My billionaire husband spoils me too much
Chapter 175

"You really love your wife."

"Yes, so Brianna, you must be careful not to offend her. otherwise, I will be angry.”

After lunch, they felt lazy on the weekend afternoon. They went to the garden of the Hopkinses fora walk. Christina took the bait to play with the fish in the pond excitedly and happily. She saw thatthe two women in the pavilion were talking very intimately.

She didn't know what Barbara and Brianna were talking about. She only felt that Brianna's eyes werea little strange when she looked at her.

Christina had no impression of Brianna, only thought she was very introverted. At first, she wantedto build a good relationship with her, but others all said that she was peremptory and could scareBrianna.

Christina was very depressed. How could she scare her?

In the past, Derek was also very introverted. How did they become this kind of person?

Throwing the bait into the pool, a few fish leaped out of the water with full energy to grab food. Thepool splashed and rippled. Christina felt it interesting. Her eyes lit up, and then she threw the bait inanother corner wickedly.

She thought insidiously that it was really good to see others working hard.

Christina was very childish. She narrowed her eyes, stretched out her fair neck, and looked at thepool. She amused the fish with a smile, like a traitor.

"She can play all day by herself."

She heard the familiar but deep voice behind her. Christina was stunned for a moment and turnedaround. She saw Patrick walking towards her. Perhaps because of the afternoon sun or the faintsmile on Patrick's face, she blushed

This glance made her heart beat faster.

Christina approached him unconsciously. But the pool didn't have barriers, and there were smoothpebbles all around her feet. She slipped and felt a little unstable.

The figure in front of her was startled and immediately ran to her. Christina was not a delicate girl.She stood up straight, waved her hand, and said, "It's okay, it's okay."

"Be careful.” Patrick stood in front of her with his face darkened.

Patrick taught her lessons in a strange way, such as asking her to walk carefully and eat carefully. Itseemed that he needed to keep an eye on her all the time.

"Patrick, I am not messing around all day. I think I'm useful to some extent.”

How could she say she was useful? Patrick thought.

Patrick was angry. He held her and looked down at her red face, trying to teach her a lesson. But hecouldn't help laughing.

"Don't get too close to the pool.”

Christina was a little guiltily, nodded honestly, and said, "Okay."

Charles walked slowly behind them. His eyes were full of gossip with an ambiguous meaning. Hethought that the unscrupulous couple was also lovely.

Old Master Mr. Hopkins was walking past the corridor at the same time. He turned to look at them.Who's staring at her? Christina thought.

Not sure if she was being paranoid, Christina instinctively became vigilant. She was serious andnarrowed her eyes to look around.

"What are you looking at?"

"No, nothing..." Facing Patrick's question, she couldn't say the reason.

She just felt like there was a pair of eyes staring at her recently.

Patrick saw her pondering something and wanted to ask more questions, but at this moment, hisphone suddenly rang. It was the vice president of the group calling. It must be something urgent.He let her go, turned around, and took two steps before answering the phone. He said, "What's thematter?"

Patrick had subconsciously kept her out of the group's affairs and all the complicated matters. Hehad said that she was not his subordinate and did not need to know.

The older people were, the more they knew, so they had so many troubles.

He said he didn't want her to know these things. He was strong and dictatorial. This was Patrick'sspecial way to protect her.

Christina looked at his handsome appearance and was a little worried.

She stood quietly by the side and did not disturb him. She could not understand what Patrick wastalking to the other side but could know he seemed a little annoyed due to his cold tone.

Who pissed him off?

Charles was standing not far away to watch the gossip and Barbara was in the pavilion before. Butthey seemed to have received some news and hurried towards Patrick.

"What's wrong?" Charles frowned and asked.

"Larry rejected the investment of the IP&G Group.”

Barbara was surprised and sarcastic. It was unbelievable to refuse the investment of the IP&GGroup. Didn't they want money? Or did they have ulterior motives?

"Larry must be mad." Charles could not help but said sneeringly.

Several of Larry's new projects in the past six months had achieved amazing results. Last week, heofficially announced a new project about new energy. As they all knew, projects of new energy werenot easy to make profits as the investment was slow to return. But Larry is in the limelight, andeveryone secretly asked about Larry's plan. The answer was he had put all his money into thisproject, so people from all walks of life were curious and wanted to invest in the project.

But he turned down the investment of the biggest IP&G Group. No one knew why he did thisExecutive Barbara was a competent officer. She quickly felt that something was wrong. She said,"Last time, Patrick asked us to look into all projects that Larry invested in, especially the partnerswho had worked with Larry..."

Then she paused and looked straight at Charles. She said, "Charles, to be honest, is there anypersonal conflict between Patrick and Larry?"

"I could replace nothing."

Charles darkened his face and was irritable. Last time, Patrick was furious in the office and asked hismen to replace everything about Larry. However, nothing was found. Everything about Larry wasnormal.

Even though Charles didn't say anything, Barbara could feel something was wrong. She said, "Larryobviously didn't want Patrick to join in his new project. There must be a dirty trick.”

While they were talking, Patrick had already hung up.

Charles and Barbara looked at each other and hesitated to say something. In fact, Patrick knew moreabout these affairs.

"You looked around just now. Did you replace anything wrong?"

Patrick put away his cell phone as if the business had been dealt with. He turned to look at Christinaand asked about other things plainly.

Christina was a little confused by his question. Then, she answered, "Nothing."

"Ask the housekeepers for help if you need anything,” Patrick said, not paying much attention to herwords. His eyes softened when he looked at her in a loose and comfortable maternity dress. Thebaby in her belly was theirs.

"I won't be home for dinner today. Go to bed early.”

He naturally put his arm around her shoulder and kissed her on the forehead, whispering in a lowvoice.

"Okay." When Christina came back to her senses and heard his words, her face was blushed and hot.Patrick was not an affectionate man and would not always sweet talk to her. After he said that, hesimply strode towards the door of the Hopkinses.

The bodyguards quickly went to the garage to pick up the car. Charles and Barbara followed themin a hurry. Christina frowned when she saw they were hurried. She asked, "What had happened?”What had happened?

Everything seemed to be a coincidence.

Just as Patrick left the Hopkinses, Christina stood by the pool and thought about something.Suddenly, there was a hand to push her.

She had no idea what was going on. She just leaned forward and fell into the pool.
