Chapter 567
Christina felt like she was dreaming.
From the moment the car drove into the grand gate of the Hopkins family, along the way, there were
spacious roads, flower beds, fountains, rockeries, winding paths, majestic villas, and corridors with
ancient tiles and red paint connecting the buildings.
She felt as if she was visiting a scenic spot.
Nanny Faang led them to the central building, and they got out of the car.
There were many young maids standing on both sides of the stone stairs in light blue suits. They
bowed down and greeted her in unison. “Junior Mrs. Hopkins.”
Their sweet and clear voice made Christina shiver and goosebumps appeared all over her body.
The main living room was more like an exhibition hall. Apart from the valuable antiques on display and
all kinds of famous paintings on the walls, the ceiling was nearly eight meters high. The bright crystal
chandelier flickered under the light, and everything was so magnificent.
“… This family is really wealthy.” Christina could not help but mutter to herself.
According to her current memory, she was still a high school student, so it was normal for her to be
surprised. The Hopkins family was really beyond her imagination.
Moreover, she had married Patrick Hopkins and she was going to live here!
Christina felt a little confused and suspected if she was dreaming again.
“… Senior Mr. Hopkins, Junior Mrs. Hopkins is coming.” Nanny Faang’s voice brought her back to
reality.
Christina looked in the direction of the voice. In the middle of the sofa in the living room sat an old man
in a navy blue surt. He looked stern, and in his right hand was a yellow rosewood carved walking stick.
Who was this old man?
Christina looked at him, and Senior Mr. Hopkins frowned. He looked at the confusion in her eyes. It’s
easy to understand her expression, which meant that she didn’t know him.
He remembered the butler’s report that Christina suddenly forgot them after got injured.
Senior M. Hopkins’s expression became more serious.
… This old man must be difficult to get along with Christina lowered her voice and whispered in her
aunt’s ear.
Betty Eisenhower was surprised to hear what she said,
“Don’t talk nonsense.” Betty was worried that Christina would offend others as soon as she came back,
so Betty
reminded Christina in a low voice.
“What are you talking about?”
Senior Mr. Hopkins asked in a deep and hoarse voice.
“I have no obligation to report to you.” Christina looked straight at the old man and spoke frankly.
Betty immediately looked at Senior Mr. Hopkins apologetically, nodded at the old man and greeted him,
“Senior Mr. Hopkins, Christina hasn’t recovered yet…”
Betty said in a roundabout way, which meant that Christina had forgotten all of them. Betty hoped that
Senior Mr. Hopkins would not take it to heart.
“… Oh, her temper is still the same as before.” Senior Mr. Hopkins did not blame Christina.
In the past, Christina was also like this. She had no manners.
Then Senior Mr. Hopkins raised his hand and ordered, “Prepare to serve.”
It was 5 pm. Usually, the Hopkins family didn’t have dinner so early, and the dishes on the table were
mainly light. It seemed to be because Christina was injured.
Christina saw a woman in a bright purple luxurious cheongsam. Looking at her dignified walking
posture, Christina knew that she was from a famous family. The lady combed her hair and pinned it
with a ruby hairpin, looking very noble and elegant.
“… Christina, this is Patrick’s mother.” Betty whispered to her.
Christina raised her eyebrows and replied, “Oh.”
Christina didn’t intend to greet Judy at all. Anyway, Christina didn’t remember anyone now. It was really
awkward for her to call a strange woman “Mom.”
Moreover, for no reason, Christina didn’t like this woman very much.
Before Judy sat down at the table, she greeted Senior Mr. Hopkins as usual, then politely nodded to
Betty and greeted her. When Judy sat down, she glanced at Christina,
Judy seemed very curious if her daughter-in-law had really forgotten all about them,
As usual, Patrick came to the table at the latest. He was still sitting in his usual seat, right next to
Christina.
However, Christina reacted so much that she immediately stood up.
Patrick turned around and stared at her with deep eyes.
“… I’ll sit next to my aunt.” Christina felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by everyone, but she still
insisted on not sitting next to Patrick.
Patrick was expressionless. He hesitated for a second, sat down and did not deal with her.
Christina was obviously relieved.
