Outside, black clouds were rolling over in the sky, and the wind blew so violently that the branches
shook and pulled.
The fallen leaves and dust were swept up by the wind, and it was dark outside.
And the golden lightning suddenly lit up the dark sky, followed by a rumble.
The thunder was deafening, and the night was very terrifying.
Christina looked out of the window, feeling uneasy.
"The weather is so bad.It looks like a typhoon..."
It was not appropriate to go out tonight.
The wind had been blowing since the morning, and the clouds were heavy and low.
It was unexpected that it hadn't rained until evening.
The thick clouds seemed to be brewing a fierce storm.
She then reached out and closed all the windows and curtains in the bedroom.
As soon as she turned around, she remembered something else and called out, "Patrick"
The bedroom was quiet.
And it seemed even quieter because of the thunder outside.But Patrick didn't respond.
"Patrick!"
She then suddenly became anxious and hurried over.
When she saw him still sitting by the bed, she breathed a sigh of relief and complained, "Patrick, I am
calling you, didn't you hear?"
Until she stood in front of him, he looked up and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?"
"I've called you three times!"
Christina then leaned down and looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"I'm thinking about something."
He seemed to say it casually, turning his head away, and he then added quickly in his usual calm voice,
"Something about the company."
"About the company? But why do I feel that you are hiding something from me?"
He must lie! She didn't finish her words.And she just looked straight into his eyes and she became
more nervous and panicked.
She then raised her voice and shouted at him angrily, "I told you before, whenever I call you, you must
answer me! Patrick, don't you dare to forget.You, you can't ignore me.."
He detected the upset in her voice.
Christina was like this.
Even if she was timid, she would only remind him that he could never ignore her.
Only she dared to speak to him like this, and he would subconsciously indulge her willfulness.
He just wanted her to do whatever she wanted.And he did not want her to be wronged.Under his
protection, she could be unscrupulous and carefree.
"When did I ignore you?"
He then reached out and pulled her to sit on his legs.He looked at her, seeing that her angry
expression had become hesitant.
Actually, she would express all her emotions and now she was really at a loss.
"Something went wrong in the company" He looked into her eyes and whispered, "I'm telling you the
truth."
"Then when we had breakfast this morning, were you thinking about this too?"
"Yes."
This time, he turned his gaze away.
Hearing his words, she was skeptical.
But soon she tilted her body and put her hands around his neck.
Looking at him, she couldn't help but feel sad for no reason.
Maybe he was really tired recently.
"My aunt cooked dinner for me last night.We sat together and enjoyed dinner.It was a very ordinary
home-cooked meal."
Now she calmed down and then told him these things.She didn't know why she would say that.
But she just wanted to tell him.
"My auntie told me a lot.She said that I was not worthy of people like you.I'll be wronged if I marry
you..."
His body became a little tense.
But she didn't seem to be dispirited while speaking.
She then added, "When I first married into the Hopkins family, I was indeed worried"
Right now, she buried her head on his left shoulder.
His shoulders were broad and reassuring.
And he was fine she had taken his temperature with a thermometer just now.
"Look, even the famous Mr.Shepherd in A City has been bullied by me all day.Why should I be worried
anymore?"
At this point, there was a hint of mischief in her words.
Because she later understood that this family was really strange and restrained to her, but she knew
that Patrick would always support her.
No matter what she did or said wrong, he would be there to help her.
With him, why should she be worried and timid? He did not expect her to say this to him, nor did he
understand what she meant by that.
The love between men and women was too complicated for him, but when he heard this, he was quite
surprised and happy.
She was not good at saying those sweet words.
And at this time, her cheeks turned red and she raised her head to pretend to be serious.
"Are you hungry? Should I ask Nanny Faang to bring dinner up now..."
"No need"
"But you just had some porridge for breakfast."
She didn't believe that he was not hungry.
"I don't want to eat now.Maybe later..."
He really didn't know how to take good care of himself.
But as he spoke, he felt a sharp pain in his head.
His face soon turned pale.
But he gritted his teeth to endure the pain.
"Do you have a headache?"
She noticed that he frowned and immediately stood up from his laps.
And her voice became more serious.
Perhaps knowing that she was very worried about him, he was touched and nodded.
This time, he did not hide his fragility.
"Lie on the bed.I'll get you medicinal ointment to massage your head."
She was not surprised that he would have a migraine.
The doctor had said that he was too tired from staying up late and working overtime.
But it usually didn't affect his daily life much.
She was relieved.
After all, migraine was not a serious illness.
Later, she slowly learned to massage his head with medicinal ointment to ease his pain.
"Feeling better?"
She was not a gentle lady, but she worked hard to be a good wife for him.
Patrick felt a little better with her soft fingers gently pressing on his temples and the effects of the
ointment.
Especially since his wife did not pinch him as she used to, it was really gratifying.
"If you're tired, you can sleep for a while.When you wake up, I'll ask Nanny Faang to bring dinner here."
"Okay?"
It had been a long time since they had such a quiet and peaceful time last time.
The wind was howling outside, and there were lightings, but at this time, a rare warmth loomed the
bedroom.
"Patrick, you promised that you would take me to the boxing club, and also shooting and horseback
riding club.Once I give birth, I want to go."
"You have to have a confinement first." He refused instantly.
This was the common sense.
"Then I'll go after the confinement.That club's annual membership dues are so expensive.As the boss's
wife, I must experience these games myself"
While speaking, she unbuttoned his shirt, revealing his strong chest.
Her soft hands were rubbing his skin.The man lying on the bed did not say anything, only looking
straight at her flirtatiously.
She then glared at him.
It was to ease his pain.
What was he thinking? Then she continued to discuss with him in a good mood.
"By the way, our sons can't be too sissy.I want them to learn more skills when they were little.My
grandfather has said that only when a person can protect himself can he have the ability to protect the
people he cares."
Yet her words made him nervous.
She felt his body tremble slightly and then asked quickly, "What's wrong? Is it pain?"
"Nothing."
His voice was a little hoarse and he shook his head quickly.
And he had changed the subject.
"Your grandfather General Eisenhower and my grandfather have similar temperaments"
"Yes, they both have bad tempers."
She thought for a moment and then asked casually, "Logically speaking, my grandfather and your
grandfather are about the same age.They should know each other even if they are not close
friends.But why does the Eisenhower family have no contact with the Hopkins family before?"
"Is it because our two families are in different fields and we don't have to establish a relationship? Or is
it because your Hopkins family is too arrogant that my grandfather doesn't want to be related with your
family?"
"Hey, Patrick, tell me..."
At this point, he was slowly falling asleep, and he could not hear clearly what she said.
But he only felt good to hear her voice.
"Christina, l, it's good for us to live like this for the rest of our lives."
He was probably really tired.And he closed his eyes and said softly.
"Like this? What do you mean?"
She couldn't keep up with him.But he didn't explain.
He was exhausted and wanted to rest.
This thought flashed across his mind.
He suddenly felt that it was good for him to spend the rest of his life with her.
"Patrick."
"Patrick?"
"Patrick Hopkins!"
Christina stood stiffly by the bed.
Suddenly, her face turned pale.She shouted in horror.And she called him three times.
Yet he didn't respond.
