Chapter 739
No one thought about why a cold-hearted person like Lucy would take care of Derek. They immediately
shouted, “Yes, yes, welcome back!”
Charles put his arms around Derek enthusiastically.
Derek frowned slightly and he felt uncomfortable to be surrounded by a group of men.
Most importantly, why was he here?
Why was he on a cruise ship?
Patrick was happy to see that Derek was confused from afar. He pulled Christina beside him and said,
“Don’t bother him. It’s rare for Derek and Charles to get along so well. You can talk with him tomorrow.”
Christina originally wanted to rush over. Derek had no relatives or friends since he was a child. It was
rare to see him get along well with Gary and Charles.
Derek had never been treated so warmly before. Charles and the others were bored on the cruise ship.
There was nothing to do, so they said they were going to hold a party to celebrate Derek.
Derek did not understand what was going on with these people. He still rejected them coldly as usual,
but Charles and the others still patted him on the shoulder and laughed as if they didn’t notice it. They
took out the champagne at the bottom of the cabin and drank it up happily.
Derek had a weakness and few people knew it, which was the truth that he was not good at refusing
others.
Christina had been pestering Derek since she was a child. He had no choice but to remember
everything about
her seriously
Derek rarely drank, but he was a man who never got drunk. This made Charles and Gary depressed.
They were really inferior to Derek. God was so unfair.
This made Charles and Gary drink more and more. Looking at the people around him who were all
drunk and lay on the table, Derek even had no chance to find someone to ask about the current
situation.
Derek thought to himself that he should ask Christina about it tomorrow.
But it backfired.
The next day, for some reason, Derek did not get up until noon. Lucy brought lunch and went to the
cabin where he rested to find him.
She knocked on the cabin door a few times and it opened quickly.
Before Lucy could speak, Derek in front of her stared at her face thoughtfully.
“What’s the matter?” His tone sounded complicated and suspicious.
Lucy was in a daze and she didn’t know how to answer.
“What exactly are you looking for me for?” He stared at Lucy and he asked repeatedly.
Lucy thought for a long time. For some reason, she felt a little disappointed. “Sequelae.” Then she
shook her head and turned around.
Raphael stared at her back as she turned to leave.
Raphael didn’t know what had happened.
During dinner, everyone gradually discovered a secret. Derek would only come out on the full moon,
and Raphael himself seemed not to know about it.
Charles and Gary had a tacit understanding and kept quiet.
Of course, they didn’t think too much about it, because the cruise ship arrived at the destination port
the next
day.
Before they could get off the boat and step on the familiar land. A large group of people was ready to
rush onto the boat and surround them.
Even Patrick did not expect it.
Gary and Lucy were confused and didn’t know what was going on.
“You’d better all follow us obediently now!” These people came prepared and knew when their ship
would dock.
They were driven into cars in batches and the cars drove in the same direction. novelbin
Just as Patrick was confused, he heard a familiar voice when he got into the car. “Young Master
Hopkins.” The driver was the old butler of the Hopkins family.
Christina was also in the same car. She looked surprised. “Butler Paul?”
“Why, why do you kidnap us?”
As the old butler drove, he looked at them carefully from the rearview mirror. He had a complicated
feeling. Looking at the tattered clothes of Young Master Hopkins, he knew that they must have suffered
a lot this time. When he rushed on the boat just now, he found that they were even more miserable
than refugees.
“Senior Mr. Hopkins is sick.”
The old butler deliberately lowered his head, looking like he was focused on driving, and said in a low
voice.
Patrick’s face was expressionless when he heard this. Instead, Christina grabbed his arm excitedly.
“Your grandfather is sick!”
“You’ve left for so long. It’s been more than half a year.”
“You just left without any explanation. You don’t have any sense of responsibility at all. Now the
company is in a mess. Senior Mr. Hopkins is over 80 years old. He worked hard and missed you all day
long. He said that if he had known that, he would have adopted a child. And he also kept saying at the
hospital bed that he didn’t have a grandson to take care of him anyway.”
The old butler scolded them as if he were reading a script.
Patrick was silent. Christina looked ashamed and lowered her head to reflect on herself. She felt
unfilial.
When they arrived at the Hopkins family, they thought they were going to be punished.
Nanny Faang burst into tears of joy and rushed over. “It’s good for you to be back safe. It’s good for
you to be back safe.”
“When you weren’t at home, we all studied Buddhism and copied scriptures every day.” Nanny Faang
told them how miserable her life was.
Christina was even more guilty to face Senior Mr. Hopkins.
