Spoil My Errant Wife

Chapter 219 

"Christina, auntie is not making things difficult for you.I want you to face the reality clearly.You and I both know how harsh life could be.People will look down on you if you don't have money, but are you sure you are happy once you live a luxurious life?"

"The gap of social status between you and Patrick is enormous.No matter how well he treats you now, I know that you must be very humble in your heart even if you don't tell me.You have to be alarmed when there is a trivial disturbance in a rich family.You can't put all your hopes on a man.He will eventually change.Who can guarantee that he will still treat you like this in the future? Once he changes, Christina, you can only beg him.Auntie knows that this kind of love is not what you want."

The fish soup in the kitchen was boiling and gurgling.

Christina was also astonished at this moment.

In fact, Betty really knew her.Christina had never expected to climb up to a family like the Hopkins family.

At first, she knew very well that those were not what she wanted, but later...

She put down her chopsticks and her eyes darkened as she couldn't clarify what happened later.

Betty glanced at the boiling fish soup in the kitchen, straightened her body, and suddenly reached out her right hand to hold Christina's hand.

Her aunt's hand was very soft and gentle, holding Christina's hand in the palm.

A happy feeling of being loved by the elder gushed out in Christina's heart.

"Christina, think it through yourself.I won't force you, but the Hopkins family is an abyss.Don't fall into it.That place really doesn't suit you."

Her aunt was as quiet and gentle as ever, and a piece of sincere advice fell into Christina's heart.

After taking out the fish soup, the two filled half a bowl of rice and began to eat dinner.

Betty did not mention the Hopkins family anymore.

Instead, she talked about the days she spent in the sanatorium and said that she had recovered so that there was no need for Christina to worry about her health.

A simple dinner made her feel at home. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

After dinner, Christina wanted to help wash the dishes but was stopped by Betty.

"I've been sick for so many years, and now I'm finally getting better.I must do something more now.We ald people like to prove that we're still useful by doing more things.I enjoy it very much."

"Auntie, you're only in your early 40s.You are not old people at all.The men in pursuit of you still make a long line."

The two of them teased each other and the atmosphere became much more light-hearted.

There were plenty of available fruits in autumn.

Christina cut some pieces of durians and washed some grapes so that they could eat them while watching TV in the living room.

She and Betty watched those soap operas about family ethics and spent time chatting and laughing.

It had been a long time since she experienced the precious life of an ordinary family last time.

Christina found that her aunt still took good care of her despite her dislike for the baby of the Hopkins family.

As soon as it turned 10 o'clock, her aunt asked her to go to bed.

It would be desirable if her aunt liked Patrick too.

Suddenly, such an idea flashed in her mind.

"Christina, when we leave here and start a new life, everything will be fine."

Betty helped her close the door of the guest room and said gently.

Christina didn't know how to respond for a moment until the door was closed.

She looked at the closed door, lost in her thoughts.

There was a small balcony to the east of the guest room.

She turned and walked towards it.

The autumn wind was cool, and the night sky was dark without any moonlight.

In the east, there was half a mountain faintly looming.

That was the Hopkins family.

She stared blankly in that direction for a long time.

There was a feeling constrained in her heart, which was unforgettable, and difficult to unravel.

She was concerned about what he was doing now...

"Mr.Hopkins."

In the Eastern Garden of the Hopkins family, the door of the main bedroom on the second floor was knocked on a few times.

Nanny Faang came in with a cup of ginseng soup.

Just as she opened the door, she stopped with astonishment.

"Mr.Hopkins."

She hesitated for a moment and called out again.

The man, who had been standing quietly in front of the French Windows, suddenly came back to his senses.He turned around and glanced at the empty big bed, only to find she was not there.There was a complicated feeling in his darkened eyes.
