My billionaire husband spoils me too much -
Chapter 463
The taxi pulled over. Christina and Crystal got out of the car and walked towards the most bustlingbusiness street in the east of the city.
Crystal chose a man’s suit and walked to the cashier, she threw her credit card on the table, ignoringits price and discount. Christina looked at her in astonishment.
She was shocked by Crystal's change after marriage.
Before getting married, Crystal liked to use coupons. She used to say that bargaining was thepleasure of shopping.
"Crystal, you paid by your card.” Christina felt it was necessary to remind her.
Crystal answered calmly, "I know."
After a few seconds, she spent more than 5,000 dollars on a tie.
Seeing that Crystal squandered her money like this, Christina sighed, "If my memory serves me right,you said that it was your retirement savings.”
It was not a big deal for someone who was born rich, but it was hard for Crystal to get rid of herhabit of frugality. Christina didn't expect Crystal became a squander now.
The waitress in the shop packed what Crystal had bought and handed them to Crystal with a smile.Generous customers were popular in such shops. The waitress also provided her with a platinum VIPcard, saying, "Mrs. Zhu, you have good taste. Our brand clothes are made by foreign designers. Ourfactory is in Holland, and all the branches around the globe have the same after-sale service. Pleasecall our hotline whenever you need. We will provide service at your home."
Crystal was a frequent visitor. She took the exquisite paper bags and said with a hearty smile, "Myhusband likes the designers very much. The size fits him well. If he gains some weight later, I willcome to buy some bespoke suits."
"Mrs. Zhu, you're a good wife. Your husband is so lucky.” The waitress flattered.
Crystal gave her a knowing smile and left.
After getting out of the men’s store, Crystal pulled Christina to an electric appliances store, "Therazor Chandler likes is rare in our country. I don't know if it's available here.”
Christina could do nothing but follow her. Crystal bought many things for Chandler. It seemed thatbuying gifts for others made her happier.
"Are you feeling okay to spend so much money?"
Christina remembered that she would be upset for several days every time she bought a pair ofexpensive shoes. After that, she used to tighten her belt and go on a diet. Otherwise, she wouldn'tforgive herself.
"I don't know. I think it's easy to buy things for others. I don't have to worry so much. I just want tobuy them.”
Crystal told her the truth and blushed, saying, "Chandler gives me some private money everymonth, and I don't spend half a cent on anything in the Stephenson family. I should buy somethingfor them.”
Christina could tell from Crystal's flushed cheeks that she loved Chandler very much.
Moreover, Crystal was remarkable for her sweet temper. She was stingy to herself but generous toothers. She was the one who believed that giving was better than receiving
She liked to give more to others. What a silly girl!
"I know you are nice to others. Please be kind to yourself.” Christina laughed at her, "You dote onChandler too much. What if he wants more in the future?”
"I'm not doting on him,” Crystal blushed.
"Every woman wants to buy as many things as she can for her man after they get married.”Christina looked at her in astonishment. "But I didn't buy anything for Patrick.” After thinking for along time, she couldn't remember what she had bought for him
Crystal was confused, "What? Are you serious?”
Christina answered, "Patrick didn't give me anything either. We have got everything at home. NannyFaang will take care of domestic affairs.”
Crystal felt that Patrick was not romantic. When Chandler was out on business, he often brought hersome gifts or wrote some letters.
"Patrick is too busy. He can't waste time on trivial things, but you can buy some clothes for him. Hewill be very happy.” Crystal patted her on the shoulder and gave her a meaningful smile.
Christina thought that it was a good idea.
"If I buy him many clothes, will Patrick agree that I don't have to go to parties with those rich ladies?I don't like it."
Christina was good at squandering money. Without hesitation, she swiped Patrick's secondary cardfor everything.
At the sight of this, Crystal reminded her, "Do you need to ask him about his likes before you buythem?" Christina had bought so many clothes that the waitress said that they would offer homedelivery.
With that said, Christina took some pictures of the suits and sent them to Patrick's WhatsApp, buthe didn't reply for a few minutes. It was typical of him. He didn't like to check his phone.
"Don't worry about that. Patrick will like them." With that said, Christina paid for them by card.
It was the weekend, so there were a lot of people on the street. Having been shopping for a longtime, they were tired at this moment. They decided to have a rest in the restaurant nearby. Just then,they caught sight of an acquaintance.
Christina shouted, "Is that Charles?” A man had walked into the bar. She felt it was a familiar figure."Let him take us to dinner."
She wouldn't be nice to Mr. Shepherd. Christina grabbed Crystal's arm and stepped into the barafter him.
They were not familiar with the layout of the bar, and it was dim inside. They couldn't replace Charlesfor a moment.
"Miss, do you want to drink or to look for someone?"
A bar staff asked. He knew what they were not frequent visitors. Their dresses and shopping bagstold him that they came here to look for someone, not drinking.
