With a creak, the brakes screeched.

Charles pulled over his luxury car and turned to glare at her angrily.

"What?" Christina sat in the back seat, raised her eyebrows, and said venomously, "Charles, what areyou doing? Is this a threat?"

She could kick his ass without Patrick's help.

Only a shoulder throw would send him to the hospital.

Charles was a little afraid of this violent woman. His heart was filled with complaints. Why on earthdid Patrick marry her? There were so many amazing women, but he chose this wicked woman

For his own safety, Charles decided to reason with the wicked woman in a soft voice. "Christina, theother channel has recently launched a cooking show. The actor is much more handsome thanHenry."

It was okay that Christina looked up to male stars, but Patrick was not.

Once Patrick was unhappy, they would be implicated.

Instigating Christina to adore the male star of another channel not only allowed Patrick to sign theproject but also suppressed his opponent.

Charles thought of this little trick.

"Handsome? He can't be more handsome than Derek.” Christina snorted.

Derek.

Charles gritted his teeth. Indeed, Christina's childhood friend was gorgeous, so she had differentcriteria about being handsome.

Charles gave up. "Well, just don't adore Henry!"

"I didn't."

Christina didn't think she was a fangirl. She just wanted to learn cooking. "I have nothing to do athome. What's wrong with learning cooking?"

"Everything is wrong!"

Charles was furious. "If you have nothing to do, go have a baby with Patrick!"

Anyway, the Hopkins family would like her to give birth to many children. More children, moreprosperity. Besides, there were so many properties in the Hopkins family, and they needed a lot ofchildren to inherit.

He thought Christina would retort him, but she sighed. "I don't know why. I've done my job but I'mstill not pregnant. I've always wanted a daughter.”

Charles, who was furious a second before, suddenly froze.

Was she really planning to have a child?

This was big news!

Charles thought quickly and he decided to talk to Patrick that his wife wanted to have a child withhim. Patrick would sign the project contract as soon as he was in a good mood.

Suddenly, Charles cheered up.

"Okay, I'll drive you to my company now. Today, I would ask Henry to teach you how to make lambchops. I would cancel all his shows to let him teach you."

As he spoke, Charles started the car happily, but he saw a familiar figure in the small park oppositethe road at a glance.

"Why are you waiting for? Hurry up and drive."

Christina reached out to pull out his hair from the back seat.

"Ouch, can you stop being so violent!"

Charles covered his perfect hairstyle and pointed out the window. "Over there, the one in the parkpavilion wearing a long white dress and huddled up, is that your roommate before?"

Christina craned her neck to look. "Who? Which one?" For a moment, she did not recognize her.

"I remember last month you showed me your photo album and talked about how shining you werein high school, and how weird your roommates were."

"... I happened to see two of your roommates at a cocktail party in my company the day beforeyesterday. One of them is Cindy, and the other is..."

Charles said slowly as he recalled.

"May!" Christina suddenly shouted out the window.

Charles nodded. "Yes, that's right. The other one is May."

"She's Henry's girlfriend for seven years. What a coincidence.”

Charles was still muttering to himself. Christina in the back seat hurriedly opened the door andrushed out.

"What are you doing? Can't you give it a rest for one second?”

Charles also hurried out, afraid that he would lose Patrick's wife. That was a big crime.

"May?"

When Christina walked up to the small pavilion in the park, she tried to recognize the woman whowas drenched and looked exhausted carefully.

She seemed to have put on heavy makeup before. The makeup was washed away by the rain, andthe dark eyeliner was smudged. She looked a mess.

"Christina?"

May reacted a little slow because she didn't feel well. Last night, she was drenched in the rain for awhole day and didn't eat anything. Her mind was in a daze. She was awakened by a gust of coldwind early in the morning. She suddenly realized that she couldn't be like this anymore. Otherwise,she might have died on the street.

She turned on the phone and there were missed calls from Henry.

She was staring blankly at his phone number when she heard someone call her name.

She met her in France three months ago, so May could immediately recognize the beautiful womanin front of her with exquisite and luxurious makeup was her former roommate.

Christina.
