Since Christina saw Patrick at Fireworks Bar, she had never mentioned seeing him.
Crystal tried not to mention Patrick or the Hopkins family, nor the child, pretending that nothing had
happened and life was always peaceful Christina seemed to be getting better all of a sudden, no longer
depressed.
Sometimes, she would take the initiative to accompany Crystal to go to the grocery store.
Crystal was trying to nourish her.
Christina accepted her concern, so Crystal felt relieved.
Maybe Christina's condition was getting better, so Derek went out frequently, seeming to investigate
something.
He came home late and he left early, and sometimes he was too busy to come back.
"Now I'm going to the Stephenson family.If anything happens, call me immediately.We bought many
ingredients yesterday, so it's not necessary to go shopping today.There's pickled beef in the fridge for
our dinner” Crystal nagged again before she left, "Christina, will you be fine at home alone?"
"It's okay" She looked normal.
"Crystal, do what you have to do.Don't treat me like a useless."
Sitting at the table, she was eating breakfast seriously.She seemed to be annoyed to hear her nagging.
"Hey.You bad girl!"
Crystal complained morosely, closed the door, and went out.
Everything seemed to have gone back to normal.
It had been half a month since Christina saw Patrick.
Seeing her begin to refresh and put on fat, Crystal was happy.
Crystal was a nanny at the Stephenson family.
In fact, as soon as Patrick came back, she told Chandler to resign.
However, Geoffrey reclined, even threatening her with the labor contract, which said that she could not
quit within three months.
So she was detained by the black-hearted father and son and had to continue working there.
After all, she graduated with a master's degree from a famous university abroad.And they really had
her work as a nanny.
The naughty boy Geoffrey was hard to serve.
Like father, like son.
"Haven't grandparents, as visiting professors abroad, come back yet?"
Wearing a pinkish apron, rubber gloves, and a white square work cap, Crystal looked like a
housekeeper and she was trying to clean the tiles.
"Even if my grandparents come back, you can continue babysitting here.Don't worry” Geoffrey, looking
like a young master, had gotten a stool, sitting beside.
He seemed to like watching her work, with his big eyes on her for a long time.
Crystal turned to glare at him.What a naughty boy! Did he really think she wanted to be a coolie in his
house?
Geoffrey, didn't your teacher give you some new exercise books? Go back to your room."
It was annoyed to see him.
Though he was young, he always pissed her off.
"I'm waiting for you to cook for me."
"Didn't you eat a loaf of bread and drink a bottle of milk?"
Crystal threw the dirty rag into the bucket imposingly.
To go back early, she had to speed up.
How dare the kid trouble her? Geoffrey didn't seem to mind her imposing manner at all, looking at her
seriously.
"The teacher said it was a critical time to grow.Aunt Zhu, do you want to starve me?"
Aunt Zhu? Since when had he become so polite? Probably his father was in the study.
If Chandler wasn't at home, he would call her "stupid Crystal".
According to her own experience, Crystal preferred not to continue the conversation, because she was
usually exhausted in the end.
She cursed him in her heart, then took off her gloves and hat, and ran to the kitchen to prepare food for
him.
"It's terrible.Geoffrey may be full.Sitting at the table, he ate two small mouthfuls of noodles, and then
put down tableware, declining to eat.
"Then what do you want to eat?" Crystal was kind of angry.
But the kid looked at her with his pure eyes and said, "Why are you so impatient? You can't do this."
"Why not?"
"My dad doesn't like irritable women.You have to practice more."
Geoffrey took it for granted.
Crystal's face darkened.She decided to ignore the kid.She vividly remembered that the kids were
adorable and easy to coax.
What was happening to this world? Suddenly, Crystal thought that if Christina's twins weren't gone,
what would they be? Whether they were like Patrick or Christina, they would be especially cute and
fun.
"What are you thinking?"
Although Geoffrey liked to trouble her, he was smart.
Seeing her was thoughtful, he did not dare to fool around.
Instead, he asked her seriously, with some concerns in his childish voice.
"She's been quiet lately, looking normal, but abnormal.She wants simple happiness.Why is it so
difficult?"
Crystal was talking to herself.
The kid was sitting on the chair, dangling his short legs in boredom.
Such a complicated thing was beyond his reach.
Today Friday, the leading teachers in Geoffrey's kindergarten had a meeting, so he didn't go to school
today.
Usually, she had to pick him up before she could go home.
Today, Crystal quickly prepared lunch and dinner for them so she could go home early.
"I've prepared it.You can warm it in the microwave for dinner"
Geoffrey seemed to like pestering her and wanted to ask her to stay longer in a shameless way, but
Chandler came out of the study.
The kid immediately jumped off the chair excitedly and came to Chandler.
"Dad, there's a parent-child activity in kindergarten on Saturday.I know you're busy.So I think Aunt Zhu
could go with me."
Crystal turned around and saw Chandler's sick face.She frowned and asked subconsciously.
"Did you have a stomachache?"
She hadn't been to the Stephenson family for a while, as she had been concerned about Christina.
When she came today, she found that Chandler was sick.
"Have some noodles first.I'll get you some stomach medicine."
Crystal was quick.She knew well to look for the medicine in the cabinet.
"Stomach problems need more care.You're old enough to care about the diet.Besides, you should take
stomach medicine on time not when it hurts."
She almost became a housekeeper.
Chandler had a stomachache.He and Charles had been busy recently.
How could he take medicine on time? Geoffrey was tactful and immediately said loudly, "Dad, Aunt Zhu
is very good at taking care of people.Please let her go with me.She can do it well."
Chandler looked at his son expressionlessly.
It was rare to see him enthusiastic.
He rubbed his little head with his big hand.He warned his son meaningfully, "Don't overdo it.Or she'll
run away"
"She won't" Geoffrey smiled innocently.
Crystal handed the medicine over and looked at them.
The more she looked at them, the eviler they looked.
She said, "I'm not free tomorrow"
She planned to take Christina for a walk in the suburbs so that she could enjoy the blue sky and white
clouds more, and she would cheer up.
"How's Christina?"
Chandler seemed to know what was on her mind and asked calmly.
Crystal narrowed her eyes and sized up Chandler with some vigilance and cautions.
Because Chandler and Patrick were good friends, she was getting to hate him more and more.
"She's fine.Thank you for your concern!" Crystal said sarcastically.
Chandler knew why she kept a straight face.
He was amused by Crystal's angry words.
"Patrick has remembered something.He should recall everything soon."
Hearing the word "Patrick", Crystal immediately became angry.
She raised her voice and shouted, "As I said, Christina is fine, healthy, and normal.Everything is fine!"
Christina did behave normally and calmly.
She even bickered with her, but...
She didn't seem to trust anyone anymore.
