My billionaire husband spoils me too much
Chapter 818

The next morning, Christina was wakened up before she could have enough sleep.

She suspected that Patrick was trying to retaliate her by not letting her sleep late.

Patrick had already gotten up and was wearing a tie. He stood by the bed and said in a voicedripping with sarcasm. "Who said yesterday that she was going to learn cooking and deliver mefood every day from then on?"

"I haven't given it up. It's just that there's no need to be in such a hurry.”

Christina had no courage to tell May on the cell phone last night that her husband was the one whocaused May to lose her job. It would be better to apologize to May in person.

"After breakfast, you go to learn cooking immediately. Charles will come to pick you up.” There wasno room for negotiation at all.

Christina obediently went to Charles's company, which was mainly in the field of media, withentertainment films accounting for a large proportion of its businesses. It cultivated a lot of Internetcelebrities, and signed contracts with many influencers in various fields.

Christina met that foreigner named Henry, who was much better than she had imagined. His tall andstrong figure indicated that he frequented the gym. His smile was sunny.

Nanny Faang was right. Henry's accent was quite funny. "Nice to meet you, the charming wife of myboss." His pronunciation was rather amusing.

Christina laughed. "You speak English quite well."

But Charles suddenly flew into a rage. "She's not my wife! Don't call her by the wrong title. You can'tjoke about this!"

Henry's agent, Shirley, immediately stepped forward and explained, "Henry was just being polite. Hethought this lady was your wife, so he made a joke. Mr. Shepherd, don't take it seriously.”

Charles's expression was still serious. "Tell him about some of our traditional cultures. Don't use theforeigners’ style of intimate greeting. Otherwise, I won't be able to help you if you're caught introuble.”

Seeing that he was so serious, Shirley did not dare to neglect his advice and nodded repeatedly.Charles began to regret coming up with such a stupid idea. He shouldn't have asked Christina tolearn cooking, which caused trouble for himself.

Christina had a good impression of Henry, the chef.

"My girlfriend is from here. This is her motherland. I love here very much. She wants to come backfor development, so I'm here too."

He smiled and talked about his past with his girlfriend. It seemed that he really cherished her.

While chatting with each other for a while, Henry expressed his heartfelt willingness to teachChristina cooking.

Shirley, who was at the side, saw that Charles treated Christina like a sister-in-law, so she naturallytried to please Christina. "Miss Dickens, what about trying Henry's superb cooking tonight?"

"No." Henry was the first to refuse.

Shirley looked very embarrassed. It was obvious that Charles was very protective toward MissDickens. Naturally, Shirley needed to foster a good relationship with Christina. After all, Henry hadalready planned to develop here in the next year or two.

"I'm very sorry. I'm going to meet my girlfriend tonight. She's a little angry with me.”

Henry explained apologetically in his poor English

In fact, Christina had been no stranger to delicious food. She was not interested in having a meal,and she planned to go to May tonight to apologize in person.

"It's okay. We can try it next time." Charles waved his hand to resolve the embarrassment.

After leaving Charles's office building, Christina said she was going to meet a friend, but when shedialed the phone number of yesterday's call, May didn't answer.

Christina decided to go back to the Hopkins family.

At this moment, May was caught in a dilemma.

Her parents had thought that May was making great fortunes abroad, so they got used to spendingmoney lavishly. They also liked to show off in front of relatives and friends. Now they even sold thehouse in C City and bought a bigger one in A city.

"How can I get so much money to afford your new house all of a sudden? Besides, the housingprices in A City are frighteningly high.”

As soon as May returned to the motherland, her family prepared such a big surprise for her.

"Don't you have a foreign boyfriend? You've been dating for 7 years. Isn't he very rich?"

"The house has been sold. At that time, the buyer paid the full amount in one go, while your motherand I wanted to buy a house in A City as soon as possible to dodge the rise in the housing priceoccurring in a few months. Since your brother and your future sister-in-law work in A City, it wouldbe more convenient to live there..."

May lowered her head and said nothing more.

"I don't expect you to come back all of a sudden.”

"You work well abroad. Why do you suddenly resign?"

May didn’t explain anything, but asked in a low voice, "Where do you live now?"

"For the time being, your mother and I are staying at your grandmother's house, and your brother isliving in the house of his future mother-in-law.”

She had never expected to return home and replace that the house had been sold. Suddenly, she wasat a loss for where to go.

Not wanting to worry her family, May forced a smile. "I'll then stay at my friend's house for the timebeing. I'll contact you after I replace a job in a few days."

Her parents were very reassured about their daughter. After all, their daughter had been verycapable and good at taking care of herself since she was a child. They reminded her again beforeher departure.

"May, your brother is not young. Since he favors that house in A City, help him think of a way out.Your brother won't be able to afford the down payment alone. The monthly payment will also bevery high later. You only have one brother. You must help him."

May stood straight on the side of the road and watched her parents leave in a taxi. The smile on herface gradually disappeared and turned into a bitter look when the car drove out of her sight.Where could she get so much money?

Most of the money she earned abroad over the years was sent home. Cindy once criticized May ofbeing simple-minded and reminded her to think more about herself. But May paid no heed to it,since she was reassured about her family. However, now she was really in a difficult situationbecause she really didn't have the money.

May did not go to live in a friend's house. The only friend she kept in contact with in the countrywas Cindy. But the Sandfort family was too complicated and May did not want to cause her trouble,so May temporarily lived in a hotel for the first few days, and finally rented and stayed in a cheapand convenient small single room in the suburbs of A City.

It was already 7 days later.

When she settled down, she wanted to call her parents to tell the truth that she really couldn't helpher brother buy the house now. The high rent in A City made her realize the cruel reality of life.Unexpectedly, the voice on the other end of the phone was filled with joy. "May, you really have agood boyfriend."

"He's really generous. He has paid our down payment without hesitation.”

"You have to treat him well in the future. He is handsome and rich. When are you going to getmarried? You'd better hurry up and get a marriage licence with him as soon as possible!”

The parents on the other end of the phone were still chattering, leaving May completely astonished.Without hanging up, she opened the door of the rented house. Taken by surprise, she was huggedtightly by Henry, who immediately rushed over.

May recognized the familiar warm embrace of Henry, who hugged her tightly for fear that shewould run away. "Where have you been? I can't replace you even at your parents’ house.”

Henry's accent made him sound like a spoiled child.

For inexplicable reason, May was touched by this hug, by the sentences uttered in an eccentric tone,two lines of tears gushing out of her eyes after so many days of tiredness.
