Chapter 139
Christina made a glass of kiwi juice and went back to the living room.She found that Patrick and the others were not there.
Charles was the only one sitting there.
"What happened?"
Christina put the juice on the table and looked at him for a while.She felt that he suddenly became serious.
Charles just looked up and ignored her words.
"Hey, what's wrong with you?"
Christina thought he was very strange but he acted normally just now.She sat right beside him and asked, "What did Patrick say to you just now?"
"Don't get so close to me."
Charles showed a little complicated expression.
Instinctively, he moved an arm away from her.
"Why you act that way!"
Christina yelled at him angrily, stretching out her right foot and kicking his new leather shoes a few times.
"You said some harsh words about my rice dumpling just now, and there's no need to pretend to be so sad now.."
"My foot hurts.."
Charles's handsome face was tightly wrinkled.He immediately retracted his foot and shouted at her angrily.
"I'm not familiar with you.Get away from me.Don't get so close to me"
Christina raised her eyebrows and stopped, but she stared at him.
"Charles, are you going insane?"
He pretended to avoid her all of a sudden.He could never act like that before.
Charles glared at her with a dark face and gritted his teeth.
"Christina, I hope you understand that I have no interest in a woman as violent as you.Don't love me..."
"Who wants to love a playboy like you?" Christina thought it was hilarious.
Charles continued to glare at her.
"Patrick..."
"What did Patrick say to you just now? He was so serious" She was curious.
Charles gritted his teeth angrily, pursed his lips and kept silent.
Patrick just asked him why Christina behaved so naturally when they two were together...
Charles thought to himself that it was probably because Christina argued with Patrick a while ago.
"Why did he marry you? You are a troublemaker" Charles's resentment was so deep that he gritted his teeth and muttered, "If he married Barbara, everyone would be happy..."
"What did you say? You just mentioned Barbara!"
Christina's tone immediately cooled down.
With a stretch of her right hand, she grabbed his tie and gave it a strong tug.
Charles was almost smothered.
"You, you..."
Charles was so angry and he quickly tried to protect his neck.
Her face drew closer, and her expression was a little grim.
"Charles, what did you just say? Barbara? You'd better confess, or else, if there's no one around, don't blame me for being rude..."
"What's wrong with you and Barbara?"
Charles gave her a cold glance.
"There's a conflict between us" Christina admitted it directly.
Charles looked at the door with a complex expression.
Patrick was called to the lotus pond by his grandfather.
Barbara should be with them to discuss the affairs of the Fishers...
He turned his head and looked at the woman with an angry face in front of him.
She seemed really mad.
Charles raised his eyebrows and teased, "Christina, are you jealous?"
She didn't look well.She glanced sideways and changed the subject.
"Just now, Barbara went into the kitchen to talk to me and mentioned that Chandler and Erica were going to divorce.."
"That's all?"
Charles saw that Patrick and the others were not back yet, so he asked her mysteriously, "Christina, Patrick must have told you not to worry about so many things.What does it have to do with you that they will divorce? Can you live without interfering in others' affairs..."
"Barbara is not a naive person."
Christina shouted.Her face was dark and she didn't want to say more.
"Barbara is not from a rich family like you.She acquires all of these by herself.Do you think it's easy for a girl to be the general manager of the IP&G Group of the Asian division..."
Charles picked up another piece of rice dumpling with chopsticks and threw it into his mouth.He chewed it and continued to say.
"Christina, you really have a mean heart.Don't be jealous.Barbara get what she deserves.She has no bad intentions." Christina said nothing more.
Her sudden silence made Charles feel a little guilty as he chewed the rice dumpling in his mouth.
Although it was very salty, he knew that she was very diligent preparing them in the kitchen.
"Patrick talked to me probably because he thought we were too close" Charles took a sip of half a glass of water from the table and glared at her angrily.
"Besides, no matter how good and likable Barbara is, Patrick won't like her..."
"Patrick will never seduce his friend's girlfriend."
"Which friend?"
When Christina returned to her senses and wanted to ask more, several servants from the Hopkinses ran past the living room anxiously in urgent footsteps.
They looked at each other with darkened faces and immediately realized something was wrong.
At the same time, they stood up from the sofa.
"What happened?"
"Get a doctor right away!"
As soon as Christina and Charles walked out of the door, they heard the Old Master shouting.
They saw the servants at the end of the corridor running frantically in the lotus pond, all panicked.
Christina's heart was racing.
It was the first time she saw the Old Master in such a panic.
"I'll go over and take a look..."
Charles said quickly and ran towards the pavilion.
Christina was five months pregnant and the twins in her belly were heavy so she didn't dare to run.
She looked straight ahead and hurried over with messy steps.All of a sudden, what happened?
"Patrick, how are you?"
"You're sweating all over, and your face is pale.Sit down and rest for a while.The doctor will be here soon'...
It was Barbara's voice.
She looked anxious and tried to persuade the man beside her.
Patrick faced the lotus pond, frowning.
He did not make a sound, while his hands clenched the carved wooden railing as if he was enduring some kind of pain.
"I told you to go to Seattle immediately.What are you doing here?!"
In the lotus pond, there were few people. This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
Also, there was Old Master Mr.Hopkins's roar.
He was very angry and hit the floor with his walking stick.
His irritating tone was full of helplessness.
Christina stood stiffly.
In front of her, Charles was asking Patrick, Old Master Mr.Hopkins was angry and helpless, and Barbara was persuading Patrick...
"Why are they so nervous?'’ She did not understand nor know.
She clearly remembered that Patrick had a high fever a few days ago.
At that time, she hurried to take him to the hospital, but his grandfather was quite calm and told Patrick to take care of himself.
But now...
"Patrick, what's wrong with you..."
She looked at the familiar figure in front of her, and then her vision gradually blurred.
She did not go any closer, just standing five meters away from them.
There seemed to be an unfamiliar aura with Patrick, making her afraid to take a step.
