Spoil My Errant Wife

Chapter 209 

"Derek has turned the whole financial market upside down recently.You know what he wants to do...Christina, you'd better be aware of whose baby you are carrying,” Barbara satirized.

Christina gritted her teeth at her words dripping with sarcasm.She wanted to retort but suddenly saw a few figures rushing over.

"Young...Young Master Hopkins..."

The two maids in front of Christina fawned on Patrick.

Christina's face darkened as she stared at those in the front, silent.

But Barbara, who was preaching to her just now, turned obviously nervous.

Patrick never liked others to interfere in his private affairs.

"What's wrong?" the tall and strong man approached Christina and asked in a low voice.

Christina tilted her head to the lotus pool on the other side.

Recalling what Barbara had said just now, she ignored Patrick angrily and pulled a long face.

Clearly, she was out of her plate.

Originally, all the Hopkins family were in mortal fear of Patrick.

Only Christina dared to give him a black look.

In the beginning, even Nanny Faang was surprised by her boldness.

After getting along with Christina for a year, they somehow got accustomed to it.

Instead of pursuing, Patrick turned his deep eyes to her two new maids, hinting at them to speak.

The two poor girls' hearts had been in their boots by Christina these days.

Being stared at by their Young Master, they turned green around the gills and wished to explain the quarrel between Miss Parker and Junior Mrs.Hopkins, shivering.

"Christina, stop troubling Barbara.She didn't do that,"

Charles couldn't stand it and interrupted the strange atmosphere lazily.

Utterly discomfited, Christina glared at him.

"Who on earth was making trouble?" she complained only.

But judging from the imposing manner, it seemed that only Christina could be the one to blame.

"Barbara, Brianna is awaiting you in the hall," Chandler also came this day.

He spoke gently, much wiser than Charles that fool.

Barbara smiled awkwardly, "I was just walking around...I'll be right there."

Her explanation meant that she didn't come to Christina on purpose, but just passed by.

Christina knew that Barbara was acting.

Squinting at her receding figure, Christina got angry and cursed in the heart, "What a cheeky slut! Chandler also followed her gaze.He frowned slightly and wore dissatisfaction.They'd seen a lot of people.Barbara's petty trick didn't hold water.

Christina looked sideways at Patrick and found that his face was as cold as usual.

To Patrick, Barbara's explanation collapsed at the first blow.

"What did you have for breakfast?" Patrick asked.

Hearing the low voice from above, Christina kept a straight face: such a bromidic question went beyond her expectation.

She grasped the phone on the stone table in the pavilion, as if not wanting to reveal the content on the screen.

Barbara's mention of the Fisher family and Derek quite upset her.

Charles was dissatisfied that Christina still grudged friendliness even though Patrick had softened his tone.

"I'll transfer her to the filiale in Paris next month..."

Patrick continued in a low voice, sighing as if having compromised.

Christina's eyes lit up with surprise.

"Seriously?"

Charles questioned.

He turned his head sulkily and glanced at Christina, complaining with indication, "Barbara just argued with her for a while, not to such an extent as to be expelled abroad..."

How capricious was Patrick that he should casually determine to dispatch Barbara to Paris! Christina held her tongue, just letting Charles grumble.

She remembered that while cursing Barbara, her rival in love, together with Crystal, she was evilly plotting how to eliminate Barbara.

She disdained to snitch to Patrick about what Barbara had spoken ill of her.

Now that Barbara was doomed to disappear, out of sight and out of mind, Christina gloated.

Anyway, she was not a Virgin Mary.

It would be more disgusting if she pretended to put in a good word for Barbara.

"Miss Dickens, are you satisfied now?" Charles teased.

He sat down on the round stone chair beside and raised his eyebrows.

Christina was so furious that she had no idea how to vent her anger.

Seeing that Charles desired a spanking, she intended to bend down to roar at him, but stopped by the man beside her, saying "The stone chair is cold."

It was late autumn.

The stone table and stone chair made of white jade in the pavilion should be covered with a thick blanket.

Christina wasn't so weak as to be unable to stand any breeze, so she didn't mind such.

The two maids behind suddenly turned pale and lowered their heads, ready for rebuke as if they failed to take good care of their Junior Mrs, Hopkins.

Suddenly, Charles burst into laughter, "Ridiculous!"

Perhaps it was because Charles's laughter was too arrogant and funny that Chandler across the table also raised the corners of his mouth, so did Patrick, who usually kept a cold expression.

With a gloomy aura all over her body, Christina took a step ahead and kicked him mercilessly.

"Ouch-" Charles exclaimed.

"Son of a bitch! My new shoes...he continued screaming.Chandler chuckled, witnessing that Patrick naturally held Christina in his arms.She raised her eyebrows with a smug smile, fairly resembling Helen of Troy.

The autumn wind blew over the pavilion, listening to their loud laughter.

It dispelled the impatience in Christina's heart that there was indeed something she could not handle.

She could only tell herself to pretend not to know.

After Christina had lessoned Charles for half an hour, Nanny Faang trotted over and told her to go to the Main Residence for Senior Mr.Hopkins wanted her.

"Why is grandpa looking for me?"Christina asked.

Nanny Faang didn't anticipate that Patrick and the others were also in the back garden.

Little embarrassed, she stammered, "I don't know the details.

It might be related to the Young Master's birth banquet.

The lunch is delayed for an hour because Old Master has invited a lot of guests this morning..."

Charles and Chandler were also specially invited.

Who else did Old Master invite? Patrick didn't examine minutely and held Christina in his arms and went straight to the Main Residence.

Christina had no alternative but to follow him.

She didn't know what kind of guest her grandpa-in-law had invited on a whim this day.

Nanny Faang seemed busy, leading a few servants to the kitchen. NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

"Adam, your family is thriving.You have another great- grandson so soon.A girl is also satisfactory, heart-warming.Congrats!"

Senior Mr.Hopkins said.

When Christina entered the hall of the Main Residence, she saw Senior Mr.Hopkins sitting upright on the sofa, holding the phone as if chatting with an old friend.

Having got closer, she clearly saw that he was replying ina high spirit.

"There're only twins in my family.Hahaha...You must come,"

Senior Mr.Hopkins laughed.

Previously, Christina always heard the old steward gossip that those families welcoming a grandson would invite Senior Mr.Hopkins for meals with them.

Every time Old Master saw their cute grandson, he would immediately scold Patrick for being unfilial as soon as he came home.

This time, Senior Mr.Hopkins appeared confident, as if he had won a battle, laughing happily.

Charles and the others stepped forward and greeted him politely.

Senior Mr.Hopkins was in a good mood and waved at them to sit down.

He even made tea for his offspring in person.

Christina sat beside Patrick and looked around the spacious hall.

Judy and Brianna were both present, as if waiting for someone.