"Look for someone.” Christina looked around and asked, "Where is the man who came in a fewseconds ago? He has short dark brown hair. He wears a dark blue suit.”
"What? Are you looking for Mr. Shepherd?" The young waiter was shocked. After hesitating for awhile, he continued, "Mr. Shepherd is busy now. Please wait for a moment. I'll tell him."
"Miss, your belongings can be kept here.” Hearing that they came here for Mr. Shepherd, anotherwaiter walked over to greet them.
In the shopping bag was a red woolen sweater. It was the same color as Santa Claus. She felt that itwould be very funny if Patrick wore it. It was her way to tease him. All the other clothes would besent to the Hopkins family by the store.
"Thank you. But I'll take this one myself.” She didn't want to stay here too long.
The waiter looked at them with curiosity. After giving them two glasses of juice, the waiter returnedto his work.
Crystal leaned closer to Christina and whispered with a smile, "Perhaps they think we are Charles'sex-girlfriends who come to mess him up. I can tell from their eyes!”
Christina frowned. "Do you mean they want us to wait here for nothing? Waste our time?" She knewthe tricks Charles used to send his ex-girlfriends away. He just ignored them.
They guessed right. After twenty minutes, Charles didn't show up.
After losing her patience, Christina walked around angrily, "When I replace Charles, he will be introuble!"
Crystal followed her and sniggered, "Mr. Shepherd would be in great trouble.”
Although the two girls had never been to this bar before, they guessed that Charles must havebooked the most expensive private room. That was why they headed to the VIP area.
At the end of the corridor, the door of the penultimate VIP room stood ajar.
A familiar voice came from inside. "I said to Senior Mr. Hopkins that she could do charity work. Itwas for her good." It was Charles.
Christina and Crystal quickened their steps. They planned to break in and scare him. To theirsurprise, Chandler was also in the private room, chatting with Charles.
"Did Patrick tell you to pester Christina so that she had no time to go out with Derek?" Chandlersaid mischievously.
Charles sighed, "Yes, he doesn't like it, but no one can persuade her. That was why he managed tolet her do the charity work."
A girl interrupted, "Why didn't Patrick tell her face to face?”
Charles gasped, "She has a bad temper. She will make a fuss.”
Chandler told the girl gently, "Patrick doesn't want her to know that he doesn't trust her. Yesterday,he asked me to install many hidden cameras in the Hopkins family. The lotus pond, Christina'sfavorite place, has the most.”
"Why?" The girl was curious.
"Something happened in the Hopkins family. It seemed that Christina hurt Ms. Hopkins."
There was a bang.
The door was kicked open. Christina clutched the shopping bag in her right hand and looked atthem with a clouded face.
The sound scared Charles and Chandler. They immediately looked at the door, only to see Christinaand Crystal. They were shocked this time.
Christina was too incensed to speak, gritting her teeth. Charles looked at her with a guilty look,"Christina, why are you here? Did Patrick ask you to come over?"
Christina glared at them in silence.
At the sight of Erica, Crystal, who was behind Christina, was speechlessly amazed.
Chandler took Erica out to drink and chat with Charles.
Crystal was in a state of mental confusion. There was a glass of foreign wine in front of Chandler,which was a high-proof liqueur. As usual, she stepped forward and said, "You have chronic stomachtrouble. I have told you not to drink.”
"We want to have fun. It's okay to have a tiny glass. Otherwise, it will ruin the enjoyment.” Ericaanswered before Chandler could say something.
Hearing her words, Crystal didn't know what to say. She had mixed feelings.
Was that the reason why Chandler didn't bring her out to meet his friends? Did he think she wouldruin the enjoyment and embarrass him?
Thinking of this, Crystal looked at Chandler with disappointment. Sitting next to Erica, Chandlerasked, "Why are you here?"
Crystal tried to control her anger, "Why can't we here?"
It was awkward right now.
To clear the air of tension, Charles walked forward with a smile. "Sit down. Did you go shopping justnow? What have you bought? Patrick will be here in a while. Are you hungry? I'll order somethingfor you.”
Before he could finish, there was the sound of feet from outside.
Christina looked gloomy. She turned around and was about to leave.
"Where are you going?”
Patrick came face to face with her, but she brushed past him with a straight face.
Christina was in temper, so she passed him with a sullen face. Patrick stretched out his arm to grabher wrist, only to tear the brown paper bag in her right hand. As a result, he saw the woolen sweatershe had bought for him.
The bright red sweater was eye-catching.
"What are you looking at? I bought it for Derek!" Christina shouted angrily. She immediately pulledit back and held it in her arms. It seemed that she didn't want Patrick to touch it.
Patrick frowned at her.
On hearing her words, Charles, Chandler, and Erica came out. Seeing that Christina and Patrick werequarreling, they remained silent. No one dared to make a sound.
