"What's your relationship with that bastard of the Fisher family?" When Lassie saw her, shequestioned her harshly.

Christina was a little confused.

Seeing that she said nothing for a minute, Lassie thought she was guilty and said in a moreconfident tone, "Stop keeping secrets. I know someone who already knows what happened betweenyou and him."

"So what exactly happened between us?" A wave of anger came over Christina addressing herprovocation.

"The lawyer appointed by Derek helped you set up a trust fund. He transferred all the assetspersonally in your name. If there was nothing nasty between you, how come he have given you somuch money!"

Lassie asked fiercely. With so much property, why did such a good thing happen to her? There was abarely veiled envy in her tone.

Christina finally realized that it was the time when Derek entrusted a lawyer to handle the propertygrant.

There really was no such thing as a secret.

Especially in the upper class, it was easy to know through connections, even if it was a confidentialsort of thing.

Christina responded very directly. She said angrily with face darkened , "It's none of your business!"Lassie glared at her angrily.

She couldn't believe it when she first heard the news. She was angry and hateful that she got such abig fortune for no reason

In the living room, Senior Mr. Hopkins, Judy, and Brianna were all there.

They were supposed to have breakfast at the table, but because Lassie had told them all about itearly in the morning, they all had their own thoughts.

Senior Mr. Hopkins frowned and looked at Christina.

The older generation usually didn't interfere in the private affairs of young people. It was herpersonal decision whether Christina would accept Derek's gift or not, but the figures involved thistime was extremely huge, and even Senior Mr. Hopkins felt a little uncomfortable.

As Hopkins family's granddaughter-in-law, it was not right to accept such a huge fortune from aman outside.

However, even the elders had no right to ask Christina to refuse the property.

"Dad, I know it's my fault that I went to investigate her privacy,” Lassie suddenly softened her toneand looked at Senior Mr. Hopkins with a righteous look. "But she should at least mention such a bigthing to us. I don't know what she's thinking about. I was just trying to be considerate for her andHopkins family. "

As Christina was about to refute, Lassie immediately increased the irritation, "People outside thinkthat our Patrick can't afford a wife."

She dared to say that Patrick couldn't afford to raise his wife.

Christina looked at the people in front of her and suddenly felt funny.

Senior Mr. Hopkins was still silent and deep in thought. Christina saw Lassie's face light up and Judy,who was pretending to be calm and quiet, enjoy this show so much.

Finally, looking up at Patrick, Christina didn't want to say anything.

The warmth of the morning seemed to disappear in an instant.

Christina had refused to accept Derek's transfer of property from the beginning, but the lawyer whowas entrusted seemed to be particularly stubborn. He was in a hurry to get the deal done and keptcalling her to sign it.

Christina was so angry that she wanted to beat him up when she called the lawyer. "I told you, Irefuse to accept it. Don't transfer so much."

"I can't. Mr. Fisher has already authorized it."

The lawyer tried to persuade her, as if he was thinking for her. "Miss Dickens, all you have to do nowis sign your name. In fact, even if you don't sign your name, I have already set up a trust fund foryou."

"After these assets are officially under your name, you can transfer them back to anyone you want inthe future,” the lawyer did not forget to add fawningly, “If you have any property transfer matters inthe future, you can always ask me to help you deal with them at any time.”

Tootle... Christina hung up the phone.

These people were greedy and fully engaged for money, which made Christina so mad.

She was very angry and called her best friend Crystal.

"I behaved well lately. It's Lassie who always managed to mess with me..." Christina picked up herphone and complained.

Crystal said softly as usual. "Lassie is really a typical villain, but you don't have to worry about her fortoo long. After all, she can't live in Hopkins family for the rest of her life."

"At this point, I think she wants to live here for the rest of her life."

Christina was upset at the thought of Lassie. "Last month, Patrick gave me a house with a flat ofmore than 200 square meters. It's more comfortable to live there than in Hopkins family. I'm readyto take the children there...”

Crystal burst into laughter.

Christina was just talking about it. How could people in Hopkins family let her live outside with herchildren?

"How is Derek now?" Crystal did not forget to care about her favorite.

Christina sighed. "The last time he hurt himself, which scared me..."

"Now he has become indifferent to everyone, not even to me. The transfer of property is nothing tohim. He is now like a buddha who sees through everything in the world and has nothing to do withit."

Others said that there must be a huge profit plot for Derek to transfer such a large amount ofproperty to her. In fact, Derek did not take the money seriously at all, just like giving away thecabbage at home.

"On next full moon, I'll visit him." Christina muttered with a serious expression.

She asked casually, "By the way, Crystal, it's my father's birthday tomorrow, I'm going to take thetwins back to the Dickens family for a few days. Do you want to come with me and take a walk in CCity?"

Crystal was a little awkward. "It's inconvenient.”

Christina suddenly understood. "Oh, I almost forgot that you can't run around in the early stages ofpregnancy.” Crystal's pregnancy was a happy thing, and Christina was also happy for her. "Chandlerprobably won't let you go back to the Dickens family with me.”

At the mention of Chandler, Crystal sighed.

Crystal forced a smile. "Yes."

