"I don't know...I've been feeling a chill in my spine lately..."
"The people in the Hopkinses also arranged a psychiatrist for me.The psychiatrist said that pregnancy hormones could make people paranoid and sensitive..The day before yesterday, I was so annoyed that I started to complain to Patrick, but he didn't say anything to comfort me, and he still laughed at me."
Christina was very dissatisfied.She was resting at home for her pregnancy.
After lunch, she stayed in her bedroom and called Crystal to complain.
"Crystal, how's your work? Do you have time to visit Hopkins Family?"
Christina was so idle that she suspected that she was really suffering from delusions, "If you're not free, then I'll come to you."
Crystal held her cell phone and rolled her eyes, "Please don't go out.You are bearing twins, and if you get hurt by some bumping, I don't know how to tell your husband."
"Does that mean I can't go out until delivering babies in October?"
Christina suggested.
Did all pregnant women have no human rights now? Crystal sympathized with her.
"The main thing is that your husband is too scary”
"By the way, where's your Mr.Hopkins? He should be at home with you, right?"
Crystal had heard from her former colleagues at the IP&G Group that Patrick had handed over the company's main projects to the vice president.
The secretary's office on the top floor was full of exciting gossip, saying their president had "asked for maternity leave".
"He did say before that he would spend less time working and try to be with me.."
Christina muttered in a low voice.
The people outside always said that Patrick was ruthless, but Patrick was really good to her.
On second thought, she was a little resentful.
"He's not home right now.He's busy.He flew to America last night."
And Christina knew that Barbara had gone with him.But she didn't know what they were busy doing in the United States.
"He seems to trust Barbara."
"Are you still jealous of Barbara?"
"Not really..."
Christina said in a sullen voice, "It's just that there's another woman who cares about my husband, and I feel uncomfortable about this..."
Crystal suddenly yelled, "Christina!"
"Don't think too much.You must get panicked for being idle.You said you fell into the pool and saw a dark shadow at the door.Anyway, just live your idle life.Don't be so stupid as to fight with Patrick and let those mistresses outside take advantage of it.If you do not look for trouble, you will be ok!"
Crystal had been busy looking for a job recently, and all kinds of unspoken rules in the workplace made her tired and unable to resist.
She had no choice but to endure it in order to live, so she really envied Christina.
She said a lot of wise rules, but Christina on the other end of the phone suddenly became silent.
Crystal was very depressed, "What are you thinking?"
"Oh, nothing."
Christina replied, beginning to reflect on her own role as a wife, who seemed to have not fully fulfilled her duty.
"I was thinking that I have not given Patrick any official gifts..."
"Do you want to buy a present for your wife?"
On a shopping street full of luxury goods in Seattle, the saleswomen were all well-trained.
They looked at the man wearing an expensive suit in front of them.
He had a platinum ring on his left ring finger, which obviously showed that he was married.
In this bustling city, there were many men from the upper class who came here with beautiful girls in their arms.
These men spoke sweet words and bought expensive gifts to please these women, who also were very clear that these men pretended to be single and had no interest in wearing wedding rings.
This man in front of them was rare.
"I've known you for so many years.How could I not know that you also fall for romance..."
This was a commercial street near the international airport.
