Spoil My Errant Wife (Patrick and Christina) novel Chapter 57

In the past week, every time Christina passed by the study, she would stare at the thick door.

She wanted to go in.

The old documents in the study made her curious.

But she never had a chance.

It was said that Patrick was very busy on the fiftieth anniversary of the group.

These days, she saw Charles and the rest of them often come over.

They discussed the study very late before leaving.

‘‘I am not invited to the opening ceremony…”

They had just finished breakfast when Patrick's phone began to ring again.

Someone was reporting from the other end of the phone.

Patrick's look went gloomy.

He said in a cold voice, "You can't even handle such a small matter? Idiot."

Christina heard the anger in his voice and looked up at him secretly.

There seemed to be some trouble at the company, but Patrick was generally casual about work, so he rarely got angry about company-related matters.

"Did those old men..."

Even Mr.Hopkins, who was sitting in the middle of the sofa, looked up at him.

With slight anger on his face, Patrick didn't answer the old man’s question and hung up the phone.

"After all, they have been in the company for 30 years.Don't go too far" Mr.Hopkins warned. 

Patrick was in charge of the group.

As a retired old man, Mr.Hopkins would not interfere too much.

Mr.Hopkins suddenly turned to look at Christina beside him.

"Christina, have you learned ballroom dancing? Tonight is the IP&G Group's fiftieth-anniversary party.The first dance requires your company...’ 

"She's not going." Patrick suddenly spoke coldly.

Christina was stunned for a moment, looking bad.

And she lowered her head without refuting.

The IP&G Group's fiftieth-anniversary party would be grand, and the first dance at the party should be performed by Patrick and his partner.

It was obvious that Patrick's partner was not her.

His partner should be Cecilia.

Christina sat with the old man for a while and then went back to her bedroom.

She didn't pay any attention to Cecilia.

Recently, Cecilia posted a wedding photo from three years ago on her Twitter, which quickly became a hot topic.

The grim-faced man in the photo seemed to be the eldest grandson of the Hopkins Family as well as the president of the IP&G Group.

The media did not dare to report on Patrick.

When Cecilia took the initiative to post the photo, the netizens were shocked.

Some people speculated that Cecilia had already stealthily married into a wealthy family.

"No wonder she hates me so much."

Christina sat on the bed and swiped her phone, then lay down and stared at the ceiling.

If she had not been pregnant by accident with Patrick's child, Patrick would have married Cecilia.

Christina subconsciously stroked her abdomen with her right hand.

She was already three months pregnant.

Although she was pregnant with twins, it didn't look obvious as she was thin.

But her palm could feel the life in her stomach.

"He married me because I was pregnant."

The marriage will end soon.

Thinking of Patrick, she felt a little reluctant to leave.

Christina was startled and she quickly got up, forcing herself not to think about him.

At this moment, the phone beside the bed rang.

Christina looked at the number displayed on the screen.

It was a call from the sanatorium where her aunt Betty stayed.

She immediately pressed the answer button.

Before she could speak, the nurse quickly said, "Miss Dickens, your aunt suddenly fainted yesterday..."

"How is my aunt now? Why did she faint?" Christina immediately became anxious.

Betty had been living in that sanatorium for two years, and the doctors and nurses in the hospital were familiar with them.

"Miss Dickens, you don't have to worry too much.Ms.Eisenhower is fine now."

"You should have told me yesterday.’ Christina didn't mean to blame the nurse.

She was just worried.

"Ms.Eisenhower insisted that we don't contact you yesterday,’ the nurse hesitated.

As she spoke, the nurse sighed and told her honestly, "I'm not sure about the situation.Ms.Eisenhower's getting better recently.Yesterday, she was watching TV alone.Suddenly, she cursed loudly after watching a piece of entertainment news.Then she fainted..."

"What kind of news?" Christina looked confused.

"I already know about your divorce with Cory!" Bettv snatched the nurse’s phone.

Her voice was unusually angry.

"Christina, why did you keep it from me about your divorce? If I hadn't seen the wedding report on Cory and that slut on the TV, you would have kept it from me for the rest of your life!"

Christina was surprised and guilty when she heard Betty's voice.

"I'm sorry’' 

"Auntie, I didn't mean it.I just...’ She explained nervously.

Betty was gentle and rarely spoke in such a cold voice.

"Christina, you know why I'm angry.I'm angry that you didn't tell me anything.I'm angry that my heart is too weak, bring you trouble."

Betty sounded excited, and she held the phone tightly in her right hand.

"I know you're worried about my illness, but you have to tell me the truth.Why did Cory divorce you? Why did he marry Carrie? Did the two sisters make trouble for you? My sister has been forced to die by them."

Christina thought of her mother who had committed suicide, and she was getting more depressed.

"Auntie, I divorced three months ago.Don't worry about me," she said in a low voice after a moment of silence.

"I don't like Cory anymore.It doesn’t matter to me whom he marries."

"Tina, I know you haven't been happy marrying into the Hampton Family in the past few years.I can tell even if you don't tell me." Betty's voice was faint and sad.
