My billionaire husband spoils me too much
Chapter 31

Chapter 31

After breakfast, Christina went back to her bedroom and held her cell phone to browse the gossipsabout the hickey of Cecilia.

“Patrick must have had a crazy night with her last night.” As Christina browsed Twitter, shecomplained with a complicated expression on her face.

Even she didn't know why she cared so

much...

It was as if she was jealous.

Jealous? Christina was shocked at the

thought

"How can I be jealous? Patrick had made it clear to me that it was just a

deal...”

Just as she was thinking, suddenly, her phone vibrated and she received a message to add friendson her WhatsApp

“Who is this?"

Christina frowned and looked at the

screen of her cell phone. A user nicknamed “Brother Charlie” had just sent a request to add her tohis friends.

What Brother Charlie or Brother Sweet? He was such a narcissist.

Christina was speechless and ignored

the request.

The other party might have thought that Christina would not pass his

request and immediately sent a temporary conversation, “I'm Charles.”

“Charles, your nickname sounds like a bitch's.”

Christina agreed to add him to her friends and she immediately teased

him.

Brother Charlie: “My nickname is better than yours. Tina? Christina, your nickname is dull

Invincible Tina: “Charles, this is why

you want to add me to your friends? Quarreling?”

Christina felt that there was nothing

wrong with his WhatsApp nickname. It

was simple and easy to remember. What was more important was that it

made one feel that she was daunting.

Looking at the nickname of Charles on WhatsApp, she suddenly remembered that Charles hadreminded her to stop being so self-sentimental as Patrick couldn't possibly like her. She was just asubstitute for Cecilia......

The more Christina thought about it, the more depressed she became.

Invincible Tina: “Charles, I'm busy. Don't look for me if you have nothing to do. Never look for me ifyou have anything to do.” She replied quickly and wanted to log out of WhatsApp.

Brother Charlie: “Wait, Christina, I'm looking for you for something serious!”

Christina hesitated to see what this

unreliable Mr. Shepherd would say.

Brother Charlie: “Patrick has been rather busy lately. He may not have time to accompany you. Well,you know that Cecilia is his true wife, so......"

Invincible Tina: “I told you, I know. Why are you so annoying? I don't like Patrick. I know I don't havethe right to think about that. I won't forcibly take this position.”

Christina roared angrily as if she had

been provoked. She sent him a voice

message.

Charles raised his eyebrows and could feel the fury of that woman through the phone screen.

This woman lived with Patrick all day

long, so how could she not have any mood swings... Jesus!

Brother Charlie: “Hey, Christina, don't be angry. I won't talk about that. Actually. Patrick has beenbusy recently, so he doesn't have time to

accompany you. He asked me to take some time to send you to visit your

aunt.”

Christina looked at the message

Charles had just sent and thought for a while. Patrick was busy staying with his Miss Jones andprobably wouldn't

accompany her anymore. She was editing the message and was about to reply and agree to go outtogether.

At this moment, the maid knocked on the door.

“Ma’am, the Old Master wants you to go to the main hall of the mansa People from the DickensFamily are here.”

Christina looked up at the door. Her movements stopped abruptly when she heard the people fromthe Dickens Family had come

People from the Dickens Family...

The phone vibrated again and Charles sent her a message. “By the way. Christina, did Patrick goback to the Hopkins Family last night?”

Christina ignored him, tidied up her

clothes, and went downstairs with a

serious expression.

To Christina's surprise, when she went

to the Main Residence of the Hopkins Family, she saw that Patrick came ba

Not only did Patrick come back, but also those people behind him. Those people were from theDickens Family:

"What are you doing here?”

Patrick walked past her. He naturally wrapped his right arm around her waist and led her into theHopkins Family hall.

Christina was a little stunned. She

looked at Patrick beside her and

turned to look at Donald behind her. How could they happen to be together...

“It's an honor for us that Patrick personally picks us up at the airport.”

The beautiful woman standing next to Donald was her stepmother, Connie.

Patrick went to the airport early in the morning to pick up the people from the Dickens Family?Didn't he hang out with Cecilia last night? He must have been ordered by Mr. Hopkins as he cameback so early.

The hall of the Hopkins Family was spacious and luxurious with the eight meter luxury crystalchandelier sparkling above.

Christina sat next to Patrick, and

opposite her were Donald and Connie.

Mr. Hopkins sat on the seat of honor. Everyone did greetings politely, while Christina's expressionwas complicated and she was silent.

“Since the two of them have already got their certificates, we are in-laws. There's no need to be toopolite” Mr. Hopkins spoke with authority.

“As for the wedding, we'll wait until Christina gives birth to the baby.”

Donald's face did not show any joy. He said with a calm face, “Mr. Hopkins, I

have always respected you Hopkins Family very much, but in this matter, I

don't think my daughter is worthy of Mr. Hopkins. I don't agree.

Christina

listened

to

her

father

scolding her. She lowered her head and

endured.

Donald continued to speak slowly. “And I heard that she and Mr. Hopkins

have no feelings for each other. It's just an aocidental pregnancy. They do.... have to get married.”“You are worried that Christina will be wronged after marrying into Hopkins Family. You are afraidthat 1 and Hopkins Family will abuse her!” Mr. Hopkins seemed unhappy and asked in a cold voice.“Mr. Hopkins, we don't mean that. Please don’t misunderstand.” Connie quickly smiled and flatteredas she

explained.

