Spoil My Errant Wife (Patrick and Christina) novel Chapter 3

"Patrick, you still know to come back?"

In the middle of the wide sofa in the living room sat an old man with a solemn face.

He was in a black suit embroidered with gold thread.

Holding a walking stick, he was shouting angrily at his grandson.

Around 5 am, Patrick got back home from the hotel.

Patrick glanced at his grandfather on the sofa, whom he had not seen for many years, and decided to ignore him.

He walked straight to the study on the second floor.

"Stop right there! Do you hear me?"

His grandpa got so angry that his face darkened.

"Patrick, old master heard that you would come home last night, and has been waiting for you at home all night long."

The old butler, who was standing aside, said slowly with a smile on his face, "Young master, I haven't seen you for so many years.You're getting more handsome..."

Patrick nodded at the old butler and turned to look at his grandfather on the sofa.

His grandfather was in high spirits, but with a sullen face now.

"I have something important to do..."

Patrick said flatly and walked straight up the stairs as he spoke.

Mr.Hopkins glared at him furiously, but he knew Patrick's cold nature very well, so he could only roar to his back, "Go to Gordon Hotel for a blind date at seven tomorrow night..."

"No"

When Mr.Hopkins saw Patrick ignore him completely and stride towards the study, he got so angry that he wanted to hit his unfilial grandson with the walking stick.

"Look what he is like now!"

"Old Master, young master has just returned from the United States.Don't force him to go on a blind date in such a hurry...’’ The old butler couldn't help laughing and advised.

Mr.Hopkins stared at him, "How can I not be in a hurry? I have only one grandson.He’s almost 30 years old but doesn't even have a girlfriend.When will he give me a great-grandson?"

"Young master has never fancied women that much since childhood..."

The old butler also looked worried.

"Old Master, we will hold a party next month, and there must be many ladies coming.Then young master can pick one he likes..."

When Mr.Hopkins thought of the party, he raised his brows slightly and told in an old and stern voice.

"Make it grand, and tell them.Any girl who is able to make him settled down, I will recognize her as the granddaughter-in-law of the Hopkins Family, no matter what her family background is..."

It was the end of January.

Winter had come, and the New Year was half month away.

Big red lanterns were hanging in the air, while the colored lights were flashing on the streets.

Everywhere was bathed in a festive atmosphere of the New Year.

However, Christina was sitting in a coffee shop with a gloomy face.

Looking blue, she was stirring the cold coffee with her right hand.

Ever since she had caught her husband and his mistress's ‘love story’ that day, Christina had moved back to her old apartment, hidden in the small apartment, and lived an unexamined life.

Christina rubbed her temple with her right hand.

She paid the bill and wanted to go back to the apartment to sleep for a while, but when she scrabbled around in the bag, she frowned.

Suddenly, she remembered the night she had spent in the hotel with that strange man and she had left in a hurry and left behind her clothes and bag, in which there were her driving license and ID card.

"D*mn it!"

"Stop pretending to be miserable! Christina, what kind of trick did you play to make my mother disapprove of our divorce? Can you please let me go? I don't want to do anything with such a shameless woman!"

All of a sudden, the cafe door opened.

Cory was staring at her, who was paying the bill at the counter, as if she was an enemy, his cold voice full of mockery.

When Christina heard the voice, a hint of pain flashed across her eyes.

She pursed her lips, raised her head, and pretended to be strong.

Then she turned around and strode straight past him.

Cory was surprised.

Seeing her ignore him like this, he felt angry and reached out to grab her arm.

"Let go of me!"

Christina threw his hand away in disgust.

Cory got even more fretful at the sight of her disgust for him, and sneered, "Christina, don't flatter yourself and don't ever think that I'm here to coax you.It's just that my Mom asked you to go to the party held by the Hopkins Family."

"I'm not interested!"

Christina didn't feel well right now and was having a splitting headache.

For more than a month, Christina had wanted to get a divorce but was rejected by Laurie, who only told her not to make a fuss, while Cory also listened to his mother and didn't dare to mention the divorce again.

"Don't waste my time! You'd better stay in the corner.You were originally unqualified to go to the party"

Cory warned in a cold voice.

Leaving her alone, he turned around and strode away.

In the hall of the Hopkins Family's mansion, the party was held in a splendid and magnificent way.

The eight-meter-long European crystal chandelier was shining above.

It felt like a grand blind date, with stunning beauties in full makeup everywhere.

They talked, laughed, and toasted, looking very excited.

Christina felt depressed and unwell, so she walked towards a quiet corner.
