Female Novel
Chapter 464
Charles and Erica both looked at her. It seemed that she was the one who was making trouble.
Christina remembered what they had just said in the room.
Patrick deliberately asked her to participate in those so-called charities and made her busy with those
things.
He didn't believe her and didn't want her to go to Derek's apartment.
He suspected she had hurt Ms. Hopkins, and he secretly installed many surveillance cameras.
Christina was getting angrier as she thought over, "Excuse me, can I go now?"
Patrick stood in her way. If it was usual, she would leave angrily by pushing him away. Now she had
gone to several charities and had learned how to think for her husband and maintain her husband's
dignity from those socialites, she had learned how to be gentle and obedient to her husband.
"Or do you want me to serve you to drink?" She gritted her teeth and said sarcastically.
Patrick looked straight at her and said with a little angry voice, "I didn't ask you to learn those."
"I'm really sorry. I'm not smart enough and my comprehension is too poor. I can't learn anything too
profound." Christina raised her face and lowered her voice, trying to say calmly.
"I only learned one thing during this period of time, that is, if there are suspicions between the couples,
their endings are always one cheat on another or divorce."
Cheating, divorce.
These words were a big taboo in marriage.
Patrick's face darkened when he heard them.
Seeing his gloomy face, Christina immediately asked, "Mr. Hopkins, can I go now?" She was trying to
provoke him.
"Don't worry. I'm just going home, not looking for a man outside."
Christina could not pretend to be gentle at all and she had already run out of her patience. After roaring
at him angrily, she picked her red sweater and strode away without looking at him.
Suddenly, the vibe turned down that no one made a sound.
Charles and the others looked at each other, then they looked at the figure on the other end of the
corridor that was gradually disappearing from their sights.
Crystal had already foreseen it. In such a short time, how could Christina learn to curry favor with men?
Slamming the door and leaving right away was what she would do in her nature.
It was actually good for couples to quarrel, which meant there were still ways to make up for it.
Crystal envied her for daring to speak out her thoughts straightforwardly. Even with a man like Patrick,
she could vent her dissatisfaction. How uncomfortable it would be if a couple never express their inner
thoughts to each other.
She glanced sideways at Erica, who was still so bright and charming. Recently Erica was staying in the
Stephenson family, she had quitted the bad habits of smoking and staying up late, which made her
more beautiful.
But Crystal felt she herself was even more overshadowed.
Crystal's was full of bitterness inside. What a perfect match when Erica and Chandler stood together.
Erica had been watching Christina's leaving. She raised her eyebrows, "Awesome." There was no
emotion of likes or dislikes in her words, she was just telling the truth.
Regardless of the occasion, Christina left whenever she wanted. There were too many restrictions in
modern society and too many fake smiles on people's faces, while the true temperament was a luxury.
Chandler glanced at Crystle. His first thought was that he didn't want Crystal to have too much contact
with Christina. If Crystal got such a temper, he would not be able to bear it.
"We go first." Chandler took Crystal away.
Erica looked at Crystal and said generously, "Take my car. Chandler has a client to visit. Don't let him
rush twice."
Crystal didn't say anything. They said goodbye to Charles and left.
Charles exclaimed in his heart, "The three of them could be in the same space!" Erica had changed a
lot and disarmed her hostility to Crystal. Crystal was good-natured and may not have any strong
emotions.
Patrick had never been interested in other's family affairs. He walked into the private room and sat
down to think about something.
Charles immediately ran over and sized Patrick up, "I thought you would be angry." It seemed that
Christina's leaving had not affected him much.
Patrick asked him indifferently, "What do you think I will do? Smashing something here?"
"If it was before, you would have a cold face all day," Charles told the truth. It was easy to feel that if he
was in a bad mood.
"The fastest way to train a man's will is to marry a woman. You can learn to control your emotions every
day." Though Patrick's tone was flat, he had learned a little humor recently.
Charles burst into laughter as he listened.
In the evening, Patrick came back home.
"Are you still angry?" He sat directly by the bed.
Christina lay on her side, ignoring him and pretending to sleep.
Patrick glanced at her, got up, and rummaged through the closet himself. Then he put on the Santa
Claus red sweater, looked at himself in the mirror seriously.
Christina rolled over and shouted, "What are you doing? It's not yours!"
She had already planned to give the sweat to someone else tomorrow.
Christina was furious. Patrick took out his phone and opened his rarely logged-in WhatsApp, placed the
evidence in front of her, and said, "This is the photo you sent me when you bought the clothes this
afternoon."
Patrick added, "They are all mine."
