Chapter 34


    Patrick had been very busy these days. Christina heard he went to New York


    on business


    Christina enjoyed the big bed when Patrick was abroad. However, Mr. Hopkins wanted her not to be so


    to teach!


    She thought Patrick would ignore Old Master, but she didn’t expect him to agree to return before


    Sunday.


    “Maybe he wants toe back to see


    Miss Jones.”


    Christina flipped entertainment


    through the


    magazines


    expressionlessly, hertone a little sour.


    Cecilia was so popr now that she could see her advertisement everywhere. It was all thanks to


    Patrick


    “Cecilia, you’ve been on the popr search list ever since the kiss mark thing. Today, your fans are


    over ten million, and the advertisers are making an appointment.”


    Anne, the manager, walked into the dressing room excitedly. Halfway through, she asked, “Cecilia,


    what’s wrong? Are you in a bad mood?”


    The woman in front of the dressing


    table hadpletely lost her delicate


    demeanor. She looked angry and turned around to scold the makeup


    artist behind her. “Get out!


    There were only the two of them left in the dressing room. The manager, Anne, thought for a while and


    asked, “Has Mr. Hopkins note to see you since you jumped into thekest time?”


    Hearing this, Cecilia’s face became increasingly sullen.


    Anne guessed suspiciously. “Could it be that Mr. Hopkins didn’t stay with you that day? Mr. Shepherd


    and I saw you two lying in bed.


    “Stop saying!” Cecilia looked angry.


    “Don’t be so angry. Even if Mr. Hopkins


    didn’t stay for the night, at least he came over immediately when he heard


    the news that you jumped into the


    “Anne, do you know that I’m especially worried about that Christina in the Hopkins Family.” Cecilia said


    through clenched teeth


    “Christina? The woman who got pregnant and married into Hopkins Family?” The manager was


    stunned for a moment and then smiled disdainfully.


    “Cecilia, you don’t have to worry at all. That woman is just your substitute. Think about it. You’ve


    disappeared for


    three years, and there are no other women around Mr. Hopkins. He only


    thought of her as you that night


    because he missed you so much. To be honest, I think that Christina is rather pitiful.”


    “No!” Cecilia quickly retorted with suppressed uneasiness in her eyes, “Anne, you don’t know…


    As she spoke, Cecilia’s expression became a littleplicated and she hesitated to say, “I, I used to


    be with Patrick, but we, we never slept together


    “What?! You never… Have sex!”


    How could this be possible? The manager was shocked.


    “I’m especially worried right now. This Christina is pregnant. If they fall in love with each other in the


    Hopkins Family,


    Patrick will forget about me. Without


    Patrick, how am I going to continue my


    career…”


    Cecilia’s face was full of unwillingness, and when she mentioned Christina’s pregnancy, there was a fit


    of undisguised jealousy in her eyes.


    Why could Christina be so lucky and get pregnant? If she was the one who was pregnant, she would


    have been the young madam of the Hopkins Family!


    The manager patted her on the shoulder andforted her. “Mr. Hopkins thought you were dead, so


    she got the chance. I heard that they


    just had the marriage license. Even the


    wedding was canceled by Mr. Hopkins himself. After giving birth to the baby, she will have no use.


    She paused and smiled, “You’re not the


    same. You two used to be lovers, and now everyone respects you. Mr. Hopkins is your backer. He


    makes you so popr now. It’s all because he dotes on you.”


    When Cecilia heard this, her beautiful eyebrows raised with pride.


    Indeed, her career was at its peak and no one dared to offend her.


    “That’s true, but I still don’t like that Christina. Anne, find a chance to remind her who the real mistress


    of the Hopkins Family is!”


    Cecilia red at herself in the mirror


    with a sinister look. Christina’s face


    was simr to hers, and she was always


    uneasy


    On Sunday. Patrick really came back from New York.


    “Patrick are you tired?”


    Christina and he had juste out of the parent-child prospective parents’ ssroom and Christina


    asked him.


    Patrick got off the ne at seven in the morning and apanied her to the ‘ss’ at eight. He didn’t


    even have time to rest, and there was some tiredness between his brows.


    However, when he heard Christina


    beside him asking if he was tired, he


    paused and looked at her suspiciously.”


    “What are you looking at?” Christina was a little ufortable with his


    deep gaze.


    Patrick’s expression wasplicated. He immediately turned his head and did not answer.


    Did she care about me? Did that count?


    Christina thought he was very strange, She guessed that he was probably under the pressure of Mr.


    Hopkins to apany her to the ‘ss!

    “Patrick, let’s go to the opposite square


    and sit for a while before we go back.”


    She spoke softly, her eyes fixed on his tired face. She wanted him to sit down and rest for a while


    before driving


    back


    Patrick grunted as an agreement.


    The two of them walked side by side into the square Christina picked out a stone chair under the shade


    of a tree and sat down. Patrick sat beside her.


    The spring festival had already passed half a month today was 14th, tomorrow would be the 15th of the


    first lunar month, so there were big rednterns hanging around.


