Spoil My Errant Wife

Chapter 205:

Senior Mr.Hopkins was trying to communicate with his precious grandson! Christina cringed and Patrick huffed a laugh.

"The baby can hear us.You two behave!"

The old man walked around and suddenly felt that he should prepare a study so that his grandson could grow up among classics.

With this on his mind, he left the couple and went downstairs to make a detailed plan with the butler.

"Grandpa is really happy.' Christina laughed, staring after the old man who was rocketing downstairs.

"Grandpa likes children very much.'

"What about you? Do you like children?"

She looked up at him and asked casually.

Patrick was thrown by her question.

The word "like" was really strange to him just like sorry.' He barely said these words. This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Perhaps because the sudden appearance of the old man had lightened the mood, Christina was less tense now and wore a slight smile.

She looked down at the tips of her shoes as she spoke.

"You were forced to marry me by your grandfather due to the unintended pregnancy...' She said quietly.

They were together because of the baby.

She paused and hesitated.

At last, she said, "I know you feel guilty about Derek and care about everything pertaining to him and the Fisher family.I'll talk to him about you and me.He won't blame you.Actually, he and I..."

"I didn't marry you for the baby."

He interrupted her in a hurry.

Christina gazed at him and pursed her lips.

The silence dragged on between them and Patrick continued surprisingly.

"I owe him.I'll make it up for him."

"I'll give him whatever he wants."

Patrick sounded firm as if he was making a vow.

He would give Derek everything except her and the baby.

Christina left the baby's room later.

She'd heard every word Patrick had said and been too dumbfounded that she'd forgotten to tell him that she'd engaged with Derek only because her grandfather wanted it.

She'd seen it in his eyes that he had too much on his shoulders, the Hopkins family, IP&G Group, and morals.

He was in a tiring position.

She felt eager to do something or say something to make him happy and relaxed, but she was not good at sweet talks and didn't know how to please a man.

She didn't feel hungry when Nanny Faang brought the lunch to her bedroom so she just had a little, planning to have a nap.

Before Nanny Faang left after clearing the table, she couldn't help but stop her.

"Have Patrick and the others eaten?"

The door of the bedroom was ajar and vague voices in the corridor were heard.

"The results came.That bracelet made of amethyst indeed belonged to Barbara and she said that she happened to have lost it last week"

"As for the takeout, the Gordon Hotel looked into it and said that someone ordered the fried rice without eggs...It seems that Derek knew her preferences very well."

It was Chandler and Charles's voice.

Christina stood very still behind the door until the voices faded.

She heard the door closing when they entered Patrick's study.She felt annoyed.She didn't understand why Patrick and the others trusted Barbara so much that they tended to make Derek bear all the blame.She tossed and turned on her bed during the nap.She had many bizarre dreams that sent her mind reeling.

Something abruptly came to her mind at three o'clock and she hurried up from her bed.

She streaked to the study and slapped on the door.

Charles was to snipe at her when he opened the door but Christina didn't give him the chance.

She rushed straight in front of Patrick and scowled at him.

"Where is my necklace?" She asked angrily.

Patrick was at a loss about what was going on.

"The chance necklace with rubies.Nanny Faang said you took it away.How could you take back something you already gave me? Return it!"

She sounded pissed at last.She'd had a bad sleep and was in a foul mood.

"I didn't say I didn't like it.You can't give it to other women.It's mine!"

He'd never said "like" to her.

She'd never said "not like" to him either! Patrick took out an exquisite velvet box from the drawer and put it on the table.

He looked up at her and was surprised.

Then a faint smile lit up his face.

He's been too strained lately and felt relieved all of a sudden.
