Chapter 519


    "Christina, are you hallucinating?"


    Christina sat in the driver''s seat with her hands on the steering wheel, looking a little confused. Lucy


    was also shocked. Of course, their lives were the most important in the current situation.


    The dark gray limited-edition Rolls-Royce was running at a speed of 120 kilometers per hour on the


    mountain highway. Just now, because of Christina''s distraction, the car''s left side scratched against the


    fence of the highway.


    Besides Christina and Lucy, there was a strange ck cat that came out of nowhere.


    Christina was a little distracted. She turned left into an exit and muttered, "I thought I heard... the cat


    talking."


    She nced at the ck cat, which was still sitting on the steering stick of the car. It sat upright.


    Although the wind was blowing, it sat still like a greek statue carving, with a mysterious nobility.

    Even Lucy became more vignt and looked at the "uninvited guest" with a frown.


    The ck cat had dark and shiny hair and a long tail. It was well-proportioned and muscr. Its golden


    cat eyes and showed an aura of unruly arrogance. All these showed its former owner had a high status,


    and it had been treated well.


    "Whose cat?"


    Lucy was more concerned about the cat owner''s background because of her professional sensitivity.


    Just now, they stopped the car in Crescent Garden for a short time. Did the ck cat jump into the car


    at that time? And she didn''t even notice it.


    It''s said that ck cats were the sign of mystery.


    The luxurious sports car was still running on the highway. Lucy said in a serious voice, "Christina, don''t


    think about anything now. Look ahead and focus on driving. Don''t care about the ck cat."


    The most important thing was to arrive at the destination safely.


    Christina held the steering wheel tightly and felt a little nervous. Why did a ck cate up


    inexplicably?


    They were two hourste, but fortunately, they finally arrived at the vi safely. Charles trotted to meet


    them when they entered the gate of the vi.


    "Miss Dickens is really arrogant."


    Charles teased her on purpose, but he wasn''t really angry.


    However, Christina did not look as he had imagined. Instead, she looked absent-minded and kept


    looking back as if she was looking for something.


    "What are you looking for?"


    Charles also looked at her car and his eyes lit up. It was a limited edition Rolls-Royce. There were only


    12 sets in the world.


    "Christina, I just invite you for a dinner. Why did youe here to show off again?"


    Christina ignored him. Instead, she leaned over to Lucy and said nervously, "It''s gone!"


    "Where is the ck cat? Did it disappear?"


    Christina looked very shocked and immediately thought of many incredible scenes.


    Ever since she gave an Ancient Coin to Derek, she hadn''t had any hallucinations for a long time. At this


    moment, a cat suddenly appeared and ran into her car. It was also a ck cat. The more she thought


    about it, the stranger and scarier she felt.


    "Before the car reached the parking space, it jumped out of it..." Lucy had a quick eye. The cat jumped


    so fast that it almost disappeared in a sh.


    If she hadn''t seen it with her own eyes, she would have thought like Christina, thinking that it had


    disappeared out of thin air.


    But such a sudden appearance of a ck cat and its posture, eyes, and agility arouse Lucy''s curiosity.


    Charles walked behind them and heard them talking about cats. He wanted to step forward and say


    something, but he found that they were so intimate that he had no chance to interrupt.


    But when did Christina start to get so familiar with Lucy?


    "Mr. and Mrs. Shepherd, I''m sorry, I waste for something on the way."


    The waiter opened the door of the private room for them. Although Christina didn''t like to follow the


    rules, she still had basic etiquette. She stepped forward and apologized to the elders first.


    Mrs. Shepherd smiled generously. "Fortunately, I''ve guessed that. I knew Charles wouldn''t be able to


    invite you. I had two pieces of pancakes before I went out."


    As for the other men of the Shepherd family, well, no one cared about them.


    Christinaughed as well.


    Suddenly, Mrs. Shepherd seemed to have found something good. She looked at Lucy with bright eyes


    and was very excited. She immediately stood up from the chair, walked over, and shook hands with


    Lucy.


    "Miss, are you Christina''s friend?"


    Mrs. Shepherd was full of enthusiasm. "Can I know your name, where your hometown is, how many


    members of your family are there? Are you married?"


    Lucy was dumbfounded. She had never liked to be too close to people and subconsciously wanted to


    pull her hand back. However, Christina winked at her and let Lucy hold back her temper and be kind to


    ordinary people.


    "Mrs. Shepherd, my friend Lucy is a celibate."


    Christina quickly spoke with a smile to ease the tension.


    Charles patted his forehead and sighed helplessly. "Mom, don''t be so excited every time you see a


    woman."


    Mrs. Shepherd frowned. "If I hadn''t given birth to you unfilial children, I wouldn''t have worried so much!"


    Charles knew Mrs. Shepherd''s words could not be refuted.


    He was very sensible. It was better to find a seat and sit down quietly.


