Female Novel
Chapter 852
"He suddenly appeared that I thought it was a thief, but I seemed to have scared him, so the crystal
bowl broke," Christina explained briefly.
"Is that crystal bowl meaningful to him?"
No matter how numb Christina was, she could tell that Henry treasured that bowl.
May kept staring at the bloodstains left at the door and said, "At that time, we lived a poor life in F
Country. That was the first gift I gave him."
Christina suddenly felt so sorry about that.
"What brand and model is that bowl?" She asked gingerly, thinking of going to the supermarket to buy
dozen of it as compensation.
May smiled at her helplessly, "That factory closed down."
Perhaps it was destined. He wouldn't have to bring breakfast to her every day, and he would have time
to do something that matters.
Christina nodded at May stiffly, and then she turned around and left. After walking downstairs step by
step, she jumped into the car, ran red lights all the way, and rushed back to the Hopkins family.
She knocked on the study door with her head and cried sadly, "Patrick, help me."
Patrick rubbed his temples. He didn't know why his wife was getting more and more troublesome.
Patrick thought that the idea of bringing breakfast every day was quite disgusting, but Christina was still
crying miserably outside the study.
Patrick didn't want to interfere in their affair, but Christina successfully worn him down and he sent a
surveillance video to May's phone.
May received a short video from an unknown number.
She didn't click on it.
She had always been prudent. She would ignore these unknown messages directly because she was
afraid that her phone would be hacked if she clicked on them.
However, not long after, she received another text message, "You must marry him within three days, or
I'll let him go back to F Country."
(Who sent it? What did this person mean?)
Because Henry cut his finger and bled this morning, May had been a little absent-minded all day.
The sudden came text message was puzzling to her. The person who sent this seemed to be
threatening her to do something.
May ignored the message. The next morning, she paid attention to the movement outside the door and
waited for more than two hours, but Henry did not come.
Once you got used to something, it was hard to quit it.
Henry didn't come to bring her breakfast. She was in a trance all morning and made mistakes at work.
She couldn't help but worry if something had happened to him.
"Be careful."
The hot coffee she had just made almost poured on her. Tony reacted quickly and steadied the cup for
her.
"Are you feeling unwell?" Tony was worried about her, "I've been observing you by the side all morning.
You seem to be a little spaced out."
May smiled awkwardly at him, "Thank you."
Ever since Tony suddenly proposed to her that day, she had been avoiding him. Every time she saw
him, she made a detour deliberately.
"Did what happened last time scare you?" Tony walked out of the pantry side by side with her. He said
apologetically, "I didn't mean to. I hope you don't mind..."
Tony didn't dare to expose Christina and Charles, so he had to carry the can.
"It's okay." She smiled at him.
She didn't take what happened last time seriously because she didn't think it was a big deal.
"May I ask you out for dinner tomorrow?" He suddenly said.
May subconsciously wanted to refuse. "I just want to treat you to dinner as a friend, and I also want to
apologize to you for the false alarm last time." Tony looked at her sincerely.
"You often come to our engineering department to look for the after-sales technician, so you can't keep
avoiding me. Even if we have no fate to be a couple, we can still be friends."
May thought that she would be too stingy if she refused his invitation, so she said, "Okay."
"Are you going on a date with Tony?"novelbin
Christina could always make things complicated. "Tony has a good character. I've investigated him. His
family background is clean, and he works hard on his job. I heard that there is a vacancy at the senior
level of the engineering department. If he is capable enough, I'll try promoting him..."
"Stop! Stop!"
May immediately interrupted her fantasy, "It's not what you think. It's not a date."
"I'm just invited to a dinner by him as a colleague. We meet each other almost every day, but what
happened last time was so embarrassing, so we want to eat together openly and talk things out that we
can get along well in the future..."
"Well." Christina stopped expressing her thoughts.
After a while, she reminded May, "Do you want to buy a new dress before going on a date..."
"It's not a date, for real!" May chuckled.
She wasn't supposed to dress too gorgeously, but taking the whole thing lightly was kind of rude. She
chose a casual outfit in the wardrobe.
When they walked out of the apartment, Christina glanced at the door with guilty. She hesitantly asked,
"Did he bring breakfast today?"
May said calmly, "No."
In the past two days, Henry did not bring breakfast again. Maybe he did get over it.
Christina did not dare to say anything now. She was here to learn how to make apple pie. Now that
May had an appointment, she couldn't waste May's time, so she drove May to the restaurant.
On the way, May's phone rang when it received a new text message. Christina was concerned about
May's new relationship, so she took a look at May's phone.
"Why did Patrick text you?" Christina's words were full of surprise.
"What?"
May was shocked.
When did Patrick text her? Why did he text an ordinary employee like her?
"The second message was sent from Patrick's number," Christina said when she turned the steering
wheel at a corner.
"What message did Patrick send you? Is it about work?"
Christina felt something was wrong, "Patrick usually asks others to convey messages to me. If it is
something urgent, he will call me directly. I've never seen him type and text patiently..."
May had listened with growing fear.
Christina parked the car outside the restaurant. She looked up and saw Tony was already sitting
upright in the restaurant.
"May, go in first. I'll go home and ask Patrick why he texted you."
There was no jealousy in Christina's tone. Instead, she looked at May worriedly. Did her man do
something sinister to scare her friend again?
Christina waved at May and drove away quickly.
May was still standing on the same spot and checking the text message received on her phone. Which
one was from Patrick?
She was dumbfounded.
"You must marry him within three days, or I'll let him go back to F Country."
"It was from Patrick..."
May thought that this message was sent to her by mistake, but if the message was from Patrick, it was
obvious that he was warning her.
"May, why are you standing outside the door? Come in. It's cold outside." Tony came out and pulled her
into the restaurant.
Looking at her frightened expression, he asked with concern, "What's wrong?"
May didn't have time to answer him. She sat down and immediately looked for the short video that she
had received before, which was also sent by Patrick.
Inexplicably, she had a bad feeling about it.
