My billionaire husband spoils me too much
Chapter 577

Chapter 577The Archipelago was not shown on the globe."... Is the map In my hand fake?” Could it be a prank?Just as Christina was muttering to herself, Lucy sensed something. “What did you say?"Lucy must be learned and experienced. Christina didn't mind sharing the map with them. Shelooked down at her rose-red handbag and wanted to show it to Lucy.Lucy raised her eyebrows and keep a watch on every of her move.“Christina, my mother asked you to come over for dinner tonight!” Charles still held his phone in hishand and hurried over.“And your aunt. My mother seems to have something Important to tell her alone.”Charles had received the good decree of his dear mother so he must fulfill his mission.Charles suddenly disturbed her and Christina stopped to look up to him. She was cautious as heraunt was also involved, "Why does your mother look for my aunt?”“I don’t know your mother well.”Christina had forgotten her husband and son, let alone Mrs. Shepherd.Charles gave her a bright and handsome smile, “My mother said it's okay if you don't know her well.She was so familiar with you.”Like mother, like son. They were both passionate.Due to his interruption, Christina forgot to take out the map to Lucy for her help. Lucy evenvolunteered to follow her to the Shepherd family for dinner.".., I'll send her back home by 10 pm,” Charles promised Patrick.Patrick didn't get those things that happened recently clear. He was very busy. Originally, hecouldn't agree to let Christina go out at this time but he was quite relieved for the Shepherd family.He glanced at Lucy and thought for a while“By 9” He saidCharles hastened, “Okay, okay. Ill send her back by 9pm.”it was not easy to bring people out through PatrickChristina stood aside, having no choice. After the two men made the agreement, she followedCharles's car to the Shepherd family.Charles even sent someone to pick up Betty.“Did my aunt know your mother very well before?”“They might have a good relationship in private.” Charles was driving while Christina and Lucy sat inthe back seat. He guessed casually, “Maybe they're meeting to talk about the old times.”After all, Betty and his mother were of the same generation so they should have a lot in common.Lucy looked at the speeding scenery outside the car window, feeling so bored. When she heardtheir conversation, she rose the corners of her mouth disdainfully. She knew that Betty had norelationship with the Shepherd family at all."... Christina, does your wound still hurt?”"Oh, how did this happen? Charles told us all about it. You really suffered.”As soon as Mrs. Shepherd saw them enter the door, she immediately ran over enthusiastically andheld Christina's hand and talked to her worriedly, “It's not important that you don't remember thosethings. Don't pressure yourself. The most important thing for you is to get well now. Men will solveother things for you. Don't worry. You must take good care of yourself.”Faced with Mrs. Shepherd's concern, Christina was a little awkward. She didn’t know how to react.“Thank you.” She said in embarrassment.“Mom, don't you know she broke her head? Don't scare her.”Charles sighed. He still had to send her back safe and sound later. It would be troublesome ifanything happened.Mrs. Shepherd immediately turned her head and said fiercely, “We have guests at home. Be polite!Hurry up and get some tea!”Charles did not dare to resist and silently went into the kitchen to prepare the tea.Christina smiled. Mrs. Shepherd's ability to change her temper was really eye-opening. People fromthe Shepherd family were really funny.“Mrs. Shepherd originally wanted you to be her daughter-in-law but she finally give up seeing thatyou were the daughter-in-law of Hopkins family” Lucy told her kindly,Mrs. Shepherd was considered a special woman in the upper class. The last time she saw Crystalbeing bulliedby people of the Stephenson family, she even called Mrs. Stephenson and scolded her.To put it bluntly, Mrs. Shepherd's unscrupulous temper was attributed to the men of the Shepherdfamily. Her husband was always very easy-going and her four sons were even more obedient totheir mother.The Shepherd family’s upbringing was quite special.“Marrying into the Shepherd family should be very happy.” Christina liked Mrs. Shepherd.“None of her four sons would marry. From a psychological point of view, it could be the shadow ofchildhood.”Lucy and Christina were whispering about the Shepherd family when the car to pick Betty uparrived.Betty was so surprised to hear that Charles's mother had something to discuss with her, for she hadnever been in contact with the Shepherd family. Since the Shepherd family invited her, she justaccepted.