After 12 am, it was the first day of the lunar new year.
According to the tradition of the Hopkins family, Senior Mr.Hopkins handed them a large stack of red envelopes.
Of course, the twin babies had the largest red envelopes, and Patrick received two red envelopes from his grandfather this year.
One of them was for Christina.
Patrick didn't sleep much last night.
Someone in the distance set off fireworks privately.
The fireworks were blooming in the night sky, which was beautiful and bright.
He stood in front of the french window and looked at them all night.
After the day he carried the children to the apartment to see Christina, she then went back to C City, and he did not contact her either.
However, he clearly wanted to see her.
Patrick was not sure whether it was because of his male pride or not.
When facing Christina, he was quite different from his normal style.
In the past, if he wanted something, he would only care about the result.
However, this time, he had a lot of concerns and was afraid of being rejected.
Perhaps he was afraid of failure, just like he originally hid the children from her.He was used to winning.He didn't know how to maintain a good relationship.
Although he went pretty smooth in the past, he would always meet troubles when dealing with things related to her.
He was a little annoyed holding a big red envelope in the spacious luxury master bedroom in the Eastern Garden.
When Nanny Fang knocked on the door and called out to him, Patrick came back to his senses.He curled his lips a little bit, laughing at himself.
"Mr.Shepherd and Mr.Stephenson are here." She told him excitedly as soon as she saw him open the door.
Patrick was surprised.
"Charles and Chandler?"
"Yes, Mr.Stephenson comes with his wife.She's Mrs.Hopkins’ good friend..." Crystal was here too.
"Didn't grandpa say he wouldn't receive any visitors?"
Nanny Fang smiled, "Senior Mr.Hopkins received a congratulatory call from Mr.Shepherd early in the morning.They chatted happily and Senior Mr.Hopkins asked them to come over."
Mr.Shepherd was really likable and especially good at making people happy.
Charles had a cold war with Patrick a while ago.He must have other purposes to come to pay a new year call on the first day of the lunar new year.
"Grandpa, can we go and see the babies?" Charles was drinking tea in the living room.
Finally, he couldn't help but ask the old man a little fawningly.
Senior Mr.Hopkins refused, "The children are still sleeping.They are too young now and need enough sleep."
Crystal was also anxious and suggested with a low voice, "Grandpa, we would not say a word in the nursery.Can we just take a look quietly?"
Senior Mr.Hopkins deliberately scolded her.
"Can you promise to only take one look? What If you stay there after taking two looks?"
Crystal was so nervous that she swore not to talk nonsense.
Why was it so difficult to communicate with Senior Mr.Hopkins? Crystal was born with a soft voice, which was the type of granddaughter-in-law that Senior Mr.Hopkins was most satisfied with.
In fact, the reason that the Hopkins family adopted Brianna was that she was obedient and quiet, and Senior Mr.Hopkins even planned to let Brianna marry Patrick when she grew up.
His grandson probably didn't like women who were too obedient, but the elders liked girls like Crystal, as they were simple and quiet, and at least they would not cause a lot of trouble.
"Grandpa, I wish you a happy new year and good health."
Geoffrey also came with his parents.He was 6 years old and wore a custom-made blue suit.He was very elegant and handsome.
"Good boy."
Senior Mr.Hopkins touched his little head and immediately called the butler to get the red envelope.
The old man's favorite thing was to send the red envelope to the children.
Geoffrey simply sat next to the old man, raised his head, and asked him curiously, "Grandpa, are my brothers cute?"
