Spoil My Errant Wife (Patrick and Christina) novel Chapter 369

The Dickens family had a custom.

On the first day of the lunar new year, the whole family must get up early and have the lotus seed sweet soup in the dining room.

However, Christina was not up yet.

Mrs.Dickens was not so particular and decided not to wake her up.

The light in Christina's room had been on last night, so she probably hadn't fallen asleep all night.

Betty helped Donald to the table.

Donald had suffered from a cerebral hemorrhage and hemiplegia before.

After treatment and rehabilitation, he could walk slowly with a cane instead of sitting in a wheelchair, although his left hand and feet couldn't move freely yet.

The three of them sat around the table.

Betty spooned three bowls of lotus seed sweet soup, but they all had no appetite.

"We shouldn't have refused Senior Mr.Hopkins’ invitation of visiting his family..." Mrs.Dickens put down the spoon and suddenly sighed.

"Those two children are also our relatives.I really want to see them.I've been thinking about them for the past few days..." Mrs.Dickens was depressed and had no appetite, muttering to herself.

"Betty, what about aggressively urging the Hopkins family to let us raise a child?"

Betty had been in a daze for several days after knowing that the children were still alive.She had been guilty of killing the kids and was eager to have a look at them.

Betty was also distressed.

"How could the Hopkins family allow us to do so?" Mrs.Dickens was reluctant.

"Anyway, they have the twins.The Hopkins family has the only grandson Patrick, and we only have Christina as well.They lack children, and so do we.Who doesn't want the house to be noisy? Why do the Hopkins family possess two children?"

A week before the new year, Christina returned from A City.

After entering the house, she told them calmly, "The kids are alive.They are in the Hopkins family now."

The news came as a shock.

They wanted to ask more, but they were afraid to mention the children in front of Christina.

"How could the Hopkins family do so? It can never be tolerated! How could they put the children at risk.They really don't care about us.If Christina lives with the Hopkins family, she will be bullied to death!"

Mrs.Dickens was more excited.

"Mom, don't mention the word ‘death’ on the first day of the lunar new year"

Donald, who had been silent, suddenly spoke calmly.

Then his right hand took out his phone from his coat pocket and put it on the table.He tapped the screen and opened WhatsApp after a while...

Next, he played a short video.

Mrs.Dickens wasn't interested in the video at first, but she suddenly heard a baby crying.

Betty's expression changed and she quickly got closer to have a look.

Mrs.Dickens’ and Betty's eyes fixed on the twin in the short video which lasted only 9 seconds.

The two babies cried hard in their small bed with big eyes open wide.

Betty clicked the screen to repeatedly play the video.She was in a daze, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Gradually, tears welled up in her eyes.

"They are so handsome and energetic."

Mrs.Dickens said happily, with her eyes fixed on the screen and her eyebrows curved.It had been a long time since Mrs.Dickens was so happy.

"Donald, you've done a good job.We've been taking care of you all day.Where did you get the video? Why don't you tell us!"

Betty turned around and looked at the expressionless man with some annoyance, complaining.

"Donald, you know that Betty and I are extremely worried, and we don't dare to ask Christina.You should have told us about it earlier"

Mrs.Dickens agreed that her son was excessive.

Donald was innocent.He was seriously ill and taken good care of by his family.