"Crystal, you should have told him about your pregnancy, right?” Christina doubted her cowardlypersonality.

Crystal immediately replied, "Yes, yes."

Christina asked her, "Chandler should be happy too, right?"

Crystal continued to respond with a smile. "He's happy.”

Christina asked again, "Are the people from the Stephenson family very excited and looking forwardto it?"

"Yes, they're looking forward to it."

Crystal's laughter gradually subsided and she didn't want to talk about it anymore. She immediatelyfound an excuse. "Christina, if there's nothing else, I'll hang up first. I'm cooking red bean porridgein the kitchen. It's going to burn. Goodbye."

Christina wanted to ask more, but Crystal hung up.

She felt a little strange.

Crystal was definitely not the kind of person who hung up on others casually. She was usually polite.She would only press the end button when others hung up.

"Crystal doesn't seem to be so happy after getting married...”

Sitting by the bed, Christina was still angry with Lassie who was stirring up trouble this morning, andeven with Patrick together. "They are all bad men. Why should women get married? It's better to besingle for the rest of life.”

Christina sulked all day long. Besides, she didn't sleep well last night. Before going to sleep, shekicked Patrick rudely on the bed. There was no way to prepare for it, Patrick was almost fell off thebed. She didn't even let him touch her all night.

The next day, before sunrise, Patrick shook Christina awake.

"Don't disturb me!"

Before she could sleep well, Christina rolled over, ignored him, wrapped herself in the quilt andcontinued to sleep.

Patrick reminded her, "We're going back to the Dickens family today.”

Christina was gradually awake and she almost forgot it.

Immediately, half of his head popped out of the quilt and she mumbled, "You're busy with work. I'lltake the baby home by myself..."

Patrick frowned and said in a heavy tone, "Get up!"

"Why are you yelling at me in the morning?"

Hearing that, Christina immediately got up angrily. "I don't need your company to go back to theDickens family." Yesterday morning, Patrick didn't say a word when Lassie was criticizing her.

"You can't decide it." Today, Patrick was not silent, but rarely started to quarrel with her.

Christina glared at him with a sullen face. "I'm going back to my house and I don't need to talk toyou! Besides, there is no room up there. You'd better not to go to my father's birthday.”

As soon as she got up early in the morning, she spoke bluntly. After saying that, Christina regrettedit a little. Maybe it was a bit hurtful.

Patrick was indeed not welcomed in the Dickens family. Her father had chased him out before.Although he did not mention it himself, it was insulting.

"I must be invited for his birthday.” Patrick said it naturally, but it still sounded dictatorial.

Patrick himself didn't care about it whether the Dickens family welcomed him or not.

Then he said calmly, "If you want to take the baby, you have to take me with you."

Christina was stunned.

She was tidying up her clothes in front of the dressing mirror when her hand paused, suspectingthat something was wrong with her ears. She turned her head and looked at Patrick's serious face.She was instantly an internal storm of contrasting emotions.

If you wanted to take the baby, you had to take me with you.

She would never have thought that Patrick were strangely naive.

Speechless, she stroked her forehead. He became naive when he get older.

Christina found that she couldn't be angry anymore.

In fact, that was because after he got married, Patrick deeply understood that fighting with Christinawould only hurt himself.

Seeing that it was getting late, Christina quickly packed up and asked, "Did you tell grandpa that weare taking the baby back to the Dickens family?"

"No."

Patrick was calm and added, "Charles was waiting for us in the garage with the children in his arms.”"Ah, why was Charles here?"

In the garage, she saw Charles trying to play with his twin son.

"I haven't seen my godson for a long time, so I want to go to C City with you.” Charles invented anexcuse facing her question.

In fact, Charles was temporarily notified and ordered by Patrick yesterday.

It was most likely that Patrick and Christina were still fighting. Charles felt that he had completelybecome a tool to adjust the atmosphere.

When Christina saw that Charles usually talked a lot, she immediately scolded him, "Hey, I reallydon't understand why grandpa asked you to be my children's godfather.” Charles was so unreliable."It's rude of me to be your son's godfather!”

Charles was immediately annoyed. "You are not competent at all. They are almost a year old. Theyhaven't learned to speak yet.” As godfather, Charles began to worry.

"A child who speaks late must be promising.” Christina brought out Senior Mr. Hopkins's tale.Charles said rudely, "Bullshit! Hurry up and take the baby for a checkup. Why aren't you payingattention at all for your babies?"

"Who said I wasn't paying attention? Grandpa had already examined them from head to toe, butthey were all fine. They didn't like to talk.”

Christina always argues with Charles. Things were starting to hum with activity.

The car drove smoothly.

In the extended Bugatti, Christina and Charles sat in the back. Patrick looked like a competent fathersitting in the middle with babies today. The driver in front of him drove carefully.

Patrick had already had two baby seats installed in the car. Listening to the familiar noise of thequarrel in the car, he calmly lowered his head and looked at his two sons

The baby seemed to be very excited to go out today. They waved hands as if they couldcommunicate with their father.

Patrick rubbed the children’s head and was pleased to say, "Your godfather helps me a lot..."
