Brianna's blind date arranged by Lassie was finally left unsettled.

After all, Brianna didn't put the blame for it on Lassie. Though Christina was dissatisfied with whatLassie had done, she couldn't pursue the matter since she did not want to stir up trouble.

Recently, Lassie always picked holes in Christina's behaviours. "I don't understand why your sisterdidn't resist at all. Now it seems that I put my finger in her pie."

At night, Christina stayed in the bedroom and complained to Patrick about it before going to sleep."Brianna has been like this since she was a child.”

Patrick had never interfered in the disputes between these women, but he really couldn'tunderstand why Christina said she needed to be defensive against Brianna the last time.

Christina sat at the dresser, looking at herself in the mirror and combing her long black hair.

She turned her head and looked at Patrick suspiciously. She pointed at him with her comb andasked in a rather imposing manner, "Patrick, tell me the truth, were you with Brianna before?”Patrick had just come out of the bathroom, and his short black hair was still a little wet. Heapproached her with a white towel.

"Brianna is my sister. Did Lassie tell you that Brianna used to be a child bride?" Patrick looked atChristina with clear eyes.

Seeing that he was so honest and frank, Christina felt a little bored. She originally thought that hewouldn't have said frankly if she hadn't forced him. She continued combing her long hair violently,and a few black hairs even broke.

"... Are you jealous?"

Patrick compressed his lips and chuckled. He picked up the big hairbrush in her hand and combedher hair. He was very patient, smoothing her hair back over her scalp.

Christina sat upright and looked at the man who was standing behind her combing her hair in themirror. She swung her legs and enjoyed being served by him. She replied proudly, "Why am Ijealous? Derek and I also had an engagement when we were kids and we even exchanged lovetoken."

Though Brianna was adopted by the Hopkins family as Patrick's child bride, Christina was Patrick'slegal wife now and they even had two kids. She was in an unassailable position.

How could she be jealous because of some jokes made by Patrick's elders?

"How's Derek?"

Patrick's combed her hair with a little force, and Christina felt a pain in her scalp. Christina wasdepressed because she found that Patrick was the one who could not stand those old stories.

Men like to be jealous the most.

"I transferred a hundred dollars to Derek's account.” The mention of Derek turned on the gas. "Doyou know why I transferred it to Derek? He actually called me this afternoon and said I owed hismoney..."

She originally wanted to share Derek's embarrassing story with Patrick, but before she could finishher sentence, Patrick was gloomy. He stuffed the large white towel into her hand and changed thetopic seriously.

"I combed your hair just now. Now it's your turn to help me rub my hair." Patrick took it for granted."Patrick, I'm your wife, but you're so fussy."

Christina grabbed the big towel and deliberately rubbed his short hair tousled. "Men are unreliable.Do you know it? Chandler and the Stephenson family always bully Crystal. If one day I can't bear itanymore and rush to the Stephenson family to judge them, you must get my back unconditionally.Understand?!"

As Christina rubbed Patrick's hair, she complained and made requests.

Patrick chuckled and said nothing.

"Why are Chandler and his family so biased towards Geoffrey and Erica? Chandler's parents lookedat Erica in such an affectionate way that I couldn't even stand.

Christina deliberately tied the towel around his neck. She raised her eyebrows in an exaggeratedmanner, pretending to be fierce and threatening.

"Patrick, I don't have many true friends. Now, my friend has been treated unfairly, of course I'm verydissatisfied. Stop imagining helping Chandler just because he's your friend."

Patrick glanced at Christina sideways and knew that she was childish. He suddenly stood up and puthis arms around her waist. With great force, he lifted her up. Christina's heart missed a beat. She wasafraid of falling so she quickly held his head tightly with both hands to avoid getting hurt.Christina could not resist and patted him on the head. "Hey, hey, put me down..."

Carrying her in his arms, Patrick walked straight to their big bed and said in a deep voice, "Christina,you strangled me just now. I am defending myself."

How could Christina be able to play tricks with Patrick?

"Don't meddle in the affairs of the Stephenson family, and Brianna and Lassie.” Patrick reminded herbecause he didn't like her to interfere in other people's affairs.

"Christina, if you're really that bored, you can think about me.”

Christina was thrown onto the bed, and her body bounced on the soft bed. She immediately turnedover to defend herself and asked doubtfully, "Think about what?"

Christina and Patrick often played such a game. Knowing that Christina was never obedient, Patrickliked catching her and throwing her on the bed when she got into a huff.

Just as she was about to jump out of bed again, Patrick grabbed her ankle and pulled her back...

"If you're bored, you can think about my desires." Patrick's voice was low, hoarse, and full of desire.Christina blushed.

