In the corner of this magnificent and spacious hall in Hopkins family, the antique clock made a deep
sound.
It rang exactly 12 times, indicating that it was 12:00 am.
Usually, the lunch had already started, but today, a row of people were sitting in the hall chatting.
Obviously, they were waiting for someone.
Christina did not ask who had been invited, because she had been very upset recently.
Listening to Barbara and Charles talking and laughing beside her, she kept looking down at her toes
and thinking about other things.
"Grandpa, what name are you gonna give the two babies?"
"It's a big deal, so I haven't decided yet..."
The babies in her belly were the topic of their discussion.
The whole Hopkins family was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
Christina did not know what was wrong with her.
As an expectant mother, she was not that excited, but nervous.
Suddenly, a big palm was gently put on her abdomen.
Christina raised her head in shock and looked at the man beside her, "Is there anything wrong?"
Christina thought he had something to tell her, but Patrick didn't say anything.
His eyes were as deep as the sea, always hard to see through.
His big palm touched her abdomen and sensed the new lives.
He didn't care about the eyes around him at all.
Christina blushed slightly and lowered her voice, "Stop it"
In the past, Patrick used to say this to Christina when he was teased by her, but now it was Christina
that said this to him.
Somehow, there was joy in his eyes.
Christina felt that Patrick really liked to tease her more and more recently.
He was so childish.
However, he was really in a good mood these days.
It seemed that Senior Mr.Hopkins thought his grandson had humiliated him.
He snorted coldly and glanced at Patrick with disdain.
The atmosphere in the hall was good, and Charles occasionally made jokes, making everyone laugh.
Charles sighed, "I'm going to be a godfather."
Christina could not help but laugh.She didn't expect Senior Mr.Hopkins agreed to let Charles be the
godfather of her children.
Why didn't he choose Chandler? At least Chandler was more reliable.
"Grandpa, the education should start as early as possible."
"Well.When they're one month old, I'll teach them..."
They were chatting enthusiastically.
Patrick, the father-to-be, seemed to have no opinion of his children's education.
Christina felt that the children's father was unlikely to take care of them personally.
However, if Senior Mr.Hopkins knew that Patrick was going to take his great-grandchildren to the other
side of the Pacific Ocean, he might be so angry that he would directly hit Patrick with his walking stick.
"After the babies are born, you just go to the United States with Patrick..."
Senior Mr.Hopkins seemed to have remembered something, and his face became a little more serious.
Christina was surprised by his words.
She didn't expect grandpa to know that Patrick was going to America.
Senior Mr.Hopkins raised his eyebrows, saw through her thought and snorted, "The children will stay in
the Hopkins family:"
He said that with a serious tone, making Christina unable to reject.
She did not dare to show dissatisfaction.She just sighed.
As expected, even if Patrick was powerful, Senior Mr.Hopkins would always find a way to deal with him.
Christina secretly tugged at Patrick's clothes and motioned for him to deny Senior Mr.Hopkins's order.
But Patrick was expressionless as if he thought it was a wise decision to leave the children to his
grandfather.
Christina glared at him sideways and began to negotiate gloomily, "Grandpa, it's not good for me to be
separated from my sons, is it?"
She didn't have a big problem with her children staying in the Hopkins family, but she wanted to fight for
the rights of a mother.
Patrick had said that they would stay in the United States for almost one year.
Senior Mr.Hopkins seemed to have planned for her a long time ago.
He answered in a good mood, "You can video with my great-grandsons, but the electronic radiation
may do harm to the children.
Just see them once a month.' Christina's expression was ferocious for a moment.
She scolded in her heart, 'Damn it”
It was true that veterans were abler than recruits.
Seeing that Christina was deflated, Senior Mr.Hopkins laughed insidiously.
Senior Mr.Hopkins was satisfied with Christina.
Although as his granddaughter-in-law, she was not as dignified as a fair lady, she was brave and had a
strong sense of knowledge and etiquette.
The most important thing was that Senior Mr.Hopkins could use her to suppress his rebellious
grandson.
When a person reached old age, he only wanted to enjoy the harmony of the whole family.
When Christina married Patrick, in fact, Senior Mr.Hopkins had a sense of relief and gratitude in his
heart.
He turned to look at the clock, finding that it was 12: 30.
At this moment, Nanny Faang came over and whispered in Judy's ear, as if she was talking about the
arrangement of the seating order.
Judy was the first lady of the Hopkins family, so she was supposed to arrange these family affairs.
She spoke to Senior Mr.Hopkins in a dignified and generous manner and quickly followed Nanny
Faang into the kitchen.
"Grandpa, what distinguished guest did you invite?" Barbara asked with a smile.
