Chapter 517
How did it feel to be spoiled by a wife?
It was rare for Patrick to have time off from work. He sat in a custom-made leather chair, holding his
phone with his long fingers and scrolling through WhatsApp. Usually, he thought it was a waste of time
to use social software, so the secretary set his schedule and informed him about social interaction.
However, Christina liked to use WhatsApp, so he asionally logged in to see what she had posted.
Coincidentally, he saw Chandler had just written this sentence in his moments.
''''A man spoiled by his wife deserves to be envied. ''''
Patrick frowned.
Themunicator on the table rang. "Mr. Hopkins, Mr. Shepherd is outside the door now..." The
secretary said seriously in a sweet voice.
"Let him in."
It was quitemon for Charles toe over to the IP&G Group. He opened the door and walked in
with a yful smile.
"Are you in a good mood," Patrick put his phone on the table, looked up at him, and added, "Or did you
do something wrong?"
Charles revealed a stiff smile, afraid that Patrick would notice something.
He couldn''t say he came to pry because he was worried that Christina woulde to tell Patrick on
him.
"Were all your ex-girlfriends nice to you?" Patrick suddenly asked him.
Analyzing his sudden question, Charles asserted Christina should have notined yet, ording
to experience.
He said seriously in a pretending posture, "My ex-girlfriends loved me to death...But it would be
troublesome if I met someone who was pestering me."
"How did they treat you well?"
Not intending to listen to his nonsense, Patrick cut to the chase.
From Patrick''s cold tone, Charles was not sure whether he was in a good mood or not for the time
being, so he said, to be on the safe side, "Patrick, I found that Christina has be very considerate
and virtuous recently..."
"Really?" Patrick raised his eyebrows, wanting him to continue.
Charles smiled confidently. Whenever he wanted to avoid the topic, he would tter Christina, which
was the most pleasant to Patrick.
"Christina lives with Crystal. I saw she did the housework herself several times. She did cleaning,
mopping, and dishes washing. She learned to bake biscuits from Crystal, which tasted good. It turns
out she has a little talent for cooking."
"Oh."

With an expressionless face, Patrick gave a meaningful word.
Experienced, Charles immediately felt something was wrong.
"Patrick, did Christina tell you something?" Charles braced himself and asked, afraid that the
salespeople of hispany had offended Christina.
"What should she say to me?" Patrick asked vigntly.
At this moment, Charles began to regret his asking.
Suddenly, the phone on the table lit up and rang.
Patrick picked up his phone and answered directly in a cool tone, "What''s the matter?"
Charles was relieved, seeing Patrick ignore him. It must be Christina, or Patrick wouldn''t have
answered immediately.
It was because of her and thanks to her.
He scolded Christina in his heart.
The woman on the other end of the phone spoke bluntly. "Patrick, I''m not going back to the Hopkins
family for dinner tonight." It was to inform him.
Patrick darkened his face a little and answered softly, "Okay."
Being with him, Christina was not as cautious as Charles, but knowing Patrick''s temperament very well,
she knew he was not happy about that.
"Originally, Crystal asked Chandler to select a new house and eat out tonight, but Chandler seemed to
have something urgent to do. Crystal was bailed on, so I went back to have dinner with her..." She
exined dutifully.
But Patrick quickly asked her in a cold and deep voice, "What are you doing over there, mopping the
floor, washing the dishes, or baking cookies?"
Charles looked at Patrick in a daze, who was clearly angry.
Hearing this, Christina felt guilty for a moment and did not know how to answer, wondering why he
knew that she was doing housework here.
The night before yesterday, Patrick said his shoulders were sore after he had a video conference in the
study for a long time. He asked her to give him a massage, but she confidently told him that she had no
time and asked him to lie down in the massage chair by himself.
Charles was secretly d that it was not pointed to him this time.
Christina was very confused who told Patrick these trivial things.
"... Tell our grandpa I''m not going home for dinner tonight," Pretending not to know that he was angry,
Christina added awkwardly, "I''ll go back early and massage you."
Christina had never improved her massage skills.
Patrick held the phone without saying anything.
Christina darkened her face, seeing him not satisfied.
"... Then I''ll go back and wash your hair." She remembered once when Patrick''s hand was injured, she
took the initiative to wash his hair, which made him seem to be in a good mood.
Holding the phone, Patrick still didn''t speak.
Christina''s face darkened. "Then, what do you want?"
"Christina, you''re not willing to do anything for me, right?" Patrick suddenly asked her in a calm tone.
