My billionaire husband spoils me too much
Chapter 439

The next day, Christina flew back to A City after she had lunch with the Dickens family.

Betty packed many things in Christina's bag as usual.

"Here are some tea biscuits for Senior Mr. Hopkins and this little bag contains pictures and videos ofyou in your childhood..."

"I don't need these pictures and videos. Just put them back in my room. Plus, there's nothing usefulin them."

Pictures in the two big albums recorded some memorable moments in Christina's childhood, suchas her first birthday party, her first day in kindergarten and at school, the first time she won a prize,and so on. The videos recorded those talent competitions she participated in at school, whichreminded her of the pain when she was forced to learn piano.

Betty chuckled and stuffed the bag into her hand. "Take it. Patrick asked me to make sure that youtook them back home. He probably wanted to see the embarrassing moments you had in yourchildhood.”

Christina looked up, sighing.

"Live a happy life with Patrick and don't lose your temper at him. I know you must be tired ofhandling all the relatives of the Hopkins family. Living with such a big family can never be easy, butas long as you and Patrick trust and respect each other, nothing will stand in your way."

Christina got into the taxi and waved her hand, comforting Betty, "I'm a mother now. I know what Ishould do. Don't worry."

Betty stood still, sighing at the car that was driving away.

Donald walked out slowly with a walking stick, who stared at the car and snorted, "Finally she isaware that she is a mother.”

Betty looked back at him and complained, "I'm tired of nagging and reminding her of all kinds ofthings every time she comes back. You know her personality. How is she supposed to handle theHopkins family... Your daughter is too unreliable.”

"Betty, you're the one who raised her up and educated her personally. Take the credit." Donald hadbeen more humorous recently.

Then the two of them looked at each other with a smile. It was natural for parents to worry abouttheir daughter.

When Christina arrived at the house of the Hopkins family, the living room was crowded. Senior Mr.Hopkins, Judy, and Brianna were all sitting there. Patrick was also back from work.

"Grandpa, these are the tea biscuits from my auntie..." Christina walked over with her package asusual.

After a glance at her, Senior Mr. Hopkins took over the present and then sniffed it carefully. "Smellsgood. Tell me your aunt I like it. Thanks a lot.”

The old man seemed to have forgotten that Christina had run away to her home in A City yesterday.He looked up and said to the butler, "We'll eat earlier today. Serve some soup first."

"I'll let the servants know." The butler nodded.

Judy suddenly spoke to them in anger, "Dad, she lied first. She asked for sick leave from thecompany and went to A City without telling anyone. Patrick was so worried that he rushed backfrom abroad..."

Judy had expected to see Christina being scolded. To her surprise, everyone seemed to haveforgotten about what Christina had done. As for Christina herself, she fawned on Senior Mr. Hopkinswith that cheap tea and then acted as nothing had happened. Why would she think the Hopkinsfamily could be bought off by those stupid things?

Senior Mr. Hopkins was too biased. Judy had never been treated so well as the daughter-in-law.Instead of scolding or punishing Christina, he told the servants to prepare for dinner now and servethe soup first. Did he think Christina was too tired after the flight and needed some water first?Judy couldn't wait any longer, so she put on an air and scolded her. "Kneel at the ancestral hall for aday if you dared to do this again!"

The ancestral hall of the Hopkins family was located in Western Garden. Christina was afraid ofghosts, so she never got close to Western Garden by herself. She would rather let someone beat herup than kneel down in the ancestral hall for a day.

Senior Mr. Hopkins said, "Your son is here. It's up to him how to deal with Christina this time. Mindyour own business."

Judy was not reconciled. "But, dad, it was her fault this time. Why can't I..."

"Are you really going to make a fuss?"

Seeing that Judy was stubborn, Senior Mr. Hopkins shouted with a stern face, "It's common thatyoung people make mistakes. She will learn her lessons. What are you going to do? Punishing her?Have you ever considered her as our family?"

The whole living room was in silence. Judy, who was still unreconciled, didn't dare to talk back atSenior Mr. Hopkins.

Judy had always been careful about what to say and do before the elders and only lost hercomposure today because Christina had really irritated her. She couldn't wait any longer to teachChristina a lesson in front of Senior Mr. Hopkins and Patrick.

"I will let you know if I leave C City again in the future,” Christina promised Senior Mr. Hopkins,trying to make the situation less awkward.

The old man snorted, "Again? You're already planning to leave again, huh?"

Scared by his words, Christina sat up straight.

The old man glanced at her angrily and then walked towards the kitchen with a cane. Patrick, whohad been silent for a long time, followed him up immediately. The rest of the crowd also followedthem, not daring to make any sound.

As usual, chatting while eating was considered rude at the dinner of the Hopkins family, especiallynonsense.

Christina couldn't help but remember how relaxed she had been when she was eating with theDickens family yesterday. Then she took a glance at Brianna expressionlessly.

She didn't want to provoke these relatives in the Hopkins family. After all, Brianna was Patrick'ssister, who was also doted on by Senior Mr. Hopkins.

Therefore, she couldn't accuse her of anything without solid evidence.

Christina couldn't help but feel antipathy against Brianna every time she thought of how Briannahad informed the Hopkins family of the sick leave Christina had yesterday.

"Christina, it's not like that."

Christina called Crystal back when she returned to her bedroom. When Christina mentioned howthe Hopkins family had discovered about her trip to C City, Crystal said guiltily, "It was me. I calledthe Hopkins family for you. Nanny Faang noticed that you weren't at the company, so she reportedit to Patrick..."

"Brianna has nothing to do with it. She's so introverted. How could you suspect her?"

Crystal's words reminded Christina of the innocent appearance of Brianna. Maybe she shouldn'thave imagined her so bad.

"Well, it's true that she doesn't look like those who will plot against me so viciously..." Christinamuttered to herself on the bed.

"It is her that has plotted against you!"

A soft and low voice came from nowhere, "It is Brianna!"

Christina was the only one in this spacious bedroom...

She tensed up and then lowered her head slowly. The voice was from her pocket...

"Ahhhhh!"

She screamed in fear. Hearing her shouts, Patrick rushed in immediately. Christina jumped into hisarms with a pale face and then wrapped her arms around his neck tightly. The ancient coin in herright hand had been thrown far away.

Startled, Christina pointed at the coin with trembling fingers. "Patrick, it, it can talk!"
