Spoil My Errant Wife (Patrick and Christina) novel Chapter 9

Mr.Hopkins glanced at her, and it seemed he didn't mind her overhearing.

He warned told her in a dignified voice, "You should avoid using smartphones too much since you're pregnant."

And he looked at the cell phone that had fallen on the floor.

Christina quickly picked up the phone.

"I see," she replied obediently.

"Ma'am, it's nearing the new year.We've arranged your wedding after the new year.Because you're pregnant and shouldn't walk a lot, the wedding will be simple.We'll only entertain some important guests.After the baby is born, we'll hold another grand banquet for the baby's first-month birthday.’ The old butler told her about the wedding.

"Okay."

Christina followed their arrangements, and she thought after the baby was born, she probably had have left Hopkins Family.

But as the new year approached, Christina remembered something else.

She thought her aunt might have already returned to the apartment.

"About your aunt..."

The old butler seemed to have guessed what she was thinking about and said in a deep voice, his eyes fixed on her with a look.

"Your aunt Betty has a heart attack.We've already sent someone to contact the hospital and are actively looking for a suitable source of heart..."

When Christina heard this, she was stunned and her eyes turned red.

What she had been most worried about was her aunt's illness, which had worsened over the past few years.

But she had nothing could do but watch her relatives become increasingly haggard and thin.

"Thank you."

She lowered her head and said in a choked voice.

She never thought that Mr.Hopkins would be willing to help her aunt.

If he could really save her aunt's life, she could do anything for him.

Christina looked up at Mr.Hopkins sitting on the sofa again and asked carefully, "Grandpa, can I go back?"

Mr.Hopkins looked at her in a dignified manner and narrowed his eyes.

He did not answer.

Instead, he turned his head and ignored her.

Christina was a little anxious when she saw that the venerable old man ignored her.

"We will not confine your freedom,’ said the old butler kindly.

Then the butler ordered a maid outside the door to call the driver to take her back to the small apartment in the old district.

Christina cast a grateful glance at the old butler and respectfully said to Mr.Hopkins, "Grandpa, I'll go back very soon.’’ Christina's footsteps were stiff and she followed the maid to the door.

"Do I look so terrifying?!"

Just as Christina walked out of the door, Mr.Hopkins asked with dissatisfaction in a deep voice, "Is she afraid of me?!"

The old butler could not help but laugh.

"Old Master, except Young Master, everyone is afraid of you."

Even the top businessmen respected and feared the Old Master in Hopkins Family.

Besides, Christina was just a woman.

Well, the Old Master and Young Master of the Hopkins Family had the same temperament and were unapproachable.

"Old Master, you seem to like Christina very much.’ 

"Who said I liked her?"

Mr.Hopkins's expression was complicated and he glared at the butler.

"I just think Christina is better than Cecilia"

The old butler chuckled and said nothing.

Christina was sent to her own apartment by a driver from the Hopkins Family.

"Can you stop here? I'll go into the compound myself..."

Christina suddenly spoke to the driver.

She knew that a Hopkins Family's luxurious car would definitely provoke gossip from the neighbors.She didn't like the glare of publicity.

"Yes, Young Madam.I'll wait for you here.Please be careful."

The driver agreed and reminded her to be careful.

After all, she was pregnant with a child of the Hopkins Family.

If anything happened to her, no one could afford the consequence.

Christina nodded at him, opened the door, and walked out.

The five-story old apartment building didn't have an elevator, and even the streetlights didn't work.

Because it was in the old district and far from the city center, the rent was relatively low.

She finally reached the fifth floor and took out the key to open the door, only to see that the door had been opened.

Christina was happy.

She thought her aunt probably had come back from the sanatorium.

"Auntie, are you back?"

She pushed the door open and walked in quickly.

However, as soon as she entered, she saw a man standing in the small living room...

Christina looked at the man and put on a long face.

"Cory, why are you here?"

Christina’s voice was full of disgust.

Cory looked at her but did not speak immediately.

Instead, he looked at her with a strange look.

He didn't know that Christina and her aunt were living in such a small and dilapidated apartment, which was worse than the servant's room at his place.

During the three years that Christina married him, she never asked for money from him.

Suddenly, Cory felt that he had never really taken her seriously.

In fact, Christina was 1.68 meters tall and was as exquisite as a famous model.

Her face was white and delicate, and she was more beautiful than Carrie.

"Cory, you are not welcome here!"

Christina felt disgusted when he looked at her, and she said in a cold voice, "Give me the key!"

She knew that this key was given to him by her aunt.

"Christina, when your aunt gave me the key, she asked me to take good care of you..."

Cory looked at her with more affections.

"Cory, don't pretend that you care about me.’’ Christina didn't want to see him, so she rebuked him.

"Get out.This place is too shabby for you, Mr.Hampton.’’ Cory felt guilty when she scolded him.

All these years, he was used to her obedience.
