My billionaire husband spoils me too much
Chapter 460

After Christina didn't go to the company, she kept going to see Derek.

Patrick didn't say anything about it, but the servants in the Eastern Garden, especially Nanny Faang,who watched Patrick grow up, could clearly felt that their Young Master Hopkins's dissatisfactionhad been growing recently.

"Why do you keep calling Derek 'Eric'? It is really a strange nickname.” Charles, who haddisappeared for a long time, came to bother Christina again.

Christina was still very rude to him. "You're so idle. Why are you following me? I don't have time totalk to you." As she spoke, she went to the garage and prepared to drive to Derek's apartment."Christina, where are you going? I'll drive you there.”

"No need.” Christina immediately refused.

Charles came to Christina enthusiastically, but Christina was so cold to him, which make himextremely disappointed. Christina was spoiled by Patrick and always hectored. She was not polite atall.

If Patrick hadn't hinted at Charles to accompany Christina when he was drinking with him last night,Charles wouldn't have to waste his time on Christina.

Charles took advantage of his thick-skinned character and got directly into Christina's car. "Christina,you haven't told me why you called him 'Eric'?" Charles was particularly troubled by this problem.Christina sat in the driver's seat and glared at Charles, but Charles didn't want to get out of the carat all. He didn't even move his butt in the passenger seat. He was determined to follow Christinatoday.

Christina had no choice but to let him follow her.

"You both like to call each other these nicknames, don't you?"

"What nonsense!" Christina was a little annoyed.

Charles raised his eyebrows and said, "Isn't that right? Derek calls you “baby’, and even Patrick didn'tcall you that. You call Derek 'Eric'? What does that mean? Does his dick as hard as a pillar? (Ericsounds like pillar in some languages.)”

"Charles, if you say one more word, I'll throw you in the middle of the highway!" Christina roaredangrily.

Charles finally quieted down. He believed that Christina would really throw him onto the highway,and she even dared to take his cell phone away.

"I see. What I said just now was too harsh. I was just teasing you." Seeing that Christina was sofurious, Charles immediately admitted his mistake. “I haven't seen you these days, so I'm just jokingwith you.”

"You are so serious every time I mention Derek."

Charles was really a little unhappy and said sarcastically, "I heard that you thought Derek was sostupid that he wouldn't run away even if he was beaten up when he was a child. He stood and wasbeaten like a pillar, right? You have a deep relationship, and a stranger like me can only stand asideand think over what I should say.”

Charles was a little jealous. The Shepherd family didn't have any daughters, and Charles liked to playwith Christina very much. After all, Charles had gone through a lot together with Christina. WhenDerek appeared, Charles had no status in Christina's heart.

Even Charles was so jealous, it was conceivable that Patrick must have suffered internal injuries.Christina drove straight to Derek's apartment.

Charles followed her out of the car, but he hesitated whether to go in. "Why does Derek stay in thehouse all day?" Charles thought that Derek was too decadent.

Christina took a few bags of daily necessities from the trunk of the car and said faintly, "He's sick.”"What's wrong with Derek? He hasn't recovered from his injury last time?"

Charles only asked casually, but Christina darkened her face and murmured, "He will be fine."Seeing Christina's serious expression, Charles felt that Derek seemed to be seriously ill.

Christina had the key to Derek's apartment. Charles stood by and watched her open the doorskillfully like the hostess. Then she put the daily necessities in the cupboard.

"Christina, does Patrick mind it?" Charles couldn't help but ask.

Christina continued to stand on tiptoe to sort out the cans and instant noodles she had bought inthe cupboard. She threw away the expired food and said, "Charles, keep your voice down. Derek issleeping now."

Charles said angrily, "Christina, you really shouldn't come to see Derek every day. It's notappropriate.”

"I just came here last week, and I haven't been here for 10 days, but you said I came to see himevery day. You can spread these rumors as you want!" Christina didn't even look at Charles."Christina, I'm telling you this for your own good. Patrick loves you very much, and he's willing to letyou do whatever you want, but men care more about extramarital affairs than women. You andDerek don't have any affairs now, but if you meet too frequently...”

Christina was so angry that she slammed the cupboard.

"What if! Did I complain anything about Patrick's affairs with Barbara and the other femalesecretaries? You guys think women are your accessories, don't you? Did I marry into the Hopkinsfamily to wait for the sunrise and sunset, and look forward for his coming to see me when he isfree? I'm not happy at all in the Hopkins family. I had to obey the rules all day. Now he even doubtsme when I come out to see a friend. Does he ever thinks about my feelings?"

Charles was shocked. He had never expected that Christina would be so irritated.

She said that she was unhappy in the Hopkins family.

A thin figure slowly came out of the living room of the apartment. Derek was woken up by the noiseof their quarrel. He was wearing a light blue nightgown and looked at Christina.

"Baby." He called Christina in a hoarse voice.

Christina turned to look at him and immediately walked over, saying softly, "I've told you not towear this kind of strapped nightgown. You will catch a cold and have a fever. You have to wear thosenightgowns with high collar and buttons.”

Derek's nightgown was a little loose, and his upper chest was exposed. Christina naturally reachedout to tug at it for him. Derek just stood there and let her do that.

"What's your temperature now?" Christina put her hand on his forehead.

Derek said frankly, "I don't know."

Christina was a little angry. "Go to get the thermometer. It's by your bedside. It was 38 degreesyesterday before I left.”

"Okay." Derek turned round and went to his bedroom to look for the thermometer.

Charles was very surprised to see this scene. Derek was like an obedient baby.

Derek was an outstanding and stunning man with fair skin, deep blue eyes, and a slender figure.Even Mrs. Shepherd praised Derek several times for his handsome appearance.

Now Derek even spoke in a such gentle voice. Charles watched Christina rummage the medicinebox under the coffee table. With such a close friend staying beside her, Christina probably wouldnever fall in love with any man at first sight in her life.

Suddenly, Charles understood why Christina was not interested in other men.

She had been facing such a handsome man since she was a child, and Derek was very obedient toher, so other men could never arouse her interests.

Charles realized something. "No wonder even Patrick is not confident.”

Though Christina and Derek did not do anything ambiguous, there seemed to be an invisible wallseparating them from the outside world. They had a tacit understanding, and no one could interferewith their deep feelings.

With Patrick's character of controlling the overall situation and absolute possessiveness, Derek'sexistence was like an untouchable string to Patrick. If Derek accidentally crossed the line andtouched it, Patrick won't tolerate it.

"Derek's temperature is only 38 degrees. You really don't have to come to see him every day.” Onthe way back, Charles kept saying this

"He has more than a low fever." Christina was driving and didn't want to say anything more.
