"Christina, you can communicate with him when both of you are in conflict"
Crystal stopped, grabbed her, and tried to persuade her.
"Couple? I've been wondering if he and I were even a couple."
She held back her emotions and slightly smiled with self- deprecation.
Couple? He kept things from her.
Barbara and others all knew these things.
But she was not qualified to ask him.
She was only a woman who would give birth to his child.
Charles and others were his friends and Barbara was an excellent executive in his company.
What was she? She wasn't allowed to do anything but give birth to a child.
She bit her lips and smiled bitterly.
"Actually, I knew from the start that I couldn't be a good match for him..."
Crystal was shocked to hear these words when she noticed Christina's eyes were red.
As Christina turned her head to look behind, a man stood there and watched them.
Crystal hesitated and said, "Patrick should have come to see you himself.You just left home in this way,
which made him humiliated...Don't argue with him"
Christina looked at him without saying a word, with half- lowered eyes and a complicated
expression.Arguing with him?
"Why do they think I am always the one who make a scene"
And then a clear voice came from behind, "Patrick, we still have a meeting this afternoon..."
Although the hotel lobby was spacious, the sound was loud enough for them to hear clearly.
"I can't believe you're still here, Crystal.Do you really want to be kicked out by the security personnel?"
Christina forced herself to smile and strode towards the emergency exit before Crystal could react.
"Christina, wait for me..."
Crystal couldn't mind other matters and immediately followed Christina.
They quickly walked between the luxurious hotel lobby and quickly disappeared into the sea of
people...
The man behind them frowned and glared fiercely in the direction where they had disappeared.
His lips were pursed tightly and his face was gloomy.
"Who is that woman..."
Seeing that the atmosphere was tense, Erica at the table asked Barbara in a low voice.
"My wife" Patrick said coldly.
Erica looked at him in shock with the pale face.
"No matter what, you and he have already obtained a marriage certificate.Legally, you are his wife..."
Crystal caught up with Christina and persuaded her, "I think Patrick is tender in front of you.When
you're not in the company, our executives are scared of him.When noticing Patrick's grim expression in
the meeting, they always hesitate for a while before they speak...He cares about you..."
In fact, it was the fact that a woman marrying into a family of higher classes would feel humble, let
alone Hopkins Family.
Christina didn't want to talk to Crystal about it and changed the subject.
"Crystal, do you think that good women usually meet playboys while gentle men mostly marry women
who are not content with what they have..."
"I think so."
"So, either Patrick is a playboy, or I'm this kind of woman."
Christina smiled self-deprecatingly.
Crystal raised her eyebrows and glared at Christina angrily.
"Knowing how to smile proves that you are fine.I'm really worried about you."
Christina was light-hearted.
It was not like her to lose her temper over a small matter.
"Crystal, if you don't let me stay at your home today, I will really be homeless."
"Don't make it so sad..."
Though Crystal's blind date had been ruined, they bought bags of clothes in the East Mall and went
home happily.
Since Christina stayed at Crystal's house for a week, there were her pajamas and toothbrushes.
Christina felt that the place was more comfortable and warmer, not as cold as the Hopkinses.
"Crystal, the last time you said your mom and the others wanted you to sell the apartment and save
money for your brother to get a new one.How is it going? It's been solved, right?"
Christina came back after dining with Crystal.
Christina brushed her teeth and lay down on the bed, stretching her limbs and getting ready to sleep.
Crystal took out a new pillow from the closet and threw it at her.
Immediately, Crystal climbed into bed and the two women huddled together to talk about their daily life.
"That matter has been solved.Probably the last time Simon was scared by Patrick and didn't dare to
provoke me..."
Crystal said and looked at Christina.
"Aren't you going to call your husband?"
Christina became grim and did not speak.
"Hey, don't live in my house for a week like last time."
Crystal was depressed.
"I may have to stay here until my baby is born..."
Christina said slowly, lay down on the bed, pulled the quilt, and was going to sleep.
"You are going to stay here!"
Crystal was too scared to sleep.
..We agreed that innocent people, like me, wouldn't get hurt in your couple's quarrel! Crystal coaxed
her,
"Christina, it will be the Dragon Boat Festival tomorrow.It is suitable for family reunion..."
Christina could only sleep sideways with a big belly.She held the quilt and opened her eyes.In fact, she
was not sleepy.
"Dragon Boat Festival..."
Before that, she had planned to give Patrick a present at the Dragon Boat Festival...
Maybe he didn't care.
