Chapter 411

"What's wrong? Who made Dad angry?"

Christina who was hungry woke up in the middle of the night after her high fever subsided.She got up
and went to the kitchen to look for food.She was surprised that no one in the family was asleep.

It seemed that something was wrong.

The most important thing was that when Christina was eating stir-fried rice noodles with beef, Donald
suddenly glared at her.

She thought that her father didn't want her to eat the rice noodles which were too hot, so she started to
eat pork buns.

However, her father still stared at her angrily, as if she had done something outrageous.

According to her previous experience, Christina leaned closer to Betty.

"Did my father annoy me when I wanted to sleep just now? He was scolded away by me?" Christina
rarely got sick.

Once she was not feeling well, her family would be very nervous.

Although Donald was usually fierce, he would care about her when she was sick.

However, Christina, ungrateful, thought he was annoying, so every time she recovered from her illness,
Donald would make a stink face.Betty warmed up a bowl of scallop porridge for Christina.

"Eat more"she said with a helpless smile on her face, shaking her head.

She did not explain why Donald was so angry tonight.



"Betty, why did you order so much takeout..."

Christina, a little confused, had a good appetite, seeing that there was sugar water and ice cream in the
fridge.

Donald felt even unhappier when he saw how happy Christina was.He didn't want to see his daughter
anymore, giving a loud snort and going back to his room to rest.

"Christina, don’t eat too much.I'm going to bed."

Mrs.Dickens glanced at the clock.

It was past one in the morning.

"Okay” Christina nodded, noticing that her grandmother's expression was a little strange.

Christina was in good health.

Although she had a high fever, she did not need to take any medicine.

After sleeping for half a day, she regained her vitality.

After Christina finished eating, Betty cleaned up and asked her where she was going to sleep the rest
of the night.

Christina didn't understand for a moment.

"If I occupy the bed in my room, where will Patrick sleep?"

She had to sleep with her aunt.

Betty's expression was a little confused.



It was easier to understand if she made it clear.

Christina and Patrick were married, and they should sleep together.

"Betty, did my father quarrel with Patrick when I was asleep?"

Christina suddenly asked, looking at Patrick, who was sitting in the living room and quietly watching the
international channel.

Betty sighed.

Christina guessed half right, and it wasn't a fight.

Patrick made it clear that his private affairs were not to be questioned by the Dickens family, and that
no one was allowed to sow discord.He didn't agree to divorce.

"My father and grandmother looked at Patrick with a strange expression just now" Christina muttered to
herself.

After midnight, Christina consciously ran to Betty's room to sleep and let Patrick sleep in her bedroom.

The next morning, everyone was fine.

They got up at seven o'clock and then sat around the table for breakfast.

It seemed that after a night, everyone became polite to each other again, but Christina felt it was very
strange.

Christina felt that there was something wrong with Patrick.

"Grandma, Dad, Betty, we have to go back first.There are some urgent issues to be handled at the
company.We'll come to see you next week."



After lunch, Patrick suddenly spoke to Christina's family like this.

Christina stared at him in shock.

Patrick maintained his usual indifferent expression.He called Christina's family so straightforwardly and
didn't feel embarrassed at all.

Mrs.Dickens and Betty, who were sitting at the same table, were also shocked.

Even Donald, a sophisticated man, who had been making a living in the business world for so many
years, was surprised when Patrick suddenly called him Dad.

Although it was normal for a son-in-law to call his father-in-law "Father," it was very strange for Patrick
to call him Dad.

Christina thought that her father would definitely scold Patrick, but the whole family fell silent.

After lunch, Betty packed Christina's things and actually asked her to leave with Patrick.

"Ah? Am I really leaving?"

Christina thought the whole family wouldn't agree.

Why could Patrick take her away with him after he said that? Besides, her family had a grudge against
Patrick, so it was impossible for her family to let her go so easily.

"You've spent so much time in Switzerland before.Patrick must have to deal with something urgent in
his company.We won't blame you.You can go back to A City..."

Betty prepared several bags of C City's famous specialties for Christina.

"Senior Mr.Hopkins should like this tea.Take it back..."



"Auntie Betty, do you really agree to let me go with him?"

Christina was a little incredulous.

"Or what do you think will happen..."

Betty couldn't help laughing.

"Do you think your father will strongly discourage you from being together, angrily ask Patrick to leave,
and then ask you to get a divorce? We might really have such extreme thoughts in the past, but
now...No matter what, you two have two children.Can you bear to leave your twin sons?"

Christina was silent for a moment at the mention of her twin sons.

"You're already married.You should leave with Patrick and not stay at home."

With a smile, Betty looked at Christina gently, took a comb in front of the dresser, and gently combed
Christina's long hair.

"Christina, you should study hard how to be a qualified wife and a qualified mother"

"I see" Christina nodded.

Betty originally wanted to tell Christina that she should pay attention to the rules in the Hopkins family
and come back to tell her family when she was wronged.

But looking at Christina's calm expression, Betty didn't feel the need to say that.

Christina should not be wronged in the Hopkins family.

"Then we'll go back to A City first.We'll come back to see you when we have time."



Christina was sent away by the Dickens family.

"Grandma, Dad, Auntie Betty, we're leaving." Patrick said goodbye to Christina's family in his deep
voice, carrying some of the gifts that Betty had prepared for them.

Christina and he got into the taxi and waved at the Dickens family.

"My family was scared by you."

After a long drive, Christina couldn't help but say, "Why did you call them for no reason? My father and
grandmother must have been scared, so they quickly let me go with you."

"Oh" Patrick didn't care at all.

He looked at her sideways and added, "That's good."

After Patrick considered them to be his family, Donald could only let Christina go with him.

Patrick leaned back against the back seat of the car and closed his eyes.

His cold face relaxed as if he had just completed an important negotiation.

Christina felt that something had been hidden and asked him warily, "Patrick, to be honest, did you say
anything to my dad and the others when I fell asleep with a fever last night..."

Patrick reacted quickly, opening his eyes.

"Christina, speaking of your fever last night..."

His tone was a little angry.It was good not to mention it.

He was sulking at the mention of it.



When Christina was sick, she didn't cry or make a fuss.

Besides, she didn't act coquettishly or talk to anyone.

Patrick had no special preference in his life.

He could get whatever he wanted, but suddenly, he felt a little disappointed.

He had been looking forward to the day when Christina would become very obedient and dependent on
him...

But It seemed that it would never come true in this life.

"What?" Christina asked him seriously.

Patrick's expression was unfathomable and he said in a strange tone, "Christina, you were quite calm
when you were sick"

Christina didn’t cry out for pain or make a scene, let alone act coquettishly and beg him.

Thinking about it, Christina told him proudly, "I only want to sleep when I'm drunk.I'm not as noisy as
other women.I'm very quiet.Just don't disturb me when I'm drunk"

She felt that as a wife, these were all her strengths.

The car drove all the way to the international airport, and at this time, Patrick's unhappy face was
reflected in the window.

He didn't like her good qualities.
