Female Novel
Chapter 367
The Hopkins family had been very peaceful recently.
Patrick went back to stay in the Hopkins family. Although the twins often cried, fortunately, they were
very strong and healthy. As the spring festival approached, the Hopkins family was full of harmony and
happiness.
However, Senior Mr. Hopkins felt a little bit annoyed.
"Rovy, do you think the Hopkins family is so annoying?"
Early in the morning, the old man was sulking with a pot of hot tea in his hand.
Butler Rovy stood aside and he to laugh but felt helpless.
In the past, many relatives and friends would visit the Hopkins family each year when it came to the
spring festival. Especially this year, when they heard about the child, they were even more eager to
make an appointment in advance to visit. Senior Mr. Hopkins refused all visitors this year on the
grounds that he was not feeling well and did not like the noise.
Then, Senior Mr. Hopkins gave a call to the Dickens family in person with great sincerity and invited
them over for dinner. But the Dickens family rejected him.
Then the old man felt a little bit embarrassed.
With a gloomy face, he grabbed a delicate white jade teacup to drink a mouthful of hot tea.
But he choked a few times because he couldn't get over his anger.
He coughed.
"Even a mouthful of tea goes against me." The old man was even angrier and directly vented his anger
on his grandson. "It's all Patrick's fault! That bastard."
Then the butler gave a bitter smile, because Patrick had been depressed recently.
It was rare for Patrick to give himself an early annual leave this year. He neither went back to the
company nor was on a business trip. Instead, he just stayed at the Hopkins family all day. And he didn't
even review the documents piled up in his study.
Maybe it was so stuffy that he would occasionally go to the nursery.
However, because of what he had done, the Old Master strictly declared that Patrick was not allowed to
get close to the child within a meter, as if he were a thief.
If anyone misbehaved and allowed Patrick Hopkins to get the child out, they would all be punished.
Patrick stood at the door of the nursery, with all the servants in the room looking at him with fear.
Fortunately, Patrick was used to other people's keen eyes so that he was not angry. He stopped at the
door expressionlessly and looked at the two little guys in the crib lying on the soft little bed. Just after
drinking the milk, the babies were playing with their own feet.
"Didn't they cry today?"
Patrick suddenly said the words. The maid in the room didn't understand for a moment. But the smart
nanny quickly replied, "Yes, both young masters are very good today..."
Without an expression, Patrick looked at his twin sons with a small pacifier. They had pink and fair
cheeks, big bright eyes and long eyelashes. The children looked very cute.
"Being so cute is useless."
Patrick muttered in a low and frustrated tone.
An upset feeling surged up in his mind, and his face became more serious. He turned around and
decided to go back to the study.
At this moment, the baby with blue eyes was holding an empty bottle in his chubby hand. He seemed
to like holding his bottle very much. The maid wanted to take it away, but the baby was very persistent
and refused to let go. But he was so weak that he had to roll on the small bed.
Then, the baby cried.
As he burst out crying, the other baby on the small bed next to him also began to cry.
The children's noisy crying sounded very aggrieved.
As Patrick looked back, the maids and nanny were so scared that they quickly comforted the babies.
They lowered their heads, afraid that Patrick would blame them.
But Patrick did not scold the maids.
He looked at the child with a serious expression. "What are you grieving about?" He scolded them in a
low voice, as if he was angry at something. Then he turned around and left.
The babies on the small bed seemed to be frightened by their father and forgot to cry immediately. The
children's big bright eyes were glistening with tears and looked at their father leaving in a daze.
When the maids saw Patrick leave, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Recently, his temper has become more and more strange.
"How dare he vent his anger on the children!" At dinner, the old man was furious.
In particular, Patrick did not accompany the old man for dinner. The more he thought about it, the
angrier he became.
Judy had always been afraid of the Old Master. When she heard his angry rebuke, she did not
interrupt. And she continued to eat quietly, as if she was listening to gossip from outsiders. She did not
care at all.
Brianna Hopkins glanced at her grandfather timidly, as if she had mustered up her courage and asked
in a low voice, "Grandpa, isn't Patrick gonna eat?"
The old man snorted coldly. "He has no family values. What business can he develop?"
The Hopkins family's family rules are strict. Men who couldn't handle their family and marriage well
would never make a big career. That was the most basic family rule in the Hopkins family.
Nanny Faang, who was in charge of basic needs in Landy, came over and carried the last main dish
onto the stage with a smile.
"Patrick definitely won't vent his anger on the child. He's been sulking with himself these days."
Nanny Faang watched Patrick growing up. Although Patrick was not a benevolent father, he absolutely
loved his child. Perhaps he loved them in a more silent way.
Senior Mr. Hopkins restrained his expression and picked up his chopsticks to eat. But he did not forgetnovelbin
to scold. "With that bad temper, which woman would like him? He's so bored. Well, no wonder Christina
despises him."
Patrick has been really bored in recent days.
He was not an extrovert. Compared to Christina, he looked very dull. He owned the most rustling bar in
A City, but he didn't like the noise himself. Sometimes he was alone in the noise, which made it easy
for him to calm down.
But these days, Patrick found that his previous pastimes could not solve his restlessness.
On new year's eve, as usual in the Hopkins family, the whole family stayed up late for the new year.
Because the twins slept too much during the day, they were very energetic at night. Senior Mr. Hopkins
was happy and his majestic expression was full of love. He was carefully holding the blue-eyed baby
and playing with him.
Perhaps it was because this baby with blue eyes was special. Senior Mr. Hopkins's late wife also had
blue eyes. The old man was used to looking at the child with blue eyes first, and he was unconsciously
biased.
The whole family of the Hopkins family, including all the servants who stayed for the new year, were in
the hall of the main residence in harmony.
"The blue-eyed baby looks like the sister-in-law."
Brianna Hopkins was very introverted and didn't like to make eye contact with people. But she was very
curious about the twins so that she always looked at them in secret. Suddenly she said so.
Senior Mr. Hopkins was holding the baby in his arms. His old face was stunned when he looked down
at the child's big clear eyes on the little white face. He didn't know if it was because he was young or
because of his special characteristics, the baby always seemed to be sleepy.
His face was delicate and beautiful, but he looked very dull and cute.
Senior Mr. Hopkins was in a good mood and suddenly laughed.
The rest of the people in the living room were not so reserved that they began to chuckle.
Patrick was very upset tonight on new year's eve. He even wanted to go out to the bar to deal with this
very upset mood with a large group of strangers. He knew what was missing in such a reunion festival
as the new year. The more festive it was, the emptier he felt.
He didn't really like these little guys. Probably because of kinship, he recently found that he could calm
down when he stayed with the two babies.
Especially the baby with blue eyes really looked as cute as Christina.
However, Patrick also noticed that the other baby with black eyes didn't seem to care about being
ignored by adults at all. He liked to be quiet, but every time when his brother cried, he would cry with
him.
As if crying for fun, he acquiesced to support his willful brother.
"Pretending to cry?"
Was the child so young and intelligent?
Patrick sat in a corner to think seriously about some strange questions.
Nanny Faang brought a pot of red bean soup dumplings. As she found Patrick's serious expression,
she handed him a bowl of red bean soup dumplings and whispered, "She is just angry for a while. No
mother in the world would give up her children."
Patrick looked up at her. Nanny Faang had taken care of him since he was a child and treated him
much more sincerely than her noble biological mother. That was a consolation.
"I know." He muttered to himself.
He knew that what Christina said that day was just because of temporary anger. She would not give up
the children. Instead, she just wanted to give up on him.