Patrick covered her with his body. "Hey, I'm not ready yet..." Christina complained coquettishly."How long do you need? I'll give you at most five minutes..." Patrick felt challenging to suppress hisdesire, especially to Christina who was so dull. He felt that he was always suffering before enjoyingthe intimate night with her.

Perhaps it was because Christina complained to Patrick about Lassie last night, the next morning atbreakfast, grandpa warned seriously, "If anyone dares to introduce Brianna to anyone with selfishintentions, don't blame me for being cruel and breaking up the family relationship, humph!"Senior Mr. Hopkins warned not only because he cared about Brianna who was autistic but obedient,but also because Patrick inadvertently mentioned how unreliable the man Lassie introduced toBrianna last time was while he was playing chess with Senior Mr. Hopkins this morning.

Although Patrick asked Christina to mind her own business, he cared about Brianna.

At breakfast, Christina felt satisfied when she heard grandfather warning Lassie.

And Christina thus understood that though complaining to her husband was shameful, it worked!It was boring to idle the days away in the Hopkins family. Christina had nothing to do apart fromserving Patrick at night, so she often called Crystal when she was free, sharing her pregnancyexperience with Crystal and hoping that Crystal could smoothly give birth to a healthy baby.

The sun was shining brightly.

At noon, Christina sat on a chair under the shade of a tree and checked the time with her phonefrequently.

She and Crystal agreed to buy some maternity supplies and baby clothes today, but she waited for along time and didn't see Crystal.

"We agree to meet at 10:00, but it's almost 12:00..." Crystal was actually two hours late.

Crystal had always been used to arriving early. What happened today?

Before, they talked on the phone about pregnancy do's and don'ts and parental experience.Christina reminded her what cosmetics she couldn't use when she was pregnant. Today, theyplanned to come out to buy daily necessities such as shower gel and cream for pregnant womenwith loose skin on bellies.

Crystal said that they'd better not meet at the Stephenson family because it was a little awkward tolet they know they were going to buy these things. She asked Christina to meet in the Central Parklocated in the business street of the east of the city and said that she might be a little late.

But it was almost 12 o'clock and Crystal didn't show up.

Christina made five calls but no one answered, and she also sent a bunch of messages to Crystal onWhatsApp, but Crystal didn't reply.

"Did she meet an accident?"

Christina was worried, especially now, Crystal was in the early stages of pregnancy. What if Crystalmet an accident on the way over and went to the hospital?

Christina thus got up and hailed a taxi to the Stephenson family.

Christina urged the driver to speed up. In the parking area across the road from the Stephensonfamily, she immediately ran out of the car.

"Christina!"

At this moment, in the lanes of oncoming traffic, a dark gray Porsche was driving towards her. Theman in the driver's seat rolled down the window. It was Chandler. He looked a little gloomy andshouted at Christina anxiously.

Christina heard someone calling her and turned to look.

Christina felt strange to meet someone she knew. Chandler seemed to be angry and was glaring ather.

Chandler seemed to have just driven out of the Stephenson family and was in a hurry. He parkedthe car aside, where it was clearly marked as a non parking area.

He anxiously slammed the door and strode towards Christina.

He looked like he was going to seek revenge on her.

Christina stood still and looked at Chandler. It was obvious that he was going to stir up trouble.What happened? Christina felt she didn't offend him.

"What happened to Crystal?"

Christina was not dull, and she soon recalled that Crystal had missed their meet today.

Crystal asked her out but was actually two hours late. Was Crystal in trouble?

Chandler stormed up to Christina and gritted his teeth. "Christina, what have you said to Crystal?Don't mislead her. We ordinary people can't afford your noble habits!"

Chandler was not as gentle as he used to be. Instead, he scolded in a sharp tone.

Christina was confused.

"What happened? Where's Crystal?" Christina suppressed her anger and asked him again.Chandler was even angrier when he saw that Christina didn't feel guilty at all.

Chandler felt that Christina had been indulged by the Dickens family since she was a child. After shemarried Patrick, she became more wilful because Patrick spoiled her. But it was her business.However, now, Christina interfered with his marriage, and Chandler couldn't stand it.

"I've always respected Patrick, so I respect you. No matter how unreasonable you are, we won't takeit seriously. But Crystal is not you. She's completely different from you. Christina, leave her alone...”"What are you talking about?"

Christina lost her patience and glared at him with a darkened face.

Chandler's face also darkened. "Crystal has run away after leaving a message because of you! Whereis she?!"

He was furious and questioned Christina

Christina was shocked.

Did Crystal really run away after only leaving a message? Crystal didn't tell anyone.

How could Crystal do so? How could that coward Crystal have the guts to do such a thing?

She was always caring about others’ feelings and was always worried that if she did somethingwrong, she would cause trouble. How could she suddenly be so wilful?