Senior Mr. Hopkins and Judy saw this scene and had different thoughts in their hearts.
It was different from what Christina had imagined. She thought that such a big family would have a
large group of people gathering around and eating in a mannered way.
There were not many people in the Hopkins family. In the past, Ms. Hopkins and Brianna Hopkins were
there, but now there were only a few of them at the wide long table.
Everyone was quiet and reserved eating the meal.
After dinner, Judy said good-bye to Senior Mr. Hopkins and went back to her room.
Patrick and Betty were talking about something. They walked out of the living room of the main house
side by side…
“Sit down. Have a cup of tea.” Christina felt very insecure here. She wanted to go out with her aunt, but
Senior Mr. Hopkins stopped her.
Christina’s grandfather also liked to make tea, so she did not refuse Senior Mr. Hopkins. She looked atnovelbin
Patrick’s grandfather, nodded, and sat next to the old man.
Senior Mr. Hopkins was very patient with the tea set and made a pot of top-grade tea.
The golden tea was poured in the small white jade cup, and the fragrance of the tea was everywhere.
“Is it good?”
The old man took a síp himself and asked casually.
Christina took a sip and nodded.
It tasted better than all the tea she had drunk. If her grandfather were still alive, Christina would
definitely steal some back
… When you were pregnant, I didn’t let you drink it, and you stole it twice.” Senior Mr. Hopkins snorted
and
brought up the past.
Christina was surprised. “Did I really steal it?”
“The butler and Nanny Faang can testify.”
As the two of them tasted tea and talked about the past, the atmosphere gradually became less distant.
“… Grandpa, I think the way you look at me is strange.”
When Christina called him “grandfather,” Senior Mr. Hopkins was immediately excited. He knew that
Christina had a bad temper. Even if he forced her, she might not be willing to call him “Grandfather”.
“What’s so strange? I won’t eat you.”
Senior Mr. Hopkins suppressed the excitement in his heart and still put on a serious face.
“I think the way you look at me is as if you’ve done something wrong to me and you’re ashamed.”
Christina was fearless and straightforward.
“What did you say!” Senior Mr. Hopkins almost choked on a mouthful of tea.
“… And don’t you think the lotus pond you built there is horrible at night?”
Senior Mr. Hopkins’s face darkened. He really didn’t know how to communicate with her.
The old butler who was standing next to her coughed desperately, trying to remind Christina of her way
of speaking
Christina misunderstood and thought that the old butler was hinting that she could leave.
So Christina got up quickly, “Then I’ll go.” She didn’t have any intention of staying and chatting with
Senior Mr. Hopkins.
Senior Mr. Hopkins glared at her back angrily, “Look, she’s even better at irritating me now!” The old
butler smiled helplessly.
Now Christina gave people a more youthful, sharp, and simple feeling,
She expressed herself directly and didn’t know how to hide her thoughts.
There was indeed a deep sense of guilt in Senior Mr. Hopkins’s eyes, because he knew Brianna’s
mental illness long ago. Senior Mr. Hopkins should be partly responsible for Christina’s injury.
Christina walked out of the living room of the main house and walked around curiously,
It was about 6 o’clock in the afternoon. The sun had just begun to set, and the afterglow shone.
Christina appreciated the beautiful garden scenery in front of her. It was really pleasing to the eyes.
The Hopkins family made their house like a palace. They really knew how to enjoy life.
Soon, Christina found that her aunt and Patrick were standing at the artificial fish pond talking about
something. Her aunt looked a little embarrassed.
Christina put on a straight face, thinking that her aunt had been bullied.
She walked over quickly.
Facing the breeze, she could hear their conversation. “She just got out of the hospital today. It’s better
to let her sleep in the guest room with me tonight.”
“Let her sleep in the master bedroom.”
“But Patrick, you can’t be so anxious. Christina doesn’t remember you at all. If you let her sleep with
you tonight, it… it’s like she’s going to sleep with a strange man.”
When Christina heard this, she became nervous. She accidentally stepped on a stick with her left foot
and made
a sound,
Patrick was very sharp and immediately turned around.
That moment, the two of them looked at each other in astonishment.
