Spoil My Errant Wife

Chapter 194 

"Derek won't hurt me" Charles asked in a rage, "Did Patrick hurt you?"

Christina was in a daze and remained silent.

There had been too many things happening recently.She was in adisturbed state of mind and wanted a break.

Christina got up from the sofa and walked past Charles.She didn't want to talk about it anymore.

Charles watched her leave and his face darkened.He shouted angrily.

"You also think that Patrick is a heartless person.You've been with him for nearly a year.Don't you know what kind of person he is? Others say that he is cruel and heartless, but you, Christina, you can never say that!"

Couldn't she say that?

[What kind of person was Patrick?]

[No one knew him.No one knew what Patrick was up to.] Christina slowly walked out of the Eastern Garden and strolled along the corridor.

The lotus pond and other vegetation failed to attract her attention.

Along the way, she kept thinking about the rumours she had heard before.She had heard a lot of rumours about Patrick.

However, she knew very little about him.

"He has deliberately hidden it.How could I know..."

Muttering to herself, Christina looked at the huge backyard of the Hopkins family in a daze.

"Did something happen recently?"

Suddenly, Christina heard a voice behind her.

Christina originally thought it was Charles who ran after her.

After she recognised the voice, she was a little confused.

"What's up?"

She didn't answer, but asked coolly.

It was Paul, the butler.

He had worked in the Hopkins family for nearly 30 years, mainly serving Senior Mr.Hopkins' daily life.

Paul was very modest, but he had a say in not only the Hopkins family but also the company.

Actually, the members in the Hopkins family were not as difficult to get along with as outsiders said.

Christina just thought she couldn't get used to their lives, because she felt there were some barriers between her and the Hopkins family.

Paul noticed that she was not in a good mood.

Since she was unwilling to say it, Paul didn't inquire and went straight to the point.

"The baby room has been furnished.Senior Mr.Hopkins and his wife are in the Northern Garden.They want you to see if there is anything else that needs to be changed."

Christina was a little surprised that Paul came for her for the baby room.

Earlier, the Hopkins family had already found workers to knock down the walls between every two individual rooms on the third floor of the Eastern Garden.

And now the third floor was a baby room like a children's play center.

However, Senior Mr.Hopkins felt that the two hundred square meters was not enough for his grandson.

So he found a construction team to change a guest room in Northern Garden into a baby room, so that his grandson could often rest at there.

"Everyone is expecting your first baby:" Paul smiled kindly.

"It's been a long time since Senior Mr.Hopkins was so happy.He personally supervised the construction of the baby room.And he talked to the designers about the environmental protection materials, color matching, and the baby's safety for a long time.The baby room is perfect but Senior Mr.Hopkins seems unsatisfied.He said it could be better..."

"They are still discussing some details.Senior Mr.Hopkins worries too much and those designers are helpless.By the way, Senior Mrs.Hopkins and Miss Hopkins bought baby clothes and toys yesterday and they are decorating the room there.What about taking a look..."

Christina listened quietly.

In fact, she could feel the enthusiasm of the whole Hopkins family for the birth of the heir even if she did not go there.

As far as Christina knew, Senior Mr.Hopkins didn't like Judy, but they chatted more now because of Christina's baby.

Suddenly, she thought of Patrick.

Patrick's attitude towards their baby seemed to be much colder than others.He might not like children.

Christina didn't want to go to the Northern Garden.She was in a disturbed state of mind and wanted to stroll in the back garden.

"They can make the decision.I want to stay here." Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Paul was a little surprised, "You don't want to go? But the designers want to refer to your ideas."

"They can make the decision.I don't know much about this."

Paul did not force her.

Senior Mr.Hopkins had ordered that Christina's happiness was the Hopkins family's priority because she was going to give birth in a month.

No matter what Christina asked for, the Hopkins family could satisfy her.

But Christina asked for nothing.

Recently, Christina had become much more silent than before.

They guessed that she might have quarreled with Patrick.

"Mrs.Hopkins, though you and Young Master Hopkins have some conflicts, you are going to give birth.It's not good for the child if you two don't get along..."

Paul watched Christina stroll aimlessly along the corridor and suddenly shouted.

"Have you ever been to Young Master Hopkins' study?"

Christina had heard a lot of those.

Nanny Faang reminded her almost every day, asking her to avoid negative emotions.

Otherwise, the baby might be affected.

As for Patrick's study, Christina had been there once but she sneaked in.

When he found out, he flew into a rage and scolded her.

Charles was probably left in a rage, and no one else disturbed her.So she took a quiet walk.

However, she unintentionally walked to the Eastern Garden.

Patrick's study was on its second floor.

The door of the study was unlocked.

Christina pressed the doorknob with a surprised expression.She remembered that his study was locked when she tried to sneak into his study again.

Unlike the last time she searched his study, this time she was more curious.She pushed the door open, but found there was no one inside.

Christina looked around.

The documents and computer on the big wooden desk in front were neatly arranged.

On the right, there were five large bookcases filled with all kinds of books.

On the left, there was a sofa and coffee table.

Beside them, there were two shade-loving plants.

Behind them, there were bright French window and a wide balcony.

The study was simple and solemn.

The Hopkins family's servants cleaned up the study every week.

But only Nanny Faang and a few maids Patrick trusted could come in, because there were a lot of confidential documents in the study.

Christina slowly walked in, looking around curiously.

Last time, she sneaked in.

She was so guilty and didn't notice that there was a door beside the bookshelf.

Through it, Patrick could enter a guest room.

Patrick usually rested here if he didn't go back to his bedroom.

Christina almost knew nothing about Patrick.

He said too little to her.

And she didn't ask much either.

Was their relationship affectionate, normal or indifferent? Christina herself didn't know the answer.

She turned around and wanted to leave, lest Patrick sensed that she had come.

However, when she turned around, she glanced at the wooden office table in front of her and stopped.

"What a Father Needs to Know?"

Christina's eyes lit up.She walked forward, grabbed the book on the table, and flipped through it several times.

"A parenting book?"

She looked down at the stack of books next to the computer.

He even read books about postnatal care.

She sat in his chair and flipped through them one by one.

Patrick had prepared so many types of books, including the books about diet precautions during pregnancy, about the delivery, and about how to take care of a novice mother's emotion.

Christina was amused by those books.

She never thought that Patrick would read these books in his study.

He was also very nervous to be a father.
