Christina hadn't contacted Crystal for a while since she came back from switzerland.
"How have you been lately?"
Christina spoke to her on WhatsApp, "Senior Mr.Hopkins stayed outside for a week.I found that he seemed to have lost some weight, but he was still very tough."
Patrick had previously said that grandpa was afraid that she would be angry, but it turned out that's not the case at all.
Senior Mr.Hopkins had just come back for half the day and then began to fight for the babies with her.
Christina was a little excited at the thought of the twins, and she said in WhatsApp, "I find that the younger baby is one kilo heavier than the elder baby.Maybe this is because the younger one likes to cry a lot and drinks a lot of milk powder after that, so he grows fat more easily."
Crystal also smiled and asked her, "Christina, are you going to be a full-time mother at home in the future?"
Christina thought for a moment.
Since she had decided to come back to the Hopkins family, her first job was to take care of the babies.
Otherwise, what else would she have to do?
"I'm going out to find a job outside."
Crystal told her without waiting for her to reply.
"Does Chandler agree? Aren't you going to stay at home and take care of the daily meals of the Stephenson family?"
"Chandler asked me to work out.He said that if I stay at home as a cook, I will lose my social connections.He also said that women nowadays have better have their own ability to survive.He said that there have been a lot of marriages where one side is poor and one side is rich, and women in this kind of marriage are easy to suffer losses."
Christina listened and came to a conclusion, "Crystal, you're right to get married to Chandler.He's quite good to you"
Crystal's voice was also filled with happiness, "Chandler also asked me to sign some donation agreements, saying that if something bad happens in the future, I will own that jewelry and shops.I don't agree to sign such things.I think he’s thinking too much.How can we have so many troubles if we live peacefully?"
"Does Chandler often communicate with you?"
Christina's tone became a little strange.
"It's such a long journey for a couple to complete in life.It's better for a couple to share and discuss things together"
Crystal had been living a very comfortable life recently.
She was a happy little woman.She did not notice Christina's strange tone.She added sweetly, "Although I am not smart, I can also make suggestions about work and life.But most of the time, it is Chandler who lectures with his vicious tongue."
"Couples need to communicate with each other, right?"
Christina asked seriously, "Of course...Let's chat later.I am going to pick up Geoffrey from school."
After chatting with Crystal, Christina looked a little serious.
She found a problem, that was, couples in other families would communicate with each other.
But the icy man Patrick, her husband, was not willing to spend more time talking to her at all.
As usual, dinner time was 7 o'clock in the Hopkins family.
Members of the Hopkins family were all here.
Senior Mr.Hopkins stayed outside for one week, saying that he went to visit his old friend.
After he came back, he did not give his grandson a nice look.He looked grim.
But it did not matter anyway, as grandpa had always been so serious with a grave face.
But Patrick soon noticed that tonight his wife didn't seem to be nice to him either.
Senior Mr.Hopkins was old but shrewd.
He suddenly noticed that Christina was in a bad mood tonight.
He glanced at his unfilial grandson opposite him again.
Senior Mr.Hopkins immediately regained his appetite and ate an extra half bowl of rice.
"Why are you eating so little tonight?" Patrick asked.
After dinner, the busy man Patrick was originally going to the study to handle documents.
Tonight, instead of getting up immediately, he asked the woman beside him, "What do you want to eat? Ask the kitchen to get it for you."
Christina said angrily, "No."
Patrick stared at her with a serious expression.
Senior Mr.Hopkins immediately lost his temper, "She's full of anger.What else do you want her to eat?"
Christina was obviously angry.
She pushed Patrick, "Aren't you going to the study to have a video conference with someone? Go on.Don't tell me who you're going to video with and what the project plan is.I'm not interested in it and I don't want to know"
Patrick frowned at Senior Mr.Hopkins and Christina, "What...happened?"
"Grandpa, let's go to the living room to make tea."
"Okay: Senior Mr.Hopkins and Christina had a tacit understanding.They ignored Patrick and left.Patrick went to the study with a sullen face.
During the meeting, the regional president was unlucky enough to speak to Patrick when he was upset.
As a result, Patrick criticized his proposal seriously.
At 12 o'clock at midnight, Patrick finished his urgent business in the study.
Before that, Nanny Faang had brought him a cup of ginseng soup.
He then asked her to bring Christina some supper snacks.
Nanny Faang then reported helplessly that Christina insisted that she would not be hungry and refused to eat.
Patrick frowned when he returned to the master bedroom, "What happened tonight?"
He found out that Christina was still up so late.
"I just can't sleep, what's wrong?"
She retorted in a stubborn tone.
Patrick suddenly quieted down and looked at her bright and beautiful face.
When she was angry, she was still in high spirits.
He really didn't understand how a woman thought of things, but he couldn't possibly be angry with her.
"Why didn't you eat tonight? Are you feeling unwell?"
He softened his tone.
Christina sat cross-legged on the big bed, turned her face, and turned her back at him.
She was unwilling to talk to him.
Originally Patrick was a little angry, But when he looked at her childish acts, his thin lips curled up and he smiled helplessly.
He strode towards the bed, "Let's ask the servant to cook supper snacks.What do you want to eat?"
He sat down beside the bed.He was sitting right behind her.He was so close that Christina didn't dare to be so presumptuous.
