My billionaire husband spoils me too much
Chapter 465

In the afternoon, there was news from the company that they had found a host to replace Christinaand asked Christina to go to the company.

Out of selfish motives, Peter called her personally.

He wanted her to carefully consider whether she really wanted to resign. The Shepherd family likedher very much. He didn't want to see her become a freeloader, living a life of depending on otherswas too insipid and pallid.

After work, her former colleagues Crystal, Penny, and Rachel asked her out for a farewell dinner.Brianna was also one of Christina's colleagues and her sister-in-law. Therefore, Crystal politely askedBrianna if she wanted to join them. But Crystal didn't expect that Brianna would agree because shehad always been cold to them.

"Christina, you ask for leave many times and the manager gives you special privileges, I'm quitejealous of that. But right now, I don't want to see you leave the company.”

Penny suddenly became a little emotional and rushed up to give Christina a big bear hug.

Christina was flattered and didn't know what to say. She then replied politely, “Thank you."

"With your character, I guess you will be ostracized by your colleagues even if you change toanother job."

Penny was worried about her future, "I don't know how is your family's condition, but I think ifyou're going to replace another job, you should really read more books on how to socialize and pleasepeople. You're too ostentatious...”

Penny kindly gave Christina a lot of advice on socializing, "Keep a low profile, you must rememberthat."

Looking at them, Rachel smiled.

"Psychologically, people with outstanding appearance and strength will make the masses feel awed,just like the primitive people who ran for their lives when they met the strong in order to survive.And people instinctively thought that outstanding people were more aggressive. Under thepsychological effect of self-protection, they would subconsciously stay away from this kind ofperson. Ordinary people are more likely to be accepted by the group.”

"Christina, if conditions allow, why don't you just be yourself? Staying true to yourself is the mostimportant.”

Rachel's voice was gentle and comfortable.

"Society forces us to change. We become unrecognizable in our pursuit of life. It would be great ifthere is someone protecting us silently.” Rachel could guess that Christina must have married into aprominent family.

Hearing Rachel's words, Christina looked at her seriously, "Thank you."

Christina felt that Rachel was a woman of grace and gentleness.

Yet Rachel suddenly felt a little embarrassed when sensed Christina's serious gaze. She was a littletalkative today, and usually, she would rather be silent.

"I'm hungry." She then smiled awkwardly and changed the subject. She didn't like to beconspicuous.

Today, their farewell dinner was hotpot.

In a private room, they had to wait for a while before the waiter served the ingredients for the hotpot and lettuce for them. This restaurant was busy at this time.

While waiting, they all took out their phones.

Crystal and Penny were surfing the internet and looking through Whatsapp messages. Nowadays,people could not live without their phones. Yet, Christina and Brianna, who were sitting at the side,were not addicted to cell phones.

"Oh no, I miss it again. Is this coupon a lie?"

At this moment, Penny's colleagues sent her a link. They said that there was a promotion of dailynecessities. As long as they could get the coupons, they could bring home the products for free.Crystal and Penny had tried several times but failed due to the slow net speed.

"What are you doing?" Seeing how excited they were, Christina then leaned over curiously.

Many of the items listed in the promotion were daily necessities like women's sanitary napkins,towels, toothbrushes, and even pregnancy test kits.

Crystal glanced at her and suddenly had an idea, "Christina, lend us your phone.”

Christina's phone was definitely the top-of-the-range.

The coupons would be released every 15 minutes. At this tense moment, they had to be careful atthe time and refresh the page desperately.

"We did it!"

Even though they only got some cheap daily necessities, such a small victory was very satisfying.And they now smiled at each other.

Brianna had never attended such a party. In the past, when she attended various occasions with theHopkins family, she would sit quietly in the corner and wait for the time to pass. As for what otherswere talking about, she never cared.

This time, she had been quietly observing her sister-in-law, Christina, and the others.

Seeing their happy smiles, Christina also let out a smile.

However, she suddenly remembered and asked, "Where is the receiving address for these things? Isit my default address?"

"Oh no, I forgot to change the address just now.” Only then did Crystal realize that.

It was such a thrilling process that there was no time for them to change the address.

She then checked the address on the phone and found that Christina's default address was theMorning Hillside Villa of the Hopkins family. And she became shocked.

Wouldn't it be too shabby if they asked Christina to help collect the packages of such free andcheap things?

"Or, maybe I will just return them." Crystal didn't want to trouble Christina,

Yet Penny didn't understand and refused, "We've tried so hard to get a coupon. How can you cancelthe orders? I firmly object to your suggestion!"

