Chapter 35
It was Lantern Festival today.
After breakfast with grandpa Christina returned to the villa and sat on the sofa of the living room, looking a little depressed.
“So today is Patrick's birthday...”
Yesterday, they went to the parent child prospective parents’ classroom to attend a class. At that time, she noticed
that Patrick had some complicated
feelings about Lantern Festival and he
didn't want to mention it.
“He didn’t want me to know his
birthday.” Was he afraid that I would
bother him?
Ever since she met Cecilia yesterday, she had been depressed.
Cecilia deliberately mentioned the tie he left overnight to provoke her.
But Christina Knew she wasn't qualified to compete with Cecilia.
“Christina.” Suddenly a bantering voice came from outside the door.
She looked up at the door and was surprised. “Charles, what are you doing here? Patrick isn't home. He's probably back in the company.”
"On this special day, Patrick can't go back to the company.” Charles said
with certainty.
Halfway through, he stared at the
living room table with wide by Christina, this is the birthday cake you bought, right?” He sounded frightened,
Christina looked down at the birthday cake on the table and sighed,
Charles frowned and sat down across from her, he asked seriously. “Christina, do you know today is Patrick's birthday?”
"Yes"She replied sullenly.
In fact, she only overheard the housekeeper talking about Patrick's birthday this morning, so she picked up her phone and ordered a cake. But when she came back with a cake in her hand, the housekeeper and the Hopkins Family maids both looked
terrible
"Hey, Charles, do you know why.” She asked curiously pointing at the birthday cake on the table. "Hopkins Family never celebrates Lantern Festival.” Charles said in a deep voice, raising his eyebrows and looking at her
Christina looked a little surprised.
"Patrick doesn't like people celebrating
his birthday. You'd better not let him
sce this birthday cake. I advise you to
throw it away.”
Charles remembered that six years
ago, their friends celebrated Patrick's
birthday for him and... It was a disaster.
“see
Christina answered in a low voice, and she didn't ask much, because Patrick didn't want her to know too much.
With her head down, she carried a One-pound delicious tiramisu cake and walked to the bedroom on the second floor. She decided to go back to her room to eat it!
“Christina, do you know why Patrick hates women so much?”
Charles looked at her fragile back and suddenly shouted, “He doesn't hate your cake, he hates.” “Who does he hate?
Christina turned around abruptly and
looked at Charles.
Charles looked embarrassed and didn't
dare to say the rest.
“Every year on his birthday. Patrick
doesn't go back to the company. He
might be at a club or a bar. Christina, do
you want to go and find him?” In the
end, he was only half-joking to tease
her.
"Okay." Christina agreed.
Seeing that Christina actually agreed, he asked casually, “Christina, are you very concerned about Patrick?” He got close to her and gossipped
Christina looked a little embarrassed and immediately denied it. “No! I'll go
upstairs and change my coat.. She quickly slipped upstairs.
When Charles Saw her coming downstairs, Christina was wearing a light pink Korean coat, white tights. Her long hair was tied up in a ball. She wore light makeup and she looked young and beautiful with delicate features. However, she was still wearing a scarf around her neck... “Christina, you don't have to dress like
a mummy
The two walked out the door side by
side. Seeing that she dressed so much.
Charles complained.
“I'm going to dress tight. I'll get scolded if I catch a cold.”
Christina took out her cell phone from her pocket and dialed a familiar
number.
Charles looked at the number she pressed and teased, “you're going to apply to Patrick when you go out?”
"Yes, he said I had to call him before going out” Christina nodded solemnly.
Charles was surprised as Patrick had always been indifferent to anything...
No one answered Christina's call.
Suddenly, she became vigilant and looked at Charles. “If he scolds me, I'll
say you're the one who's taking me
“Christina, don't be unreasonable.”
Charles shoved her into the car with a
darkened face and regretted bringing her out. The car drove smoothly and stopped at the Fire Club in the busiest ninth lane east of A City about 30 minutes later.
Charles led her through the VIP passageway. It was the first time that Christina entered a high-class bar. Looking at the luxurious decoration,
she felt that she was a rustic villager.
“It's very lively here.”
In the middle of the open lobby on the
second floor, there was a huge triangular bath with a light blue mist.
