Chapter 499


    Brianna''s blind date arranged by Lassie was finally left unsettled.


    After all, Brianna didn''t put the me for it on Lassie. Though Christina was dissatisfied with what


    Lassie had done, she couldn''t pursue the matter since she did not want to stir up trouble.


    Recently, Lassie always picked holes in Christina''s behaviours. "I don''t understand why your sister


    didn''t resist at all. Now it seems that I put my finger in her pie."


    At night, Christina stayed in the bedroom andined to Patrick about it before going to sleep.


    "Brianna has been like this since she was a child."


    Patrick had never interfered in the disputes between these women, but he really couldn''t understand


    why Christina said she needed to be defensive against Brianna thest time.


    Christina sat at the dresser, looking at herself in the mirror andbing her long ck hair.


    She turned her head and looked at Patrick suspiciously. She pointed at him with herb and asked in


    a rather imposing manner, "Patrick, tell me the truth, were you with Brianna before?"


    Patrick had juste out of the bathroom, and his short ck hair was still a little wet. He approached


    her with a white towel.


    "Brianna is my sister. Did Lassie tell you that Brianna used to be a child bride?" Patrick looked at


    Christina with clear eyes.


    Seeing that he was so honest and frank, Christina felt a little bored. She originally thought that he


    wouldn''t have said frankly if she hadn''t forced him. She continuedbing her long hair violently, and


    a few ck hairs even broke.


    "... Are you jealous?"


    Patrickpressed his lips and chuckled. He picked up the big hairbrush in her hand andbed her


    hair. He was very patient, smoothing her hair back over her scalp.


    Christina sat upright and looked at the man who was standing behind herbing her hair in the


    mirror. She swung her legs and enjoyed being served by him. She replied proudly, "Why am I jealous?


    Derek and I also had an engagement when we were kids and we even exchanged love token."


    Though Brianna was adopted by the Hopkins family as Patrick''s child bride, Christina was Patrick''s


    legal wife now and they even had two kids. She was in an unassable position.


    How could she be jealous because of some jokes made by Patrick''s elders?


    "How''s Derek?"


    Patrick''sbed her hair with a little force, and Christina felt a pain in her scalp. Christina was


    depressed because she found that Patrick was the one who could not stand those old stories.


    Men like to be jealous the most.


    "I transferred a hundred dors to Derek''s ount." The mention of Derek turned on the gas. "Do you


    know why I transferred it to Derek? He actually called me this afternoon and said I owed his money..."


    She originally wanted to share Derek‘s embarrassing story with Patrick, but before she could finish her


    sentence, Patrick was gloomy. He stuffed therge white towel into her hand and changed the topic


    seriously.


    "Ibed your hair just now. Now it''s your turn to help me rub my hair." Patrick took it for granted.


    "Patrick, I''m your wife, but you''re so fussy."


    Christina grabbed the big towel and deliberately rubbed his short hair tousled. "Men are unreliable. Do


    you know it? Chandler and the Stephenson family always bully Crystal. If one day I can''t bear it


    anymore and rush to the Stephenson family to judge them, you must get my back unconditionally.


    Understand?!"


    As Christina rubbed Patrick''s hair, sheined and made requests.


    Patrick chuckled and said nothing.


    "Why are Chandler and his family so biased towards Geoffrey and Erica? Chandler''s parents looked at


    Erica in such an affectionate way that I couldn''t even stand.


    Christina deliberately tied the towel around his neck. She raised her eyebrows in an exaggerated


    manner, pretending to be fierce and threatening.


    "Patrick, I don''t have many true friends. Now, my friend has been treated unfairly, of course I''m very


    dissatisfied. Stop imagining helping Chandler just because he''s your friend."


    Patrick nced at Christina sideways and knew that she was childish. He suddenly stood up and put


    his arms around her waist. With great force, he lifted her up. Christina''s heart missed a beat. She was


    afraid of falling so she quickly held his head tightly with both hands to avoid getting hurt.


    Christina could not resist and patted him on the head. "Hey, hey, put me down..."


    Carrying her in his arms, Patrick walked straight to their big bed and said in a deep voice, "Christina,


    you strangled me just now. I am defending myself."


    How could Christina be able to y tricks with Patrick?


    "Don''t meddle in the affairs of the Stephenson family, and Brianna and Lassie." Patrick reminded her


    because he didn''t like her to interfere in other people''s affairs.


    "Christina, if you''re really that bored, you can think about me."


    Christina was thrown onto the bed, and her body bounced on the soft bed. She immediately turned


    over to defend herself and asked doubtfully, "Think about what?"


    Christina and Patrick often yed such a game. Knowing that Christina was never obedient, Patrick


    liked catching her and throwing her on the bed when she got into a huff.


    Just as she was about to jump out of bed again, Patrick grabbed her ankle and pulled her back...


    "If you''re bored, you can think about my desires." Patrick''s voice was low, hoarse, and full of desire.


    Christina blushed.


