"He's not awake yet."
In the evening, when Hopkins Family was ready for dinner, Christina added with an embarrassed
expression, "He asked me not to bother him..."
Nanny Faang put the porridge on the table and looked at her in surprise, "Patrick kicked you out?"
She sounded not to trust Christina.
When the driver drove them home in the afternoon, Patrick held her shoulder in his right hand, almost
leaning all his body against Christina.
She helped him into the bedroom step by step.
At that time, they thought Patrick was seriously injured, finally it turned out that he had a high fever and
was coming down with a migraine, but this was the first time they saw Patrick willing to rely on others
so intimately.
Christina felt as if she had been weighed down by him.
The man was so heavy that she made a strenuous effort to carry him home from the hotel.
It was quiet in Eastern Garden of Hopkins Family.
Patrick was resting in the master bedroom, and the servants were all gone.
Christina was staying in the lobby on the first floor of Eastern Garden, and she glanced at the stairs
from the corner of his eye.
Patrick was sleeping in the master bedroom on the second floor.
As soon as he came home, he fell asleep on the bed.
His lips were still a little pale.
It was the first time she had seen him being so weak.
"Young madam, then you will be bothered to take care of Patrick."
Nanny Faang dared not enter the master bedroom, so she had to caution her.
Christina looked a little embarrassed and muttered, "He doesn't seem to like to be disturbed.He
scolded me and I came out."
Nanny Faang was stunned.
Did he really kick her out? In fact, Patrick only said three words, "You're noisy.’
After Christina helped him lie on the bed, she quickly checked his temperature.
Mr.Hopkins was obviously worried about him, but he refused to admit it, pretending to be cold.
She had to approach Patrick's ear and ask him what was wrong with him and whether he wanted water
or not.
She thought that Patrick was probably fed up with her too much.
"Ma‘am, it's just that sometimes men are more..."
Nanny Faang looked at her and wanted to laugh.
"tend to say something they don't mean."
Christina widened her eyes and watched Nanny Faang turn around and leave.
What did she mean? She looked up at the stairs, pondered for a moment without expression, and
finally head towards the master bedroom.
Gently opening the door, she poked her head out of the door and looked inside.
Patrick was still asleep in bed, so she slowed down to get closer to him.
His temperature had dropped, and now he was 38 degrees celsius, and he looked better.
Perhaps because of his previous high fever, the quilt covering his body was lifted by him.
He was lying on the side with his strong figure.
A few buttons on his dark purple expensive shirt were undone, revealing his muscular chest faintly...
Patrick really had a great figure...
She blushed hotly at the sight.
Christina had been lying in the same bed as him for months, but she usually didn't have the guts to
stare at him like that.
Suddenly, the phone in her coat pocket rang.
Frightened, Christina quickly turned her head away, pulled the quilt over him, and slipped out again.
"Fortunately he didn't wake up..."
No sooner had she just closed the door than her phone rang again as if someone was looking for her
urgently.
Christina was bored.
Her phone was turned off by Patrick, and she just turned it on...
Suddenly, she was startled as she remembered someone else.
She immediately took out her cell phone from her pocket.
Sure enough, Crystal was in a hurry to find her.
Two missed calls, a text message, and at this time new messages were kept sent to her on her
WhatsApp account.
Pig Is Rising: "What are you doing!"
Pig Is Rising: "Christina, why did you turn off your phone? You won't forget that we have an
appointment to go to Gordon Hotel to have a feast, will you?"
Pig Is Rising: "Christina, I really have enough money to pay the bill"
Followed by a little emoji that swore.
Christina swiped through a dozen messages from her on the screen, and it seemed that Crystal had
been looking for her from midday.
Invincible Tina: "Sorry, I met my husband downstairs at the IP&G Group.”
It was quite easy for her to type the word ‘husband’ When Crystal saw that Christina finally replied, she
immediately became furious and excited.
Pig Is Rising: "You forget your friend after you meet your husband.You just treat me like this despite our
deep friendship!"
