Christina felt a little down for some reason.
When she woke up the next day, she completely forgot about playing Mahjong.
Her mind was ina whirl and she didn't get up until 10 o'clock.
"Where's Patrick?"
She woke up and found no sign of him.
As soon as she came out of the hotel suite, she bumped into Charles.
Charles hated her for what she had done to him last night and said coldly, "Go back to the Dickens Family yourself.He won't go with you:"
"Patrick has gone to the cemetery.Today is the anniversary of Cecilia's death..."
Patrick was going to accompany her back to the Dickens Family, but now he went to pay his respects to his dead ex- girlfriend.
He must love that woman very much.
The storm in the C City finally stopped, but she hesitated in the lobby of the hotel.
She didn't want to go back to the Dickens Family...
"Christina..."
All of a sudden, a familiar voice came from the hotel gate.
There was excitement in that old voice.
Christina's face flashed with disbelief and she quickly walked over, "Grandma."
Her voice suddenly choked up.
"Christina, it's really you.You're really back! Where have you been? You haven't come back to see us for so many years.Do you know how worried grandma is about you?"
Mrs.Dickens's eyes were glistening with tears, and her tone was concerned and helpless.
Christina's heart ached as she listened, and she hugged the old madam in front of her.
Christina didn't expect her grandmother to come to the hotel to pick her up personally.
She hadn't seen her grandmother for six years.
She felt guilty and torn.
"The old master of the Hopkins Family in the A City called us a few days ago."
Mrs.Dickens's face lit up and she took Christina's hand and sat in the car, "Grandma has watched you grow up since you were a child.If I don't come to pick you up personally today, you will sneak away.Since you're back, don't run around anymore.’
"By the way, where's the young master from the Hopkins Family?"
The old madam looked around excitedly.
Christina got in the car with the old madam.
There was a complicated expression on her face, "He has something important to do today."
"That's right.The children of the Hopkins Family must have a lot of important things to do,"
the old woman said with an excited smile, "Christina, I heard that you two have already got marriage licenses.It's great that you can marry into the Hopkins Family.Grandma is happy for you."
Hearing this, Christina froze for a moment.
She felt her grandmother had an ulterior motive for picking her up.
The car drove smoothly towards the Dickens Family.
Along the way, Mrs.Dickens excitedly asked her a lot about the Hopkins Family but did not ask her how she had been all these years.
Christina felt very bad.
As soon as they reached the gate of the Dickens Family, she heard an excited conversation coming from inside the house.
"I haven't seen you for many years.You've lost so much weight.Mom said that there would be a distinguished guest today.It's actually you.Why don't you tell me in advance?"
"Where is my brother-in-law? We bring a vintage red wine for him to taste, wanting to thank him for his previous funding."
"Your brother-in-law is upstairs.You don't have to do this.We're a family…”
The house was filled with laughter.
Christina froze at the door.
Her hands clenched into fists when she heard these.
At this moment, she just wanted to turn around and leave.
"It's been so many years, Christina.Don't hate your stepmother."
Mrs.Dickens seemed to have guessed that she wanted to escape, so she immediately took Christina's hand and dragged her in, "Carrie is here today.’
"You are back, Old Madam."
The servant greeted her.
Soon footsteps were heard in the house.
Carrie ran to the door with a fawning face, "Granny, I haven't seen you for ages."
However, when Carrie saw Christina beside the old madam, the smile froze on her face and she looked shocked.
At this moment, the man, who was more shocked than Carrie, ran toward her subconsciously.
It was her bastard ex, Cory.
Cory looked at her in disbelief, "Christina, why are you here? You followed me!"
Christina sneered at Cory's words.
"You know each other?" Mrs.Dickens was the first to ask.
"Yes!" Christina gritted her teeth and said.
Cory seemed to have just regained his senses.
Seeing that Mrs.Dickens was holding Christina's hands, he suddenly understood something.
There was a complicated and awkward expression on his face.
Mrs.Dickens noticed that Cory looked at Christina with a strange expression, while Carrie, on the other hand, was torn and resentful.
"Christina, you're finally willing to come back.I apologize for what happened before.It's my fault.I've been really guilty all these years.I can do anything you want me to do.Don't be angry with your father, okay?"
Connie spoke softly with a concerned expression on her face.
She looked like she was begging for forgiveness, but in fact, she was accusing Christina of not going back to the Dickens Family all these years.
Such an evil stepmother.
"How can our Christina remember those trivial things?"
Mrs.Dickens was in a good mood.
She smiled and said to Connie, "Tell Donald to come downstairs.He works all day long and doesn't care about his own daughter.Christina is so good now..."
Then Mrs.Dickens led Christina to the living room and offered her fruit and dessert enthusiastically.
Christina suppressed her agitated mood and chatted with the old madam.
Suddenly, a little girl ran over and sweetly called the old madam, "Great-grandma."
"Jasmine, good girl.This is Carrie's daughter:"
Mrs.Dickens introduced Jasmine with a smile.
