Spoil My Errant Wife (Patrick and Christina) novel Chapter 23

By daybreak, the next day, all three fires from last night had been burned out...

The rain had stopped.

Christina ate the steamed buns.

After thanking the enthusiastic couple, they wanted to rush back.

Because today was New Year's eve, everyone wanted to go home and reunite.

Christina took a peek at Patrick.

They had planned to go back to A City the day before yesterday to spend the New Year with Mr.Hopkins.

They didn't expect this to happen.

It seemed that they had to hurry back.

The Old Man had a bad temper.

But just as Christina was about to leave with them, Leo stopped her and said, "I think you had better stay here with us.’ "The torrential rain last night caused a mudslide that buried many farmlands and houses nearby.The surrounding residences were destroyed, making it harder to get through the mountain roads..."

Charles said with a rare seriousness, "Christina should stay.Now the hillsides will collapse at any time.The flood hasn't completely subsided.We'll send someone to pick her up when we get back..."

After all, Christina was pregnant, she couldn't exert herself too much since she was still weak.

The few of them looked at each other for a moment in silence, and then they all looked at Patrick.

Patrick took a look at Christina and suddenly strode to her.

Without saying anything, he held her hand and led her straight out the door.

"She's with me."

Charles and the others looked at each other, from Patrick's cold profile, knowing that his decision would not change.

"Then we are leaving now.Thank you so much for taking us in last night.’ Charles and the others then followed them.

"Patrick, I think it would be better for Christina to stay for another night."

Charles and the others plodded upward, winding their way back and forth across the face of the mountain with great difficulty.

They also had to pay careful attention to the surrounding mountains.

Patrick tightened his grip on her wrist as if he didn't care about Charles's words.

He looked around vigilantly and led her forward step by step.

"She's with me." He repeated again.

Patrick's deep eyes fell on the woman's face beside him...

Only by keeping her by his side would he be relieved.

Christina didn't know what he was thinking.

He held her too tight as her wrist hurt.

She looked up at him and said, "I, I can actually..."

"Christina, don't even think about it!"

Patrick said in a calm voice and immediately refuted.

Christina was depressed.

'Why is he so cold? I didn't even finish my words.”

After walking for about half an hour, a shallow river three meters wide appeared in front of them.

Originally, this river did not exist.

It should form from the large influx of heavy rain last night when the rainfall blew the mud from the hillsides.

"It was not too deep, about 30 centimeters.You can come over…”

Someone had already stepped across the water.

Christina watched them cross the shallow river in an orderly fashion, ready to follow.

However, she was suddenly carried by Patrick who turned around.

Surprised at his movement, she screamed in shock, "What are you doing?"

Patrick saw that she was not at all at ease as she kept struggling, and he angrily reminded her, "Do you forget the injury on your foot?"

She stopped struggling, blushed his stare.

She almost forgot that her hand and foot were injured, and she might have inflammation at the touch of water.

Patrick was very strong that it was easy to carry her across this shallow river.

But Christina noticed that Patrick took a firm grip on her legs and walked every step carefully as if he was afraid of something.

‘This man seems to take everything seriously: She looked at him with her eyes sideways.

‘To be honest, he looks very handsome when he is focused: "What are you looking at?"

Patrick lowered his eyes and noticed that she was a little absent-minded, so he asked casually.

While Christina immediately turned her head away as if she had done something wrong.

She replied, "Nothing.’ However, as soon as she turned her head, her eyes widened as if she were extremely nervous, and her hand directly inched toward his crotch...

"Christina, what, what are you doing..."

The next second, Patrick froze, and he even stopped his way forward.

He couldn't believe that the woman in his arms could not wait to untie his belt.

When Charles and the others heard Patrick's surprised inhalation, they turned around and were all dumbfounded.

"Christina, not here..."

Patrick seemed to be startled by her sudden initiative and did not stop her.

Christina ignored their strange expressions and pulled out the belt around Patrick's waist.

Without a word, she quickly whipped down a fruit tree on the right.

When Patrick and the others saw clearly, they noticed that there were many green bamboo venomous snakes on the trees in the orchard they were shuttling through.

Just a meter or so, Christina hit its tender spot and it remained motionless.

"Put me down!"

They had already crossed the shallow river.

Christina broke free from his arms and ran all the way to the snake.

She picked up a big rock and threw it directly at the snake.

Seeing that the snake was completely dead, she put her arms around her waist and said proudly, "You don't even have a chance!"

At this moment, the men behind Christina were all dumbfounded, and even Patrick's eyebrows raised slightly in surprise.Most women were afraid of snakes, especially poisonous ones, but she just...

Charles was the first to laugh out loud.

"Christina, you can't wait to untie Patrick's belt and protect him bravely.You deserve to be a hero."
