My billionaire husband spoils me too much

Chapter 23

The rain had stopped.

Christina ate the steamed bums that Mrs. Morris and Mr. Morris had prepared for her. After thanking the enthusiastic couple, they wanted to rush back.

Because today is the New Year's eve, everyone wants to go home and

reunite

Christina took a peek at Patrick. They had planned to go back to A City the day before yesterday to spend the New Year with Mr. Hopkins. They didn't expect this to happen. It seemed that they had to hurry back. The Old Man had a bad temper.

But just as Christina was about to kave with them, Mr. Morris stopped her and said, “I think you had better stay here with us.”

**The torrential rain last night caused a mudslide that buried many farmlands and houses nearby. The surrounding residences were destroyed, making it harder to get through the mountain Charles said with a rare seriousness, “Christina should stay. Now the hillsides will collapse at any time. The

flood hasn't completely subsided. We'll

send someone to pick her up when we get back. After all, Christina was

pregnant, she couldn't exertherself too

much since she was still weak.

The few of them looked at each other

for a moment in sikence, and then they all looked at Patrick

Patrick took a look at Christina and suddenly strode to her. Without saying anything he held her hand and led her straight out the door.

“She's with me.” Patrick only left a faint sentence.

Charles and the others looked at each other from Patrick's cold profile, knowing that his decision would not change

“Then we are leaving now. Thank you so much for taking us in last night.”

Charles and the others finally exchanged a few words with Mr. and

Anna and followed them

“Patrick I think it would be better for Christina to stay for another night”

Charles and the others plodded upward, winding their way back and forth across the face of mountain with great difficulty. They also had to pay careful attention to the surrounding mountains.

Patrick tightened his grip on her wrist as if he didn't care about Charles's

words. He looked around vigilantly and

led her forward step by step.

"She's with me” He repeated again.

Patrick's deep eyes fell on the woman's face beside him. Only by keeping her

by his side would he be relieved.

Christina didn't know what he was thinking. He held her too tight as her wrist hurt. She looked up at him and Said, “I. I can actually.”

"Christina, don’t even think about it!” Patrick said in a calm volce and immediately refuted. Christina was depressed. Why was he so cold? She didn't even finish her

words.

After walking for about half an hour, a shallow river three meters wide

appeared in front of them

Originally.

this river did not exist. It should form

from the large influx of the heavy rain

last night when the rainfall blew the mud from the hillsides,

“It was not too deep, about 30

centimeters. You can come over...” Someone had already stepped across the water

Christina watched them cross the shallow river in an orderly fashion, ready to follow.

However, she was suddenly carried by Patrick who turned around. Surprised at his movement, she screamed in shock, “Ah, what are you doing?”

Patrick saw that she was not at all at

ease as she kept struggling, and he angrily reminded her, “Do you forget the injury on your foot?” She stopped struggling, blushed his stare. She almost forgot that her hand and foot were injured, and she might

have inflammation at the touch of

water

Patrick was 1.85 meters tall, had been practicing Muay Thai since he was young. He was very so strong that it was easy to carry her across this shallow river.

But Christina noticed, however, that Patrick took a firm grip on her legs, and he walked every step steadily even as if he was treading on eggshells.

This man seemed to take everything seriously. She looked at him with her eyes sideways. To be honest, he looked very handsome when he was focused.

“What are you looking at?”

Patrick lowered his eyes and noticed

that she was a little absent-minded, so

he asked casually

While Christina immediately turned her head away as if she had done something wrong. She replied, “Nothing”

However, as soon as she turned her head, her eyes widened as if she were extremely nervous, and her hand directly inched toward his crotch...

“Christina, what are you doing.”

The next second, Patrick's cold face

froze, and he even stopped his way forward. He couldn't believe that the

woman in his arms could not wait to

untie his belt.

When Charles and the others heard

Patrick's surprised inhalation, they

and

were

all

turned around dumbfounded.

“Christina, don't be so insatiable.”

Charles moaned at her angrily. In public, she untied the man’s belt, and the witch became rasher. Patrick seemed to be startled by her sudden initiative and did not stop her.

Clap!

Christina ignored their strange expressions and pulled out the belt around Patrick's waist. Without a word, she quickly whipped down a fruit tree on the right

When Patrick and the others saw clearly, they noticed that there were

many green bamboo venomous Snakes on the trees in the orchard they were shuttling through Just a meter or so, Christina hit its tender spot and it remained

motionless

“Put me down!”

They had already crossed the shallow river. Christina broke free from his arms and ran all the way to the snake. She picked up a big rock and threw it directly at the snake.

Seeing that the snake was completely

dead, she put her arms around her

waist and said proudly. You don’t even have a chance!

At this moment, the men behind

Christina were all dumblounded, and even Patrick's eyebrows raised slightly in surprise

Most women are afraid of snakes, especially poisonous ones, but she just...

