My billionaire husband spoils me too much -
Chapter 468
Patrick thought that she was drunk and unconscious when she said that she wouldn't quit.
"I'm going to work."
Early the next morning, Christina got dressed in the cloakroom and took the car key to go out.Patrick frowned and pulled her. "Where are you going?”
"Didn't I tell you yesterday? I won't quit. I've decided to continue working at Shepherd's company.”Other people had to think about how the boss was when they chose their job. Christina didn’t needto bother. She could just go directly. Anyway, Shepherd said that he didn't want her to be a parasite."Haven't you run wildly enough with Brianna yesterday?" Patrick sounded a little angry. He didn'twant Christina to work in that company.
"I'm going to work. It has nothing to do with Brianna. I just think it's better for me to stay there. I'mnot familiar with other companies’ employees, and Shepherd and Eric are there too..."
Christina was frank, but when she mentioned Eric, she noticed that Patrick looked a little unhappy,so she stopped talking for a second.
However, she still insisted, "If you want me to work on the charity project with those women, I willgo, too. But I can't leave this job for the time being.”
But Christina would be very busy if she needed to do two jobs.
She would be too busy to take care of her family.
Patrick really felt annoyed and stared at Christina.
Christina felt a little guilty when Patrick looked at her without saying a word. She confessed to him,"I, I had a dream yesterday. When I was young, my mother coldly chased Derek away and told himnot to play with me anymore..."
Derek hadn't earned elders’ love since he was a child. In their opinion, he was too strange andreserved. Besides, he was a foolish bastard of the Fisher family. Therefore, almost all parents did notlike their children to get too close to such a strange person.
Christina did not know why she suddenly dreamed of her childhood. In fact, she was not very closeto her mother, her dream last night impressed her very much.
Patrick looked at Christina even more deeply, and he tried to suppress his complicated emotions.Christina's childhood was something he could never interfere with.
"Derek has been sick recently. I can't leave him alone.”
Christina knew that Patrick didn't like to hear about her past, so she just said it simply.
"How about the twins and me?" He asked
Christina looked up to Patrick in surprise. Usually, Patrick would stay silent when she mentionedDerek. She did not expect him to raise such a question.
"You and the twins won't be alone. There are also family doctors and so many servants at home."Christina was very uncomfortable being stared at as if she had done something wrong. She turnedher head slightly to avoid Patrick's gaze and whispered, "Derek is different from you. He has beenalone since he was a child."
In order to convince Patrick, Christina told him a secret and almost cried.
"Derek tried to commit suicide when he was a child. He was not afraid nor painful. He had no senseof the world, so he said he didn't know what he lived for... I rushed over and pressed his wrist. Then,I called Larry to send him to the hospital, forcing him to swear that he would never do such a stupidthing again, or I wouldn't talk to him anymore.”
Compared to Christina's excitement, Patrick was calm.
"You mean that he lives for you?" Patrick murmured as if he were talking to himself.
"You know that it is not as what you think between Derek and me. He is like my brother!" Christinagot angry suddenly and felt that Patrick was too heartless. He had no pity for Derek at all.
"Do you consider yourself as one of the Hopkins family?" Patrick asked so calmly.
Christina looked at Patrick in a daze. Patrick looked into her eyes and asked directly, "Why did youask Lucy to investigate Brianna?"
Christina felt awkward because Patrick found the truth, but she was not ashamed. Instead, she gotangry and shouted, "You know! You know everything!"
Every time Christina faced Patrick, she would feel powerless because Patrick was used to controllingeverything. He always had an eye on her. He didn't trust or respect her at all!
Christina felt annoyed and said, "Patrick, let me tell you. Believe it or not, Brianna has a tendency forviolence. She attacked me several times and spoke strangely, I don't know what kind of freak she is!"Patrick was surprised by Christina's words, but after thinking about it carefully, he said calmly, "It isimpossible.”
Brianna grew up with him. How could he not know her character?
Christina got infuriated after hearing Patrick's words. She turned around and walked out quickly,saying, "Anyway, I won't quit!"
"Christina!"
Patrick shouted at her back in anger and tried to make Christina stop immediately.
As he wished, Christina turned around, but she glared at him and said, "Patrick, I've been toleratingfor a long time. Now, I'm telling you. I can't communicate with you at all. You're so over-confidentand superior. You made every choice for me and said it is for my own good. I won't be yourpuppet!”
"What's worse, you don't believe me. I don't care anymore... You are my husband, but I know mymaids better than you. You stay abroad for business most of the year. We've known each other forsuch a long time, but we never go to watch a movie together. You don't know my past, and I don'tknow your past, either. From the beginning, we just made do!"
Christina shouted angrily. Then, she went downstairs without looking back.
She drove away quickly as if she was in a hurry to leave the cage of the Hopkins family.
Patrick stood there with a gloomy face, and the servants around were nervous.
"From the beginning, we just made do!" Her clear voice echoed in Patrick's ears. She finally revealedher real thought angrily but frankly. That must come from the bottom of her heart.
Christina's suddenly returned to the company and Crystal and Penny expressed their strongwelcome as if their lives would be more exciting after Christina came back.
"What's wrong? You don't seem happy."
Crystal soon noticed Christina's absent-mindedness.
Christina thought for a moment and said, "I had a quarrel with Patrick.” As she spoke, she wanted tothrow the proposal that she had just written to the shredder. Though she spent most of her timethinking about it, she felt that what she wrote was a complete mess.
"What? Hey, didn't you write this proposal all morning?" Crystal immediately stopped her.
Christina did not hesitate at all. She threw the draft into the shredder and said, "It is useless, nomatter how much time I spent on it."
Crystal felt that Christina was too strict with herself sometimes.
"Did you quarrel with Patrick seriously?" Crystal pulled Christina to the pantry.
"It is not a big deal.” Christina made herself a cup of coffee and sat down. She sipped the coffeeslowly and said, "I don't sleep on the same bed with him."
Crystal looked at Christina in shock.
"You sleep in different beds?" It sounded serious.
"There are many guest rooms in the Hopkins family."
Christina, on the other hand, did not take it seriously. She continued to drink her coffee slowly, butshe felt that it was a little too bitter, so she went to replace sugar and milk on the cabinet.
Seeing that was still in the mood to make coffee, Crystal asked nervously, "Why did you quarrel thistime?"
A couple must sleep in different beds because of serious conflicts. Besides, Patrick had always beennice to Christina. What happened?
Christina finally added a small amount of milk and sugar to her coffee. She took a sip withsatisfaction and raised her head, saying firmly, "Anyway, I will never give in this time!"
"I told him his shortcomings. He had better reflect on himself. If he doesn't make a change, I won'tsleep with him. Anyway, I am not afraid of him." Christina got impatient and finished her hot coffeein one gulp.
Crystal suddenly wanted to laugh. Christina looked like a complete female hooligan now.
