In the corner of this magnificent and spacious hall in Hopkins family, the antique clock made a deep sound.
It rang exactly 12 times, indicating that it was 12:00 am.
Usually, the lunch had already started, but today, a row of people were sitting in the hall chatting.
Obviously, they were waiting for someone.
Christina did not ask who had been invited, because she had been very upset recently.
Listening to Barbara and Charles talking and laughing beside her, she kept looking down at her toes and thinking about other things.
"Grandpa, what name are you gonna give the two babies?"
"It's a big deal, so I haven't decided yet..."
The babies in her belly were the topic of their discussion.
The whole Hopkins family was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
Christina did not know what was wrong with her.
As an expectant mother, she was not that excited, but nervous.
Suddenly, a big palm was gently put on her abdomen.
Christina raised her head in shock and looked at the man beside her, "Is there anything wrong?"
Christina thought he had something to tell her, but Patrick didn't say anything.
His eyes were as deep as the sea, always hard to see through.
His big palm touched her abdomen and sensed the new lives.
He didn't care about the eyes around him at all.
Christina blushed slightly and lowered her voice, "Stop it"
In the past, Patrick used to say this to Christina when he was teased by her, but now it was Christina that said this to him.
Somehow, there was joy in his eyes.
Christina felt that Patrick really liked to tease her more and more recently.
He was so childish.
However, he was really in a good mood these days.
It seemed that Senior Mr.Hopkins thought his grandson had humiliated him.
He snorted coldly and glanced at Patrick with disdain.
The atmosphere in the hall was good, and Charles occasionally made jokes, making everyone laugh.
Charles sighed, "I'm going to be a godfather."
Christina could not help but laugh.She didn't expect Senior Mr.Hopkins agreed to let Charles be the godfather of her children.
Why didn't he choose Chandler? At least Chandler was more reliable.
"Grandpa, the education should start as early as possible."
"Well.When they're one month old, I'll teach them..."