Pig Is Rising: "Besides, at noon, you obviously get through but you didn't say anything, directly hang
up.Why? When I called you again, you turned your phone off.I thought you were robbed."
Pig Is Rising: "And here I still want to take you to eat that expensive but sexy food..."
Christina didn't know what she said about the sexy food, but it was definitely not a good thing when she
thought about it.
Seeing that Crystal was so angry, she had to send her several expressions indicating her deep
apology, but Crystal said that the verbal apology was insincere.
Invincible Tina: "Let's rain check.It's on my treat."
Crystal's eyes lit up and immediately replied, "Okay, I forgive you.”
Christina had already seen through her - a money- lover and was about to say something to mock her
when another message popped up on her WhatsApp.
Brother Charlie: "How are you doing with Patrick now, Christina? Be gentle with him.It's better not to be
too presumptuous as the sofa in the private room is not wide enough."
Charles teased her the moment he was active on WhatsApp.
When Christina saw the WhatsApp photo of Charles, she immediately remembered his sly smile at
noon when he did nothing to help her.
New and old hatred.
Invincible Tina: "Charles, let me introduce you to my friend."
She quickly clicked on the screen a few times and invited Charles to the chat group.
Pig Is Rising: "Who is this? His nickname seems so narcissistic."
Crystal mocked Mr.Shepherd at the first sentence.
Christina was in a good mood as it was exactly what she wanted to see for Charles.
Before Charles could say something to restore his image, Crystal added, "A psychologist said that a
person's nickname might reflect his inner desire.Brother Charlie, are you really a creepy person?"
Charles sat on the sofa in his living room and his handsome face immediately darkened.
Invincible Tina: "Crystal, tell him what we were planning to eat for lunch."
Crystal immediately became excited.
"American geoduck! Christina, we have to eat it next time.It looks basically the same as a man's
penis.Every time the bald-headed guy at the company bullies me, I go to buy a few geoducks and go
home to cut them with a kitchen knife to relieve stress."
Woman.
Charles did not speak.
He was surprised to see the two women discussing how to cut and bite the poor geoduck.
He felt his loins ached a little for no reason.
Pig Is Rising: "Hey, I heard that our country's divorce rate has risen again this year, being much more
stable than the A-share rise.
Crystal's imagination run wild as she changed to another topic that she was quite emotional about,
because she couldn't find a husband easily while others who got married chose to divorce, which
stimulated her.
Invincible Tina: "If the couple doesn't match, then they should divorce."
Christina felt not that upset by the word "divorce", probably because she was mentally prepared to be
abandoned after giving birth.
Pig Is Rising: "Christina, you're wrong.Life is hard as couples cannot divorce simply for trifles.It's
necessary and common for couples to tolerate each other.Nobody is perfect."
Crystal's attitude towards marriage was very serious, and that was why it was hard for her to get
married.
Brother Charlie: "The divorce rate only rises after women become financially independent."
Charles sent the message wearily.
Pig Is Rising: "That's because men are too incompetent!"
In any case, on the Internet, Crystal became so bolder that she dared to directly retort him.
However, she suddenly came up with a good idea.
"If the law mandates that the property owned by a couple was immediately confiscated and owned by
the state after the divorce, no one would choose to do so."
Charles opened her eyes wide and looked at the messages.
When did Christina make such a tough friend? He clicked to sign out, and then he immediately sent a
message to Patrick.
"Patrick, you have to be careful of Christina's treachery..."
But soon, Charles felt that it was inappropriate to say something like this.
So he deleted and edited another message.
"Patrick, someone was giving Christina some bad counsel."
Charles felt it too well that could never say something bad about the witch directly, so he had to give
him a hint politely.
Patrick was sleeping soundly in the master bedroom on the second floor.
His fever had gone down and he could vaguely hear his cell phone ringing a few times.
He frowned slightly and rubbed his temples with his right hand.
When he opened his eyes, he found that the master bedroom was silent.
‘’Where is she?’’
