My billionaire husband spoils me too much -
Chapter 126
They slept until 6 pm.
A maid knocking on the door woke them up.
"Yeah." Christina heard the voice and answered vaguely.
Nanny Faang had made dinner. Today Old Master Mr. Hopkins and the other would return home.They had to go to the Main Residence for dinner.
"Patrick, get up.”
She was surprised that he slept so soundly but he was in high spirits this morning.
She shook him, then noticed that his body temperature was high, and she immediately got upnervously. "Patrick, are you having a high fever?" She pressed her hand against his forehead, andher voice became irritable.
The man quickly opened his eyes. "I'm fine.”
His voice was a little hoarse.
He took her hand away, sat up, and tried to get out of bed.
"You seem to easily have a very high fever these days.” Christina crawled to him and wrapped herarms around his waist.
He might have just woken up, and his expression was a little stunned when she rested her handsaround his waist.
He turned to look at her worried expression suspiciously. He reached out his palm and patted heron the head. "You made me angry and that's why I have a fever now." He seemed to tease her onpurpose.
But Christina didn't replace it funny at all. Instead, she thought that he deliberately changed thesubject.
"Patrick, I'm telling you, you have to see a doctor to take medicine when you're sick. Don't letpeople tell you about the common sense of life all day. It was the same last time. You workedovertime when you had a high fever..."
He had gotten out of bed, tidied up his clothes, listening to the woman nagging.
He walked up to her and went out of the bedroom with her in his arms. "Christina, it's not easy foryou to finally learn to care about your husband.”
Christina was so angry that she wanted to kick him.
They got to the dining room of the Main Residence. Old Master Mr. Hopkins and Judy had satdown. Barbara was here. She looked up and smiled at them. On the other side, Brianna seemedtimid and sat straight.
There was not much emotion on Patrick's face. After they sat down, the housekeeper on the sideimmediately motioned for the maid to serve.
"Miss Parker, I'm so sorry.” When Nanny Faang served soup, the chronic disease of her right handrelapsed and her hand trembled, so the soup was spilled out.
"It's okay.” Barbara didn't care. Instead, she stood up and took the spoon from Nanny Faang’s hand."Let me do it. I'm not an outsider.” She smiled amiably.
"Grandpa, eat more." Barbara personally ladled a bowl of Ginseng Soup for the old man.
Old Master Mr. Hopkins grunted softly, looking worried, without appetite.
Judy, on the other hand, was obviously very friendly with Barbara. She was very happy to take theGinseng Soup from Barbara and casually asked, "As you are transferred back to A City to work, haveyou made arrangements for your house?"
"Barbara, you transferred back to A City from Seattle?" The old man suddenly looked up, as if hewas concerned about this matter.
The other maids came over to serve the soup. Barbara sat down calmly and began to eat. Looking atthe old man, she replied, "Yes, the work has been handed over. If there is no accident, I should havebeen developing my career at home."
Judy's smile grew brighter hearing this. "It's good to stay at home. After all, you had to look afterDerek in the first place.”
"Don't talk about business while eating.”
Old Master Mr. Hopkins suddenly interrupted their conversation in a deep voice.
Judy immediately dialed it down and ate peacefully, while Christina did not dare to say a word atthe table. Occasionally, she glanced at the man beside her. Patrick ate like he was working,expressionless.
"Barbara, do you have any plans after you are back?"
"Brianna like you so much. You can come to the Hopkinses to accompany her often. Otherwise,according to her temper, she might not be able to make friends."
After dinner, they went to the living room for tea and fruit. Judy talked with Barbara.
Christina was pregnant and she couldn't drink tea. When passing by, she heard the two womenlaughing and talking. She would have thought Patrick's elegant and beautiful mother was a kindperson if the woman hadn't always given her a cold shoulder.
"When did I offend her?" Christina had reflected more than once.
Like her, Patrick didn't like to stay in the living room. He went straight to the study.
"I don't even dare to ask now."
Invincible Tina said, "I don't want to argue with him.”
Christina walked out of the living room and did not want to stay in the bedroom. She ran to thebackyard of the garden and sat down. A full moon hung high above her head, which seemed like ahappy reunion. But for today's dinner, she felt embarrassed.
She didn't appreciate the flowers and the moon, so she took out her cell phone to kill time.
She happened to see Crystal sending her some new messages on WhatsApp, saying that a new bosswould come to the company tomorrow, and she was a little excited.
Pig Is Rising texted, "Christina, don't mess with Mark anymore. You didn't see that day. He was reallynervous. I heard later that they found you in the Clifton District, he was relieved.”
Thinking of yesterday, Crystal felt shocked.
Pig Is Rising said, "Christina, I'm speechless. You are kind to take the child home. How did you getlost by yourself? Fortunately, you are fine. Otherwise, I think your husband will turn the A Cityupside down.”
Christina looked at the screen of her phone, she looked gloomy with a surge of emotion surging inher heart.
She knew that he cared about her.
Pig Is Rising said, "The executive parachutes tomorrow is Barbara. Isn't she the imaginary rival you'retalking about?"
Invincible Tina replied, "I didn't say she was my rival. I just thought her relationship with Patrick wasweird."
Pig Is Rising said, "Christina, don't worry. Barbara is quite decent. When I was studying in the unitedstates, I had worked in the Seattle branch for half a year as an intern. Although I was not qualified todirectly contact Miss Parker, who had a good reputation in the company.”
Crystal thought about it and remembered another thing. "By the way, I heard that Barbara is verydevoted. Her boyfriend was seriously ill and has been unconscious in Seattle private hospital forseveral years. She goes to the hospital every day to take care of him, waiting for him to wake up.”"Barbara's boyfriend?"
After finished chatting with Crystal, Christina found that it was getting late, she got up and preparedto go back to his bedroom.
She clutched her phone in her right hand and frowned. "Charles never mentioned her boyfriend. I'vebeen at Seattle hospital for so long. Why haven't I heard of him?"
Patrick's study was next door to their bedroom. Christina heard some noise when she went to thestaircase.
The study door seemed to be opened impatiently. "I know you came back for Derek. I will definitelyreplace him." It was Patrick's voice, but it was too far for her to hear clearly.
Christina slowed down and stood at the corner of the stairs, looking furtively at the study.
"Patrick, what did grandpa say to you?"
"You're the one I'm worried about.”