    Christina saw a vendor selling cutenterns across the street and she shook Patrick’s arm excitedly.


    “Patrick will thentern festival be held in Hopkins Family tomorrow? Will you hangnterns?” With a


    smile on her face, she asked, “Are we going to have sweet dumplings tomorrow


    night?”


    But when Patrick heard this, his face immediately became gloomy.


    It was as if thentem festival was a taboo that could not be said..


    Christina also noticed the change in his mood. “What’s wrong with you?” She didn’t understand. His


    expression seemed to have aplex. Hatred.


    Patrick didn’t answer her, but Christina suddenly wanted to know. But just as she was about to ask, a


    new message came from hercell phone.


    “Who is this?”


    Patrick casually saw the screen of her


    cell phone, but suddenly his eyes turned cold and his voice sounded


    displeased.


    Christina was opening the new message on WhatsApp and was about to tell him.


    But Patrick thought of some bad memories and thought she was guilty and refused to tell him. He was


    even


    more eager.


    “Who is this? Brother Charlie? Christina. Don’t forget, you’re married now!” His cold tone was tinged


    with a


    warning


    “He is Charles.” Christina looked up


    and retorted angrily.


    Patrick’s grim


    face froze when he


    heard the name


    He turned to the other side and said in


    a strange voice, “I see.” He said softly. He had misunderstood her.


    Christina did not care much about this, but Patrick seemed to have suffered some irritation just now.


    “Patrick, I just said thentern festival -“She said again.


    “Christina, what’s your WhatsApp ID?”


    Patrick seemed unwilling to answer her, and he changed the subject coldly.


    When it came to Christina’s WhatsApp, she was very displeased.


    “Charles has no connotation. He actually tells me that my WhatsApp nickname has no meaning.” She


    herphone


    Patrick looked at the ‘Invincible Tina’ WhatsApp nickname and paused for a moment before an


    imperceptible smile shed across his face.


    Christina clearly saw him smiling, Towered her eyes, and began to wonder if her name was really too


    childish.


    “Hey. Patrick, what do you think of my nickname?” She approached him and


    asked.


    Patrick raised his eyebrows and saw


    her nervous face. He reached out and


    rubbed her head. “Very good.” He said


    two words calmly.


    Inexplicably Christina looked into hi


    smiling eyes, and her cheeks were slightly flushed


    When he smiled, he was so handsome.


    Looking at him like this, Christina’s face was getting hotter and hotter..


    “Are you blushing?”


    Patrick suddenly frowned and reached out to poke her forehead. His expression was a little serious.


    “Did you catch a cold?”


    Christina was embarrassed,


    “No!” She raised her voice and pointed


    at the convenience store across the street, feeling a little uneasy. “Patrick, buy me a bottle of mineral


    water. I’m thirsty


    Patrick looked at her for a while, then stood up and walked towards the convenience store across the


    street.


    Christina was still sitting on a stone chair under the shade of a tree, watching handsome Patrick buy


    water for her, and her heart beat a little faster


    for no reason


    She reached out her hands to hold her


    red cheeks and quickly cooled herself


    down, lest he suspect that she had


    caught a cold.


    It was really dangerous to be with such a handsome guy all day..


    “Miss Dickens.


    All of a sudden, a car stopped behind


    her and a woman stuck her head out of the window and shouted at Christina,


    Christina’s face became a littleplicated when she heard the sweet voice.


    It was her…


    Christina didn’t have to look back and she could recognize the voice. It was Cecilia, the big star who


    had recently


    be popr.


    “Miss Dickens, can you do me a favor?” Cecilia shouted at her again.


    Christina was a little confused. She called Christina Miss Dickens, not Mrs. Hopkins. It seemed that she


    did it on


    purpose,


    But this was Miss Jones, the person who Patrick liked, and Christina didn’t want to offend her. She got


    up from her chair and walked towards the white Bentley


    “What do you want?” She asked indifferently


    Cecilia was sitting in the car, wearing a stunning outfit and smiling. “Miss Dickens, Patrick and I spent


    the night at my ce a while ago and he forgot his tie. I didn’t got a chance to return it to him. If you


    don’t mind, can you do it


    for me.”


    They spent the night together and he


    left his tie.


    Christina’s face turned a little pale


    when she heard this.


    “Ah. Okay


    Christina looked at Cecilia in the car, inexplicably feeling a sense of inferiority.


    Cecilia Saw Christina’s lowly appearance, her lips curled up in arrogance, and pretended to look


    around in the car. She looked up and said embarrassingly, “Oh, I’ve been so busytely, and the tie


    seems to have been left in the lounge again.”


    “In that case, I’ll return it to Patrick myself next time. Miss Dickens, sorry” The smile on Cecilia’s face


    deepened with a hint of pride.


    Christina stood by the side of the road


    and watched Cecilia’s car away.


    What are you doing standing here?” Patrick bought some water and walked up to her and asked.


    Christina unconsciously took a step back and took the mineral water from his hand. “Thank you.”


    Patrick narrowed his eyes and sensed her cold and distant attitude towards him.
