My billionaire husband spoils me too much -
Chapter 479
Christina and Patrick looked at each other at the door in a daze.
At this moment, Larry came from behind and shouted breathlessly, "What happened?" He suddenlyreceived a call and rushed over. Finding that Christina and Patrick were here, he got much morenervous.
Christina ignored Patrick's staring but looked at Larry. She said calmly, "Come in, Derek was feelingsick.”
As she spoke, she couldn't wait to push Larry in.
Larry and Patrick passed each other at the door of the apartment. Although Larry felt that there wassomething strange, he was not in the mood to probe now. He immediately went into the house andfound that it was in a mess, "Ah! What happened? Who made it?"
Christina turned around and shouted at him. "Forget it! Eric is in the bedroom.”
Larry looked flustered. He immediately ran into the room.
Patrick had more doubts about that and wanted to walk in.
But Christina stopped him and gave him an unreliable reason. "Derek doesn't want others to enterhis apartment.”
Patrick stood face to face with her. His eyes were so deep and sharp that Christina did not dare tolook into them. But she still remembered Derek's words "Never let others know." No matter what,this was a promise between her and Derek. She must keep her promise.
Patrick did not break in, but his eyes became much more mixed.
They stood still, while Christina was still trying to close the door. Even if Patrick did not walk in, hecould see the mess in the room.
The night was quiet. The light breeze rumpled her long hair.
She looked at him speechlessly and had to lower her head.
Patrick raised his head thoughtfully. He looked at the full moon hanging high in the sky. Tonight wasthe fifteenth day. The moon was bright and its outline was oozing with a film of scarlet.
Ten minutes later, Larry ran out of the room and told Larry, "His condition is stable now."
"Really?" Obviously, Christina couldn't believe it.
She hesitated. "Shall... Shall we call an ambulance?"
"No."
Larry immediately interrupted her. "Derek asked me to tell you, don't worry. He's fine. He'll recoversoon..."
"I must check.” Only checking it by herself could Christina believe in it.
Larry scolded her coldly. "Is it appropriate for a married woman to enter a single man's apartment atmidnight?"
Christina was annoyed. "It's none of your business.” She was about to go in.
Larry was stern. He blocked the door and gave him an earful, "Hurry back. Shall we talk about ittomorrow? Don't stand here. I'm going to lock the door.”
As he spoke, Larry looked narrowly at Patrick who was always silent.
Larry was not unwilling to let Christina come in. It was because he was afraid that he couldn't stopPatrick from following her step. Thus, he had no choice but to eject both of them from theapartment.
But Christina would not compromise. "I'll stay here tonight.” She had made her decision.
Larry raised his voice and sneered. "You must ask your husband for his agreement.”
At this moment, Christina felt a little guilty. She didn't dare to face Patrick now. She knew it was herfault and said, "I, I keep my principle very well. Trust me..."
While Christina was speaking, Larry pushed her hard and slammed the door.
Larry knew how to deal with this tough girl. It didn't work to negotiate with her. The best way was tokick her away.
Christina was stunned by Larry's action.
She punched the door angrily. "You are despicable and shameless! Why did you lock me out? It wasme who called you here! Open the door, open the door!"
"I must check Derek!"
All the threats and warnings were useless. Christina kicked the door angrily and warned him, "Ifanything happens to Derek, I'll tear you apart tomorrow!"
Larry snorted disdainfully inside the room.
Christina walked out of the apartment with Patrick silently in a mixed feeling.
Outside the neighborhood, two luxury sports cars were parked on the side of the road. The dazzlingblack Ferrari was driven by Christina, while the dark gray Porsche parked behind was driven byPatrick.
Christina wanted to drive back home by herself.
But when she looked up and saw Patrick standing at the door of the Porsche. The door of thepassenger seat was opened by him. He stood there silently and seriously.
It meant that if Christina should take the same car with him.
Christina had known him for a long time. His expression indicated that he was in rage.
Christina hesitated for a moment. She didn't dare to drive back by herself. She got into his car andsat down in the passenger seat.
Patrick slammed the door. Without saying anything, he quickly sat down on the driver's seat. He didnot look at her anymore, but looked straight and drove the car. The narrow space in the car was insilence again.
Patrick drove at a high speed, while he felt fretful. He had forgotten to ask her about the badge ofthe Strozzi family.
Soon, they arrived at the Hopkins family's Eastern Garden.
Nanny Fain and the maids called them cautiously, but were told "No supper.” Then the servants left.The atmosphere in the Eastern Garden was inexplicably tense. Christina supposed that it mustbecause Patrick was in a sulk , making the servants nervous.
She felt sympathized with them.
In fact, she was also very sure that Patrick would not throw his temper in front of her, even if shestopped him outside TY Apartment just now.
After Christina went back to bedroom, she took her nightgown and went into the bathroom to takea bath while she was thoughtful.
"Shall I tell him about Derek tonight?"
"Patrick must be in a bad mood now."
When she came out of the bathroom, the door of the other bathroom opened almost at the sametime. Patrick walked out in his nightgown.
They looked at each other tacitly.
Christina quickly withdrew her sight and walked quickly to the bed. She slipped into the quilt.Patrick turned to be unusually calm. He walked steadily to the other side of the bed and lay down.Christina felt was a little nervous and thought that Patrick would question her. But Patrick did notspeak as if nothing had happened.
Then, Patrick turned down the light of the lamp and was about to sleep. Christina also breathed asigh of relief. It seemed that he would force her.
Nevertheless, just in a sudden, he pulled the quilt vigorously.
Christina could not be sure if Patrick did it on purpose. But she had been dragged over already.They leaned against each other with the company of warmth and fragrance after bathing.
They lay their backs to back.
Christina was a little sulky. She didn't want to speak first, but Patrick was snatching the quilt fromher. He was so powerful that Christina was about to be defeated, although she also seized the quilttightly.
"Patrick Hopkins, what are you doing?" Christina lost her composure and turned to scold him.Patrick fixed his eyes on her with a gloomy expression at the moment she turned around. It seemedthat he had achieved his intention, then he let go of the quilt.
"Are you crazy?!" Her heartbeat was rumpled, but she still pretended that she was in the right.
At least, she couldn't enter the competition of the quilt for no reason.
Patrick pursed his lips and said nothing.
Christina felt more perplexed under his steady gaze. She immediately turned her back to him
For a long time, a murmur came from the side of the bed. "Childish." Christina wrapped herself withthe quilt and closed her eyes.
The bedside lamp was dimly lit, because Christina was used to sleeping with the lamp lighted.Patrick slowly turned around and stared at Christina, who was breathing evenly. She had fallenasleep.
"It's really childish.” Patrick suddenly murmured.
He reached out and pulled the quilt to prevent her head from being covered by it.
Sometimes, he didn't know what he wanted. Maybe he just wanted her to talk to him, or wait for hersight.
Patrick cast his eyes at the glass window on his right. It was a chilly night outside. The full moon wasgradually covered by thick clouds. He couldn't fall asleep tonight.