Charles was the first to laugh out loud. “Christina, you can't wait to untie Patrick's belt and protect him bravely. You deserve to be a heroine.”

You didn't see the snake coming at us, who was about to attack us.”

Seeing that they were all laughing at her, Christina became a little angry and shouted at them angrily. “Charles, if you dare to say another word, I'll hit

“Come on, we were worried about her just now. She’ stronger than US. Hahaha... Patrick, it's said that a man should marry a compliant and gentle wife. Women that are cute and coquette are most lovable Christina, don’t be too violent. Be careful that Patrick might be squeamish”

Christina looked embarrassed as they

teased her

She was just used to protecting herself. It was useless to pretend to be weak She was always alone. She could rely on nobody, so she had to be strong,

Patrick's rubbed her head with his hand when she came back to her

senses.

Christina raised her head and looked

into his joyful eyes. For the first time, she saw that he was actually smiling

“Christina, I need you to protect me from now on.” Patrick seemed to be in a good mood and actually made fun of

her.

Christina's face turned red as he held her hand and continued walking,

Although the village was desolate and in disarray due to the heavy rain, the few of them were talking and laughing and the atmosphere was very cheerful.

“Patrick, can I ask you something?” Seeing that he was in a good mood. Christina dared to approach him.

“Can I name our baby in the future?” She tugged his arm and looked at him

nervously.

Patrick on the other hand, was a little distracted when he heard the words “our baby.” He looked down at her bright eyes as she was really looking forward, which made him want to laugh.

His eyes were alight with joy and

answered her. Yes.”

When Christina heard his promise, she became more and more excited and grabbed his arm tightly. “Then if the baby were a little boy. I think...”

“Our cell phone finally can through!”

get

The person in front of her suddenly shouted and interrupted her. Everyone

was very excited, because they didn't need to wind around the mountain if they can make a call to ask for help.

“Chandler?” Charles answered his phone very quickly. “Chandler, let me tell you, Patrick and us are now.”

Charles was about to give him their location, but Chandler seemed to have known about their being trapped in a

deserted village and said eagerly. “I know. I'm rushing over to pick you up...”

“Charles, give Patrick your phone. I have something urgent to tell him.” Chandler sounded very strange.

“What is it?"

harles was delighted to hear that Chandler had sent someone to rescue

them. He turned to look at Patrick and Christina

Giggling, he guessed, “Have you found out who kidnapped Christina from the hospital? I assume his days are numbered. Patrick will never let them

“It's not that. There's another thing... Charles, it's very important. Give the phone to Patrick immediately!” Chandler urged and he seemed really

anxious.

Charles could not help but frown at his

tone. What could be more important than Christina's?

But Charles didn't dare to delay, so he

ran back and stuffed his phone into Patrick's hand.

“It's Chandler, he said he has something important to tell you.”

Patrick and the others knew that Chandler had sent someone to pick them up and stopped to rest. Taking Charles's phone, Patrick's expression was cold. “What's the matter?”

He didn’t care much about the so

called important things.

When Chandler heard Patrick's voice.

he was really anxious.

He replied in a hurry, “Patrick, I was so

Stunned when I saw her. I don't know

much about. She went there herself. I

can't persuade her...

Chandler seemed to have been shaken up, and even his words sounded a little

Patrick was trying to calm him down

and make himself clear, but just then, a

helicopter hovered above them. and

the raspy sound made it even harder for him to hear Chandler.

The helicopter soon landed safely not far from them

Patrick and the others knew that it should be sent by Chandler to pick them up, but the next second, they were all very surprised. As soon as the

helicopter landed, a woman inside

hurriedly got off and ran over here anxiously.

When Patrick saw the familiar face, he was not only surprised, but his eyes strained to her, and he even doubted whether he was hallucinating

*Patrick!”

The clear and sweet voice shouted excitedly.

The slender woman threw herself to Patrick's arms and hugged him tightly. “Do you know how worried I am about you? Chandler told me to wait for you at the hospital, but I can't stay any longer. .” She choked with sob, being

so excited, her tears oozing from the

corners of her eyes.

She nestled her face against his chest, unable to suppress her emotions, she repeated his name, “Patrick, Patrick!

miss you very much. I miss you so

much...”

Patrick's cold face froze, only feeling her tears to drip his chest, permeating his clothes..

His hands trembled slightly as he raised his fingers caressing her familiar and beautiful face. His hoarse voice was filled with disbelief. “How could you...

“Cecilia”

Charles screamed out like he saw a ghost, “You, aren't you dead?!” How come she was back from the dead!

Christina was standing next to Patrick.

She could see her very clearly. This

woman...

She was Patrick's “dead” ex-girlfriend.

Christina was shocked with mixed feelings, and she felt somehow uncomfortable. She had held Patrick's hand tightly and but she unconsciously released it...
