My billionaire husband spoils me too much
Chapter 172

After returning from the party organized by the Fishers, everything seemed to return to peace.

As usual, Patrick was busy with the group's affairs. And as usual, Christina also went to do prenatalcheckups, and listened to nutritionists’ various parenting tips.

As the days went by, the baby twins in Christina's womb grew and became very heavy, making herlook plumper and lazier. She was not willing to move except daily walking in the Hopkinses.Christina was eager to deliver the babies as soon as possible. It was not easy for her to bear thetwins.

"Ouch, waist. Where's my waist? I'm almost a waistless woman."

Christina gained so much weight that she didn't want to face herself anymore.

She felt bored just after breakfast. So she went to take a rest in the lotus pond pavilion inside theHopkinses, where she could call Crystal to kill some time.

But life was hard. Not everyone was as idle as Miss Dickens.

"If I could marry Patrick, I would gladly lose my breasts, let alone my waist. Christina, you aresponging off him. Can you please visit people outside and experience the sufferings of life? Do youwant to force me to revolt?"

Crystal had been very upset lately. She grabbed her cell phone and yelled at her best friend,regardless of what.

Damn it!

Crystal felt like she was about to get exploded. She then cursed, "Those who say money is notimportant are usually naive. Ah! Maybe they have a lack of calcium in their brain.”

"What's wrong with you?"

Christina licked a small piece of kiwi with a fork and put it into her mouth, trying to feed her twinsvitamins. Listening to Crystal's angry roar, she thought there was probably something unpleasanthappening to her again.

"I'm calling myself an idiot..."

Crystal soon lost her momentum of cursing and said in a sullen voice, "Why did I refuse that jobfrom W&A Company? Why did I pretend to be so noble? I recently found several jobs to comparewith it. I found that these capitalists were really squeezing people too hard. I have to work so hardat such a low salary, which couldn't even get me to pay the house mortgage.”

"There are many competitors applying for jobs in W&A Company, and the benefits offered aregood. Why did you reject it?" Christina had also heard of this company. It seemed to be a newcompany that had just opened a year ago, attracting many investments from large groups with itsbright prospect.

"Impulsiveness, it's all because of impulsiveness.” Crystal was getting more and more frustrated.

"A while ago, I happened to meet a lost boy at a coffee shop in F City. The little boy was in a badmood. Although I knew that he was a rich man's child, I didn't think too much. I followed him purelybecause I was afraid that something might happen to him."

"Not long after, his father came over," said Crystal, her face darkening and she was still angry.

"That man didn't say a word of thanks. He just gave me five thousand dollars and said that it wasthe several-hour care fee for his son. What does that mean? Did he take me as a scheming person..."It was true that some people were very cold, always used to using money to get rid of people, whichin fact, seriously hurt people's self-esteem.

"The worst part is, after I quit my job at IP&G Group, I was so excited to take the job interview inW&A Company, and it turned out that father was actually in charge of this company..."

Crystal's voice was lowered down. Why was she so unlucky these days?

"It's just because of such a coincidence that you refused a good job?"

Christina heard this and sensed something wrong. She thought it for a while and asked, “Crystal,why do you care so much about that child's father? Did you know him before?"

Christina was very clear that Crystal had a good nature, and there were too many people whobullied her in daily life. Crystal always said that peace was the most important thing, and she wouldnot take it seriously. Why did she get impulsive this time?

"Who is that man? What's his name? Should I ask Patrick to dig up his secret..."

Christina spoke with great interest, but Crystal could not help getting nervous when she heard this.Crystal said in a hurry, "Christina, don't get involved. The day before yesterday, Barbara called mepersonally and asked me about my job search. I can't afford this kind of care. I've been rejected bycompanies when looking for a job lately, and I think it's too wierd. Now I don't dare to get involvedin anything that you big shots have involved. Let me live. I'm just a humble person with nosignificance.”

"Barbara!"

Christina's face darkened when she heard the name.

After that, she asked Charles for some gossipy news. Charles said that the important client Barbaraand Crystal were entertaining that night happened to be Larry.

Larry, a fat man with a foul mouth, spoke bad words and liked to watch others suffer. But Christinaknew Larry's temperament, and she knew that Larry wasn't evil and terrible person. What Larry saidthat day was only directed at Barbara. In the end, Barbara took Crystal as a scapegoat and forcedher to resign voluntarily.

The more Christina thought about it, the angrier she got. It seemed that the fire of her anger wasstrong enough to burn her hair.

Crystal sensed that Christina was furious. But she didn't want to make a big deal out of it. Peace wasthe priority.

Crystal quickly changed the topic and said, "Christina, I forgot to tell you that I am blind datingrecently. I was thinking that no matter how well I did my job, it is still less successful than goodmarriage..."

Crystal told Christina a lot of strange things about her blind dates recently. Christina listened calmlywithout any emotion and did not say anything. But Christina herself knew very well that she was notthe right one to interfere in her business, even if she knew these things.

After hanging up the phone, Christina had been thinking while sitting in the pavilion for a while.

A maid came up behind her, reminding her to keep warm and not catch a cold. Christina saw thewithered lotus leaves in the lotus pond and realized that it was already autumn.

It had been nearly two months since returning from the party of Fisher Family. Christina suddenlyremembered something. She quickly touched the screen of her phone, opened WhatsApp, andfound an account nicknamed Sleeping Beauty.

"Eric, are you back? What are you doing now?" she typed this in her WhatsApp, but after a momentof hesitation, she deleted this text.

She knew that Derek used this account. She knew that if she sent him a message, he woulddefinitely see it.

But he wouldn't answer her back.

Being pregnant with a big belly, she slowly stood up from the stone chair, holding the phone andslightly tightening her strength.

She wanted to see him, wanted to ask him a lot of questions. She had sent him a lot of messages,but Derek did not reply.

Maybe he was still angry about what happened back then.

Or perhaps, Derek knew that even if they met, they would be embarrassed

Especially now that she had a big belly. Christina looked at the huge lotus pond and said to herself,"Actually, I don't like such a big place...”

"Don't like it?"

In the grand and spacious penthouse office of the IP&G Group, several elite men in suits loweredtheir heads nervously, not daring to breathe, while the man sitting in the office chair looked grim.Patrick took a document and threw it back to the table angrily.

"So what if you don't like it..." He didn't need to care about the feelings of an outsider.

"Go do the stats now and go through all the projects that Larry has been involved in for the past sixmonths, including the list of partners..."

"Investigate him for me..."
