Female Novel
Chapter 244
“Hurry up here.My father is going out later and you won’t see him…”
Geoffrey shouted loudly and hung up the phone in an agile manner.
Crystal was a little embarrassed for his words implied that her relationship with Chandler was unusual.
In this way, she was tricked to go to Chandler’s house by a five-year-old kid.
The Stephenson family was a family of scholars for generations, and their house looked less
magnificent than the Hopkins family’s house.
It was located in the western suburbs of A City with a tranquil and fresh environment.
The chinese courtyard building.
Standing outside the retro-style door, she hesitated for a while and knocked on the door.
It was said that Chandler’s grandfather was once a tenured professor in Princeton before he died, but
at that time, during the national turmoil, his grandfather gave up everything and resolutely returned
back home to support his country, making a major contribution to the backward scientific research at
that time.
Chandler’s parents were also professors at famous universities.
Crystal stood outside the door and waited.She was imagining if there would be a line of well-trained
maids opening the door for her and welcoming her.
It turned out that she was thinking too much.
She kept knocking on the door and no one came for her.
Finally, she found a communication button on the upper right side of the door, and then she rang the
bell despondently.She didn’t expect that the retro courtyard was equipped with modern technology.
Finally, she heard footsteps approaching, and the heavy door was opened with a click.
Then she looked at the man in front of her in surprise.
Crystal was too shocked to greet and stared at him in a daze.
“Are you lost your way?”
Chandler felt that this woman was a little bit strange.
He had met her several times before, so he knew that she was Christina’s good friend.
In addition, she had engaged in his company’s cooperation project with IP&G Group a long time ago.
Once, when he had a stomachache during a meeting, she went to buy some medicine and secretly put
it on his desk.
But overall, he didn’t know her well.
“Miss Zhu, what brings you here? Why do you look so shocked?”
Chandler asked directly in a distant tone.
Crystal looked embarrassed and complained in her heart.
Why was this man so rude? She just didn’t expect that he would open the door for her personally.
Chandler looked gentle and kind, but in fact, he was very scheming.She knew it very well.
“How is Patrick now?” Crystal asked directly.
“He’s in Seattle.”
Chandler didn’t hide it from her and told her the truth.
“I know he’s in Seattle.I mean when will he be back? Is his illness really so serious…”
Chandler interrupted her, his tone a little cold.
“Miss Zhu, since you know that Patrick is not an ordinary man, then you must know that I can’t make
comments about his illness.It will affect the group’s stock price.The consequence is too much for
everyone to bear.”
Crystal listened to his lecture and lowered her head guiltily.
If Patrick really had a serious illness, it would definitely affect the entire [P&G Group, and some words
were forbidden to say.
“Miss Zhu, you can go straight to the highway by turning left.If you get lost, please turn on your GPS,
Then see you around.”
Chandler didn’t want to talk to her anymore, so he said goodbye and closed the door.
Crystal could clearly see that Chandler was unwilling to talk to her.She watched him closing the heavy
door absent- minded.
Suddenly, she was very angry.
These upper-class people always acted in a condescending manner.
“Christina’s children are dead!”
She shouted angrily.
Chandler, who was at the other end of the door, stopped when he heard her.He did not speak
immediately, and his brows were slightly furrowed with fatigue.
In fact, he had just returned back from Seattle and found out about it.
Christina’s twins were gone.
He felt heavy and could hardly believe it, but the reality was so cruel.
Seeing that he was indifferent, Crystal became even more excited.
“Do you guys really not know this? It has been almost half a month and the people in the Hopkins
family have ignored her.Where is Patrick? Where is he? Please, if you can contact Patrick, tell him that
Christina really wants to see him.”
Chandler looked at the woman in front of him and her eyes turned red with anxiety.
He rubbed his brows and said calmly, “I can’t help you with this.”
“Patrick can’t come back from Seattle for the time being”
“When exactly will he be back? Will it really take three months? What if he never comes back? Even if
Patrick really can’t come back for the time being, he can at least call and send a text message or make
a video call when he’s free…” The more Crystal said, the angrier she became.
“This is about his wife and children.Why is he so cruel?”
Chandler felt very upset at her accusations and scoldings.He coldly asked her to leave.
“Miss Zhu, you are not qualified to meddle in these matters.Please leave my house immediately:”
“Chandler, don’t put on such an arrogant look.I’m not as rich as you, but I’m not stupid!”
