Spoil My Errant Wife

Chapter 269 

Christina entered the room and quickly closed the glass door in front of the balcony.

The storm outside slammed against the glass door with a thumping sound.

Christina was wet all over.She unfolded her right hand and a screw fell out of her palm.

It was evening, and the rain was falling heavily outside with terrible streaks of lightning and thunder that ripped through the sky.

Perhaps the bright light in the room made her feel a little more secure.

The handle of the glass door was loosened, but she was more willing to believe that this screw fell automatically.She glanced at the gloomy little balcony and convinced herself not to think too much.

Then she turned around and went straight into the bedroom to get changed.But she was always filled with anxiety.She locked the bedroom door and turned on all the lights in the room.

The noise of thunder and rain outside highlighted her room's coldness and quiet, and even her short breathing was clear.

Christina took off her wet clothes and wiped the stains on her face and long hair with a towel.She reached out to get the dry clothes on the bed.

When she looked down, she saw the scar on her abdomen at once.She looked at it steadily, Her slightly cold fingers touched the cut on the abdomen.

The scar was no longer obvious.She didn't know what medicine Derek had applied to her, and even the striae of pregnancy were gone.

It was as if the memory of her pregnancy and marriage to the Hopkins family was a dream.

The traces had disappeared, and Patrick had disappeared from her world...

Ding- The phone rang in the empty and quiet house abruptly.

She tensed up and had a look at the phone on the dresser.She walked over quickly.It was Derek calling.He said, "Christina, I'm outside the door"

Christina was surprised for a while before she came to her senses and replied quickly, "Oh, wait a minute."

Then she hung up, quickly changed her clothes, and tidied up her face in front of the mirror on the dresser.

Suddenly, she found something different and stared at herself in the mirror.She coiled up her long hair, raised her head, and turned to look in the mirror.

There was a faint red mark on her fair skin at the neck below her left earlobe...Her fingertips touched the strange red mark on her neck.It was like...a hickey.

Hickey? It was a little unrealistic.

Christina put down her long hair and did not think about it.She felt that it should be the mark from her previous sleep.

"Why are you here?" She ran out to open the door for Derek.

He stood straight outside the door.His black expensive coat was wet by the rain with the water dripping from his short hair.

Derek simply walked in and closed the door.

Christina frowned and looked at him.She immediately gave him a dry towel.

"Take off your coat.Are your undershirt wet? Why do you come to me in such heavy rain?"

He took the towel and wiped it on his slightly curled short black hair.Then he looked at her with his clear blue eyes.

After a while, he said in a low voice, "It's thundering"

Christina's expression was a little puzzled.The house was bright with the light on.

Derek stared at her.

After a few seconds, he sighed and said, "You will be afraid"

"I'm not afraid."

Christina understood and immediately shouted at him.Then he smiled.

Derek was tall and thin.His face was fair and handsome with a pair of deep and amazing blue eyes.

When he smiled, his eyes were slightly curved, and even his pupils were sparkling. His clean and pure eyes were enchanted, He rarely smiled. All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

At this moment, he was extremely charming.

What are you laughing at? Don't laugh!

Christina yelled at him angrily.

Only Christina could get along with him in this manner as if they had a tacit understanding.

Derek glanced around at the lights in the house and found Christina had turned on all the lights.It was obvious that she was afraid.

But Derek wouldn't clarify it.

There was more amusement in his eyes.

Derek liked to see her angry.

"What's wrong?"

Derek was very quick-witted.

Sitting for less than ten minutes, he found that she was a little restrained.

Christina subconsciously glanced at the balcony from time to time, feeling a little suspicious.

"Nothing" She said constrainedly, Obviously, she was perfunctory.

She would probably be laughed at for talking about the apartment and the strange faint red mark under her earlobe.She insisted not to say anything stubbornly.

"I'm a little hungry.Do you want fried rice."

Christina opened the refrigerator and took out the fried rice that she had packed this morning.She was going to put it in the microwave to heat it.

"I bought a lot of fried rice this morning.It tastes good." She had thought to give Derek half.

Before her words ended, Derek took the pot to wash the rice.

Christina, a lazy eater, stood by the side.

Looking at the man working in the small kitchen, she said, "Don't botter.Just eat some we have."

Derek ignored her and continued to cook.No matter what he did, he was always nimble.The handsome man was cooking, and he carefully stirred the porridge in the pot with a long spoon.

Such a handsome silhouette was really a special feast to the eye.

Thinking that she was really a failure as a woman who couldn't cook, she was embarrassed to look at some bowls and chopsticks piled on one side.

Well, those were the bowls she used to hold takeout the other day.She wanted to wash them together, but in fact, she was lazy.

Christina felt sorry and entered the kitchen to help.She turned on the tap and began to wash the dishes.

Derek did not care about her.He took some scallops from the refrigerator and washed them.Then he put them into the porridge to cook.

As he turned around, he saw Christina washing the dishes happily.

"Bae, don't play with bowls." He said helplessly, looking at her.

Christina blushed and looked down at her hands, which were full of bubbles.

She even played with bowls.

"I didn't"

She retorted stubbornly, but she continued to wash the dishes and tidy them up.

In fact, when they got along in the past, Christina was the one who made trouble.

Derek had to handle the trouble for her without complaints.

And Christina didn’t admit that she had made a mistake.

They sat next to each other at the glass tea table in the small living room.

Each of them was eating a large bowl of scallop porridge.

It was unknown what seasoning Derek had put in it.

The hot porridge filled the room with delicious flavor.

"This fried rice is really dry.It might have been stored for a long time and become so unsavory” Christina took a small bite of the microwaved fried rice and soon she despised it.She immediately changed her mind to eat porridge quickly in the bowl.Derek naturally threw the box of fried rice into the trash can.

"Don't eat it anymore."

The bad habit of picky eating was cultivated in this way.

Christina devoured two large bowls as if she had not eaten any delicious food for a long time.

Derek ate much more gracefully than her.

Occasionally, he would spoon the scallops from his bowl to Christina.She had grown up with him all her childhood and youth.

Christina used to think that apart from her grandfather, Derek was the closest to her.

Derek would always be good to her.

"Eric, don't lie to me."

The storm outside began to lessen.She held the spoon and suddenly whispered.So much has happened in these years since Derek was gone, and then she had changed, and so had Derek.She thought he didn't hear her.

When they cleaned up the dishes, the rain outside had stopped.He walked out of the door.Christina stood outside and looked at him for a minute.She wanted to politely ask him to take care on the way back, but Derek said first, "Baby, I won't lie to you."

Christina was surprised.He looked at her calmly, then turned around to leave.She closed the door and her mind was filled with Derek's tall and straight figure with indifferent temperament.

Bang.

Bang.

Bang.

The continuous noise came from upstairs.

The sound of thumping, which was like playing basketball, was annoying.

Christina's face darkened.She was about to outburst.She raised her head angrily and cursed towards the ceiling, "You fucking psycho! You played basketball as soon as the thunder stopped!"

However, it seemed that the one upstairs was in a bad mood tonight, and even the noise he made was especially loud and annoying.
