have a decent wedding when she got married.
If she didn't spend a grand deal of money, the man would not cherish her.
But this time...
She would rather have a bare marriage.
Inside the car, Christina looked nervously at the man beside her.
Patrick leaned back against the seat, his face grim.
He was holding a contract document under review, and he was talking to someone via earphones.
He was calm and didn't seem to care about this at all.
The car drove smoothly all the way to the International Airport in A City.
"Go to C City," he unfolded the contract and ordered.
Christina was bored looking at the scenery outside the car window.
She eavesdropped on his call, feeling unwilling to go back to C City with him.
But there was no other way.
Mr.Hopkins ordered Patrick to do so.
Patrick must be unwilling too.
"There's nothing important at C City,’’ Patrick said leisurely.
His words paused for some reason, and he turned his head to glance at the woman beside him.
He said calmly, "To propose marriage."
Christina was in a trance.
She suddenly regained her senses and looked at him with a stiff expression.
‘Propose marriage? These words sounded really strange out of his mouth”
"What are you looking at?"
Patrick turned off the Bluetooth and asked Christina indifferently when he saw her eyes wide open in shock.
"No, nothing.’’ She looked embarrassed and immediately lowered her head, stopped looking at him.
They arrived at the airport.
It would take about two hours to fly from A City to C City.
The servants had arranged everything for them, and everything was smooth.
Just as they arrived at the C City airport, there was a sudden rainstorm.
The sky was overcast and thunderous.
Instead of going to the Dickens Family, they went to the hotel they had booked.
The manager of the hotel came out to receive them in person.
He accompanied them to the luxurious suite on the top floor.
By then, Christina realized the hotel belonged to the Hopkins Family.
‘’This man is indeed rich”
The Hopkins Family was powerful.
As the only grandson of the Hopkins Family, Patrick had an incredible life.
However, Patrick was a little different from the prodigal rich kids she knew.
Patrick seemed to be very busy.
When he got in the suit, his three bodyguards handed him a large stack of documents.
With a stern face, he sat at the table to review and sign his name.
"Well, if you have things to do, I can go back to the Dickens Family by myself" Christina hesitated for a moment but finally spoke.
After she broke with the Dickens Family, she had no contact with them anymore.
Christina was a little uncomfortable going back there alone, not to mention going back with him, which flustered her even more.
However, the man in this spacious and luxurious suite seemed not to hear her at all and did not respond.
He probably didn't agree, so he just ignored her, but he didn't even bother to say it out.
Christina walked to the window, but it was dark outside.
This was the top floor of the hotel.
She looked down and saw the dense crowd and the cars below shuttled busily.
People were struggling and suffering in the heavy rain for life.
Marrying a rich man was the most convenient way for a woman to change her destiny.
Because of this, many women were unscrupulous to be mistresses...
She thought of the Dickens Family and her stepmother.
Her stepmother was only three years older than her.
Her stepmother climbed into her father's bed at the age of 20 and indirectly killed her mother.
‘Mistresses and Cheaters don't deserve to be forgiven”
The thick French windows reflected the hatred in her eyes.
She had sworn that she would never return to the Dickens Family again...
Just as her mind was in a mess, someone pushed open the door fiercely.
Christina subconsciously turned to look.
"Cecilia?"
A handsome man with silver-rimmed glasses appeared at the door, his eyes filled with disbelief.
Another bantering voice came.
"Chandler, you are wrong.This is Patrick's girlfriend."
Not long after, another tall man with short brown hair came in.
Christina looked at the two strange men with hesitation.
She knew that the brown-haired man was called Charles.
This guy was famous and often appeared on the front page of magazines.
Everyone knew that he had various model girlfriends and luxury cars.
He was the boss of an entertainment company.
But she didn't know the other man who was wearing glasses.
But at least they were Patrick's friends.
She nodded and greeted them, "Hello.’’
Charles seemed very curious about Christina.
