Chapter 489

Husband and wife should be honest with each other.

On the way back, Christina had been thinking about this. Every time she went back to the Dickens

family, she was nagged by her aunt. Especially this time when she went back, her aunt kept talking that

Patrick was a good man.

Christina was thinking if Patrick gave her family money. Or did Patrick brainwash her family?

Her aunt's attitude towards Patrick and the Hopkins family had completely changed. She was even

worried that Christina didn't know how to serve her husband after getting married, so she even taught

Christina some methods to serve men.

"Patrick." Christina suddenly called Patrick.

"Patrick, do you have any secrets to tell me?"

Patrick didn't know what his wife was thinking. He turned to look at her and frowned. His first thought

was that she knew about the conversation between him and Donald.

Christina looked a little awkward and tugged at his sleeve. "Hey, I'm asking you. Are you trying to avoid

my question?"

Patrick was scrutinized by her and wanted to deny it, but he couldn't say it when he met her bright

eyes.

As Patrick's wife, Christina could already see through his conspiracy from the subtle expression on his

face.

Charles and the two babies sat in the second row of seats of the long black Bugatti. The two one-year-

old babies got up too early this morning, so they fell asleep quietly in the stable car after drinking milk.

Because the children were asleep, they lowered their voices in the car. Charles was so bored that he

could only look at the two babies next to him.

Suddenly, he heard Christina asking Patrick and sneered.

Christina became smarter after being together with Patrick for a long time. If Patrick had plotted against

her in the past, she would not have known it.

"Patrick, Derek gave me so much property. How do you feel?" Christina and Patrick were sitting in the

back row of the car, which was convenient for them to talk about personal matters.

Patrick did not expect her to ask so directly. He raised his eyebrows without answering.

"Hey, do you want to be silent again?" Christina kicked Patrick with her right foot.

Charles, who was sitting in front of them, seemed to be looking straight ahead at the road. The driver in

the front row also looked very serious. No one seemed to pay attention their conversation, but they

were very curious about it.

It was a rare and interesting thing to eavesdrop on the conversation between Christina and Patrick.

So far, few people dared to yell at Patrick like this.

Patrick was not a passive person. He raised his head and looked straight at Christina. "Do you know

why Derek suddenly gave you all his belongings?"

Christina felt a little uncertain when he asked her this question.

"Why do you think he did this?" She wasn't too sure herself.

Patrick hesitated deliberately and said softly, "So you don't know it."

Hearing his tone, Christina leaned closer to him and grabbed his arm tightly with both hands, asking

anxiously, "Do you know anything? Tell me quickly."

"Hey, tell me. Derek has been sick recently. He illness is so strange. The last time I went to his

apartment, I saw him smash all the furniture in his apartment. He even scratched the door with his

thumb and left five blood marks on it. He fell under the bed and was covered in wounds. He kept

moaning."

"The next day when he woke up, I asked him what was going on, but he said he didn't remember."

Christina spoke everything she knew. Patrick was listening to her in surprise. In fact, Patrick did not

know as much as Christina did.

It was too difficult to investigate some things from Derek. Only Christina knew some facts.

Christina said with disappointment, "Tell me. Is it because he feels that he is not in good health that he

gives me his property? Can't he be cured?"

Hearing this, Charles was very shocked. He had never known that Derek was suffering this.

He immediately remembered that once he, Patrick, and Chandler broke into Derek's apartment and

happened to see that Derek's house was smashed into a mess. Besides, Derek was also scarred and

very weak, as if he was going to die at any time. However, it was amazing that after a long time, the

doctor diagnosed that Derek's various indicators had returned to normal.

Christina had misunderstood that they beat up Derek.

Derek always hurt himself. What happened to him?

Patrick was silent for a moment. Seeing that Christina was extremely worried about Derek, Patrick had

a mexed feeling and patted Christina on the head.

"Derek's illness will be treated by a professional doctor. You're not a doctor." Patrick was not very good

at comforting people. He added, "I will try my best to help him."

Then he said bluntly, "I'm very annoyed that Derek transferred such a large sum of his property to you."

No man would like to see that his wife was supported by another man.

Hearing what he said, Christina felt a little surprised.

When Senior Mr. Hopkins, Ms. Hopkins, and the Dickens family asked him, he always kept silent.

Hearing that he said he was unhappy, Christina wanted to laugh.

