My billionaire husband spoils me too much
Chapter 498

"Christina, are you sure you don't need to go back to the Hopkins family for dinner?” Crystal had adelicate mind and was used to being considerate. "If you suddenly don't go back,

will Old Master Hopkins be angry?”

Christina thought for a moment. "No, it should be alright.”

Ms. Hopkins might pick on her at the dinner table. Her mother-in-law, Judy, would keep silent

and be an onlooker. As for Senior Mr. Hopkins, he would only say that she'd better go home earlynext time and wouldn't take such trifles to heart.

Compared with Crystal, Christina suddenly felt her life in the Hopkins family was not that bad. It wasrumoured that the rules in the Hopkins family were stringent, but actually the life there was not thatdifficult.

Christina turned the conversation back to Crystal. She felt that Crystal was too oppressed aftergetting married.

She continued, "Look, children nowadays are parents’ riches. Geoffrey is the only child in

the Stephenson family, so everyone in the family revolves around him."

As Christina spoke, she looked at Crystal confidently. "When your baby is born, the two elders

of the Stephenson family will pay attention to your baby. Geoffrey should also like having a littlebrother or sister."

Crystal walked side by side with her, listening quietly without making a sound. She lowered herhead, and her eyes brimmed with tears.

Christina heard from Charles that there was a popular Chinese restaurant nearby, which wasparticularly famous for its stews which were really delicious.

Although Christina was not attentive enough to notice Crystal's frustration, she still made an effortto ask about suitable food for a pregnant woman.

Christina excitedly pulled Crystal into the restaurant. "Here we are. Even Charles said the food hereis tasty. You should have a try, and your baby will be healthier.”

While seeing Christina act so warmly to be considerate of herself, Crystal felt much better. Shesmiled and said, "Okay."

Crystal knew why Patrick Hopkins liked Christina. It was really comfortable to be with her, and shecould make you forget those vexations for the time being.

Coincidentally, Christina booked a private room and was about to have a big meal with Crystal, andthen she saw two acquaintances sitting in the private room next to hers

It was Ms. Hopkins, whom she hated very much, and Brianna.

"What are they doing here?" Christina stopped. The door of the private room was not closed, andshe could faintly hear some curses inside.

Ms Hopkins scolded Brianna fiercely. "I was kind enough to introduce a boyfriend to you. Why didyou perform so recklessly? At least you've lived in the Hopkins family for so many years, but howcould you didn't even know the basic etiquette. It's embarrassing that I brought you here."

Ms. Hopkins scolded Brianna without caring about her feelings, even though they were in a publicplace, so the waiter in the private room was very embarrassed and wanted to meditate but didn'tknow what to do.

Strangely, the quiet lady kept her head down from the beginning and did not utter a word.

The more Ms. Hopkins did this, the more Christina felt sorry for this lady. She looked rather young,and Christina pitied her for having such a snobbish relative.

"Madam, I have seen that it was the male guest who did something to this lady.” The waiter couldn'tstand it anymore and spoke up for Brianna in a low voice.

"It was this older lady who brought her niece over for a blind date, but the man just acted soindiscreetly. At first, he sat close to her and wanted to chum up with her. As soon as he saw theolder lady go to the bathroom, he rudely touched the young lady's thigh. The young lady was soscared that she quickly stood up and somehow tugged at the hot pot on the table. The soupstained the man's pants, and he was also scalded and then scolded.

"It's none of your business. Get out of here!"

Ms. Hopkins was in a bad mood, as her plan failed. When she saw this waiter speak up for Brianna,she immediately snapped at him as she always scolded servants like that at home.

This restaurant was fancy, and most of the customers here were rich people, who were generallypolite and respectful. While seeing this arrogant guest speak so harshly, the waiter thought aboutwhether he should go and ask the manager to mediate

Just in time, Christina walked into the room.

"Crystal, take Brianna out first.”

Christina looked at Ms. Hopkins calmly. Since she already had a dispute with this shrew

and also quarreled with her constantly, she was not afraid of her at all.

"Christina, mind your own business!" Ms. Hopkins was even angrier when she

saw Christina suddenly appear against her.

"I don't mind you telling on me to Senior Mr. Hopkins. Ms. Hopkins, what's the name of this“nobleman’ you introduced to Brianna? What are his hobbies? And what's his personality? AlthoughBrianna is not Senior Mr. Hopkins's granddaughter, he does care about her marriage. You'd betternot play tricks on her.”

"You!" Ms. Hopkins's face darkened even more.

Ms. Hopkins did harbor evil intentions, and she wanted Brianna to marry his husband's cousin, so itwould be easier for her to maintain relations with the Hopkins family.

Brianna was autistic, so Ms. Hopkins could effortlessly control her. Although Brianna had no bloodrelationship with the Hopkins family, her identity could bring about many benefits.

"Christina, I warn you, don't talk nonsense when you go back.” Ms. Hopkins had some scruplesabout Christina.

Christina looked at her indifferently. "I always only tell the truth.”

Ms. Hopkins felt uneasy and became furious immediately. "I arranged this blind date for Briannawith good intentions. Don't you see what kind of girl she is? Besides, she's not even a member ofthe Hopkins family."

"It was because they felt that Patrick alone would be so lonely, so they brought her back from theorphanage. She had been Miss Hopkins for so many years, and it was already a great blessing forher. Was she still not satisfied and thinking of marrying Patrick? It was only a joke when they talkedabout a child bride back then, and how could she really take that seriously? Let alone Patrick, evenCharles wouldn't fancy her. The person I've arranged for her is not that bad. How dare she bepicky!"

Christina was a little shocked. A child bride?

Originally, Brianna's identity was Patrick's child bride.

It sounded strange. What era was it? How come this kind of thing could even have happened?However, Christina was engaged to Derek when she was a child under her Grandpa's arrangement.It was not impossible for the Hopkins family to do the same old stuff.

Thinking of this, Christina turned to look at Brianna. "Hey, why are you still sitting there?" She hadno intention of asking about such a strange thing as a "child bride.”

She just felt that she and Ms. Hopkins were quarreling so fiercely, but why Brianna could sit therestill and didn't even make a reaction?

Sometimes Christina couldn't understand why Brianna let others bully her at will, and she didn'teven dare to argue.

"Brianna, let's get out of here. I'll accompany you home first.”

Crystal also felt sorry for Brianna. She soon stepped forward and pulled Brianna, who was obedientand did not dare to move in her chair, and then they went out of the room quickly.

Brianna did not refuse. She was like a child who had done something wrong and was at a loss. Shedid not dare to look around and let Crystal pull her away.

"You're pregnant. Don't run." Suddenly, Brianna whispered.

Crystal slowed down and turned to look at her strangely. "You know I'm pregnant?"

Brianna's face was delicate, and she only said, "Yes, I saw your pregnancy test kit."
