Spoil My Errant Wife

Chapter 217 

Patrick came out of the bathroom of club.Just now, he had boxing with Charles, but he was still very upset.He put on the clothes that the club had specially prepared for him.

It was a tailored dark purple shirt.

His outstanding figure revealed a low-key nobility and his short hair was still dripping.He looked at the uninvited guest with a cold expression.It was Cory.

Patrick did not have much emotion in his eyes.

He sat directly in the booth next to Chandler and read the information on the computer screen.

He completely pretended that the guest did not exist.

"Cousin, I have something important to tell you today!"

Cory was angry.

Patrick still ignored him as before.

Charles had just been beaten up, and his body was pained.

He leaned lazily against the booth and glanced at Cory.

He thought Cory was another reckless person.

Even if Patrick didn't say anything, his cold aura should have told him that he was in a bad mood at the moment.

It was better not to bother him now.

When they saw Cory, he and Chandler both wanted to kick him out, but they had a sinister idea.

Patrick was still angry, so it was good to take his anger out on Cory.

The club was closed today.

There was an echo in the huge space. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

The cold space was very quiet at this time, with only the sound of the keyboard.

Patrick was busy browsing through the information on the screen, still ignoring his cousin.

Cory looked a little worried.

He took a big step forward and raised his voice angrily.

"Patrick, I'm here to see you today!"

He didn't want to call him cousin anymore since Patrick, the talented son of the Hopkins family, had never taken his relatives seriously.

Cory's sound was probably a little loud and annoying.

Only then did the man in the booth raise his head slightly and glanced at Cory unhappily, ready to throw him out.

"Why haven't you been working at the headquarters of IP&G Group recently? My mother said you took a year off.Why?"

Seeing that Patrick finally looked at him, Cory asked the main point directly.

"Cory, you came all the way here to care about your cousin.It's arare scene.’ Charles teased and gloated at the side.

Cory had become more steady in the past six months.

He used to be too competitive and always liked to compare with his cousin but always lost badly every time.

After Christina's matter, he became more steady.

He ignored Charles's provocation and looked straight at Hopkins family's only grandson.

He repeated, "Why did you take such a long leave?"

The Hampton family annoyed him, so he had been running out for the past six months and only came back from Munich last month.

His mother, Laurie, was happy to tell him that grandpa had personally ordered Patrick to leave all the business of the IP&G Group.

In the following whole year, several vice presidents, his mother, and other aunts were in charge of the whole group's business.

This was unusual.

"Patrick, are you sick?"

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been idle for so long.

The man in the booth who was browsing the computer screen paused.

Charles, who was sitting in the opposite seat, raised his eyebrows.

It seemed that Cory was not so stupid.

"I found out that Christina's aunt went to Hopkins family to make a big fuss yesterday, and Betty took her away..."

Cory continued, and when the man who had completely ignored him heard Cory mention the name Christina, he suddenly became angry and showed a cold expression.

Cory clearly saw Patrick's angry and said proudly, "It seems that Christina's aunt doesn't like you at all"

Patrick closed his laptop impatiently and looked up coldly, "Don't force me to do something about your Hampton family business."

Even if he didn't participate in the IP&G Group, it would be easy for him to take down a company that he disliked.

Cory stood up straight and his face turned pale.

Of course, he knew what Patrick could do.

His mother had taught him since he was a child to fawn on his cousin, let alone to oppose him.

"Patrick, don't be too arrogant.I told you there must be someone in this world who will make you fall!"

Cory's face darkened with anger and he cursed angrily, "I don't care why you left the IP&G Group.I just want to know if you're implicating Christina.Don't think I don’t know.I sent someone to check.The strange text messages Christina received, the takeaway with laxatives, and being hurt at the hospital, all of these were aimed at you."

"Patrick, you said she's my sister-in-law now so I don't have the right to care about her.But what about you? You'll only hurt her when she's with you!"

His words kept echoing in the cold and empty clubhouse...

Hearing this, Charles became nervous and didn't know how dare Cory to say that.

He carefully turned to Patrick and saw Patrick's dark face.

Patrick clenched the silver-grey laptop in his right hand, his veins throbbing in his fists.

To Charles's surprise, he didn't lash out.

"Patrick is too cruel and cold.He's not suitable for you.He must have a purpose in marrying you.He's too complex and even many elders in the circle can't see through him.Christina, Patrick will hurt you."

At 5:00 in the afternoon, in late autumn, the sun gradually fell, and the hazy golden afterglow shone into the exquisite independent villa.

Betty was persuading Christina.

The two of them sat at the dining room table in front of the kitchen.

Christina was wearing an apron and a small basket was placed between her legs.

She lowered her head and skillfully dealt with vegetables, removing some withered leaves and old stems.

She looked very focused as if she had not heard Betty's instructions at all.

Her aunt, Betty, was much calmer today.

This morning, she was taken to the market to buy vegetables and fish.

She also accompanied Betty to buy a lot of oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar.

Her aunt seemed to like living a simple and peaceful life like this, and even now she spoke gently.

Betty patiently told her a lot.

She just listened quietly and did not agree or refute.

Christina sorted out the vegetables in the basket and looked up.

Just then, Betty stood up from the chair opposite her and reached out to take the small basket.

"I'll go wash up.Sit still.The water is cold.It's troublesome for you to be pregnant and have a cold."

As he spoke, Betty turned around and walked into the kitchen, turning on the tap to wash the vegetables.

Christina did not rush to work.She sat still and looked at the busy figure in the kitchen, feeling a little uncomfortable.Though her aunt scolded and hit her, she was worried about her.
