Chapter 464


    Charles and Erica both looked at her. It seemed that she was the one who was making trouble.


    Christina remembered what they had just said in the room.


    Patrick deliberately asked her to participate in those so-called charities and made her busy with those


    things.


    He didn''t believe her and didn''t want her to go to Derek''s apartment.


    He suspected she had hurt Ms. Hopkins, and he secretly installed many surveince cameras.


    Christina was getting angrier as she thought over, "Excuse me, can I go now?"


    Patrick stood in her way. If it was usual, she would leave angrily by pushing him away. Now she had


    gone to several charities and had learned how to think for her husband and maintain her husband''s


    dignity from those socialites, she had learned how to be gentle and obedient to her husband.


    "Or do you want me to serve you to drink?" She gritted her teeth and said sarcastically.


    Patrick looked straight at her and said with a little angry voice, "I didn''t ask you to learn those."


    "I''m really sorry. I''m not smart enough and myprehension is too poor. I can''t learn anything too


    profound." Christina raised her face and lowered her voice, trying to say calmly.


    "I only learned one thing during this period of time, that is, if there are suspicions between the couples,


    their endings are always one cheat on another or divorce."


    Cheating, divorce.


    These words were a big taboo in marriage.


    Patrick''s face darkened when he heard them.


    Seeing his gloomy face, Christina immediately asked, "Mr. Hopkins, can I go now?" She was trying to


    provoke him.


    "Don''t worry. I''m just going home, not looking for a man outside."


    Christina could not pretend to be gentle at all and she had already run out of her patience. After roaring


    at him angrily, she picked her red sweater and strode away without looking at him.


    Suddenly, the vibe turned down that no one made a sound.


    Charles and the others looked at each other, then they looked at the figure on the other end of the


    corridor that was gradually disappearing from their sights.


    Crystal had already foreseen it. In such a short time, how could Christina learn to curry favor with men?


    mming the door and leaving right away was what she would do in her nature.


    It was actually good for couples to quarrel, which meant there were still ways to make up for it.


    Crystal envied her for daring to speak out her thoughts straightforwardly. Even with a man like Patrick,


    she could vent her dissatisfaction. How ufortable it would be if a couple never express their inner


    thoughts to each other.


    She nced sideways at Erica, who was still so bright and charming. Recently Erica was staying in the


    Stephenson family, she had quitted the bad habits of smoking and staying upte, which made her

    more beautiful.


    But Crystal felt she herself was even more overshadowed.


    Crystal''s was full of bitterness inside. What a perfect match when Erica and Chandler stood together.


    Erica had been watching Christina''s leaving. She raised her eyebrows, "Awesome." There was no


    emotion of likes or dislikes in her words, she was just telling the truth.


    Regardless of the asion, Christina left whenever she wanted. There were too many restrictions in


    modern society and too many fake smiles on people''s faces, while the true temperament was a luxury.


    Chandler nced at Crystle. His first thought was that he didn''t want Crystal to have too much contact


    with Christina. If Crystal got such a temper, he would not be able to bear it.


    "We go first." Chandler took Crystal away.


    Erica looked at Crystal and said generously, "Take my car. Chandler has a client to visit. Don''t let him


    rush twice."


    Crystal didn''t say anything. They said goodbye to Charles and left.


    Charles eximed in his heart, "The three of them could be in the same space!" Erica had changed a


    lot and disarmed her hostility to Crystal. Crystal was good-natured and may not have any strong


    emotions.


    Patrick had never been interested in other''s family affairs. He walked into the private room and sat


    down to think about something.


    Charles immediately ran over and sized Patrick up, "I thought you would be angry." It seemed that


    Christina''s leaving had not affected him much.


    Patrick asked him indifferently, "What do you think I will do? Smashing something here?"


    "If it was before, you would have a cold face all day," Charles told the truth. It was easy to feel that if he


    was in a bad mood.


    "The fastest way to train a man''s will is to marry a woman. You can learn to control your emotions every


    day." Though Patrick''s tone was t, he had learned a little humor recently.


    Charles burst intoughter as he listened.


    In the evening, Patrick came back home.


    "Are you still angry?" He sat directly by the bed.


    Christinay on her side, ignoring him and pretending to sleep.


    Patrick nced at her, got up, and rummaged through the closet himself. Then he put on the Santa


    us red sweater, looked at himself in the mirror seriously.


    Christina rolled over and shouted, "What are you doing? It''s not yours!"


    She had already nned to give the sweat to someone else tomorrow.


    Christina was furious. Patrick took out his phone and opened his rarely logged-in WhatsApp, ced the


    evidence in front of her, and said, "This is the photo you sent me when you bought the clothes this


    afternoon."


    Patrick added, "They are all mine."


    "Shameless!"


