After breakfast, Christina went back to her bedroom and held her cell phone to browse the gossips about Cecilia......
"Patrick must have had a crazy night with her last night..."
As Christina browsed Twitter, she complained with a complicated expression on her face.
Even she didn't know why she cared so much...It was as if she was jealous.
‘Jealous?’ Christina was shocked at the thought.
"How can I be jealous? Patrick had made it clear to me that it was just a deal..."
Just as she was thinking, suddenly, her phone vibrated and she received a message to add friends on her WhatsApp.
"Who is this?"
Christina frowned and looked at the screen of her cell phone.
Auser nicknamed "Brother Charlie" had just sent a request to add her to his friends.
‘Such a narcissist’ Christina was speechless and ignored the request.
The other party might have thought that Christina would not pass his request and immediately sent a temporary conversation, "I'm Charles."
"Charles, your nickname sounds like a pervert's."
Christina agreed to add him to her friends and she immediately teased him.
Brother Charlie: "My nickname is better than yours.Invincible Tina? Lol, your nickname is an old head, girl.’ Invincible Tina”
"Charles, this is why you want to add me to your friends? Quarreling?"
Christina felt that there was nothing wrong with his WhatsApp nickname.
It was simple and easy to remember.
What was more important was that it made one feel that she was daunting.
Looking at the nickname of Charles on WhatsApp, she suddenly remembered that Charles had reminded her to stop flattering herself as Patrick couldn't possibly like her.
She was just a substitute for Cecilia......
The more Christina thought about it, the more depressed she became.
Invincible Tina: "Charles, I'm busy.Don't look for me if you have nothing to do.Never look for me if you have anything to do."
She replied quickly and wanted to log out of WhatsApp.
Brother Charlie: "Wait, Christina, I'm looking for you for something serious!"
Christina hesitated to see what this unreliable Mr.Shepherd would say.
Brother Charlie: "Patrick has been rather busy lately.He may not have time to accompany you.Well, you know that Cecilia is his true wife, so..."
Invincible Tina: "I told you, I know, Why are you so annoying? I don't like Patrick.I know I don't have the right to think about that.I won't forcibly take this position.’
Christina roared angrily as if she had been provoked.
She sent him a voice message.
Charles raised his eyebrows and could feel the fury of that woman through the phone screen.
‘This woman lives with Patrick all day long.How could she not have any feelings towards him...Jesus!’ Brother Charlie”
"Hey, Christina, don't be angry.I won't talk about that.Actually, Patrick has been busy recently, so he doesn't have time to accompany you.He asked me to take some time to send you to visit your aunt."
Christina looked at the message Charles had just sent and thought for a while.
Patrick was busy staying with his Miss Jones and probably wouldn't accompany her anymore.
She was editing the message and was about to reply and agree to go out together.
At this moment, the maid knocked on the door.
"Ma'am, the Old Master wants you to go to the main hall of the mansion.People from the Dickens Family are here..." Christina looked up at the door.
Her movements stopped abruptly when she heard the people from the Dickens Family had come.
People from the Dickens Family...
The phone vibrated again and Charles sent her a message.
"By the way, Christina, did Patrick go back to the Hopkins Family last night?"
Christina ignored him, tidied up her clothes, and went downstairs with a serious expression.
To Christina's surprise, when she went to the Main Residence of the Hopkins Family, she saw that Patrick came back.
Not only did Patrick come back, but also those people behind him...
Those people were from the Dickens Family.
"What are you doing here?" Patrick walked past her.
He naturally wrapped his right arm around her waist and led her into the hall.
Christina was a little stunned.
She looked at Patrick beside her and turned to look at Donald behind her.
How could they happen to be together...
"It's an honor for us that Patrick personally picks us up at the airport."
The beautiful woman standing next to Donald was her stepmother, Connie.
‘‘Patrick went to the airport early in the morning to pick up the people from the Dickens Family?’’
‘‘Didn't he hang out with Cecilia last night? He must have been ordered by Mr.Hopkins as he came back so early”
The hall of the Hopkins Family was spacious and luxurious with the eight-meter luxury crystal chandelier sparkling above.
Christina sat next to Patrick, and opposite her were Donald and Connie.
Mr.Hopkins sat on the seat of honor.
Everyone did greetings politely, while Christina's expression was complicated and she was silent.
"Since the two of them have already got their certificates, we are in-laws.There's no need to be too polite."
Mr.Hopkins spoke with authority.
"As for the wedding, we'll wait until Christina gives birth to the baby..."
Donald's face did not show any joy.
He said with a calm face, "Mr.Hopkins, I have always respected you very much, but in this matter, I don't think my daughter is worthy of Mr.Hopkins.I don't agree...’ Christina listened to her father scolding her.
She lowered her head and endured.
Donald continued to speak slowly.
"And I heard that she and Mr.Hopkins have no feelings for each other.It’s just an accidental pregnancy.They don't have to get married..."
"You are worried that Christina will be wronged after marrying into Hopkins Family? You are afraid that we will abuse her?"
Mr.Hopkins seemed unhappy and asked in a cold voice.
"Mr.Hopkins, we don't mean that.Please don't misunderstand..."
Connie quickly smiled and flattered as she explained.
Just as Connie's words fell, two men strode in the hall.
"Dad, it's so busy today.Who pays you a New Year call?"
Laurie smiled demurely and walked in with bags of tonics, and Cory was walking in next to her.
Donald looked up and happened to see Cory.
Both of them had mixed expressions of surprise and complexity.
