At 7 pm, everyone was busy preparing dinner, and Christina was pushed out of the kitchen.
Crystal warned her seriously, "Don't come in."
Christina was very confused.She was in her own home.
"..There are some people who only know how to make trouble"
Mr.Shepherd in the small living room immediately gloated.
Christina ignored him.
Instead, she curiously leaned closer to the kitchen door and looked carefully at the two people inside.
Crystal was cooking beef with green pepper, while Geoffrey handed Crystal soy sauce in a decent
manner...
The more she looked, the weirder she felt.She turned to the lazy Charles on the sofa.
"Hey, why does Chandler's son always pester Crystal?"
Charles raised his eyebrows and showed a strange expression when she asked.
It would date back to Christmas Eve a few days ago.
That day, he accompanied Geoffrey to C City to look for someone.
But they ended up tragically eating Christmas dinner at a fast-food restaurant on the highway.
Then he said something about Chandler's brother.
"This is a family photo of the Stephenson family."
After everyone was full, Chandler took Geoffrey to pee.
As soon as Charles saw Chandler's wallet on the table, he immediately showed the photo in Chandler's
wallet to Crystal.
Crystal was surprised to see the man in the photo who looked somewhat similar to Chandler.
"I have never seen a picture of his brother in the Stephenson family, but the two elders of the
Stephenson family have never mentioned it."
"Chandler Stephenson's brother died by accident.They were too sad at that time..."
"What was the accident? "
Perhaps Crystal was too unlucky.
As soon as she asked, Chandler came over with a gloomy face and grabbed his wallet back.
Crystal was then given a cold and sarcastic lesson.
"Miss Zhu, I don't think you have the right to know too much about my family affairs."
There were a lot of people in the fast-food restaurant.
Chandler had seldom been so out of character as to lecture people.
Crystal was scolded even though she did nothing wrong, but she lowered her head and did not dare to
refute.
Finally, they returned to the car, and no one chatted along the way.
Crystal got out of the car first.
She smiled reluctantly at that time maybe she was probably really sad.
She said, "We all have our own lives.I wish you a happy life"
Then she went back to her home.
What she actually meant was, go about your business and don't contact each other in the future.
Geoffrey and Chandler who were left in the car all had strange expressions.
Geoffrey accused his dad of going too far and had to go to apologize, but he was taken home by
Chandler.
"It's been so many years.Geoffrey is six years old.Even your parents have let go.Why can't you let go?"
"Are you going to live the rest of your life in a daze? It's rare to meet someone you like.Why don't you
have the courage to pursue happiness?"
Charles tried to persuade him.
But Chandler only said in a low voice after silence, "I don’t deserve to be happy."
"Why do you say that...Can you really control yourself?"
Charles muttered as he thought.
"What are you mumbling about?"
Christina walked over and looked at the thoughtful look on Charles's face.
She guessed and asked, "Hey, let me ask you, why is Chandler's son pestering Crystal? Did Chandler
do something wrong to Crystal?"
Charles came back to his senses.He looked up and snorted angrily.
"Christina, don't get close to me!"Charles said coldly, "Stay away from me.Don't talk to me."
Christina's face darkened and she was about to lose her temper but she endured it.
It was for Geoffrey's sake that she didn't kick Charles out of the room.
In the kitchen, without Christina messing around, Crystal quickly finished dinner.
Geoffrey was very obedient and helped set the dishes.
Charles and Christina could just wait for them to eat.
Crystal made an ordinary home- cooked meal with five dishes and a soup, which was not only looked
good, smelled good, but tasted good.
Crystal first spooned a small bowl of Stewed Black chicken soup with Astragalus for them, "Drink half a
bowl of soup first, then eat...The soup is suitable for winter..."
Geoffrey held the spoon in his little hand and looked happy.
Christina didn't have to care about table manners at home.
"I want a big bowl of it!"
She held the bowl in her arms and ate like crazy.
"I will also look for a virtuous wife with good cooking skills in the future..." Charles also praised.
When he turned around and saw Miss Dickens beside him, he was immediately shocked.
"Christina, Don't tell me this is how you eat when you were in the Hopkins family..""
"It's none of your business."
Christina didn't like people mentioning the Hopkins family.She glared at him,"These commoners’ food
can't get into your stomach.You'd better go to the side and let us eat."
Charles was so eager to protect the food that he unfolded his hand to stop her from grabbing it and
ended up tearing the injury on his shoulder.
The pain caused him to change his face.
"Charles, how's your shoulder?"
Seeing that Charles was too pained to hold his chopsticks, Crystal asked with concern, "Didn't you
apply the ointment in the medicine box just now? That works."
"He didn't because he said the ointment smelled too bad."
Geoffrey immediately betrayed Charles.
Charles had no strength to scold Geoffrey now.
He covered his right shoulder with his left hand.He endured the pain and did not shout out.
"You're really useless."
Christina stood up first, she complained as she was about to help him up, "How cana man to be so
weak."
"Who did it!"
Charles raised his head and cursed.
There was still some cold sweat on his forehead.It seemed that he was really in pain.
Christina said awkwardly, "Let's go to the hospital"
"No" She asked again coldly, "Are you not going?"
"I said no!"
Charles was stubborn.
A minute later, Crystal and Geoffrey calmly drank the soup by the side.
Then they watched Christina angrily grab the back collar of Charles and drag him all the way to the
sofa.
Then Christina stood in front of him and took off his shirt...
"You, you..."
Charles was shocked and stared at the woman in front of him as she undressed him.
Was this considered harassment on a man? Charles was so shocked that he forgot to struggle.
It was not until Christina applied the ointment on his bruised right shoulder that he felt the sharp pain.
"Ah - She's killing me!!"
"Christina...Ah, you, stop...Ah -"
Charles roared in pain.
The more Christina listened, the more impatient she became and the more strength she used to apply
the ointment on his shoulder.
Crystal and Geoffrey looked at each other and felt extremely sympathetic to Charles.
"We, we will see!!"
After a round of suffering, Charles was covered in cold sweats, and even the collar of his shirt was
almost wet.
He was breathing heavily as if he were half dead and even lost the strength to scold Christina.
"Does it hurt that much?"
Christina packed up the medicine box and turned to glare at him.
"Derek had never screamed like you before.After wiping the bruises away, you will be fine soon.You're
really troublesome."
Charles had been taught a lesson by Christina and didn’t know how to refute her.He lost his temper all
of a sudden.
Geoffrey obediently brought Charles half a cup of warm water and Charles drank it quickly.
Crystal was curious.
"Christina, Did you often heal Derek's wounds?"
"He used to be covered in bruises when he was a kid at the Fisher family."
Christina told them that Derek had no friends, and no one would take him to the hospital, and she was
the one who took care of all his injuries.
Charles drank half a glass of water and regained his breath, "Shouldn't you avoid that now then? You're
not kids anymore."
She was the only one who could strip aman! "Don't be surprised"
Christina glanced at him.
"I'm used to it, and Derek is very clingy."
Crystal was surprised.
"Derek can't be clingy, can he?" Christina was silent for a moment.
Her expression was a little strange as if she was sighing but more helpless.
"..That's because you've never seen him when he has a high fever."
