My billionaire husband spoils me too much -
Chapter 72
Christina stood still, watching him as he walked out of the bedroom door with his phone clutched inhis hand.
"Patrick, did anything happen?”
Christina said to the man in front of her. She did not know if it was her illusion. She felt his footstepsa little hasty and heavy.
"That message just now..." As she guessed, she followed him downstairs.
"A message from the United States..."
Christina had just arrived at the Main Residence of Hopkins Family when she heard from afar thatMr. Hopkins was in a hurry to ask, "There is really a new situation. He has woken up. Is there achance to recover?"
"Young Master has rushed to the international airport.” The butler was also very excited.
She couldn't understand what they were talking about, so she walked up to him worriedly."Grandpa, Patrick..."
The old man looked up at her and hesitated for a moment before asking, "Didn't he mention it toyou?"
Christina smiled awkwardly and shook her head.
Thinking about it, she really worried for nothing. She had no right to interfere with Patrick's personalaffairs.
"There are some urgent matters in the United States. Patrick needs to rush over immediately. Hemay be staying there for a long time." The butler smiled kindly and explained briefly to her.
"Oh."
Christina lowered her head. Her tone was somewhat sad.
She did not continue to ask about it. She pretended not to care and sat with the old man for awhile. When she returned to her bedroom, she immediately grabbed her cell phone and openedWhatsApp.
Invincible Tina: "Charles! Come out. Come out!"
Brother Charlie: "Why?"
Originally, Charles didn’t want to talk to her since he was at the company meeting, but Christinaseemed a little agitated today.
Christina entered a string of words in a flurry, but she felt it rather awkward when she was asked byCharles so calmly.
After thinking for a while, she calmly replied as she typed a line of words, "Patrick received a textmessage from Seattle hospital today, saying that someone woke up, and then he acted abnormallyand rushed out..."
Brother Charlie: "Really? Woke up?"
Even Charles was shocked. He spoke to his assistant, stood up, and walked out of the conferenceroom.
After thinking about it, he replied to Christina, "Patrick is going to Beauty Island.”
Invincible Tina: "What? Beauty Island?"
Charles looked at the emojis of anger she sent, raised his eyebrows, and teased, "Christina, do youthink Patrick went to the US to replace beautiful girls? Are you jealous?"
Brother Charlie: "Don't worry. Patrick has suffered enough from you alone. Beauty Island is a richarea in Seattle, where a friend of his lives."
Invincible Tina: "Who?"
Charles did not answer her and he looked thoughtful.
Christina knew that Charles was also a busy man, and did not dare to disturb him. She thought ofquietly withdrawing from WhatsApp as she felt a little silly to inquire about Patrick's personal affairs.Brother Charlie: "When there's a chance, perhaps Patrick will introduce the person to you."
At last, Charles sent the message and Christina looked at it in a daze for a while.
She browsed her WhatsApp content and read some inspirational articles.
She found that she hadn't updated her Moments for a long time, so she sighed and wrote aparagraph.
"Being pregnant with no appetite and brain's swelling. It is as if I'm getting increasinglystupider."Christina then added a meme of a drooping orange cat at the end.
To Christina's surprise, someone instantly commented on the boring exclamation in her Moments."Tina, don't be too tired. Take more rest as much as possible.” It's a very polite saying.
Christina only glanced at the word "Tina", which was a little nauseating...
"Who is this?"
She checked the other party's message. The nickname was Sleeping Beauty.
This was a new WhatsApp account. The other party had not updated any things in Moments."Sleeping Beauty? Why does a man use this nickname? Is he really so beautiful...”
Christina didn't take it to heart and withdrew the WhatsApp directly.
Cory and Carrie were officially getting married next week. They and family relatives were supposedto have a meal this afternoon to talk about the details of the wedding. Patrick suddenly went to theUnited States, so Christina naturally did not go.
In order to have a healthy big fat baby, Christina had a regular routine. She stayed at home for aweek and she didn't go anywhere, but occasionally, she subconsciously looked at her cell phone.After Patrick went to the US, he didn't call her.
"What do you miss him for?"
Getting used to getting up early, Christina picked up her phone to check as soon as she got up, andher expression was a little unhappy.
"Ma'am, why have you been so distracted all week? Are you feeling unwell?"
Early in the morning, Christina had breakfast with the old man. When the butler served them, heasked with concern.
Before Christina could answer, Mr. Hopkins raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice, "Patrickwill not return until the end of the month...”
"Ma'am, it turns out that you miss Young Master. He has something important to do...” The butlerunderstood a little and immediately explained to her.
Christina was embarrassed.
Mr. Hopkins teased her as well and said leisurely, "Don't stay at home all day long. Depression doesno good to my great-grandson’s IQ. Find yourself some things to do..."
Thirty minutes later, Christina sat in the car expressionlessly. The car was driving forward steadily,heading for the church on the east side of the city.
She thought that the old man had just asked her to play chess with him when he said that she shallhave something to do. Why didn't she expect that he wanted her to attend the wedding?"Grandpa, I don't think I'm a good fit..."
"What, are you feeling guilty?"
Mr. Hopkins did not let her come alone. He sat with her in the car. "Christina, remember that youare the granddaughter-in-law of our Hopkins Family. It makes sense that you attend the wedding ofthe Hampton Family. Hiding or escaping from it will only end up in making trouble.”
"Not because of this. I don't want to..." I didn't want to see those people.
Seeing that she hesitated to speak, the old man immediately frowned and looked at her. "You mustkeep a suitable distance from other men, you know. Don't do anything to make Patrickmisunderstand...”
In fact, today, the old man proposed to attend the wedding with Christina with another purpose,which was to clear the relationship between her and Cory.
Christina was stunned for a moment. It sounded like a joke, but when it was said by the old man inhis deep and aged voice, it was more like a warning.
She turned to the window and answered, "I know."
But deep down in her heart, she was very dissatisfied. "Patrick may have a beautiful woman in hisarms in the United States. It's really unfair..." He didn't even send her a text!
The wedding ceremony became more solemn with the presence of Mr. Hopkins.
The people present all went to greet Mr. Hopkins one after another. Christina was always by the oldman's side. Indeed, no one dared to look at her even a little strangely, and no one dared to gossip.Laurie was clearly unhappy when Laurie saw Christina was here, but she also smiled.
Everything was going smoothly, just waiting for the main character to enter...
"Why did the groom take so long..."