Charles laughed out loud. "Patrick, take it as the dowry Derek gives to her."

Seeing that Patrick was so frank, Christina also told him something, "Patrick, I think Brianna is very

strange."

Patrick turned to look at Christina. It was strange that she suddenly mentioned Brianna.

"What's wrong with Brianna?"

In Patrick's opinion, Brianna was always quiet and honest. She had never caused trouble for so many

years since she came to the Hopkins family.

Charles couldn't help but turn round and glance at Christina. "Brianna is such a nice person. Are you

not satisfied with her?"

"If you really want to complain, you should complain Ms. Hopkins. Ms. Hopkins really likes to stir up

trouble."

Christina frowned and said, "Ms. Hopkins is just gossipy and likes to make trouble for me, but she's not

that bad. I didn't say that Brianna was a bad person. It's strange, because Brianna is sometimes good

and sometimes bad."

Christina could not tell how she felt.

It was as if there were two Briannas, one timid and cowardly, and the other extremely violent.

Charles was surprised. "Don't you think Ms. Hopkins treats you badly?" He didn't think that Christina

was so tolerant.

"I thought you were always on guard against Ms. Hopkins in the Hopkins family. She is not easy to get

along with."

But Christina said bluntly, "I just want to be on guard against Brianna."

Patrick seemed to realize the seriousness of the matter. He lowered his voice and asked, "What did

Brianna do to you?"

Even Charles became a little vigilant.

Christina would not choose to hold a grudge against someone. She did not even hate Ms. Hopkins,

who was always targeting her. What did Brianna do?

Christina looked a little awkward. In fact, she could not tell it herself. She felt that Brianna had attacked

her several times, but there was no real evidence.

And Brianna had no motive to hurt her.

Christina didn't say much to them. She just mumbled, "Isn't there a lot of cameras in the house? Even a

cunning fox will give itself away one day."

Brianna was a little introverted and autistic like Derek when he was a child. Christina didn't want to hurt

Brianna, but she wouldn't wait to be attacked by Brianna.

"Okay, it's your turn."

Christina seemed to have said something hidden in her heart. She breathed a sigh of relief, and then

patted Patrick on the shoulder to urge him with a relaxed expression.

Patrick looked at her blankly.

After being married for so long, he couldn't keep up with his wife's thoughts at all.

"I've already told you some secrets in my heart. It's definitely your turn to say something now. Say it!"

Christina's tone was a little overbearing.

Patrick looked at her quietly and suddenly chuckled.

Patrick's deep burning eyes were staring straight at Christina. Christina was a little embarrassed. "Why

are you looking at me? I'm asking you to say something. Hey, don't laugh. What are you laughing at?"

Every time Christina was shy and embarrassed, she would raise her voice and be especially fierce.

"Don't stare at me like that. It's so strange." She pushed Patrick.

Patrick was in a good mood when he saw her like this. He teased, "I've been staring at you for so long

in the past, but you didn't look up at me."

"When?"

Christina complained in her heart. His eyes were so burning, and he was just like a beast looking at its

prey. How could she not notice it?

Patrick said casually, "You're under the platform, and I'm on the platform."

"You mean when you went to our school to be a teaching assistant?"

Christina was very surprised. He rarely mentioned it. Sometimes she asked him when he was about to

sleep at night, he didn't say it, as if it was so embarrassing.

"Tell me. Patrick, you were very famous in our school at that time."

Charles was also very curious about Patrick's experience as a teaching assistant. In order to chase

after the girl he liked, Patrick actually went to her school to be a teacher. Patrick didn't date with many

girls, but he was definitely a doer.

The atmosphere in the car was very harmonious. Christina reached out and slapped the back of

Charles's head. "Why did you teach the babies to stick tongues out?"

The children were very curious. They opened their eyes and look around. Looking at Charles, they

unconsciously learned to stick their tongues out, as if it was fun. They also smiled shyly.

"I didn't do it deliberately. Don't tell grandpa." Charles immediately begged for mercy. If Senior Mr.

Hopkins knew it, he would chop Charles up.

Christina and Charles were quarreling. The babies seemed to be playing with them, prattling and

waving their chubby hands.

The car was running steadily all the way. The sun outside the window was blocked by clouds today,

and the scenery on both sides of the highway looked a little hazy. It seemed that it would rain later.

Patrick stopped smiling and looked out the window. He was thinking about something.
