It was another peaceful morning, Christina just finished breakfast and took a walk in the back garden of the Hopkinses.
Christina always felt strange recently.
She frowned and turned around vigilantly...
"Nothing..."
She muttered to herself.
There was nothing unusual behind her.
Everything was normal, but she always felt a pair of eyes glaring at her fiercely.
Perhaps she was thinking too much.
She remembered that the nutritionist said that pregnant women tend to think too much.
After irresponsibly attributing all the doubts to her twin son, she was a little more relaxed.
Her biggest wish now was to give birth to the children smoothly without any trouble.
Today was Saturday.
Patrick didn't go to the company.
He was busy in the study early in the morning.
Charles and the others came over.
It didn't feel like they were busy with work.
Christina lay lazily on the porch railing, looking up at Charles, Chandler, and...
Barbara, they whispered as they walked.
Christina didn't know what they were up to, Patrick wouldn't let her in.
She looked down at the lotus pond and was in a daze.
Suddenly, she heard a clear voice.
Christina was surprised that Barbara was walking towards her.
"It looks like the baby will be born in two months."
Barbara was not malicious, it was flat as if she was bored and came over to chat with her to kill the time.
"The due date is in October."
Christina didn't want to talk to her, so she replied casually.
"In October, grandpa must be very happy.His baby great- grandson will be born in the same month as him.the Hopkinses must be very busy in October.They will also celebrate Grandpa's 80th birthday this year..."
Hearing Barbara's words, Christina raised her eyebrows.
It turned out that the old man was almost 80 years old.
As his granddaughter-in-law, Christina really felt that she was not responsible enough.
In contrast, Barbara seemed to be part of the Hopkinses.
Did she think she didn't want to ask about it? Patrick was so cold and he didn't let her get involved in anything.
The old man had been very distant to her since he came back from Seattle, so she didn't dare to bother him.
Barbara didn't mean to leave.
She also leaned over the railing and continued to chat with her.
"Christina, are you still angry about Crystal's resignation? I called Crystal a few days ago.I really didn't handle this well enough.I can help her..."
"Miss Parker, are you lost? Patrick's study is over there."
Christina was expressionless and pointed directly to the left.
It was obvious that she didn't want to talk to Barbara.
"You don't have to be so hostile to me..."
"I don't have as many maneuvers as you who has an ulterior motive, so I have to avoid you.Barbara, we're not the same kind of person.Stop pretending" Christina looked impatient and straightened up.She didn't even want to look at Barbara anymore and planned to leave along the corridor.
"What do you mean by an ulterior motive? Do you talk of me to Patrick as well?"
