Spoil My Errant Wife (Patrick and Christina) novel Chapter 228

Christina didn't know what Patrick and the others were talking about in the study, but it seemed to be something urgent.

They were busy from 8 to 12 in the morning and they declined lunch to continue working.

The door of the study remained closed.

She spent a drowsy afternoon in the bedroom next door until 6 at night when Nanny Faang knocked on her door and asked her what she wanted for dinner.

Christina got up and was about to open the door.

When she reached the door, she sensitively heard the sound of the doorknob turning in the study.She went out and walked towards the study.

Charles and the others did come out of the study.

Nanny Faang also walked over and asked, "Mr.Shepherd, do you want to stay for dinner?"

"No, I'm leaving now" Charles replied succinctly.

He took a few documents in his right hand and walked in a hurry.

When he passed Christina, he only glanced at her and didn't say a word.

Christina frowned as she watched him go downstairs and leave.She felt that Charles had something urgent to do.

He seemed to be nervous about something.

"Rest well..."

Chandler's voice came from the study, this should have been said to Patrick.

She was in a daze for a moment.She pushed the door of the study wide open with her right hand and walked in quickly.

Just as she entered, she almost bumped into Chandler, who was going out.

Chandler saw that she looked a little anxious and smiled gently at her.

"Please keep an eye on Patrick for us.Let us know if anything happens"

Christina heard his words but didn't understand.

Chandler didn't explain to her.

He walked past her calmly as usual but added in alow voice, "Stay with him."

Stayed with Patrick? Did he need it? She felt a little unusual, turned around, and saw that Chandler had already strode away.

Feeling a little heavy for some reason, she turned around and walked towards the study.

She looked at the man at the desk, who was still reading papers.

"Chandler just said.."

Christina paused, struggled for a while, and asked him directly, "Are you feeling unwell?"

"I'm fine," Patrick said.

He knew that she had come in and replied without even looking up.

Christina felt that he was very perfunctory and immediately became a little angry.

"You're not a child.If you feel unwell, go to see a doctor.Can you stop making me worry about you all the time?"

Perhaps the word "worry"touched him, Patrick pushed the documents in front of him aside and looked up at her deeply for awhile.

"Christina, I want you to promise me one thing."

His voice sounded a little hoarse and serious.

His tone was so solemn that Christina suddenly became nervous and stammered, "What, what do you want me to do?"

"Promise me to stay here, don't leave the house at all."

"Why?" Patrick had asked her to do so before, and now he emphasized it again.

Christina looked at him suspiciously.

"It's dangerous outside."

Hearing his simple and insincere explanation, Christina raised her voice to refute him, "How dangerous could it be? Besides, I'm not like those weak and delicate women.I can protect myself"

It seemed that her answer dissatisfied him, Patrick stood up suddenly with a sullen face.

His figure was much taller and stronger than hers, making him look oppressive and domineering.

His attitude was extremely firm, and he shouted at her coldly, "Christina, you'd better not mess with me, or I'll ground you and you won't be able to get out of even the bedroom!"

Christina immediately became furious, bastard! He had such a bad temper and wanted everyone to listen to him! She took a big step forward, slapped her hands on the desk, and told him angrily, "If I'm going to run away, do you think the person you send to watch me can stop me?"

The two of them confronted each other with a table in between.

Patrick was angry looking at her unruly face, and suddenly his head ached even more.
