"Why aren't you asleep yet?"

Patrick Hopkins pushed open the door and subconsciously looked over to the bed.

".. 1 can't sleep.”

Christina looked at him and replied sullenly. She was in a bad mood. She turned over and turnedher head back to him.

Patrick had recently learned some of the humor of a couple getting along. He approached the bedand sat down, his large palm deliberately reaching out to her warm neck. "Hey, it's cold." Christinaturned to glare at him... "Get your hand off me.”

"You can't fall asleep without me in the middle of the night?" Patrick asked her in a deliberatelymeaningful tone.

"Patrick, don't be so narcissistic."

Christina wanted to laugh. Recently, Patrick seemed to have learned from someone. He would bevery playful at night.

Patrick saw a smile on her face and deliberately reached out to pinch her nose.

Christina was not feeling well. She rubbed against him and broke free easily. Then she simplyhugged his thighs with both hands and rested her head on his legs. She bit him on his expensivetrousers with sharp teeth.

She bit him, but still held his legs and refused to let go. She asked him, "Patrick, do you think I'mtoo nosy?" Her voice was sullen.

"Actually, I didn't think much... I just wanted to help.” Christina muttered to herself in a low voiceand did not mention the names of Crystal and Chandler in front of Patrick.

Even if Christina didn't say it, Patrick naturally knew why she was bothered.

"Christina, your husband needs your help now." He deliberately changed the subject.

Christina turned around and rested her head on his thighs. Her cheeks were a little red. "No way, I'mon vacation."

"What erotic things are you thinking?" Patrick said seriously. “I had a meeting in the study all night.My shoulders are sore now. Give me a massage.”

Christina was embarrassed.

But because she was too lazy, she didn't even want to get up. She rubbed her head against his legsfor a while. "If you want me to massage you, you should massage me later.” She immediatelybargained.

"You've helped Crystal so much. Why don't you bargain with her?" Patrick continued to pinch hernose.

Christina struggled to avoid him and buried her face in his legs. Then she slowly reached out her fairhands, grabbed his waist, held his shoulders, and wrapped her arms around his neck. Only thencould she barely support herself up.

Patrick's body reacted to her movements. She was still lying on his chest, looking lazy and unwillingto move.

Then she said in disgust, "Hold your hard body... In the midnight, you'll drag me over again.”

She meant that a man's body was strong, and a woman's body was naturally soft.

Patrick obviously misunderstood. "Don't play with fire." He was a little annoyed and his voice washoarse.

Christina had her period these days, so they took it as a vacation.

Christina did not know what was going on in his heart. She simply leaned her head on his shoulderand sighed. "Chandler and Crystal are reconciled. Their relationship is quite good..."

Her voice was a little disappointed and she whispered to herself, "But now the Stephenson familysaid that I taught Crystal bad things, and Charles also said that I instigated Crystal to get divorced...But I didn't.”

Patrick's face darkened when he heard this.

Christina seemed to have figured it out herself, "... I have to get up early tomorrow morning andargue with grandpa to get more time for visiting the twins.”

Christina straightened up and patted him on the head. Her fair fingers pointed to the other side ofthe bed. "Patrick, you can lie in the massage chair for a while. I don't have time to massage you now.I want to sleep.” Christina said straightforwardly.

Patrick looked at her with a complicated expression as she lay back on the bed, covered in the quilt.She made him so hot but then she go back to sleep. What an irresponsible woman!

"Christina, remember this time." Patrick was not feeling well now. He looked at her sideways andsaid to her seriously. Then he got up and went to the bathroom to take a cold shower.

Christina rolled on the bed and ignored him.

She felt that her relationship with Patrick was quite ordinary and not as sticky as other couples. Incontrast, "Crystal seems to be very partial to Chandler..." Their relationship should be deeper thanher and Patrick's. Christina couldn't figure it out. Forget it. She stopped thinking about it.

Early the next morning, Lucy, who had come specially to eat, found that there was no one in thehouse. The most important thing was that there was no food in it.

"Your alliance is disbanded?" Lucy called Christina directly.

"What alliance?"

Christina had just woken up and couldn't understand what Lucy meant.

Lucy teased coldly over the phone, "I've already guessed that Crystal's willpower is not strongenough. You're all working for nothing.”

"Crystal had a fever yesterday and was hospitalized.”

"Well, and... Chandler and she seem to be reconciled. The Stephenson family said that Crystal couldgive birth to her baby, but they were worried that Geoffrey would not be able to accept the child, sothe child should be temporarily adopted outside..."

Christina held her phone and told Lucy everything that happened yesterday.

"What the hell?" Lucy frowned. She never wanted to get involved in these troubles.

They agreed Crystal to give birth to her baby? The child should be temporarily adopted outside?Why were they acting like this as if it was an illegitimate child?