"Shameless!"
She did take some photos and sent them over when she bought his clothes this afternoon. But now she
was unhappy and didn't want to give them to him.
"They are mine. Don't give it to anyone else." Patrick's tone was firm. After that, he took his nightgown
and went into the bathroom.
Christina watched him walk into the bathroom as usual, without slamming the door or saying anything
sarcastic.
Why was he so calm?
She suddenly realized that Patrick had upgraded.
In the past, when they quarreled, they always had a cold war because she couldn't handle it, and
neither could he.
But now... She had already lost a battle to him.
"... It was clearly his fault." Christina was wrapped in the sheets and sulked.
When Patrick came out, he went straight into the big bed. Seeing Christina ignore him, he hugged her
from her back.
"Don't touch me," Christina moved her body.
In the past, when they quarreled, he would definitely sleep in the study. How could he be so cheeky this
time? She still didn't get used to the fast pace of dealing with the marriage problem.
"Christina, it's not good for your health to sleep in anger." His deep voice came in her ear, and the
warm breath stirred her heart a little.
No, they didn't usually get along like this, and he wasn't that clingy. Christina couldn't stand this erotic
vibe.
She turned over and faced him with a dark face. She pretended to be angry and scolded him, "It's your
fault. You don't believe me and force me to participate in those charity projects!"
Patrick looked at her, "It's all my fault."
She was dazed for a while. In the past, she used this method to deal with him. Now he admitted his
mistake directly, personally, and face to face.
She was suddenly speechless.
Christina was still unreconciled, hitting Partick's strong chest with her head, "I don't want to go to the
charity. I don't want to go to the charity..."
Patrick looked at her childish actions and smiled.
He remembered that when she was a child, she didn't want to learn how to play the piano. She was
forced to practice and cried, "I don't want to learn, I don't want to learn..."
When Christina saw that he was smiling, she became even angrier. She dived for his arms and tried to
bite him. Entangling together, Patrick's voice suddenly became blurred, "If you can't fall asleep, let's do
something else..."
"Don't even think about it!"
After getting married, Patrich had changed a lot. If something was unchanged, it must be that stinky
man liked to think with their lower bodies as usual.
Just like Patrick had already seen through her, she shouted last night that she would never participate
in charity projects again, but the next day, when a socialite asked her out to meet and talk things over,
she still went there though with a dark face.
This also made her stand Derek up again.novelbin
It was agreed that she would go visit Derek today but she was dragged by these trivial things that she
didn't like.
Crystal sent Christina a message at noon, saying that she was sorry for not being able to visit Derek.
Christina received the message when she was reading the documents about supporting an orphanage.
It was until then did Christina realize that she forgot to go visit Derek.
She remembered Larry said that Derek didn't let him into the apartment yesterday, so he didn't know
about Derek's health condition. Every time she called and sent messages to Derek, he only replied
"Okay" and "Alright."
Christina frowned and thought for a while. Then she carried a stack of documents and threw them into
her car. She turned around and told other socialites that she had something to do at home and she had
to leave first. They did not dare to stop her.
She turned the car around and went straight to Derek's apartment.
Christina wanted to find a store to buy some daily necessities for Derek.
But just as she parked the car outside Derek's apartment, she saw a familiar figure.
She instinctively ran over. However, it was Sunday, many elderly and children were playing around the
neighborhood in the afternoon. After running over two alleys, she couldn't catch up with the figure.
"... Brianna?" Christina was alert.
That figure just now seemed to be Brianna, but why did she appear nearby Derek's Apartment?
Her expression changed suddenly. She turned around and immediately ran towards the apartment.
She grabbed her phone and called Derek, but no one answered.
She became more nervous. When she rushed to his apartment, she saw the door was open.
She immediately rushed in. Seeing the furniture in the room was in a mess, her heart was squeezed.
"Eric!" Christina shouted and looked for him in the room.
"What happened?" Larry walked out of the kitchen quickly. He was surprised to see Christina, "Why do
you come here suddenly?"
"Where's Derek?" Christina grabbed him and asked.
Larry's expression was normal, "He's going to the hospital for a reexamination today. I am packing
some clothes for him to stay in the hospital for a few days..."
"Then, why are things here so messy?"
"These are the new furniture." Larry felt her nervousness, "Didn't you see that? I want to change the old
ones while Derek is hospitalized. The people from the moving company had just left. Later, they will
send the fridge and the water filter over. They will clean them up."
Christina calmed down and looked around again. Now she realized that it was the new furniture that
messed up the room.
It seemed that she was thinking too much.
