At night, the streetlights on both sides of the busy street were already on.
A silver-gray Porsche was parked quietly by the sidewalk.
The driver opened the back door and waited.
A man and a woman sat in the car.
Both of them looked outside the window at his/ her side.
It was very quiet in the car.
"Young Master Hopkins, Butler Rovy said that Hopkins family had dinner in advance tonight.If you and young madam have other arrangements, you don't have to hurry back"
The driver, who was driving, was a little nervous.
He reported it seriously and looked carefully into the rearview mirror above.
The young master seemed to be in a bad mood tonight.
"Go back to Hopkins family:"
The man in the back seat said in a deep voice without changing his expression.
Christina, who was sitting next to him, looked out the window at the streetlights that were retreating rapidly.
She had no objections, nor did she make any sound.
The people in Hopkins family knew that she and Patrick had not been getting along well recently.
The butler probably wanted to create an opportunity for them, but she and Patrick were silent when being together.
It would take at least half an hour to get to Hopkins family this time.
The strange atmosphere made everyone feel a little uncomfortable.
Christina leaned against the window with her right hand supporting her chin.
When she glanced over the driver's seat, she noticed that the driver was very reserved.
The servants in Hopkins family seemed to be particularly afraid of Patrick.
"Grandpa and the others have dinner in advance tonight.Are they still busy with the baby's celebrating party?" She suddenly asked.
The man beside her thought for a moment and looked sideways at her cheek for a long time.
The driver finally came to his sense.
Knowing that Christina was talking to him, he immediately answered in surprise.
"Yes, yes...Senior Mr.Hopkins and Butler Rovy have been preparing for the banquet for the past few days.I heard that Senior Mr.Hopkins also wants to postpone his 80th birthday next month and choose to celebrate it at the same day."
