My billionaire husband spoils me too much -
Chapter 22
Chapter 22
Christina sat alone on the plank of the small inner room of the cave dwelling, looking down at herflat abdomen with a sullen expression. Thinking of Patrick's words, she pulled a long face,“Christina, don't be angry with your husband” Anna walked in slowly and kindly advised.
Christina immediately retorted, “He's not my husband!”
Husband! She was unable to stand hearing that Patrick was her husband.
Anna said with a smile, “It happens that couples have conflicts. Sometimes men are dull and notgood at expressing themselves. Communication solves
misunderstandings.”
Christina remained silent.
'Did Charles just say that the person who took her away was not sent by
Patrick?
Is it true? But he was so mean to me in the hospital before. She thought to herself.
“Drink while it's hot. Don't starve the baby in your belly.” Anna handed her a large porcelain bowl ofblack bean stewed eel.
Christina looked up at the soup with hesitation.
“Your husband cooked this for you himself. Come on, drink it quickly.”
Anna Smiled kindly and urged. Thinking of Patrick, she couldn't help but exclaim. “Your husband isreally handsome. He has such a good temperament, way better than my husband”
Anna, who was not well-educated, could only describe Patrick as handsome.
Christina's face immediately darkened and she said angrily, “When he’s angry.
he yells me” Anna was blinded by
Patrick's appearance
The more she thought about it, the
angrier she became. She glared at the big bowl of black beaneel soup in front of her grumpily.Why should I starve myself?” I thought.
Christina took the bowl in Anna’s hand with a straight face and stuffed it into her mouth with aspoon, cursing Patrick in her heart.
“Your wife is really.. sassy.” Charles could not help but sigh outside the drapery of the door.Originally, he was worried that little Christina would refuse to eat, but he Was surprised to see thatshe was wolfing down the soup, treating it as her enery.
Patrick didn't say anything, and there was a faint smile in his eyes.
Christina quickly finished the big bowl of soup and was in a particularly happy
mood. She smiled brightly at Anna, “Thank you.”
She beamed a smile, with two shallow dimples on her fair cheeks. Patrick looked at her and lost hismind for a
moment.
heard
"Who's outside?” Anna something and called out.
Charles, who was caught red-handed. pursed his lips awkwardly. “Well.
Patrick was worried.” As soon as he spoke, he turned around and saw Patrick was out of sight, onlyto realize that he had left
Christina snorted at Charles outside the door, “Standing outside eavesdropping on women, Charles,You bastard.”
Charles looked depressed and wanted to teach her a lesson!
But... Christina, the witch, domineered over them relying on Patrick
There was only a wooden bed in the cave, which was originally where Mr. and Anna slept. They gaveup the bed to Christina to rest, but she refused,
“Christina, aren't you thick-skinned? Why do you want to sleep on hay with us tonight? Charlesteased her coldly.
Christina shot an angry glance at him, ignored him, and went to the corner to sit on a haystack andtake a nap.
It was already 12 o'clock. Patrick and
the others had burned three fires in
the empty hall of the cave. They sat cross-legged near the fire and their wet clothes had been dried.But the wind was howling outside the door, accompanied by heavy rain. This horrible and strangevoice had been ranging all night making them sleepless.
Huddled, Christina leaned back against the wall, holding hers knees.
She was very sleepy. She bent over and buried her head between her knees. She soon fell asleepwith her mind in a
fog
Unable to fall asleep. Charles and others were talking
All of a sudden, Patrick gave them a
look, then they noticed that Christina was asleep and immediately shut up.
One of themelbowed Charles in shock and asked incoherently. “Did Mr.
Hopkins get struck by lightning?”
Charles looked at Patrick with a twisted expression
Mr. Shepherd reminded them seriously, “Don't offend that witch.
Patrick stood up and approached Christina. He sat beside her by the hay and gazed down at her.Christina leaned against the wall with her head rested on her knees. She
tilted her head, her face pale and
haggard, and a few loose strands of hair hanging from her forehead.
Patrick reached out and smoothed a few strands of her messy hair on her
forehead, and he did not notice that he
was extremely gentle
He touched her face with his big hand.
