"Thank you..."
Christina took what he handed over and did not look at him again.
She turned around and walked away side by side with the man beside her.
Cory stood rooted to the spot, looking at the two figures who were leaving away.
He looked gloomy, pursing his lips tightly, and was about to say something.
But his words wouldn't work.
He felt bitter.
"Patrick, how much do you know her better than I do..."
He muttered in anger.
"What's in the box?"
Patrick and Christina got into the car.
He frowned and looked out of the window with a complicated look.
Christina did not speak, and they were both quiet.
The car drove smoothly back to his house, but the driver felt the atmosphere in the car was serious.
Trembling, he looked up at the rearview mirror and saw that their young master looked gloomy, while the woman lowered her head with excitement, looking at the contents of her little wooden box without paying attention to the bad mood of the man beside her.
"What are these..."
Patrick turned his head and glanced that Christina was holding some objects in that small wooden box.
They did not look like valuables and were old and yellow.
However, Christina carefully examined the objects in her box with both hands.
She was careful and treasured them very much.
"Nothing."
She looked at him in a daze, and a strange look of guilt flashed across her face.
She immediately packed up her things.
The car continued to move steadily and rapidly.
They didn't have much to talk about, and suddenly the car quieted down again.
Patrick narrowed his eyes and stared at her for a while.
He thought she would ask about Cory's appearance and what the two men were talking about, but to his surprise, she didn't.
She frowned and was a little absent-minded.
