Creak - The screeching sound of brakes was very harsh, and it lasted long.
It was not until a black Maybach appeared on the main road of the Hopkins family's mansion had
everyone realized that it was Derek who had the guts to drive into the Hopkins family...
The door was opened and a slander figure came out.
"Derek"
Charles was surprised, and he shouted first.
It was just a silhouette.
But who else could have such an apathetic temperament? Patrick was a little hesitant and his hand that
holding Christina tightly in his arm relaxed a bit.
It was almost at this moment that Christina got out of his arm.
"Auntie."
She threw herself on the floor in front of Betty.
Betty looked anxious.
She was a little bit happy seeing that Christina was in front of her, but she was also afraid that Christian
would escape, so she held Christina's shoulders tightly.
She then turned to look at Derek and said in an anxious voice, "Derek, hurry up Derek.Take Christina
with you.Let's go..."
"Derek!"
"It's really you, Derek..."
There were many voices in her ears, all filled with shock and disbelief.
Christina did not look up, but she knew it was him.
Her mind was in a mess, making her unable to think.
Betty grabbed her very hard as if she had grabbed the last straw.
Her shoulder blades hurt a little, and the pain told her that the thing that was happening was true.
..
Derek was finally back.
..
Auntie was very angry.
..
Auntie couldn't accept that she was pregnant with Patrick's child.
But why?
"Christina."
The soft voice sounded in her ear.
Derek gently held her up.
His movements were so natural as she and he had known each other so well a long time ago.
No one spoke, and everyone seemed to be speechless.
Only Betty hurriedly got up from the ground and put her hands in front of Christina, afraid that she
would be taken away by someone.
"Derek, Hurry up, let's go!"
After all, Betty was just a little woman.
Facing so many people in front of her, she was already nervous.
She lowered her voice and urged Derek anxiously.
Christina moved back obediently as if it was an instinctive reaction.
But when she raised her head and looked into Patrick's deep eyes, Christina's face turned pale.
She could not move.
Patrick just stood there.
Neither did he step forward, nor did he speak.
He did not look angry either.
Instead, he just stood there straight and looked at her calmly like an outsider.
He just saw her leave with someone else.
Charles and Chandler looked at each other in blank dismay.
They did not know what to do.
Although Senior Mr.Hopkins had a gloomy face, he did not say a word even when the car door was
slammed to close.
There were so many people out there, but no one stopped them from leaving.
Because the person who took Christina to leave was Derek.
"Derek, I don't know that you are a person who can go to any length.I really underestimated you in the
past, you bastard!"
Finally, it was Charles who couldn't help but curse angrily at the back of the car.
How could the festive party turn inte...
They drove all the way west.
Christina was surprised that they did not face any obstructions.
Derek looked straight ahead and drove at a steady rate, while she and Betty sat in the back.
None of them spoke, and it was very quiet in the car.
Christina kept her head down, tightly tugging at the hem of her pink cherry blossom maternity dresses
on both sides.
She looked a little reserved and confused.
She could feel that Betty was very angry, especially when she was looking at her bulging abdomen.
She wanted to say something, but at this moment, in the narrow space of the car, all the words were
drowned in her throat.
Suddenly, she had no courage to face it.
What did she do wrong? Her mind was in a mess.
Seeing the speeding cars flashing outside the window, for a moment, she wanted the car to not stop.
But about twenty minutes later, the car slowed down and entered a large group of villas in a rich area.
This was the center of east A City.
The land was priceless here, and this should be Derek's new residence.
She thought that Derek would take her back to F City, as she didn't expect his house to be so close to
the Hopkins family.
It was as if he was fearless.
The security here was perfect.
When they were parking in the garage, she saw a few famous a-listers passing by through the window.
Only rich or noble people could live here.
The first thought in her mind was that Derek was no longer the weak boy who would be bullied in the
past.
He was strong enough now.
The villa, which was more than 300 square meters, though was not comparable to the Hopkins’ villa,
which occupied tens of thousands of square meters on the hillside, was decorated exquisitely.
It was not luxurious but very warm.
Derek, who was in front of her, took out the key and opened the door.
Betty, with a cold face, dragged her right wrist and walked in the door without saying anything.
Christina found the decoration of the house a little familiar, as it looked like the one of the Dickens
family very much.
In fact, Derek knew better than she did that she hated the Dickens family.
But in her heart, she couldn't bear to part with the Dickens family and she often dreamed about the
time when she was still a child.
People were contradictory creatures.
The more they hated a thing, the more reluctant they were to part with it.
Sometimes they just don't want to admit it.
However, when Christina looked at the familiar decoration and the familiar relatives in front of her, she
didn't know what was wrong but felt very strange and nervous.
She felt that she was besieged as if she was waiting for a stern interrogate.
With a click, the door was closed.