Feeling it was cold, he put his coat on her and looked at her in a daze.
She looked very sweet and quiet when
she fell asleep.
But she was a tough women when she woke up.
Suddenly, there was a loud bang.
The shabby and thick wooden door in front of them was opened by the strong wind because it wasnot locked,
The three small fires were instantly extinguished by the strong wind and rain, and the gas and oillamp above the hall was blown down and smashed.
In an instant, the cave was pitch black
Christina shuddered at the sudden loud noise
“Don’t move.” Adecp voice sounded in
her ear.
The warm masculine scent brushed her checks, making her skin itchy.
Christina was even more flustered, “Why is he sitting next to me?” she wondered.
She pushed him away instinctively, but Patrick held her even tighter. “Don't
move. The oil lamp is broken, and debris is scattered all over the floor.” He added in a deep voice,and his tone somewhat helpless
Soon, Charles and the others locked
the door and found a lighter to light the previous fire. Only then did the cave
get light again
“Hehe “Charles Smirked.
The flames danced in the fire and reflected on the man and woman in the
Corner
Christina looked at these men with a curious look, her cheeks flushed, and she struggled, grittingher teeth and whispering, “Let go of me!” She was
embarrassed.
“Just ignore them.”
Inexplicably. Patrick hugged her and Suiddenly felt reluctant to let go. He looked down at herstubborn and clear cyes, and coaxed, “Close your eye and sleep. Don't make a fuss.
Christina was angry.
“Let go of me,” she resisted in a low voice, not daring to speak too loudly.
Bewildered, Patrick didn't know what to do for a moment. He really didn't know much aboutwomen.
After a moment of silence, he suddenly
reached out and stroked her head,
trying to calm her down.
Christina's face darkened
Charles and the others turned around sensibly. thinking that they would turn a dealear if Patrick didsomething rashi tonight.
It was a long night, and gradually everyone closed their eyes and fell asleep listening to the roaringwind
and rain outside the door.
But Christina couldn't sleep at all!
"Go away.” She still insisted on pushing away the man beside her.
But she could not break free from Patrick at all
The helplessness and grievance came in Christina's heart in waves. She did
not like to be affected. But on the rainy
might her eyes were wet with tears
She was too embarr.issed to wake anyone up and said angrily in a low voice, “Patrick. you come of avery good family and everyone obeys you, but what did I do wrong? Somehow I slept with you andgot pregnant, and I was taken to the civil affairs bureau like a prisoner to get your license. What doyou think lam..”
She choked, “Then you said you didn't want this child. I know I'm out of your league, but why didyou do this to me!”
She tried ter best to suppress her voice, but Patrick could hear it clearly. and he trembled.
He looked down at her, and the weak flame reflected on Christina's face,
which was holding backtears.
She wasn't affected. She tried her best to resist whenever she was unhappy
Patrick's cyes flashed with mixed emotions. He loosened his grip on her slightly...
Suddenly, something occurred on Christina and she nervously pulled him back. “1. i don’t want toabort this child!" Her voice trembled.
“Patrick, I dont want to abort this child. If you don't want the child, I can raise him myself. I can'tprovide the best environment, but I will do my best.”
She clasped his arm tightly and pleaded humbly, “I want to keep this
child. i beg you.” Tears welled up in hercyes
With deep eyes, Patrick bent down his head and impatiently kissed her trembling lips. In an instant,she bit back the words she would like to have Hidand froze
ot because he suddenly kissed her, but
because
“I'm sorry,” he said.
Patrick's voice was low and hoarse, as if it he made much effort to say these
words.
Christina's heart trembled in disbelief.
He tightened his grip and held her in his arms. They snuggled together, and
their breath intertwined. He lowered his head and whispered in her car, “Christina, I'm sorry”Patrick was not used to saying sorry to others. Since he grew up, no one could make him say that,but the last time he was in the hospital
He was unable explain why he cared so much. He was furious.
Christina seemed to be frightened by him and her mind was in turmoil.
She couldn't believe that he apologized
to her.
After that no one spoke again. He held
her tightly and did not let go. She could not get away from him. Each of them were in deep thought
