Spoil My Errant Wife (Patrick and Christina) novel Chapter 272

Christina hadn't been herself recently.She hadn't talked to anyone since she'd met Crystal and Chandler's son last week.

The whole world was busy, but she seemed to lose her direction suddenly.She called Crystal to ask her to go shopping.

"Chandler has been working on a big project with the Hopkins Group recently.He's always away on business, so he left Geoffrey to me.That boy is so annoying, and I don’t have any free time now"

Crystal complained.

"Are you calling to ask me to go shopping with you?"

Crystal thought about it and decided that her friend was more important, so she said, "Chandler came back last night.He's in the study now.I'll go talk to him.Hold on"

Crystal was about to rush to the study to ask her boss for leave when the doorbell rang.

Who would it be at this time? Crystal had already taken herself as the servant in this house and turned to answer the door first.

When she pulled the door open, both she and the woman outside the door were stunned.

"Stop staring like a fool and go make tea"

Chandler said, walking out of his study.

The two women came back to their senses due to his voice.

Crystal then forced a smile and said politely, "Come in.I'll make you some tea."

Crystal quickly made tea in the living room and left tactfully.

She couldn't help but cast a glance at Chandler as she walked away.Why was Barbara here?

 "Why is she here?"

Barbara was as curious as she was.

Chandler replied casually without changing his countenance, "She's my maid."

"Crystal is your maid?"

Barbara gasped incredulously.

Crystal had worked for her before so she knew that Crystal could absolutely get a better job than being a maid.

Thinking that Crystal was Christina's good friend, she shot a glance at the kitchen and asked jokingly, "Are you and she in a relationship?"

As if he hadn't heard his question, Chandler shouted at the kitchen with a serious face, "Miss Zhu, Geoffrey's teacher called me saying that he needed to have a word with me.You go to the school now and tell me everything after you come back."

Crystal was trying to eavesdrop on them but only heard her boss send her on an errand again.Her face darkened.

How could he take it for granted that she should go? It was on the weekend and she had no overtime pay.

But she'd quit fighting for her rights and mumbled reluctantly, "I see."

"Is it Barbara?"

Christina hadn't hung up and heard the faint sound from Crystal's side.

"Yep"

Crystal said, "I heard that she was promoted again in the IP&G Group.I think she’s here to talk to Chandler about the project."

Christina listened quietly and answered lethargically, "Mmm.Crystal asked her if she wanted to go out to the kindergarten with her but she refused.She would inevitably think too much when she saw these kids.

After hanging up the phone, Christina took another antidepressant pill.

The empty house made her listless and she decided to hang around a bit to figure out what she should do next.

Betty had called her yesterday, asking if she had plans to leave the city for a new place.

Christina didn't want to leave but she didn't know why.

At least she wouldn't leave now.

It was in early September but the wind was already freezing.She wondered if it was because the winter had come early this year or because she'd become weaker.

With an overcoat and a scarf, she was shivering while walking along the street.

Christmas was approaching and many stores played Christmas songs and had Christmas trees laden with decorations outside the doors.

The Santa Claus in red could be seen everywhere.

She hadn't celebrated Christmas for many years.She watched parents and children chattering and laughing with teary eyes.

It seemed that she would never experience such happiness.She walked aimlessly along the street.
