Chapter 182


    "I don''t know...I''ve been feeling a chill in my spely..."


    "The people in the Hopkinses also arranged a psychiatrist for me.The psychiatrist said that pregnancy


    hormones could make people paranoid and sensitive..The day before yesterday, I was so annoyed that


    I started toin to Patrick, but he didn''t say anything tofort me, and he stillughed at me."


    Christina was very dissatisfied.She was resting at home for her pregnancy.


    After lunch, she stayed in her bedroom and called Crystal toin.


    "Crystal, how''s your work? Do you have time to visit Hopkins Family?"


    Christina was so idle that she suspected that she was really suffering from delusions, "If you''re not free,


    then I''lle to you."


    Crystal held her cell phone and rolled her eyes, "Please don''t go out.You are bearing twins, and if you


    get hurt by some bumping, I don''t know how to tell your husband."


    "Does that mean I can''t go out until delivering babies in October?"


    Christina suggested.


    Did all pregnant women have no human rights now? Crystal sympathized with her.


    "The main thing is that your husband is too scary”


    "By the way, where''s your Mr.Hopkins? He should be at home with you, right?"


    Crystal had heard from her former colleagues at the IP&G Group that Patrick had handed over the


    company''s main projects to the vice president.


    The secretary''s office on the top floor was full of exciting gossip, saying their president had "asked for


    maternity leave".


    "He did say before that he would spend less time working and try to be with me.."


    Christina muttered in a low voice.


    The people outside always said that Patrick was ruthless, but Patrick was really good to her.


    On second thought, she was a little resentful.


    "He''s not home right now.He''s busy.He flew to Americast night."


    And Christina knew that Barbara had gone with him.But she didn''t know what they were busy doing in


    the United States.


    "He seems to trust Barbara."


    "Are you still jealous of Barbara?"


    "Not really..."


    Christina said in a sullen voice, "It''s just that there''s another woman who cares about my husband, and


    I feel ufortable about this..."


    Crystal suddenly yelled, "Christina!"


    "Don''t think too much.You must get panicked for being idle.You said you fell into the pool and saw a


    dark shadow at the door.Anyway, just live your idle life.Don''t be so stupid as to fight with Patrick and let


    those mistresses outside take advantage of it.If you do not look for trouble, you will be ok!"


    Crystal had been busy looking for a job recently, and all kinds of unspoken rules in the workce made


    her tired and unable to resist.


    She had no choice but to endure it in order to live, so she really envied Christina.


    She said a lot of wise rules, but Christina on the other end of the phone suddenly became silent.


    Crystal was very depressed, "What are you thinking?"


    "Oh, nothing."


    Christina replied, beginning to reflect on her own role as a wife, who seemed to have not fully fulfilled


    her duty.


    "I was thinking that I have not given Patrick any official gifts..."


    "Do you want to buy a present for your wife?"


    On a shopping street full of luxury goods in Seattle, the saleswomen were all well-trained.


    They looked at the man wearing an expensive suit in front of them.


    He had a tinum ring on his left ring finger, which obviously showed that he was married.


    In this bustling city, there were many men from the upper ss who came here with beautiful girls in


    their arms.


    These men spoke sweet words and bought expensive gifts to please these women, who also were very


    clear that these men pretended to be single and had no interest in wearing wedding rings.


    This man in front of them was rare.


    "I''ve known you for so many years.How could I not know that you also fall for romance..."


    This was amercial street near the international airport.


    The flight was suddenly dyed because of the weather, so they had some more leisure time on their


    way back.


    Barbara thought he would be in the VIP waiting room as usual, and was surprised that he was


    interested in these women''s jewelry.


    "Sir, you can take a look at this ne with a pendant of Polynesian ck pearl.This ne just


    arrived this morning.It matches your wife''s temperament very well.It looks tender, generous, and


    noble."


    Patrick ignored the enthusiastic waiter and took a look at the ck pearl pendant on the white fluffy


    tray.


    The heart-shaped tinum outer ring was embedded with fine diamonds, and the ck pearl was


    iid in the center, which made it even more mysterious and noble.


    He nced around the ornaments on the ss counter.


    It seemed that he was not so interested in women''s decorations.


    ying around with his tinum wedding ring, he seemed to be thinking which one he should buy.


    "Patrick, what do you think of this ck pearl pendant?"


    Barbara asked him casually with a smile.


    Her smile grew brighter especially when she saw the waitress in front of her.


    The staff in the store naturally thought that she was his wife, but she wasn''t.


    But at this moment, she didn''t want to deny it.


    "Pearls don''t suit her" Patrick spoke very softly.


    Pointing to the furthest left side of the ss cab, he said, "Please bring me DJ856021"


    This was the unique code of their jewelry shop.


    The staff in the shop did not dare to neglect, so she pushed a special chair over and carefully took


    down the ruby ne from the cab.


    This ne was a little special.


    It was not the most expensive one in the shop.

    A French word "chance", which meant lucky, was written with tinum in the ne.


    The first letter of the word was capital, cleverly iid with a ruby.


    This was not the same as the top international brands in their store.


    There was no second simr ne like this one, which was the only one designed by a master


    jeweler on a whim.


    Most lovers like to buy some essories to express their love, while the word "chance" was somewhat


    different.


    "You want to buy this ne for Christina?"


    Barbara looked a littleplicated, and her low voice sounded t.


    Then she said firmly, "Buy thetest version over there."


    The ne was actually quite exquisite in workmanship and gemstone, but if it was something given


    by Patrick to a woman, he should choose some jewelry more expensive and dazzling.


    "She''s afraid of those weird things."


    Patrick directly asked the clerk to pack it up and said it surprisingly, which Barbara couldn''t understand.


    Barbara was so smart but she was stunned for a while.


    In fact, the thing that Christina was afraid of darkness and ghosts was really not asecret.


    Rubies seem to ward off evil spirits.


    "Mr.Hopkins, when did you be so superstitious?"


    Barbara smiled and teased him.She turned her head slightly and felt somehow bitter.


    People would really change.She never thought he would too.


    Patrick held the little delicate gift bag in his hand and said calmly.


    "I’m not"


    He never believed in these things that had no evidence to back off, nor did he believe in coincidences.


    He only believed in deliberate nning and calcting.


    But if...If one day he made a mistake and he was unable to protect her.


    When a person was in endless despair, he would rather believe in ghosts and pray for having the


    luxury for somest hope.


    And he wanted her to have enough luck when she was helpless and she would be safe.
