My billionaire husband spoils me too much
Chapter 182

"I don't know... I've been feeling a chill in my spine lately..."

"The people in the Hopkinses also arranged a psychiatrist for me. The psychiatrist said thatpregnancy hormones could make people paranoid and sensitive... The day before yesterday, I wasso annoyed that I started to complain to Patrick, but he didn't say anything to comfort me, and hestill laughed at me.” Christina was very dissatisfied.

She was resting at home for her pregnancy. After lunch, she stayed in her bedroom and calledCrystal to complain.

"Crystal, how's your work? Do you have time to visit Hopkins Family?" Christina was so idle that shesuspected that she was really suffering from delusions, "If you're not free, then I'll come to you.”Crystal held her cell phone and rolled her eyes, "Please don't go out. You are bearing twins, and ifyou get hurt by some bumping, I don't know how to tell your husband.”

"Does that mean I can't go out until delivering babies in October?" Christina suggested.

Did all pregnant women have no human rights now?

Crystal sympathized with her. "The main thing is that your husband is too scary."

"By the way, where's your Mr. Hopkins? He should be at home with you, right?"

Crystal had heard from her former colleagues at the IP&G Group that Patrick had handed over thecompany's main projects to the vice president. The secretary's office on the top floor was full ofexciting gossip, saying their president had "asked for maternity leave".

"He did say before that he would spend less time working and try to be with me..."

Christina muttered in a low voice. The people outside always said that Patrick was ruthless, butPatrick was really good to her. On second thought, she was a little resentful.

"He's not home right now. He's busy. He flew to America last night." And Christina knew thatBarbara had gone with him.

But she didn't know what they were busy doing in the United States.

"He seems to trust Barbara..."

"Are you still jealous of Barbara?"

"Not really..." Christina said in a sullen voice, "It's just that there's another woman who cares aboutmy husband, and I feel uncomfortable about this..."

Crystal suddenly yelled, "Christina!"

"Don't think too much. You must get panicked for being idle. You said you fell into the pool and sawa dark shadow at the door. Anyway, just live your idle life. Don't be so stupid as to fight with Patrickand let those mistresses outside take advantage of it. If you do not look for trouble, you will be ok!"Crystal had been busy looking for a job recently, and all kinds of unspoken rules in the workplacemade her tired and unable to resist. She had no choice but to endure it in order to live, so she reallyenvied Christina.

She said a lot of wise rules, but Christina on the other end of the phone suddenly became silent.Crystal was very depressed, "What are you thinking?"

"Oh, nothing.” Christina replied, beginning to reflect on her own role as a wife, who seemed to havenot fully fulfilled her duty. "I was thinking that I have not given Patrick any official gifts..."

"Do you want to buy a present for your wife?"

On a shopping street full of luxury goods in Seattle, the saleswomen were all well-trained. Theylooked at the man wearing an expensive suit in front of them. He had a platinum ring on his left ringfinger, which obviously showed that he was married.

In this bustling city, there were many men from the upper class who came here with beautiful girlsin their arms. These men spoke sweet words and bought expensive gifts to please these women,who also were very clear that these men pretended to be single and had no interest in wearingwedding rings. This man in front of them was rare.

"I've known you for so many years. How could I not know that you also fall for romance..."

This was a commercial street near the international airport. The flight was suddenly delayed becauseof the weather, so they had some more leisure time on their way back. Barbara thought he would bein the VIP waiting room as usual, and was surprised that he was interested in these women's jewelry."Sir, you can take a look at this necklace with a pendant of Polynesian black pearl. This necklace justarrived this morning. It matches your wife's temperament very well. It looks tender, generous, andnoble."

Patrick ignored the enthusiastic waiter and took a look at the black pearl pendant on the white fluffytray. The heart-shaped platinum outer ring was embedded with fine diamonds, and the black pearlwas inlaid in the center, which made it even more mysterious and noble.

He glanced around the ornaments on the glass counter.

It seemed that he was not so interested in women's decorations. Playing around with his platinumwedding ring, he seemed to be thinking which one he should buy.

"Patrick, what do you think of this black pearl pendant?”

Barbara asked him casually with a smile. Her smile grew brighter especially when she saw thewaitress in front of her.

The staff in the store naturally thought that she was his wife, but she wasn't. But at this moment, shedidn't want to deny it.

"Pearls don't suit her."

Patrick spoke very softly.

Pointing to the furthest left side of the glass cabinet, he said, "Please bring me DJ856021." This wasthe unique code of their jewelry shop.

The staff in the shop did not dare to neglect, so she pushed a special chair over and carefully tookdown the ruby necklace from the cabinet.

This necklace was a little special. It was not the most expensive one in the shop. A French word"chance", which meant lucky, was written with platinum in the necklace. The first letter of the wordwas capital, cleverly inlaid with a ruby.

This was not the same as the top international brands in their store. There was no second similarnecklace like this one, which was the only one designed by a master jeweler on a whim. Most loverslike to buy some accessories to express their love, while the word "chance" was somewhat different."You want to buy this necklace for Christina?"

Barbara looked a little complicated, and her low voice sounded flat. Then she said firmly, "Buy thelatest version over there."

The necklace was actually quite exquisite in workmanship and gemstone, but if it was somethinggiven by Patrick to a woman, he should choose some jewelry more expensive and dazzling.

"She's afraid of those weird things.”

Patrick directly asked the clerk to pack it up and said it surprisingly, which Barbara couldn'tunderstand.

Barbara was so smart but she was stunned for a while. In fact, the thing that Christina was afraid ofdarkness and ghosts was really not a secret.

Rubies seem to ward off evil spirits.

"Mr. Hopkins, when did you become so superstitious?"

Barbara smiled and teased him. She turned her head slightly and felt somehow bitter. People wouldreally change. She never thought he would too.

Patrick held the little delicate gift bag in his hand and said calmly.

"I'm not."

He never believed in these things that had no evidence to back off, nor did he believe incoincidences. He only believed in deliberate planning and calculating.

But if...

If one day he made a mistake and he was unable to protect her.

When a person was in endless despair, he would rather believe in ghosts and pray for having theluxury for some last hope. And he wanted her to have enough luck when she was helpless and shewould be safe.