    Patrick covered her with his body. "Hey, I''m not ready yet..." Christinained coquettishly. "How


    long do you need? I''ll give you at most five minutes..." Patrick felt challenging to suppress his desire,


    especially to Christina who was so dull. He felt that he was always suffering before enjoying the


    intimate night with her.


    Perhaps it was because Christinained to Patrick about Lassiest night, the next morning at


    breakfast, grandpa warned seriously, "If anyone dares to introduce Brianna to anyone with selfish


    intentions, don''t me me for being cruel and breaking up the family rtionship, humph!"


    Senior Mr. Hopkins warned not only because he cared about Brianna who was autistic but obedient,


    but also because Patrick inadvertently mentioned how unreliable the man Lassie introduced to Brianna


    Although Patrick asked Christina to mind her own business, he cared about Brianna.


    At breakfast, Christina felt satisfied when she heard grandfather warning Lassie.


    And Christina thus understood that thoughining to her husband was shameful, it worked!


    It was boring to idle the days away in the Hopkins family. Christina had nothing to do apart from serving


    Patrick at night, so she often called Crystal when she was free, sharing her pregnancy experience with


    Crystal and hoping that Crystal could smoothly give birth to a healthy baby.


    The sun was shining brightly.


    At noon, Christina sat on a chair under the shade of a tree and checked the time with her phone


    frequently.


    She and Crystal agreed to buy some maternity supplies and baby clothes today, but she waited for a


    long time and didn''t see Crystal.


    "We agree to meet at 10:00, but it''s almost 12:00..." Crystal was actually two hourste.


    Crystal had always been used to arriving early. What happened today?


    Before, they talked on the phone about pregnancy do''s and don''ts and parental experience. Christina


    reminded her what cosmetics she couldn''t use when she was pregnant. Today, they nned toe


    out to buy daily necessities such as shower gel and cream for pregnant women with loose skin on


    bellies.


    Crystal said that they''d better not meet at the Stephenson family because it was a little awkward to let


    they know they were going to buy these things. She asked Christina to meet in the Central Park located


    in the business street of the east of the city and said that she might be a littlete.


    But it was almost 12 o''clock and Crystal didn''t show up.


    Christina made five calls but no one answered, and she also sent a bunch of messages to Crystal on


    WhatsApp, but Crystal didn''t reply.


    "Did she meet an ident?"


    Christina was worried, especially now, Crystal was in the early stages of pregnancy. What if Crystal met


    an ident on the way over and went to the hospital?


    Christina thus got up and hailed a taxi to the Stephenson family.


    Christina urged the driver to speed up. In the parking area across the road from the Stephenson family,


    she immediately ran out of the car.


    "Christina!"


    At this moment, in thenes of oing traffic, a dark gray Porsche was driving towards her. The man


    in the driver''s seat rolled down the window. It was Chandler. He looked a little gloomy and shouted at


    Christina anxiously.


    Christina heard someone calling her and turned to look.


    Christina felt strange to meet someone she knew. Chandler seemed to be angry and was ring at her.

    Chandler seemed to have just driven out of the Stephenson family and was in a hurry. He parked the


    car aside, where it was clearly marked as a non parking area.


    He anxiously mmed the door and strode towards Christina.


    He looked like he was going to seek revenge on her.


    Christina stood still and looked at Chandler. It was obvious that he was going to stir up trouble. What


    happened? Christina felt she didn''t offend him.


    "What happened to Crystal?"


    Christina was not dull, and she soon recalled that Crystal had missed their meet today.


    Crystal asked her out but was actually two hourste. Was Crystal in trouble?


    Chandler stormed up to Christina and gritted his teeth. "Christina, what have you said to Crystal? Don''t


    mislead her. We ordinary people can''t afford your noble habits!"


    Chandler was not as gentle as he used to be. Instead, he scolded in a sharp tone.


    Christina was confused.


    "What happened? Where''s Crystal?" Christina suppressed her anger and asked him again.


    Chandler was even angrier when he saw that Christina didn''t feel guilty at all.


    Chandler felt that Christina had been indulged by the Dickens family since she was a child. After she


    married Patrick, she became more wilful because Patrick spoiled her. But it was her business.


    However, now, Christina interfered with his marriage, and Chandler couldn''t stand it.


    "I''ve always respected Patrick, so I respect you. No matter how unreasonable you are, we won''t take it


    seriously. But Crystal is not you. She''spletely different from you. Christina, leave her alone..."


    "What are you talking about?"


    Christina lost her patience and red at him with a darkened face.


    Chandler''s face also darkened. "Crystal has run away after leaving a message because of you! Where


    is she?!"


    He was furious and questioned Christina.


    Christina was shocked.


    Did Crystal really run away after only leaving a message? Crystal didn''t tell anyone.


    How could Crystal do so? How could that coward Crystal have the guts to do such a thing?


    She was always caring about others'' feelings and was always worried that if she did something wrong,


    she would cause trouble. How could she suddenly be so wilful?
