Perhaps because she was too tired recently, Christina who had planned to take a nap on the plane fell
into a deep sleep.
She was even carried off the plane to the Hopkins House without waking up.
When she woke up, it was eight o'clock the next morning.
Christina was used to looking at the man beside her every morning she opened her eyes.
She looked a little awkward and surprised that he hadn't gotten up yet.
She was lying on the same bed as him, covered with the same quilt and holding the same marriage
license, but she was not happy at all when she looked at his face that was handsome enough to
captivate any woman.
“Am I his wife?Christina wasn't sure either, but she thought through something since the last time she
bled in the hotel.She didn't deserve such a powerful, handsome man.Carefully removing Patrick's arm
from her waist, she moved away from him and wanted to get out of bed quickly.Morning.”
The man next to her suddenly opened his eyes, put his arm around her waist, and pulled her back.
"Morning..."
Christina was pulled back into his arms, the tip of her nose hitting his chest as she nervously pushed
him away.
Patrick looked down at her reddish profile.he was rejecting him.
Ever since the massive hemorrhage at the hotel in C City, she had become much more obedient but
she had become increasingly distant.
"I'm hungry.I need to get up."
Christina explained herself casually.
She was hungry, which meant the child in her belly was hungry, and the Hopkins Family always
prioritized everything concerned with the child.
Patrick didn't stop her, so Christina immediately got out of bed and went straight into the bathroom,
slamming the bathroom door shut.
Patrick didn't like to sleep late.
He woke up a long time ago, but since he had just come back, he didn't want to go to work for the time
being.
He thought it would be good to just lie in bed with her.
He sat up and frowned as he looked at the closed bathroom door.
After washing up, the two of them had a simple breakfast and went to the Main Residence of the
Hopkins Family.
Mr.Hopkins was surprised to see Patrick coming with Christina.
He was in a good mood and muttered, "Has the company been closed down?"
Christina had been used to the way Mr.Hopkins got along with Patrick.
Actually, Mr.Hopkins, the venerable and eccentric old man, was actually very childish.
"It's Saturday,"
Patrick replied expressionlessly.
"Patrick, you haven't had a holiday since you came back to take over the company.’’
The butler smiled as he made tea for them and asked with concern, "Young madam, are you with the
RH-AB blood type?"
Christina sat away from Patrick on purpose and nodded.
"Yes."
The last time she was in a coma due to bleeding in C City, she was lucky to have hit the wrong button
and called Cory.
He had come in time, and he happened to be with the RH-AB blood type.
Otherwise, she would have kicked the bucket.
"Get the hospital to prepare the blood for delivery.'' Mr.Hopkins commanded the butler.
"I already did.’’ Patrick glanced at Christina who was sitting opposite him and suddenly said that.
Mr.Hopkins and the butler looked at each other in surprise.
They were wondering when Patrick started to care about these trivial matters.
Patrick didn't say much.
He seemed to be very busy.
He got up from the sofa, stepped away, and went straight back to the study.
The butler and others knew that Patrick had been in C City for a week, and there must be a lot of
documents he needed to approve.
Next month was the 50th anniversary of the founding of IP&G Group.
"I heard that you were bleeding and unconscious at a hotel in C City.Cory came to you in time and
saved you..."
"Wasn't that brat with you at that time? Why didn't you call him?"
Hearing this, Patrick who was near the stairs slowed down a little.
Christina was stunned, and there were mixed emotions in her eyes.
"The child is very healthy now..."
Her long eyelashes drooped and she did not answer it directly.
Mr.Hopkins's brows were slightly raised.
Seeing her expression, he knew she did not want to talk about that day.
A thought flashed across Patrick's eyes, and he walked straight upstairs.
"By the way, Ma'am, as to the wedding of the Hampton Family..."
The butler suddenly remembered something and looked at Christina with a strange expression.
"Are you going to Mr.Hampton's wedding?"
Cory was Patrick's cousin and Christina's ex-husband.
Their relationship was complicated.
And he recently saved Christina in C City...
"If the Hopkins Family needs me to attend the wedding, I'll go."
Christina was expressionless and stood on ceremony.
The housekeeper felt that she was a lot more distant than before, so he asked tentatively, "Ma'am, is
there any misunderstanding..."
Misunderstanding? What kind of misunderstanding could she have with him...
"Cecilia, have you had any misunderstandings with Patrick lately?"
"Cecilia, he won't answer.Stop calling him.’
At this time, in a high-class restaurant, Cecilia was dressed in designer clothes and looked gentle and
elegant, but she was very anxious now.
She kept calling the same number, but she could only hear the busy tone.
Her manager Anne was sitting opposite her and also looked very anxious.
"Patrick blocked our numbers."
The advertisers and the shooting crew were indifferent to them recently...
"How could this be?"
Cecilia was so angry that she threw her phone on the floor.
"Our superstar looks very upset.Was she dumped?"
Connie happened to be eating in this restaurant, and with a smile on her face, she strode towards
them, sounding gloating.
When Cecilia heard her voice, she immediately looked up at her with a gloomy face.
"Woman, you'd better not provoke me.” Connie who was tall was standing beside her and gave her a
disdainful look.
"Cecilia, you are nothing without Patrick as your backer now!"
"You took the role that belonged to me, and now I'll show you how it feels to be cold-shouldered by
everyone.’’ Connie still hated Cecilia for taking away her role as the female lead.
When Anne heard this, she immediately stood up nervously.
"Connie, that's not true.The whole role thing was really just a misunderstanding.How dare we go
against you?"
"Connie, you are the daughter-in-law of the Dickens Family.Everyone knows that you become an actor
because you love acting.We are not the same.We work so hard just to earn a little fame and make a
living..."
When Cecilia heard her manager's self-deprecation, she immediately shouted.
"Anne, shut up!"
"Let's go.The wedding planners are waiting for us..."
At this moment, a man called out to them at the entrance of the restaurant.
Cecilia and Anne looked up and were surprised.
It was Cory.
Cory held a three-year-old girl's hand with his right hand and Carrie was on his left.
When he looked at Cecilia's face, his expression was complicated.
Cecilia really looked like her...
He lowered his head and whispered to Carrie.
"Tell your sister to hurry up.We're leaving."
Connie didn't want to argue with Cecilia, so she sneered and said, "Cecilia, your manager is smarter...’
She looked at them as if she was watching a show and walked way arrogantly with her long legs.
"Who does she think she is? She slept with a 50-year-old man when she was 20 years old.She is just a
shameless b*tch..."
Cecilia was furious and cursed at Connie's back.
Her manager quickly pulled her down and reminded her by saying, "Cecilia, pay attention to your
image!"
"Things are different now.Now the media agencies will no longer hold back the negative reports about
you.If you want to continue your career, you have to restrain yourself.After all, Connie is the daughter-
in-law of the Dickens Family.Everyone in this industry knows that.For the sake of the Dickens Family,
we can't go against her.It's not good to do that."
Cecilia was angry but thought this was true.
She had no choice since Patrick ignored her.
Patrick was different from other men.
He didn't like the way women acted coquettishly.But she didn't want to give up!
"Cecilia, why did Patrick approach you in the first place?"
The manager suddenly thought of something and asked in a low voice.
An idea flashed through Cecilia's mind and her face turned pale.
She glared fiercely at the manager and yelled at her out of control.
"Anne, what do you mean? Patrick likes me.He loves me!"
