Spoil My Errant Wife (Patrick and Christina)
Chapter 92: A Fool

"I'm not going to the party..." Christina got up early today and had breakfast with Old Master Mr.Hopkins.

He asked about her high school reunion party that she had mentioned before.

The butler brought them a platter of fruit after breakfast and smiled kindly.

"Young Madam, the fetus is 18 weeks old. It's fine.If you want to attend the party, just be careful..."

"Let that bastard go with you."

Old Master Mr.Hopkins was in a good mood. He took a sip of tea and made a suggestion.

"I'm fine alone." Christina was flattered and immediately refused.

She smiled awkwardly.

"Patrick is very busy.I heard he has an important reception today."

Even if he wasn't busy, she didn't dare to disturb him.

A few days ago, Crystal said something heartfelt to her.

She had been thinking about it these days.

In fact, Patrick was really good to her.

Patrick was not the only one who treated her well, even the cold and dignified Old Master Mr.Hopkins.

Perhaps they were good to her because she was pregnant, but she should learn to be grateful.

She understood that the reason why Old Master Mr.Hopkins cared about her was more because of Patrick's attitude towards her.

"It's a noisy place. I haven't contacted those high school classmates for a long time. My best friend won't go to the party since something happened..."

"Is that the friend who works in the group?" Old Master was a little curious.

Christina felt sorry for Crystal, and she chatted with Mr.Hopkins about it at home.

"Yes, it's difficult for ordinary people to get married and buy a house, so she has been quite annoyed lately..."

It had been a week.

Crystal seemed to be very busy recently.

Christina was a little worried about her.

"Because her brother is going to get married, he took her house away. That's not reasonable. That man is a bastard. If Patrick dares to bully his sister, I will kill him..." Old Master Mr. Hopkins had always been very demanding of his descendants, especially boys.

"Patrick has a sister?" Christina was surprised.

The butler explained, but his tone sounded a little strange.

"Miss Brianna is a girl adopted by us in Hopkins Family. She has been with Patrick's mother since she was young. They rarely come back from America."

It was clear the butler didn't want to talk about it anymore.

Their expressions would change as long as it was about Patrick's mother.

Christina stopped talking about this topic and got up to go back to her bedroom.

"What kind of person is Patrick's mother?"

As she walked along the corridor, she was wondering.

It had been the most complicated relationship between in- laws.

Since his mother barely returned to the Hopkins, she probably could not have to worry about this.

She could leave directly after giving birth to the child.

But...she couldn't bear to leave when looking at the elegant corridors and flowers.

She was not sure she didn't want to leave because of the beautiful sceneries or something else...

Suddenly, the phone in her pocket rang and she came back to her senses.

"Christina, do you want to keep me as your mistress..."

It was Crystal.

"What's wrong?"

Christina became nervous because she heard Crystal crying.

"Christina, my brother has a new house. He doesn't have to bother me anymore."

"Did you really give him your house?" Christina's face darkened immediately.

"No, they despised my apartment for being too remote and too small. My mom gave him 700,000, and he bought a house of 110 square meters and paid for the down payment..." "Where did your mother get 700,000?" Christina didn't understand.

Crystal suddenly burst out laughing with sarcasm.

"She doesn't have any money. She borrowed it from my father's relatives..."

"It's Saturday, and my mom just told me to go home. She said she made me some soup. When I just arrived, a bunch of relatives came to ask me to return their money."

Crystal couldn't help but cry out, "It's my curse to have such a mother. She wrote an IOU to these relatives and promised to pay it back today, so she tricked me into going home to pay it back for her! Seven hundred thousand, how can I get so much money all at once? She's forcing me to die"

"If she gets sick, I'll do my best to lend money to treat her. But, she's just trying to help her stepson. My stepfather only paid 200, 000 for his son's marriage. My mother was very generous and gave him 700, 000 directly. She said that in the future, she would rely on Simon to support her and let me please their family now. Even if I suffer now, I'll be able to have a backup. Bah, nonsense! My mother is the only one who valued these shits..."

"Well, now that Simon's new house is available, the whole family is happy to prepare for the wedding. All the money they owe is my responsibility.'

"Is your mother a fool?"

Christina was so angry that she wanted to curse.

Crystal was sobbing.

She had no choice and didn't have any reliable friends.

She could bear to be bullied and wronged in typical days, but she felt so terrible this time that she called Christina.

"My aunt comforted me and told me not to be so angry.

She said I can pay back by selling my apartment.

Damn it, they all planned to ask me to sell my house and buy Simon a new one.

What are they thinking about? They are all crazy!"

"They said that if I didn't pay the debt for my mother, I would be an unfilial daughter. My mother was crying and making trouble at home. She said it was useless to give birth to me..." "Crystal, well...Don't be too sad. Your mother borrowed the money.Don't..."

Christina wanted to comfort her, but she didn't know what to say.

"I'm fine. I'm fine." Crystal adjusted her mood and wiped the tears off her face.

"My parents divorced since I was young, and I've been living under others' fences ever since I was a child. I'm used to living like this. Eating more and sleeping more makes me feel guilty. Other people's daughter is a princess, but I think even a maid is living a better life than I am.Christina, you're sad that your mother was gone. My mother is still alive, but she made me even more...I don't know what to say." Christina listened to her and she felt sad as well.

She knew that Crystal was already very strong.

"Crystal, why don't I help you..."

"Christina, I just wanted to talk to you to vent my anger.It's okay.I can handle it." Crystal said.

"I haven't repaid my loan yet, so I can't sell it. I've decided to use my new number and stay in the company's dormitory for the time being. I don't care if they want to collect debts or make trouble. It's none of my business. The group's security guards are not pretty faces." Christina was a little worried.

"If there's anything you can't solve, remember to look for me."

After the phone was hung up, Christina went back to her bedroom, locked for her bank card, and checked her balance.It was only 100,000.

All these years, her grandfather's legacy was spent on her aunt's treatment, and there really wasn't much left.

She looked a little depressed that she couldn't help Crystal.

She knew that Crystal was not sad about the 700,000, but her mother's actions made her heartbroken.

Although Crystal's tone was very calm and she said she would change her number and stay in the dormitory, if her mother made a scene and threatened to commit suicide, she wouldn't ignore her.

The money borrowed would eventually be returned.

Christina looked at her bank card with a helpless face.

She was very upset and felt sorry for Crystal.

She stayed in her bedroom until dinner.

Before she went out for dinner, she saw Nanny Faang going in with some maids to clean up.

She heard someone say, "This vase is very expensive. You guys, be careful."

Christina stared at the blue and white porcelain on the table and suddenly thought of a way.

"Nanny Faang, Patrick, is he home?"

"There's a reception tonight, and he might be back a little late...Is there an emergency? Young Madam, you can call him. He will be very happy to receive your call..."
