Chapter 749


    “Christina, your uncle Larry will sleep in the guest room. He’s been a great help over the past six


    months. He did morning exercise with your grandmother, yed chess, and went fishing with your


    father, and sometimes he brought the twins over to stay for a few days. You owe him a big one.”


    Larry smiled from ear to ear to hear this. He pretended to be ttered and said, “It’s no big deal.”


    “I live alone and eat takeout every day. It’s not healthy. It’s my honor to enjoy a happy, healthy life with


    you.”


    Betty smiled. “The olddy has said that you are a family now. Make yourself at home. There are no


    children at home. We are d to have yourpany.”


    “I will. We can take care of each other.” Larry smiled.


    Christina was listening to them quietly, wondering whether Uncle Larry would live here for the rest of

    his life.


    “Christina, I’ll cook some noodles for you. Go to bed earlyter. It’s not good to eat too much at night,


    so have some noodles. I’ll cook something delicious for you tomorrow.”


    “Okay,” Christina replied. Her aunt cooked noodles well.


    “You’ll sleep with me tonight. Your uncle will live in the guest room. Let Lucy sleep in your room. You


    can tell me about your mother.”


    Hearing this, Larry, who was quite short, suddenly radiated a strong aura. He red at Christina and


    mouthed behind Betty, “Don’t do it!”


    Christina didn’t reply to him. She said to Betty, “I’ll share the bed with Lucy tonight. She has something


    about work to talk to me about.”


    Betty agreed because she didn’t want to get in their way.


    “Christina, although your mother is a scumbag, your aunt is a great woman.” Lucy gulped down her


    beef ramen.


    “Of course she is!” Christina looked proud and gobbled down her ramen.


    “Actually, my aunt used to be a gentledy and didn’t do chores. A few years ago, when she ran away


    with me, she had no choice but to cook and be better at cookingter.”


    Christina’s point was that Betty was good at cooking now because of her love for Christina. Larry was


    right about one thing, which was that Christina needed to treat her aunt well.


    “Lucy, where’s your family?” Lucy had never mentioned her family to Christina,


    Lucy’s cold expression showed obviously that she didn’t want to talk about this. “I don’t know.”


    Christina was surprised. She was considerate and didn’t ask Lucy.


    Tonight, Lucy and Christina shared the 5-inch-wide bed In Christina’s bedroom before she got married.


    Lucy looked at the photos with interest, one of which had Christina and Derek in it, and it was taken


    when they were young. Christina was pretty when she was young, and she had clear and shiny eyes.


    Derek beside her was handsome, but he looked dull.


    Betty changed their sheets and quilts. They were undoubtedly pink and edged withce.


    Lucy didn’t think Christina would like pink andce and doubted that the Dickens family pitied for this.


    However, Christina didn’t think it was a big deal.


    Lucy, on the contrary, felt ufortable to be surrounded by pink andce.


    “It doesn’t matter. You won’t see anything when I turn off the light,” said Christina.


    Then she turned off the bedsidemp and the room became dark. They could only see a faint light


    shining in from the streetmps through the small balcony.


    “Every parent looks forward to the sess of their children. I am the only child, so they want to give me


    the best possible care.”


    This was the same for every parent. They enrolled their children in after-ss courses. Christina didn’t


    mind this as long as they didn’t force her to learn piano.


    Lucy stretchedfortably. Compared to the big bed in the Hopkins family’s residence, she felt more


    at ease in Christina’s bedroom.


    With her eyes closed, Lucy breathed in the air of the room. This room smelled like the home in her


    mind, and such a warm feeling was strange to her.


    Although this was not the most luxurious room, she feltfortable and found it easier to fall asleep


    lying on the bed after a tiring day of work. In this room, she could bepletely rxed and let her


    guard down.


    Just as Lucy was about to fall asleep, Christina’s phone rang, and Lucy was woken up.


    “Christina, answer the phone now, or throw it out the window.”


    Lucy was hot-tempered and hated people bothering her when she was sleeping.


    Christina was kicked on the butt by Lucy and immediately got up and turned on the bedsidemp


    before she went to look for her phone and answer it.


    “Hello?” She answered it without looking at the screen and was rubbing her butt.


    “Come back tomorrow,” Someone ordered.


    Christina suddenly straightened up. That was Patrick.


    “I seldom back home. Can I go back the day after tomorrow?” She asked attentively.


    “Do you really think it’s necessary to discuss this with me?” Patrick’s voice dripped sarcasm. “You didn’t


    tell me when you suddenly went back to the Dickens family today.”


    “You’ve been at the Dickens family for two hours. Are you about to go to sleep? You didn’t remember to


    call me before you went to bed, did you?” His tone became angry.


    Only then did Christina realize her mistake.


    She forgot to call Patrick.


    After being taught a lesson by Larry, shepletely forgot about this.


    She pretended that nothing had happened and said calmly, “I was about to call you when you called…”


    Before Patrick could reply, someone knocked hastily on the door.


    Then Betty shouted anxiously, “Christina, didn’t you tell Patrick that you woulde home today?


    Don’t sleep. Get up and call him.”


    Christina froze and felt a chill through her phone.


    “I’ll go back tomorrow!” She promised immediately.


    Patrick knew very well that she had forgotten about calling him. Although he was angry, he said,


    “Follow Lucy closely. You know trouble alwayses to you. If anything happens, I’ll visit your family


    myself.”


    Then he hung up angrily.


    Christina felt relieved. She even smiled at Lucy and said, “It means that we can stay in C City and have


    fun for a few more days.”


    Lucy, who was lying on the bed, said sarcastically, “Didn’t you sense that he was angry?”


    Christina waved her hand and was very calm. Shey back on the bed and turned off the light. “That


    doesn’t matter. He hung up on me, which means he’s calmed down.”


    Lucy didn’t know how to describe her feelings now.


    “Lucy, do you want to talk to me about something before falling asleep?” Christina asked her kindly.


    Women had endless things to talk about when they slept on the same bed. When Christina was with


    Crystal, they would talk a lot.


    “I’ve got nothing on my mind.”


    Lucy turned her head and went to sleep. She didn’t want to talk to Christina as Christina could easily


    provoke her.
