Chapter 374


    The ski resort here was in a membership system. There weren''t many tourists so it wouldn''t be too


    crowded.


    There was a professional coach to guide the neers. Crystal was skiing for the first time. She


    stepped on two snowboards, walked carefully, and did not dare to walk with a ski pole at all. Chandler


    It was also Geoffrey''s first time learning to ski. He was a little anxious and plunged into the snow. The


    handsome boy was a little embarrassed today.


    "This is not fun."


    Geoffrey was a little resentful. He thought there might be something wrong with the skis.


    Crystal had the same idea as him. She looked down to re hatefully at her skis. Why was it so


    difficult?


    Of course, only these rookies would have these thoughts. On the other side, Charles stepped on a


    snowboard, holding ski poles with both hands, and flew down the mountain quickly, turned freely, and


    shuttled around, which appeared very handsome.


    Some female tourists cheered at Charles and took photos of him to put on social media.


    Crystal looked at Charles with jealousy. She thought that he must have learned to ski to pick up girls.


    "Aunt Hopkins is so awesome!"


    Geoffrey suddenly shouted excitedly, his eyes shing with worship.


    Christina stepped on the skateboard, chose a difficult direction of the mountain, and rushed down. She


    jumped in the air andnded steadily. She moved nimbly like a snow elf, with a flick swerve, and then


    disappeared.


    Chandlermented, "Looks like a professional yer."


    "No, she just practised it when she was a child."


    Crystal watched Christina slide down the mountain at top speed. She subconsciously took out her cell


    phone to take a picture and then shared it on the social tform. Christina''s skiing just now was so


    cool that the photos quickly attracted a lot of likes.


    Chandler listened to her and praised, "Gifted."


    Crystal showed aplicated expression and sighed. "She''s just bold."


    "Christina said that when she learned to ski from her father for the first time, she didn''t listen to the


    instructions to put on the skis well, directly rushing down the mountain, but she couldn''t control her


    sense of bnce. As a result... She fell and rolled into a snowball, hitting a tree before stopping. That


    time, she was scolded severely by her father..."


    When Charles heard them talking, he turned to look at Christina, who was in high spirits, taking off the


    cable car from the foot of the mountain. He was speechless and covered his face.


    "Well, it''s not easy for Donald to raise such a daughter."


    It must have been a shame to have snowballed herself when skiing.


    Geoffrey listened attentively. He was encouraged, putting on his ski again and continuing to practice


    valiantly. He wanted to learn from Christina.


    "Uncle Shepherd, remember to take a picture with Mrs Hopkins for meter."


    Charles looked at Geoffrey''s appearance of henchman. He really didn''t know why he liked Christina so


    much.


    "Mrs. Hopkins''s moves are too dangerous. Geoffrey, don''t imitate her..."


    While Christina learned new skills, she would not concerned about falling. Even though she may make


    mistakes in skiing now, she still liked to try new difficult movements merely because she found them


    interesting.


    Her idea was simple. She wanted it, so she kept trying.


    The air at high altitude was a little thin, and the cold temperature of the whole snow-capped mountain


    stimted her mind to be very clear. Christina went down against the wind, and her vision was wide


    with snow-white. She was skiing at a high speed with her emotion suddenly calmed down as if all her


    troubles could be forgotten at this moment.


    At this time, in the Dickens family, Betty and Mrs. Dickens were sitting in the living room, frowning and


    annoyed.


    "Betty, Donald spoke so harshly yesterday. Do you think that the Hopkins family guy would retaliate


    against us?"


    Mrs. Dickens was worried. Yesterday, Patrick suddenly came and was scolded to kick out. Patrick must


    be embarrassed, but he left without a word, which panicked her a lot.


    Everyone knew that the Hopkins family was not one to be trifled with, especially this male grandson of


    the Hopkins family.


    The more Mrs. Dickens thought about it, the more worried she became. "Why don''t we call Christina


    now to tell her about the situation, and then let her mediate it, saying that the thing that happened


    yesterday was just a misunderstanding..."


    "No one is allowed to tell her about it."


    Donald limped over with his walking stick, saying in a stern voice.


    Mrs. Dickens was still worried. "But if they make trouble to us..."