Just as Connie's words fell, two men Strode in the hall.

“Dad, it's so busy today. Who pays you

a New Year call?"

Laurie smiled demurely and walked in with bags of tonics, and Cory S walking in next to her.Donald looked up and happened to see Cory. Both of them had mixed expressions of surprise andcomplexity. Cory had gone to the Dickens Family as Carrie's boyfriend, and now...

Donald turned his head and looked at Mr. Hopkins with complicated expressions in his eyes.

“My daughter has married someone before, and I'm afraid she doesn't deserve Mr. Hopkins. Andher ex husband happens to be the Young Master of Hopkins Family. That's ridiculous. She will bringshame to Hopkins Family

Donald was unusually insistent as if he was very resistant to being the in-! of the Hopkins FamilyMr. Hopkins's expression became sullen. He shouted coldly, “Who dares ridicule Hopkins Family -”The whole hall went quiet and the people present did not dare to speak Even Donald looked a littleembarrassed. He knew he could not offend the old man.

The atmosphere was suddenly solemn

and strange.

Laurie's eyes were filled with ambiguous emotions. She found out

that the Dickens Family would be here today, so she specifically asked her son to come to HopkinsFamily with her

because she also strongly disagreed with Patrick and Christina's marriage

“Serve the dishes” Patrick suddenly ordered the butler beside him

His words ended the serious silence.

The rest of them didn't dare to talk nonsense. Mr. Hopkins glanced at Patrick as he pulled a longface. Mr. Hopkins took the lead in walking towards the restaurant with the help of his walking stick.The servants in Hopkins Family served the dishes in an orderly manner. It was

obvious that Mr. Hopkins had already

asked people to prepare a variety of dishes for the Dickens Family today. Originally, the Mr. Hopkinsthought it was a happy thing to meet with the

Dickens Family, but he did not expect that the Dickens Family woul. not agree to the marriage.Everyone sat straight and ate, the atmosphere was a little serious. Occasionally. Laurie smiled andsaid a few words about the company, and Connie also smiled and talked about the trivial matters ofthe Dickens Family

Cory, as a junior, did not dare to say anything. He ate in a well-mannered way, but his eyes alwaysfell on

Christina from time to time.

Christina was not hungry, but she felt

awkward as she was being stared at by

Cory.

She lowered her head. It looked like

that she lost her head. She could not

emain relaxed when people from the Dickens Family were present.

“Christina, are you feeling sick as you're pregnant?” Connie pretended to care about Christina asalways.

Christina glanced at her stepmother opposite her, her eyes filled with anger. Pretending! Thiswoman was indeed an actress. She really knew how to act!

“Not feeling well?”

Patrick immediately thought of the morning sickness reaction and stared

at her thoughtfully.

“No. I didn't.”

Patrick's cold face made her even more

upset.

Christina picked up a large shrimp on the table, peeled its shell in boredom, and naturally raised herhead to send it to the lips of Patrick. “Do you want to

eat it?”

Patrick's eyes widened as he looked at the shrimp in front of him...

“Hey, you..."

The next second, however, Christina's ears turned red.

Patrick lowered his head and ate

Christina's shrimp as if it was a matter of course, but..

"Don’t keep my finger in your mouth Christina lowered her voice and

complained coquettishly.

There was warmth coming around her fingers. So many people were looking at her, and she was soshy that she wanted to dig a hole and jump into it.

“Mmm.” On the other hand, Patrick said calmly. It was as if he was accustomed to the smallambiguous interactions between the two of them.

Why was this man so thick-skinned?

Christina was so angry that her face turned red and she quickly withdrew her hand,

When she looked up, she saw that Laurie. Donald and the others looked at her thoughtfully. She feltextremely complicated and said softly to the Old

Master, I'm full. Help yourself.”

She quickly left the dining table and walked towards the back garden of the Hopkins Family

When she left, she vaguely heard Mr. Hopkins's aged voice, “Don’t worry so much about youngpeople.”

Christina dipped her hand in the white porcelain stone pillar basin and rubbed her fingers. Patrick'sbehavior was really strange just now.

She walked alone to the pavilion in the

back garden of the Hopkins Family and looked around at the precious flowers. Her thoughts were alittle messy.

Did he and Cecilia last night... She suddenly cared about that much.

Donald and Cory were in the IL. Christina didn't want to see them at all. Instead, she sat on a stonechair in the pavilion and took out her phone to browse some entertainment news to see if she couldreplace Patrick's whereabouts last night...

“What are you looking at?”

Suddenly, a familiar low voice came from above. Christina raised her head in shock and saw Patrick'sdeep eyes.

While Patrick clearly saw that she was searching for Cecilia's latest hickey scandal.

He asked out of no reason, “Jealous?”

Patrick's voice was faint. It was as if he

asked casually, but his right hand was slightly clenched.

“No!”

Christina did not know why, but she just immediately raised her voice to

refute

“I, I was just thinking that you were with Miss Jones last night, and then you came back early in themorning

and had to go to the airport to pick up

my father and the others. It's really

troublesome.”

Patrick looked at her condescendingly. He gazed at her with sharp eyes

“I really don't care.” Christina wanted

to say.

But could she really didnt care about it

all even if he intentionally left hickey on Cecilia's body?
