After 12 am, it was the first day of the lunar new year.
According to the tradition of the Hopkins family, Senior Mr.Hopkins handed them a large stack of red
envelopes.
Of course, the twin babies had the largest red envelopes, and Patrick received two red envelopes from
his grandfather this year.
One of them was for Christina.
Patrick didn't sleep much last night.
Someone in the distance set off fireworks privately.
The fireworks were blooming in the night sky, which was beautiful and bright.
He stood in front of the french window and looked at them all night.
After the day he carried the children to the apartment to see Christina, she then went back to C City,
and he did not contact her either.
However, he clearly wanted to see her.
Patrick was not sure whether it was because of his male pride or not.
When facing Christina, he was quite different from his normal style.
In the past, if he wanted something, he would only care about the result.
However, this time, he had a lot of concerns and was afraid of being rejected.
Perhaps he was afraid of failure, just like he originally hid the children from her.He was used to
winning.He didn't know how to maintain a good relationship.
Although he went pretty smooth in the past, he would always meet troubles when dealing with things
related to her.
He was a little annoyed holding a big red envelope in the spacious luxury master bedroom in the
Eastern Garden.
When Nanny Fang knocked on the door and called out to him, Patrick came back to his senses.He
curled his lips a little bit, laughing at himself.
"Mr.Shepherd and Mr.Stephenson are here." She told him excitedly as soon as she saw him open the
door.
Patrick was surprised.
"Charles and Chandler?"
"Yes, Mr.Stephenson comes with his wife.She's Mrs.Hopkins’ good friend..." Crystal was here too.
"Didn't grandpa say he wouldn't receive any visitors?"
Nanny Fang smiled, "Senior Mr.Hopkins received a congratulatory call from Mr.Shepherd early in the
morning.They chatted happily and Senior Mr.Hopkins asked them to come over."
Mr.Shepherd was really likable and especially good at making people happy.
Charles had a cold war with Patrick a while ago.He must have other purposes to come to pay a new
year call on the first day of the lunar new year.
"Grandpa, can we go and see the babies?" Charles was drinking tea in the living room.
Finally, he couldn't help but ask the old man a little fawningly.
Senior Mr.Hopkins refused, "The children are still sleeping.They are too young now and need enough
sleep."
Crystal was also anxious and suggested with a low voice, "Grandpa, we would not say a word in the
nursery.Can we just take a look quietly?"
Senior Mr.Hopkins deliberately scolded her.
"Can you promise to only take one look? What If you stay there after taking two looks?"
Crystal was so nervous that she swore not to talk nonsense.
Why was it so difficult to communicate with Senior Mr.Hopkins? Crystal was born with a soft voice,
which was the type of granddaughter-in-law that Senior Mr.Hopkins was most satisfied with.
In fact, the reason that the Hopkins family adopted Brianna was that she was obedient and quiet, and
Senior Mr.Hopkins even planned to let Brianna marry Patrick when she grew up.
His grandson probably didn't like women who were too obedient, but the elders liked girls like Crystal,
as they were simple and quiet, and at least they would not cause a lot of trouble.
"Grandpa, I wish you a happy new year and good health."
Geoffrey also came with his parents.He was 6 years old and wore a custom-made blue suit.He was
very elegant and handsome.
"Good boy."
Senior Mr.Hopkins touched his little head and immediately called the butler to get the red envelope.
The old man's favorite thing was to send the red envelope to the children.
Geoffrey simply sat next to the old man, raised his head, and asked him curiously, "Grandpa, are my
brothers cute?"
"Of course they are cute." The old man looked very proud.
"How old are my brothers?" Geoffrey looked at him with childish curiosity.
The old man suddenly became excited.
"They're almost four months old.When they grow up and learn to walk, you can play with them."
At this point, Senior Mr.Hopkins was angry.
It was all because of Patrick that he could not hold the full moon banquet and the centenary banquet
for his little great-grandsons.
Geoffrey held the old man’s big, thick palm with his small, white hands and said to him with a very
innocent expression, "Grandpa, shall we go and see my brothers together?"
"I'll take you to see them, but you can't make noises, okay?" Senior Mr.Hopkins agreed without
thinking.
They walked excitedly to the nursery, leaving Charles and the others looking at each other in dismay.
"Chandler, your son is really cunning." Charles was a little jealous.
He even used the words "go together and have a look" He was this scheming at such a young age, and
it could be imagined what he would become when he grew up.
Crystal also complained.
"This old man is too stingy.He won't lose anything letting us take a look."
Chandler had already seen the babies before, so he was very relaxed at this moment.
He continued to make tea happily and did not forget to tease, "Since Patrick stole the babies out last
time, grandpa must have been more strict keeping the babies now.You just wait to see the short video
that Geoffrey secretly took."
Charles had given up.
When Patrick arrived in the living room, he heard them complaining.
Charles suspected that Patrick was guilty or he just wanted to do something good on the first day of the
new year.
Patrick unexpectedly agreed to take them to see the twins.
In an instant, Charles and Crystal forgot all the things they hated about Patrick, "Really?"
"They'll wake up soon."
"If you want to hug them, you have to be quick."
Patrick's voice was flat, but it seemed that he was planning some conspiracies.
"Can I really hug them?"
Crystal was so excited that her eyes were filled with gratitude.
Chandler felt his newlywed wife so naive as she was scolding Patrick hard last night.
Patrick took Charles and the others to the door of the nursery, and then he walked in without batting an
eyelid.
Of course, Senior Mr.Hopkins did not give him a good look.
The children were sleeping soundly, and no one dared to make a sound.
Patrick walked straight to the side of the bed, reached out, and quickly and accurately snatched the
empty bottle from the baby.
Then, the blue-eyed baby opened his eyes very immediately.
Patrick even shook the empty bottle in front of the baby.
The baby was stunned for a moment, and the next second, he cried loudly.The baby was wronged.
The other baby soon woke up and began to cry.
For a moment, the nursery was filled with the cries of children.
"Patrick!"
Senior Mr.Hopkins scolded angrily.
Crystal seized the opportunity and rushed in to pick up the child on the small bed.She petted the baby,
"Oh lovely baby, don't cry..."
Crystal was extremely satisfied hugging the soft little guy.She really wanted to steal it directly for
Christina.
However, this was just an idea.
With Senior Mr.Hopkins around, it was impossible to take the babies out.
In a few seconds, they were all kicked out of the nursery.
Before they left in a hurry, Chandler kindly suggested, "Patrick, if you're okay, log in to WhatsApp.We
often send short videos on it..."