Those long-legged beauties were
sitting by the pool, and there was a
faint sound of men and women laughing in the mist... Wow, Christina looked around curiously. “It's even more lively in the early morning.” said Charles, a frequent guest of honor here. He smiled at her meaningfully. “Christina, the bar is your husband's.”
Patrick was the boss here!
Christina's eyes widened slightly. No wonder he was so rich!
Charles teased her when he saw how Surprised she was. “All the women here want to climb into your husband's bed. Christina, be smart. Don’t be angry with him all the time. Women should learn to be obedient and occasionally act coquettishly to be liked...”
“I can't.” Christina ignored him with a stiffened face.
Charles knew what she was like and threatened her. “You're done, Christina. After you give birth to a child, you'll be kicked out of Hopkins Family
“I don't need him to rush me. I'll get out myself” She said seriously.
Charles noticed that she was clearly a little angry. Did she care about Patrick?
Just as he was about to coax her into talking about Patrick, the door of the VIP elevator stopped on the 12th floor Two guests came in and a man immediately smiled pleasantly at Charles. “Mr.Shepherd, it's been a long
time.”
“Mr. Shepherd, is this your new girlfriend? She's so pretty... She looks
familiar.” Another man looked straight at Christina
“This is my sister-in-law.” Charles didn’t grin but said with a cold face.
Charles's sister-in-law?
There were not many people who could make Charles call her sister-in law, and none of his childhood friends could be offended, especially the one in Hopkins Family
"We drank too much. We're terribly sorry.” The people in the business circle were very slick and sly. They immediately apologized respectfully.
One of them seemed to have something important to say to Charles, Christina heard them talk about shares
and investments. When the elevator reached the 22nd floor. Charles walked out of the elevator with a serious face.
“Christina go to the top floor with the waiters. I have something to talk to them about. I'll be up soon” Charles called a waitress to take her up to the topfloor.
Christina nodded at him, not bothering him when she saw that he was busy.
“Don’t run around!” Before the elevator door was closed, Charles said.
Fire Club was actually the biggest nightdub in the city. This is the paradise for the richand celebrities,
Fire Club was noisy and messy, but the
status on the top floor was completely different. It was comfortable and quiet, and no everyone could get in.
Christina was very calm, standing in the elevator and watching the number of floors up. Suddenly, just as the elevator on the 35th floor opened, she
rushed out.
“Miss Dickens.” The waitress behind her called out to her in embarrassment
“T'll go upstairs myself in a while. Don't
worry about me.” Christina was in a
hurry seeming to be attracted by something Soon she disappeared at the end of the turn.
That woman just now..
Christina leaned over and stood in front of the luxurious private room. She quietly turned the door with her right hand and looked in stealthily..
She seemed to have just scen Cecilia...
It was her!
They seemed to be having a party Besides Cecilia, there were a few other popular movie stars present. They drank together happily.
Today, we invited Cecilia over to have fun. How can we ignore the main character...”
“Cheers, Cecilia. After you spoke to Director Lee last week, he immediately removed Julia. Every time I think of her angry face. I can't help laughing.”
hristina Saw Cecilia sitting in the middle of the sofa with her les Crossed. She held a cigarette in her right hand, looking cold and arrogant. The rest of the people kept flattering
her
Cecilia looked arrogant “It's nothing” She said coldly, then puffed out a cigarette
“I can't believe that Patrick actually likes this kind of woman.” Christina Shrank back and muttered to herself.
How
many
women
in
the
entertainment circle were innocent?
They just pretended to be innocent.
Christina knew that her stepmother,
Connie, was also good at playing the
role of victims in front of her father.
Why was leavesdropping here?
Christina's expression was a little awkward. She admitted that she was a
little jealous.
Patrick was always cold to her. Christina was curious why Miss Jones was so charming
When she went back to the top floor. she looked sullen and was about to close the door and leave when she suddenly heard some voices coming from inside
Christina glanced at them out of curiosity and was started. The two men and women inside were so bold,
“They're taking drugs here.”
Who's outside!”
At this moment, someone inside shouted at the door.
The sound alerted the people in the private room. They were all public figures, and these things must not be spread
Christina was stunned. She watched
the two strong men inside run over
angrily. Their faces were ferocious and they didn't even wear anything above the waist.
Bang
They flung the door open.