Christina said casually, "Love makes people numb."

Lucy looked disdainful and snorted, “Love makes her lose her head.”

If it weren't for that Crystal lost her head, she wouldn't have thought of such a strange way to dealwith it. Lucy felt that the Stephenson family, including Crystal, should all have a brain CT scan. Theremust be something wrong with their brains.

Lucy didn't care if they were crazy. She just asked, "What about my breakfast?" The point was thatshe hadn't had breakfast yet.

Christina was expressionless. Charles and the others had always said that Christina was willful.However, compared to Lucy, Christina felt herself really virtuous and considerate.

Lucy always cared about her own personal interests first. She was really an honest person.

"Crystal can be discharged this afternoon,” Christina reminded Lucy.

"Then I'll come back tomorrow morning,” Lucy thought quickly. "No, she shouldn't be living withyou again.”

"She still has to go back to live. The Stephenson family wants her to stay outside to take care of thebaby. After giving birth, she will still stay outside for the time being..."

Lucy tutted. "I feel like your friend Crystal is the mistress of the Stephenson family."

God made everyone come from different backgrounds. When there was a gap, people would feelhumble, but if they were too humble, Lucy would look down on them.

Christina's face darkened. "Hey, don't talk nonsense.”

"OK, OK, I only care about my three meals a day.” Lucy stopped sensibly.

"By the way, I should remind you that boss doesn't like you to interfere in the Stephenson family'saffairs. If you insist on meddling in other people's affairs, in the end, the Stephenson family woulddefinitely fall on evil days.”

Patrick used to pamper Christina. Even if he was angered by her, he could only bear it. How could hewatch outsiders bully his darling?

If those people from the Stephenson family went too far, they would definitely suffer.

Christina was indeed like a "trigger".

"Hey, what are you talking about?" Christina frowned and asked.

Lucy smiled but did not answer.

Anyway, Lucy liked to watch others get into trouble.

As the days went by, Crystal reached an agreement with the Stephenson family to live in Christina'svilla for the time being

"Chandler asked me out to choose houses this afternoon.” After lunch, Crystal stood up to clean upthe dishes and said happily.

"Sit down. I'll clean up.” Christina had been working hard at housework recently. She asked Crystal,"Are you going to leave here?"

Crystal looked a little embarrassed and nodded. "It's not good to disturb you by staying here all thetime."

"It's okay. The house is empty anyway."

Christina's tone was calm, and she didn't mean to force Crystal to stay. After all, Charles and Lucyoften reminded her not to meddle in other people's affairs.

Crystal stammered. "Actually, Christina, Chandler is not as bad as you think. He has his reasons..."Christina immediately waved her hand. "If you think it's okay, you don't have to tell me." Christinadidn't want to hear Chandler's troubles.

Crystal lowered her head and looked a little depressed. "Christina, am I troubling you too much?""Not at all. Don't think so much. Pregnant women have to keep a good mood."

Christina held a pile of dirty dishes and chopsticks. "Crystal, what time did you make anappointment with Chandler? Where will you meet? Do you want me to drive you there?" AsChristina spoke, she went to the kitchen to wash the dishes.

The last time she washed the dishes in the Hopkins family, Patrick was interested to stand aside andwatch her carefully, sighing at how virtuous his wife was.

Christina was now good at doing the housework in an apron.

Seeing her like this, Crystal smiled and knew that she shouldn't be so polite to Christina. After all,they were so familiar.

Standing by the sink and watching Christina washing the dishes, Crystal casually said, "Christina,would you like to be the godmother of my child?" This was mentioned when Crystal went out todinner with Mrs. Stephenson last night.

If the child could have a godmother like Christina and a godfather like Patrick, it would be a greatgift for the child. The Hopkins family would help the child with everything in the future, and thechild would win at the starting line.

Although Crystal was a little snobbish, Christina didn't think she was an outsider, so Crystal still saidit.

Being the godmother of the child?

Christina's hands were covered with bubbles. Without thinking much, she agreed directly, "Okay."At four o'clock in the afternoon, Christina drove Crystal to a sales center to see houses.

"Chandler hasn't arrived yet."

Christina looked at the clock in the center discontentedly. The man actually let a pregnant womanto wait him.

Knowing that Christina had been very unsatisfied with the Stephenson family recently, Crystalimmediately found an excuse for him. "He said he had a meeting. I came early.”

Christina saw that Crystal was eager to protect her husband, so Christina complained in her heartand stopped complaining.

"Miss, do you want to see a house? How big do you like? Do you want to live on your own orinvest?" The sales brought two cups of tea and warmly came over to receive them.

Crystal smiled shyly. "I'll wait for my husband to come over.”

"It must cost man's money. Ha ha, miss, your husband really loves you." The sales lady had a sweetmouth.

Crystal blushed and smiled.
