Chapter 479
Christina and Patrick looked at each other at the door in a daze.
At this moment, Larry came from behind and shouted breathlessly, "What happened?" He suddenly
received a call and rushed over. Finding that Christina and Patrick were here, he got much more
nervous.
Christina ignored Patrick''s staring but looked at Larry. She said calmly, "Come in, Derek was feeling
sick."
As she spoke, she couldn''t wait to push Larry in.
Larry and Patrick passed each other at the door of the apartment. Although Larry felt that there was
something strange, he was not in the mood to probe now. He immediately went into the house and
found that it was in a mess, "Ah! What happened? Who made it?"
Christina turned around and shouted at him. "Forget it! Eric is in the bedroom."
Larry looked flustered. He immediately ran into the room.
Patrick had more doubts about that and wanted to walk in.
But Christina stopped him and gave him an unreliable reason. "Derek doesn''t want others to enter his
apartment."
Patrick stood face to face with her. His eyes were so deep and sharp that Christina did not dare to look
into them. But she still remembered Derek''s words "Never let others know." No matter what, this was a
promise between her and Derek. She must keep her promise.
Patrick did not break in, but his eyes became much more mixed.
They stood still, while Christina was still trying to close the door. Even if Patrick did not walk in, he
could see the mess in the room.
The night was quiet. The light breeze rumpled her long hair.
She looked at him speechlessly and had to lower her head.
Patrick raised his head thoughtfully. He looked at the full moon hanging high in the sky. Tonight was the
fifteenth day. The moon was bright and its outline was oozing with a film of scarlet.
Ten minutester, Larry ran out of the room and told Larry, "His condition is stable now."
"Really?" Obviously, Christina couldn''t believe it.
She hesitated. "Shall... Shall we call an ambnce?"
"No."
Larry immediately interrupted her. "Derek asked me to tell you, don''t worry. He''s fine. He''ll recover
soon..."
"I must check." Only checking it by herself could Christina believe in it.
Larry scolded her coldly. "Is it appropriate for a married woman to enter a single man''s apartment at
midnight?"
Christina was annoyed. "It''s none of your business." She was about to go in.
Larry was stern. He blocked the door and gave him an earful, "Hurry back. Shall we talk about it
tomorrow? Don''t stand here. I''m going to lock the door."
As he spoke, Larry looked narrowly at Patrick who was always silent.
Larry was not unwilling to let Christinae in. It was because he was afraid that he couldn''t stop
Patrick from following her step. Thus, he had no choice but to eject both of them from the apartment.
But Christina would notpromise. "I''ll stay here tonight." She had made her decision.
Larry raised his voice and sneered. "You must ask your husband for his agreement."
At this moment, Christina felt a little guilty. She didn''t dare to face Patrick now. She knew it was her
fault and said, "I, l keep my principle very well. Trust me..."
While Christina was speaking, Larry pushed her hard and mmed the door.
Larry knew how to deal with this tough girl. It didn''t work to negotiate with her. The best way was to kick
her away.
Christina was stunned by Larry''s action.
She punched the door angrily. "You are despicable and shameless! Why did you lock me out? It was
me who called you here! Open the door, open the door!"
"I must check Derek!"
All the threats and warnings were useless. Christina kicked the door angrily and warned him, "If
anything happens to Derek, I''ll tear you apart tomorrow!"
Larry snorted disdainfully inside the room.
Christina walked out of the apartment with Patrick silently in a mixed feeling.
Outside the neighborhood, two luxury sports cars were parked on the side of the road. The dazzling
ck Ferrari was driven by Christina, while the dark gray Porsche parked behind was driven by Patrick.
Christina wanted to drive back home by herself.
But when she looked up and saw Patrick standing at the door of the Porsche. The door of the
passenger seat was opened by him. He stood there silently and seriously.
It meant that if Christina should take the same car with him.
Christina had known him for a long time. His expression indicated that he was in rage.
Christina hesitated for a moment. She didn''t dare to drive back by herself. She got into his car and sat
down in the passenger seat.
Patrick mmed the door. Without saying anything, he quickly sat down on the driver''s seat. He did not
look at her anymore, but looked straight and drove the car. The narrow space in the car was in silence
again.
Patrick drove at a high speed, while he felt fretful. He had forgotten to ask her about the badge of the
Strozzi family.
Soon, they arrived at the Hopkins family''s Eastern Garden.
Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.
Nanny Fain and the maids called them cautiously, but were told "No supper." Then the servants left.
The atmosphere in the Eastern Garden was inexplicably tense. Christina supposed that it must
because Patrick was in a sulk , making the servants nervous.
She felt sympathized with them.
In fact, she was also very sure that Patrick would not throw his temper in front of her, even if she
stopped him outside TY Apartment just now.
After Christina went back to bedroom, she took her nightgown and went into the bathroom to take a
bath while she was thoughtful.
"Shall I tell him about Derek tonight?"
"Patrick must be in a bad mood now."
When she came out of the bathroom, the door of the other bathroom opened almost at the same time.
Patrick walked out in his nightgown.
They looked at each other tacitly.
Christina quickly withdrew her sight and walked quickly to the bed. She slipped into the quilt.
Patrick turned to be unusually calm. He walked steadily to the other side of the bed andy down.
Christina felt was a little nervous and thought that Patrick would question her. But Patrick did not speak
as if nothing had happened.
Then, Patrick turned down the light of themp and was about to sleep. Christina also breathed a sigh
of relief. It seemed that he would force her.
Nevertheless, just in a sudden, he pulled the quilt vigorously.
Christina could not be sure if Patrick did it on purpose. But she had been dragged over already. They
leaned against each other with thepany of warmth and fragrance after bathing.
Theyy their backs to back.
Christina was a little sulky. She didn''t want to speak first, but Patrick was snatching the quilt from her.
He was so powerful that Christina was about to be defeated, although she also seized the quilt tightly.
"Patrick Hopkins, what are you doing?" Christina lost herposure and turned to scold him.
Patrick fixed his eyes on her with a gloomy expression at the moment she turned around. It seemed
that he had achieved his intention, then he let go of the quilt.
"Are you crazy?!" Her heartbeat was rumpled, but she still pretended that she was in the right.
At least, she couldn''t enter thepetition of the quilt for no reason.
Patrick pursed his lips and said nothing.
Christina felt more perplexed under his steady gaze. She immediately turned her back to him.
For a long time, a murmur came from the side of the bed. "Childish." Christina wrapped herself with the
quilt and closed her eyes.
The bedsidemp was dimly lit, because Christina was used to sleeping with themp lighted. Patrick
slowly turned around and stared at Christina, who was breathing evenly. She had fallen asleep.
"It''s really childish." Patrick suddenly murmured.
He reached out and pulled the quilt to prevent her head from being covered by it.
Sometimes, he didn''t know what he wanted. Maybe he just wanted her to talk to him, or wait for her
sight.
Patrick cast his eyes at the ss window on his right. It was a chilly night outside. The full moon was
gradually covered by thick clouds. He couldn''t fall asleep tonight.