    Lucy nced at Charles and looked at Mrs. Shepherd sincerely. She said in a serious tone as if


    reporting, "I''m sorry, your son is not my type." She always liked a strong and wild type.


    Christina was surprised.


    Mrs. Shepherd was also in a daze for a while, then smiled and waved her hand. "Forget it. Fate can''t


    be forced." She added, "But sometimes you don''t like it now, maybe you''ll like it in the future."


    Charles had been used to his mother''s tease since he was a child.


    He naturally changed the topic and looked at Christina. "Chandler called and said that something


    happened to hispany. He and Crystal are noting. Let''s order now."


    "But Crystal sent me a voice message before, saying that Chandler would pick her up."


    "Chandler probably didn''t pick her up. An important client of hispany just arrived today. He''s going


    to pick up this client personally."


    Christina looked dissatisfied and cursed in a low voice, "He''d rather pick up his client than his wife.


    Bastard..."


    "It''s not easy for Chandler to start a business."


    In fact,pared to many people who started from scratch, Chandler was already very good. After all,


    that was hispany''s major client, he couldn''t be more careful.


    Christina also knew that Chandler needed to support his family. She just felt a little indignant for


    Crystal.


    Crystal had been stood up by Chandler many times.


    "So Crystal is alone at home now... If Chandler doesn''t have time to drive her over, she can take a taxi


    or call me to pick her up."


    Charles handed the menu to Christina and let her decide what she wanted to eat. He said casually,


    "Have you ever thought about Crystal''s feeling? She''s afraid she''ll trouble you too much... Even if


    you''re good friends, she wants some dignity."


    Especiallypared to Christina, Crystal would feel ashamed easily.


    Oh, what a sentimental woman!


    Lucy tutted. She couldn''t understand what this kind of woman was thinking about. She looked up and


    said to Christina.


    "Christina, I don''t need that so-called dignity. If you have anything good to eat, drink, or have fun with,


    just give them to me. Especially those luxury cars of the Hopkins family, just throw them to me. I can


    take it."


    Christina looked at her speechlessly and gave the menu to her. "Order whatever you want... And order


    a takeaway for Crystal."


    "She is pregnant. I don''t know what she can''t eat."


    Christina thought for a moment. "Forget it. I bought her a lot of pregnant women''s nutrition. She


    shouldn''t be able to eat them all at once... I''ll ask Nanny Faang to make more nutritious meals


    tomorrow."


    Christina was impatient and impulsive, but her grandfather had taught her to protect those in need


    since she was a child.


    Patrick''s biggest disadvantage was that he was too strong, so Christina rarely cared about him. On the


    contrary, at this moment, Crystal might be at home alone.


    Charlesined, "Crystal is not as miserable as you think, okay?"


    Christina snorted. "Pregnant women are especially prone to think nonsense, don''t you know?"


    Not knowing if it was because of hormones, pregnant women are really prone to think too much.


    Crystal sat alone in the living room. The bowl of cubilose porridge on the table got cold. After eating


    half a bowl, she had no appetite to eat the rest.


    She still lived in Christina''s vi, which was elegantly decorated. All the furniture was imported and


    made of the best materials. It was more than 200 square meters. To Christina, it was a small house, but


    it was too luxurious for ordinary people like her.


    Most importantly, this was not her home.


    She knew that Christina would not mind how long she lived, but she would always feel that she didn''t


    belong here.


    And she didn''t belong to the Stephenson family either.


    Crystal subconsciously caressed her abdomen with her right hand. She lowered her head and looked


    mncholy.


    "... Business again," she muttered.


    She remembered that a few hours ago, she happily texted Christina that Chandler woulde to pick


    her up. At that time, she was so happy and easily satisfied as an innocent child.


    But he missed their appointment again.


    Would she be sad after being stood up again and again? Of course, she would. But she usually didn''t


    allow herself to show it.


    "... Crystal, I forgot that a very important client flew over tonight. I need to pick him up personally. If you


    want to go out for dinner with them, ask Christina to pick you up."


    She didn''t want to go out for dinner at all. She just wanted to go out with him.


    "Okay."


    She agreed. But after hanging up the phone, she became confused.


    "... Why are you always able to show up when there''s something happened to the Stephenson family,


    and I''m always the least important one?"


    As Christina asked, for so many times she stood there and waited for Chandler to find her, would she


    lose patience one day?


    She didn''t know either.


    "... Stop thinking nonsense. Chandler is doing it for our family." She touched her abdomen to feel her


    baby. And her heart was filled with anticipation. "When my baby is born, then I don''t have to think too


    much."


    Babies'' fetal heart could be felt after 6 weeks. And her baby was already 12 weeks old.


    Suddenly, Crystal''s face turned pale. And her right hand started to tremble...


    Her heart was beating wildly. She quickly pressed against her abdomen with her left hand. Why, why


    was there no heartbeat?