    She did take some photos and sent them over when she bought his clothes this afternoon. But now she


    was unhappy and didn''t want to give them to him.


    "They are mine. Don''t give it to anyone else." Patrick''s tone was firm. After that, he took his nightgown


    and went into the bathroom.


    Christina watched him walk into the bathroom as usual, without mming the door or saying anything


    sarcastic.


    Why was he so calm?


    She suddenly realized that Patrick had upgraded.


    In the past, when they quarreled, they always had a cold war because she couldn''t handle it, and


    neither could he.


    But now... She had already lost a battle to him.


    "... It was clearly his fault." Christina was wrapped in the sheets and sulked.


    When Patrick came out, he went straight into the big bed. Seeing Christina ignore him, he hugged her


    from her back.


    "Don''t touch me," Christina moved her body.


    In the past, when they quarreled, he would definitely sleep in the study. How could he be so cheeky this


    time? She still didn''t get used to the fast pace of dealing with the marriage problem.


    "Christina, it''s not good for your health to sleep in anger." His deep voice came in her ear, and the


    warm breath stirred her heart a little.


    No, they didn''t usually get along like this, and he wasn''t that clingy. Christina couldn''t stand this erotic


    vibe.


    She turned over and faced him with a dark face. She pretended to be angry and scolded him, "It''s your


    fault. You don''t believe me and force me to participate in those charity projects!"


    Patrick looked at her, "It''s all my fault."


    She was dazed for a while. In the past, she used this method to deal with him. Now he admitted his


    mistake directly, personally, and face to face.


    She was suddenly speechless.


    Christina was still unreconciled, hitting Partick''s strong chest with her head, "I don''t want to go to the


    charity. I don''t want to go to the charity..."


    Patrick looked at her childish actions and smiled.


    He remembered that when she was a child, she didn''t want to learn how to y the piano. She was


    forced to practice and cried, "I don''t want to learn, I don''t want to learn..."


    When Christina saw that he was smiling, she became even angrier. She dived for his arms and tried to


    bite him. Entangling together, Patrick''s voice suddenly became blurred, "If you can''t fall asleep, let''s do


    something else..."


    "Don''t even think about it!"


    After getting married, Patrich had changed a lot. If something was unchanged, it must be that stinky


    man liked to think with their lower bodies as usual.


    Just like Patrick had already seen through her, she shoutedst night that she would never participate


    in charity projects again, but the next day, when a socialite asked her out to meet and talk things over,


    she still went there though with a dark face.


    This also made her stand Derek up again.


    It was agreed that she would go visit Derek today but she was dragged by these trivial things that she


    didn''t like.


    Crystal sent Christina a message at noon, saying that she was sorry for not being able to visit Derek.


    Christina received the message when she was reading the documents about supporting an orphanage.


    It was until then did Christina realize that she forgot to go visit Derek.


    She remembered Larry said that Derek didn''t let him into the apartment yesterday, so he didn''t know


    about Derek''s health condition. Every time she called and sent messages to Derek, he only replied


    "Okay" and "Alright."


    Christina frowned and thought for a while. Then she carried a stack of documents and threw them into


    her car. She turned around and told other socialites that she had something to do at home and she had


    to leave first. They did not dare to stop her.


    She turned the car around and went straight to Derek''s apartment.


    Christina wanted to find a store to buy some daily necessities for Derek.


    But just as she parked the car outside Derek''s apartment, she saw a familiar figure.


    She instinctively ran over. However, it was Sunday, many elderly and children were ying around the


    neighborhood in the afternoon. After running over two alleys, she couldn''t catch up with the figure.


    "... Brianna?" Christina was alert.


    That figure just now seemed to be Brianna, but why did she appear nearby Derek''s Apartment?


    Her expression changed suddenly. She turned around and immediately ran towards the apartment.


    She grabbed her phone and called Derek, but no one answered.


    She became more nervous. When she rushed to his apartment, she saw the door was open.


    She immediately rushed in. Seeing the furniture in the room was in a mess, her heart was squeezed.


    "Eric!" Christina shouted and looked for him in the room.


    "What happened?" Larry walked out of the kitchen quickly. He was surprised to see Christina, "Why do


    youe here suddenly?"


    "Where''s Derek?" Christina grabbed him and asked.


    Larry''s expression was normal, "He''s going to the hospital for a reexamination today. I am packing


    some clothes for him to stay in the hospital for a few days..."


    "Then, why are things here so messy?"


    "These are the new furniture." Larry felt her nervousness, "Didn''t you see that? I want to change the old


    ones while Derek is hospitalized. The people from the movingpany had just left. Later, they will


    send the fridge and the water filter over. They will clean them up."


    Christina calmed down and looked around again. Now she realized that it was the new furniture that


    messed up the room.


    It seemed that she was thinking too much.
