Chapter 126
They slept until 6 pm.
A maid knocking on the door woke them up.
"Yeah." Christina heard the voice and answered vaguely.
Nanny Faang had made dinner. Today Old Master Mr. Hopkins and the other would return home. They
had to go to the Main Residence for dinner.
"Patrick, get up."
She was surprised that he slept so soundly but he was in high spirits this morning.
She shook him, then noticed that his body temperature was high, and she immediately got up
nervously. "Patrick, are you having a high fever?" She pressed her hand against his forehead, and her
voice became irritable.
The man quickly opened his eyes. "I''m fine."
His voice was a little hoarse.
He took her hand away, sat up, and tried to get out of bed.
"You seem to easily have a very high fever these days." Christina crawled to him and wrapped her
arms around his waist.
He might have just woken up, and his expression was a little stunned when she rested her hands
around his waist.
He turned to look at her worried expression suspiciously. He reached out his palm and patted her on
the head. "You made me angry and that''s why I have a fever now." He seemed to tease her on
purpose.
But Christina didn''t find it funny at all. Instead, she thought that he deliberately changed the subject.
"Patrick, I''m telling you, you have to see a doctor to take medicine when you''re sick. Don''t let people
tell you about themon sense of life all day. It was the samest time. You worked overtime when
you had a high fever..."
He had gotten out of bed, tidied up his clothes, listening to the woman nagging.
He walked up to her and went out of the bedroom with her in his arms. "Christina, it''s not easy for you
to finally learn to care about your husband."
Christina was so angry that she wanted to kick him.
They got to the dining room of the Main Residence. Old Master Mr. Hopkins and Judy had sat down.
Barbara was here. She looked up and smiled at them. On the other side, Brianna seemed timid and sat
straight.
There was not much emotion on Patrick''s face. After they sat down, the housekeeper on the side
immediately motioned for the maid to serve.
"Miss Parker, I''m so sorry." When Nanny Faang served soup, the chronic disease of her right hand
rpsed and her hand trembled, so the soup was spilled out.
"It''s okay." Barbara didn''t care. Instead, she stood up and took the spoon from Nanny Faang''s hand.
"Let me do it. I''m not an outsider." She smiled amiably.
"Grandpa, eat more." Barbara personallydled a bowl of Ginseng Soup for the old man.
Old Master Mr. Hopkins grunted softly, looking worried, without appetite.
Judy, on the other hand, was obviously very friendly with Barbara. She was very happy to take the
Ginseng Soup from Barbara and casually asked, "As you are transferred back to A City to work, have
you made arrangements for your house?"
"Barbara, you transferred back to A City from Seattle?" The old man suddenly looked up, as if he was
concerned about this matter.
The other maids came over to serve the soup. Barbara sat down calmly and began to eat. Looking at
the old man, she replied, "Yes, the work has been handed over. If there is no ident, I should have
been developing my career at home."
Judy''s smile grew brighter hearing this. "It''s good to stay at home. After all, you had to look after Derek
in the first ce."
"Don''t talk about business while eating."
Old Master Mr. Hopkins suddenly interrupted their conversation in a deep voice.
Judy immediately dialed it down and ate peacefully, while Christina did not dare to say a word at the
table. asionally, she nced at the man beside her. Patrick ate like he was working,

expressionless.
"Barbara, do you have any ns after you are back?"
"Brianna like you so much. You cane to the Hopkinses to apany her often. Otherwise,
ording to her temper, she might not be able to make friends."
After dinner, they went to the living room for tea and fruit. Judy talked with Barbara.
Christina was pregnant and she couldn''t drink tea. When passing by, she heard the two women
if the woman hadn''t always given her a cold shoulder.
"When did I offend her?" Christina had reflected more than once.
Like her, Patrick didn''t like to stay in the living room. He went straight to the study.
"I don''t even dare to ask now."
Invincible Tina said, "I don''t want to argue with him."
Christina walked out of the living room and did not want to stay in the bedroom. She ran to the
backyard of the garden and sat down. A full moon hung high above her head, which seemed like a
happy reunion. But for today''s dinner, she felt embarrassed.
She didn''t appreciate the flowers and the moon, so she took out her cell phone to kill time.
She happened to see Crystal sending her some new messages on WhatsApp, saying that a new boss
woulde to thepany tomorrow, and she was a little excited.
Pig Is Rising texted, "Christina, don''t mess with Mark anymore. You didn''t see that day. He was really
nervous. I heardter that they found you in the Clifton District, he was relieved."
Thinking of yesterday, Crystal felt shocked.
Pig Is Rising said, "Christina, I''m speechless. You are kind to take the child home. How did you get lost
by yourself? Fortunately, you are fine. Otherwise, I think your husband will turn the A City upside
down."
Christina looked at the screen of her phone, she looked gloomy with a surge of emotion surging in her
heart.
She knew that he cared about her.
Pig Is Rising said, "The executive parachutes tomorrow is Barbara. Isn''t she the imaginary rival you''re
talking about?"
Invincible Tina replied, "I didn''t say she was my rival. I just thought her rtionship with Patrick was
weird."
Pig Is Rising said, "Christina, don''t worry. Barbara is quite decent. When I was studying in the united
states, I had worked in the Seattle branch for half a year as an intern. Although I was not qualified to
directly contact Miss Parker, who had a good reputation in thepany."
Crystal thought about it and remembered another thing. "By the way, I heard that Barbara is very
devoted. Her boyfriend was seriously ill and has been unconscious in Seattle private hospital for
several years. She goes to the hospital every day to take care of him, waiting for him to wake up."
"Barbara''s boyfriend?"
After finished chatting with Crystal, Christina found that it was gettingte, she got up and prepared to
go back to his bedroom.
She clutched her phone in her right hand and frowned. "Charles never mentioned her boyfriend. I''ve
been at Seattle hospital for so long. Why haven''t I heard of him?"
Patrick''s study was next door to their bedroom. Christina heard some noise when she went to the
staircase.
The study door seemed to be opened impatiently. "I know you came back for Derek. I will definitely find
him." It was Patrick''s voice, but it was too far for her to hear clearly.
Christina slowed down and stood at the corner of the stairs, looking furtively at the study.
"Patrick, what did grandpa say to you?"
"You''re the one I''m worried about."