It wasn't about money. These things represented good luck. How could she return them?

So she turned around and asked Christina, "You just need to collect the packages for us. It's easy.When you bring them to us, we can have a small gathering again!"

Christina didn't think it was troublesome for her and then said, "After I received the goods, I'll callyou.” Anyway, someone in the Hopkins family would receive the packages for her, and Nanny Faangwould personally deliver them to her in Eastern Garden.

Crystal then touched her nose and chimed in, "Well, Patrick won't open your packages, will he?" Shethen lowered her voice, "The things I just bought were female products..."

How embarrassing it would be if those things were seen by men, especially Patrick. Thinking of that,she blushed.

"It's okay.” Christina then patted her on the shoulder.

Yet Christina did not tell Crystal that now Patrick could help her replace sanitary napkins without feelingany embarrassments.

Soon, the dishes were served. The hotpot they ordered was half spicy and half-light. Penny insistedthat the hotter it was, the better it tasted. And her face turned red due to chillis. While chewing onthe spicy beef, she poured cold water into her mouth.

And Christina rushed to the freezer and took out a few large cans of beer, saying that she was goingto taste the spicy side as well.

But Crystal and Rachel couldn't stand the spicy food. They then dined with the light half of thehotpot. The soup was fresh and delicious, and all of them enjoyed the meal very much.

Brianna didn't say anything. The way she dined was elegant. With her head lowered, she ate slowly,making people hardly notice her.

"Don't be so bored. Have some beer."

"What are you afraid of? With Christina here, you..." Penny poured beers for Crystal and Rachel,forcing them to drink them up.

In Penny's opinion, Christina was a strong woman. If they were all drunk, Christina would still be fineand she could send them home. Therefore, Penny was very relaxed.

Looking at the glass of beer in front of her, Rachel hesitated.

"I have never drunk beer.” She looked at the cold beer and was curious about the liquid in the glass.She was obedient since she was little. And she followed the rules and all the arrangements of herfamily, even her marriage.

"My mother told me from a young age that women must not touch cigarettes, alcohol...”

Yet Christina interrupted her and said directly, "Are you allergic to alcohol? If not, then drink it."Rachel then smiled, "I'm not allergic to alcohol.” She just had been too obedient since she was achild, but then what? She was abandoned in the end.

Suddenly she raised her glass and drank it in one gulp.

She was drinking too fast and it was the first time she drank beer, so she choked. And then shegrabbed the napkin to cover her mouth and coughed for a long time.

"This's awkward." She laughed at herself.

"There's nothing to be awkward of."

Right now, Christina felt that Rachel really resembled some of the “standard” rich and dignifiedladies she had met a while ago. They were very disciplined and conservative.

Christina then recounted some of her embarrassing moments, "I once tried to dine and ditch in arestaurant. I rushed out the door after I finished the last bite and was chased by a group ofpeople..."

"Haha, is that true?" Penny laughed out loud.

Christina didn't feel ashamed at all and said bluntly, "I had no choice at that time. I was so poor andhadn't eaten much for three days. I was really hungry.”

Rachel looked at her and smiled, "You're bold.” And she felt a little envious.

Crystal was quiet today. Keeping drinking one glass after another, unknowingly, she had drunk threebottles.

"I didn’t expect you can drink this much, Crystal. Never judge a book by its cover.” Penny was verysurprised.

"Come on, don't just drink. There are still a lot of dishes.” Penny then picked up some beef and putit into Crystal's bowl.

However, Crystal didn't seem to have much appetite today, “I'm not very hungry." After that, shecontinued to pour beer into her glass.

"You don't look very happy. Did you quarrel with your husband?" Penny asked casually.

But she really hit the nail on the head. With a hint of inebriation, Crystal then vented her anger."Now that Erica is more like the hostess of the family, she has changed a lot. She takes care ofeveryone's daily life, and even personally picks Geoffrey up. I think... I just mentioned to Chandlerthat I wanted to have a baby. But he said I'm not sensible.”

As she spoke, her eyes were wet, her tear almost gushing out.

"What?"

Penny didn't understand what she was talking about, but it seemed that Crystal had been upset fora long time.

"Don't worry, there's always a solution,” Penny immediately comforted.

Crystal then raised her head, drank another half a glass of beer, and shook her hand with a forcedsmile, "I'm fine, I'm fine..." She knew that now was not a proper time to talk about such adisappointing thing.