    "What can he do to our Dickens family?"


    Donald threw his crutch heavily on the ground and sat down with difficulty. Talking about Patrick, he


    was as angry as yesterday.


    Betty felt that Donald was aggressive and said slowly, "Christina is ying in Switzend. We''d better


    not bother her about these things. We don''t have much contact with the Hopkins family in the future.


    Let''s settle future things in future."


    But as soon as Betty finished speaking, thendline phone in the Dickens family living room rang.


    It was from the Hopkins family!


    Senior Mr. Hopkins called personally. He said word by word with his hoarse but dignified voice. Betty


    was listening to him.


    "Are you going toe to the Dickens family this afternoon in person... And bring the two children?"


    Betty muttered in shock and disbelief.


    Mrs. Dickens was overjoyed when she heard this. "Will he really bring the two children to our family?"


    Donald frowned and whispered to Betty, "Turn on the loudspeaker."Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org.


    Betty immediately turned on the loudspeaker, and everyone could hear Senior Mr. Hopkins clearly. "I''m


    very ashamed of what happened to Christina. We Hopkins family apologize to her. That bastard Patrick


    did a lot of wrong things. As his elder, I didn''t give him enough education in time. Christina was bullied


    when she married into the Hopkins family..."


    Senior Mr. Hopkins fell his face and apologized sincerely. How could they afford it?


    Betty hurriedly replied, "It''s nothing. You said it too serious."


    "Christina is also very headstrong. She lived in the Hopkins family previously and was taken care of by


    you. She never said that Hopkins family was not good to her..."


    Originally, they nned to stay away from the Hopkins family forever. But seeing Senior Mr. Hopkins''s


    attitude, they were embarrassed to refuse. Besides, they really wanted to see the twins.


    "The children are still young and not suitable for the journey. We''ll visit the Hopkins family tomorrow


    morning." Donald finally replied calmly to the phone.


    "Then I''ll wait for you toe tomorrow." Senior Mr. Hopkins was also very polite.


    After hanging up the phone, the Dickens family was extremely excited. Mrs. Dickens grabbed Donald''s


    hand and said hurriedly, "I was worried that you''ll refuse him just now. So long have I expected to see


    my great-grandson."


    Bettyined a little with anxiety. "Why didn''t you say that we''ll go there today just now but put it off


    until tomorrow?"


    Donald was not angry as before, saying with a sigh, "We''ll go tomorrow so that we have time to buy


    some small gifts today. It''s the first time we''ve seen children. We should buy some Red Knots, Ruyi


    Pearls, and Safety Locks to bring a good fortune."


    "You''re right, you''re right."


    Mrs. Dickens was in high spirits. "Let''s go shopping now..."


    As for what had bothered them before, they forgot all about it in an instant.


    In Switzend, Christina and the others had a good time skiing for two days.


    Charles sat down to rest and drink water, quickly organizing their videos and photos of the past two


    days to share them on WhatsApp.


    "By the way, tomorrow we''re going to a welfare home down the mountain to do charity."


    "You can transfer money directly to them."


    Christina saw that Charles and Crystal were very active in sharing on social media, while she was not


    interested in it. She felt that it was strange that Charles was so kind to do charity when she went on a


    trip.


    "Money is not everything. We do it with love. We only know the love of the world when wee into


    contact with those poor and weak children."


    Christina didn''t want to pay attention to his preaching. She took out her phone and browsed it casually.


    Suddenly, she dazed.


    Her aunt posted a few photos on social media, which showed they were in the Hopkins family.


    Charles nced closer curiously and became excited. He pointed to the screen of her phone and said,


    "Christina, look, this twin baby is your son..."


    Her father, Donald, was stiff and held a child in one hand, but his serious side face and eyes were filled


    with love. Her grandmother also held the other child tightly with both hands, smiling happily with her


    eyes narrowed.


    There was a familiar figure in the corner of one of the photos. It was Patrick as silent as usual.


    But in the photo, he was sitting in the corner of the sofa, swiping his phone seriously. Patrick was not a


    person who liked to waste time ying with his phone, and he seemed a little absent-minded.


    She didn''t know what he''s looking at with his phone.