Crystal was even angrier at his cold and heartless words.Her eyes were red and she held back her
tears.Her bright eyes looked straight at him.novelbin
“I don’t believe that Patrick is seriously ill and won’t be cured.A rich and powerful man like him knows
schemes better than anyone else.He can’t fight unprepared battles.Don’t lie to me that he won’t come
back because something happened to him.He just doesn’t want to come back!”
Chandler looked shocked.He didn’t expect this soft woman to say this.
Crystal looked tense and her heart was cold.She would never look for them to ask for information about
Patrick again.
Anyway, time could heal everything.
Christina would definitely go through this.
When she got better, her relationship with Patrick would be cut off completely.She turned her gaze
away and left.
Chandler looked at her in astonishment and he didn’t expect that this woman to be so angry.
Seeing that she was leaving, he suddenly felt that he had to say something.He opened his lips and
hesitated…
At this moment, a small figure rushed out of the house.
A pair of short fair hands grabbed Crystal’s pants directly and stopped her from leaving.
Crystal stopped and looked down at the little guy expressionlessly.
Without looking at her, Geoffrey just held her pants tightly.
The little guy turned around and shouted at the door, “Dad, this is the nanny I hired.She can cook for
us.”
Nanny? What nonsense was this little guy talking about? Crystal turned to look at Chandler with her
expression more and more ferocious.
Chandler completely ignored her, but it seemed that he was considering his son’s suggestion carefully.
Geoffrey knew his father very well and took the opportunity to persuade him, “Grandpa and grandma
have gone abroad to be visiting professors.No one has cooked could cook for us.Anyway, if we have to
hire someone, why can’t be her?”
The little man thought for a moment and added, “She’s poor.She doesn’t have a job.”
“Geoffrey, thank you for your ‘kind’ words!”
Crystal lowered her head and glared at the little guy angrily.
She gritted her teeth and thanked him.She found that Geoffrey was as evil as his father! She raised her
head and forced a smile.
“Thank you so much for your appreciation.I don’t think I can do it.See you around!”
She stressed her last words deliberately.She should not be so polite, hmph.She would never yield to
anyone! Unfortunately, it only lasted for a minute, just a minute…
Chandler’s phone suddenly rang.
He asked the other end of the phone, “Patrick just woke up?!”
After a few words, he hung up the phone.
Crystal couldn’t hear what he was talking about clearly, but she was sure that Chandler was talking to
Patrick’s grandpa.
Patrick just woke up? Did that mean he would be back soon…
Since Chandler was so close with the Hopkins family, he must know a lot about them.
Just as Crystal was lost in her mind, Geoffrey, who was next to her, tugged at her pants.
The little guy whispered to her kindly, “Didn’t you say that two children were missing? Their mommy
was worried about them.My father is very powerful.He knows a lot of things…”
The thought of staying here and snooping flashed through Crystal’s mind immediately.
Chandler hung up the phone and looked at them with interest.
He was a little confused because his son didn’t like to be accompanied since he was a child.
Even the nanny he hired was chased away by his son on purpose.
After thinking for a while, he found Crystal was sort of a pushover.
It was rare for his son to like her, and then he narrowed his eyes to look Crystal up and down…
“Miss Zhu, I have two requests.First, from Monday to Friday, you have to pick up Geoffrey from
kindergarten.Second, you have to take care of me and Geoffrey, including cleaning and cooking.The
basic salary is ten thousand, and the bonus depends on your performance.”
“I didn’t say yes!” Crystal retorted angrily.
His overbearing words made her furious.
Chandler leaned against the door and glanced at her casually.
“Really? But your expression tells me that you desperately want to stay for some ulterior motives.”
He actually could read her mind.
Crystal felt guilty and wondered if her expression could really give herself away.
Doing housework was no big deal to her, but for some reason, she stressed, “Cleaning and cooking are
fine with me, but I’ll leave when my job’s done.I won’t stay overnight!”
Chandler looked at her in a gentle and serious manner for a long time.
Finding that this woman seemed to be very nervous, he suddenly felt funny.
He looked down and up at her figure in a deliberate and exaggerating way, and then calmly told her,
“Miss Zhu, you don’t have to worry.You’re safe with me.”
Crystal looked twisted.
What did he mean by that?! Geoffrey, who was tugging her pants, ran to his father and hugged
Chandler’s leg in a good mood, smiling in a handsome way, while Chandler reached out to touch his
little head lovingly, with an elegant smile on his face.
Looking at them , Crystal suddenly felt as if she had been set up…
