Christina sat on a chair at the dining table with a sumptuous breakfast in front of her.
However, she had no appetite and didn't eat much.She looked sullen and was very upset.She wanted to get up from her chair immediately and go to the living room to question him.
However, she suddenly felt a sense of timidity and was afraid to know something bad.
"What are you thinking?"
"You're not thinking about your auntie, are you?"
Charles, who was sitting on the other side of the table, was full now.
He wiped his lips with a napkin and looked up at her.He felt that the woman looked a little strange and asked her in an unkind tone.
Christina was stunned for a moment.
She immediately remembered that she had sneaked back to the Hopkins Family.
It was almost 7 a.m. and her aunt had already gotten up.
She would definitely be scolded and become even more depressed.
Forget it, it might be better for her to take the initiative to plead guilty.
"Charles, lend me your phone."
"Christina, did you come back on your own initiative, or..."
"Hand me your phone"
She didn't want to dawdle with him and urged him.
Charles did not hand his phone over but looked at her suspiciously.
"I'm asking you very seriously now.Did you come back voluntarily? It's very important."
"I sneaked back myself and was waiting to be scolded.You're being so womanishly fussy.Give me the phone"
She didn't think too far ahead.She just thought that this guy wanted to gloat at her misfortune.
Charles raised his eyebrows and smiled as if he was satisfied with her answer.He generously took out his phone from his pocket and handed it to her.
However, a maid hurried towards Christina at this moment, accompanied by a familiar ringtone.
"Mrs.Hopkins, there's a new call."
The maid brought her own phone over so she naturally didn't need to use Charles's.
She took the vibrating phone and glanced at the screen.Then she immediately showed a guilty look on her face.
It was her aunt.
"Tell her that you're eloping with Patrick and tell her not to mess around.The second daughter of the Eisenhower Family is really..."
Charles couldn't help complaining.
Betty Eisenhower was really hard to understand.
Christina glared at him and warned him to shut up.
She nervously touched the phone's answer key and called out obediently.
"Auntie."
Betty didn't get angry when she heard her voice.She just said two words calmly.
"Come back!"
Christina held the phone and tensed up for a moment.
After hesitating for two seconds, she whispered, "Auntie, I want to stay in the Hopkins family”
Her voice was very low as if she was guilty of making a mistake like this.Charles was furious at her cowardice! What was she doing? She had been bossing around all day but now was so obedient.He was very dissatisfied with her now.Fortunately, Patrick and Chandler were in the living room so they didn't see her look now.
"Christina, are you a little baby? Can't you make your own decision? Would you divorce Patrick if Betty asks you to do so?"
Charles yelled at her with a gloomy look, not caring that anyone on the other end of the phone could hear him.He just wanted Betty to hear it clearly.
If it weren't for the fact that she was Christina's aunt, they wouldn't have tolerated her so much.
Did she really think that anyone would dare to bully them? "Christina, come back now"
Betty's voice on the other end of the phone was clearly tinged with anger.
"I."
She looked awkward and tried to explain, "Patrick is actually not that difficult to get along with.He is only quite cold to strangers.Auntie, you will accept him if you stay with him for a long time.He is different from my father Donald."