“Some daily ctisine here. Be free to eat what you want.”Tonight's dishes were cooked by Mr. and Mrs. Shepherd. They didn't like to employ servants, so theyusually cooked themselves.Charles's three brothers did not go home to eat as they were working outside. They were the onlyones sitting around eating, as an ordinary warm family.After dinner, Mrs. Shepherd told Charles to take Christina and Lucy for a walk outside the house.Charles had no choice but to obey while Mrs. Shepherd and Betty were having some tea andchatting in the living room."... I dont want to go out for a walk. There are so many mosquitoes outside.”Christina turned around constantly. She was curious about why Mrs. Shepherd called her aunt here.The community where the house of the Shepherd family situated was well-afforested, so theyinevitably became a feast for the mosquitoes at night."How senseless you are. My mother deliberately pushed you away.” Charles continued. “This way.There are no mosquitoes but maybe a few wild animals.”Christina didn't give up and touched Lucy with her elbow. “Do you know what they're talkingabout?”Lucy had a great meal just now. She looked up at her. “You think I'm a prophet?”While walking, she lowered her head as she dealt with some small instrument to connect theheadset... What are you doing?” Christina asked again,Lucy didn't look up and continued to do her own things.Charles walked behind the two women and felt strange. Christina seemed to be pleasant to getclose to Lucy.It could be that Christina and Lucy had teamed up to investigate Brianna or that they had hadbecome friends a long time ago.Lucy was cold and ruthless on the surface and Christina could only be “bullied” by her."... 1000 dollars a minute. It's also calculated as one minute if less. Or I would tell nothing.” Lucyfixed the headset in her hand and waved it in front of Christina, bargaining with her in a sinister andcunning manner.“Let me hear what's in the earphones first”“Sorry, there's no audition service.” Lucy seemed as if she only cared about money."What if it's a song?”“Pay or not? I won't force you, and you can choose yourself... Attention, I would raise the price anytime as I want. When we get to the tree in front of us, the price will become 3000 dollars a minute.”Christina was a little angry. “I don't have any money!”“Your husband has,” Lucy reminded her.Charles's eyes widened as he watched Lucy play trick on Christina immorally. 3000 dollars a minute?She was too greedy, for she knew Christina was silly but rich.Christina picked up Lucy's headset and put it on her ears. When she heard the conversationbetween Mrs. Shepherd and Betty, she looked at Lucy in surprise. As expected, Lucy was not aninnocent person.Lucy looked very smug. She put a mini interceptor in Mrs. Shepherd's pocket and made a big dealthrough it.Christina listened carefully to the sound coming from her headphones. It was some daily chores. “I'llmake a reservation for 30 minutes. When I get back, I'll get Patrick's checkbook for you.”Lucy showed a cold look, “Cash only.”“I have no cash. Why don't I go back to the Hopkins family and get some gold jewelry as collateralfor you?” Christina was being so nice. “If you like antiques, I can also bring you a vase from theHopkins family.”wcy showed an impatient look.Christina sighed. “I told you I have no money.”A beggar could never be bankrupt.Miss Dickens won slightly this time.Charles listened to the conversation between the two women and tried hard to hold back his laugh.The hazy moonlight above them lengthened their shadows. Christina wore the headphones and wasnot very focused because Mrs. Shepherd and her aunt had been talking about their youth."Your sister Mary was really famous at that time. Even my husband who was so unfamiliar withothers’ appearance said he had an impression of her...”“My father was worried a lot back then. He didn't like my sister to be too ostentatious.”“Christina looks almost the same as your sister...”Christina felt a little bored listening to their conversation. She did not have much impression of hermother Mary actually“Mrs. Shepherd, why did you suddenly talk about my sister so much tonight...Mrs. Shepherd paused as if she was hesitating. “Today, I went to the airport to send my third son.Then, I saw a woman in a silk scarf who really resembled your sister Mary” a