Feeling that he was a little strange today, Christina thought maybe someone gave him some bad
counsel.
"Patrick, we''re already married. We shouldn''t be mindful of narrow personal gains and losses, right?"
Christina deliberately softened her tone.
However, Patrick still used a very calm tone and deliberately became estranged from her. "Christina,
you don''t seem to have done anything for me. You didn''t give me anything as a gift. In fact, you just
used my card."
She was surprised that he made it so clear.
Not daring to lose her temper, she immediately ran into the room and asked Crystal in a low voice,
"How to coax a man?"
Crystal was confused by her question. "Be good to him and care about him."
"He''s not a child anymore." Christina used her own way directly. "Patrick, my period is over. I''ll be up
there tonight, so you can lie down and enjoy yourself."
Then, she hung up the phone.
Hearing what she had just said, Crystal gradually came to her senses with a flushed cheek. "You,
you''re very open..."
Christina was expressionless. "Didn''t you do that? Then, how could you be pregnant?"
Having sex was the most directpensation to coax a man.
In the huge CEO''s office on the top floor of the IP&G Group, Patrick''s handsome face froze for a few
seconds. When he came back to his senses, his wife had already hung up the phone.
"Ahem..." Charles wanted tough, but he didn''t dare.
Just now, Christina shouted impatiently on her phone, "Patrick , my period is over. I''ll be up there
tonight, so you can lie down and enjoy yourself."
She said it so naturally.
Although it was ridiculous, it did work.
Patrick nced at Charles in a good mood and asked, "Did youe here today for the Forest Farm
Development Project?"
There was a new tourism project in the IP&G Group, and a forest area was to be developed. One could
both tour and adventure the original forest, so manypanies were eager to participate in this
project.
The Shepherd family was also interested. Every year, the group had a lot of projects, which covered a
wide range of areas. Patrick usually did not ask whether the cooperationpany won the bid or not.
Of course,working resources were always the key to sess in the business world.
Raising a smiling face, Charles didn''t respond.
He wouldn''t say that he came here because he didn''t want the Shepherd family to lose the opportunity
on ount of Christina.
Patrick took the project documents directly from the second row of the bookshelf behind him and
signed a few words. "Ask your brother to contact the personnel department tomorrow."
Charles looked excited. "I see."
He was extremely satisfied with the result.
Christina had just baked a te of biscuits in the kitchen.
"It''s a little burnt."
ncing at her biscuits, Christina was satisfied. "Crystal, don''t eat burnt food when you''re pregnant. I''ll
take these back to feed Patrick, who is not picky."
Watching as Christina carefully bagged the biscuits, the edges of which were burnt ck, Crystal
wanted to ask her to throw them away.
"I know why Patrick was so weird just now."
Christina tidied up halfway and looked up with some anger on her face. "It''s all your man''s fault!"
Crystal was shocked.
Christina rushed over, took out her cell phone, and pointed at a message in the moments.
"Have a look at what Chandler posted."
''''A man spoiled by his wife deserves to be envied. ''''
It turned out that Chandler had set her up.
This sentence was so hateful that it would causeparison between men
"Crystal, don''t spoil your man too much. If he gets his way, he will be arrogant." Christina taught Crystal
angrily. "Take what happened today for example. Chandler asked you to select a new house. He was
an hourte even though he knew you were pregnant. After that, you were going to the restaurant for
dinner, but he said that he had something else to do and asked you toe back on your own."
"He had no choice but to work to earn money for our family." Crystal was more considerate of her
husband.
Christina looked at her closely. "Are you really not angry at all?"
Crystal smiled and shook her head.
Christina sighed. "What a good luck that Chandler had married you."
Crystal blushed sheepishly. "Don''t say that."
"I can''t stand it when being broken so many ns." Christina had her own opinions. "We have to keep
the appointment if we make one."
"... Crystal, you''ve been standing behind him all this time. Will you feel tired waiting for him?"
Crystal maintained a happy smile. "It''s okay. It''s not a big deal. Couples have to be tolerant and
understanding of each other."
Christina looked shocked, because she was not that enlightened.
If she had said that one day, Patrick would have thought she was terminally ill or possessed.
"... I didn''t mean to say anything bad about Chandler. I just want to remind you that marriage is not
something you give unterally."
Crystal teased, "Didn''t Patrick always give unterally?"
"No way. I''ve paid a lot too."
Christina continued to put the burnt biscuits into the bag. Crystalughed, hearing what she said
confidently.
