Spoil My Errant Wife

Chapter 30: Marks on Her Neck 

The car was quiet and neither of them spoke.

Patrick looked at the humbleness in her eyes and wanted to say something that he had wanted to tell her a long time ago...

But then, Patrick's phone rang.

The phone kept ringing as if the person at the other end of the phone had something urgent.

The ringtone broke the rare silence in the car.

Christina looked at him suspiciously and saw that Patrick answered the phone impatiently.

After a while, he looked surprised for a second, as if something had happened to the person on the phone.

"Mr.Hopkins, I'm sorry to bother you, but something happened to Miss Jones.Today is the first day of her new TV series.She felt unwell, but she insisted on coming over.She fell into the lake when she was taking photos..."

The person on the other end of the phone was Cecilia's manager.

She spoke anxiously in a trembling voice.

Even Christina could hear some of her words.

‘Cecilia fell into the lake?’ Christina looked a little surprised.

"How is she?"

Patrick asked with an indifferent expression.

"The rescue was timely and she was out of danger, but she's still unconscious." Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

The manager answered quickly but hesitated.

"Mr.Hopkins, could you please come over..."

"Miss Jones was in a coma and kept calling your name.When she wakes up, she needs to be injected and take medicine.You know her very well, so you must know we won't be able to talk her inte..."

So she wanted Patrick to go over and persuade Miss Jones, who was indeed acting like a big star.

Christina stole a glance at the man beside her.

She was surprised that Patrick had coaxed a woman to take medicine.

This cold man was so considerate to his Miss Jones.

Christina saw him hanging up the phone thoughtfully.

She quickly said, "Just drop me off here."

When Patrick heard her, he frowned and looked at her.

Christina looked a little embarrassed.

"Miss Jones is sick.If you want to see her, I'll leave you to it.You let me out of the car.I'll call the driver to take me back home.’ She was sensible and knew that she was no match for Cecilia.

Besides, she didn't want to hear about them either because this made her feel like she was the one coming between them and uncomfortable.

When Patrick heard her say this, he slowly stopped the car and leaned over to her.

His deep eyes were fixed on her, and he asked in a deep voice, "You want me to go?"

His words were tinged with an ambiguous emotion.

Christina felt nervous, and she forced a smile.

"Patrick, I know this is just a deal.

I don't want anything, and I won't dare interfere with your relationship with Miss Jones..."

"I really thank your family for curing my aunt's heart disease.I know my place and what I should do.After the baby is born, I will."

"Get out of the car!"

Patrick didn't wait for her to finish.

Suddenly, he seemed very angry and shouted at her.

Christina was stunned.

Then she saw his cold face and his angry gaze on her.Her heart trembled.

"Did you hear me?"

When Patrick saw her bewildered expression, the anger became stronger in his heart.

Christina was completely stunned.

The minute she got out of the car, Patrick had driven away.

She stared blankly at the departing car and said with a sullen expression.

"What was that?"

She stood on the side of the road and looked down at her toes unhappily.

She recalled that ten minutes ago, Patrick had asked her gently where she was going for lunch, but now he left her here.

"I don't want you to go, but what right do I have to do that..."

She couldn't ask him to stay.

Not long after, the driver of the Hopkins Family came to pick her up.

Christina had been a little depressed after she returned to the Hopkins Family.

The cook made her a large bowl of bland but nutritious food.

This time, she did not complain as she had usually done.

While she was eating the nutritious meal, Mr.Hopkins came over and noticed something was wrong with her.

"What's wrong?" The old man asked in a deep voice.

"Where's Patrick? He didn't go to class with you?"

"He went with me, but he..." Christina reported truthfully and paused.

"But he received a phone call.It seemed that someone needed him at the company, so he left first."

She lied for him.

Mr.Hopkins did not like Miss Jones, so she did not dare to let him know where Patrick went, lest he blamed Patrick.

Christina didn't know when she started to feel like helping Patrick.

The old man did not think much about it.

He looked at her abdomen and asked, "How are you doing?"

"The child is very healthy."

When the old man heard that the child was healthy, he looked quite satisfied.

He ordered her.

"At night, you can read some books about how to make your child more healthy.Don't eat crabs in the middle of the night.’

"Okay” Christina nodded and said softly.

Then she looked up at the clock on the wall.

Patrick might not be back tonight.

After all, his Miss Jones fell into the water and got sick.

He had to be with his little darling.

Thinking about it for a while, Christina felt a little jealous.

She looked down at the bowl on the table expressionlessly.

She felt sad and angry, which she didn't know why.

She held the spoon and stuffed the porridge into her mouth.

Charles was the biggest shareholder of Universe Studio, so Charles, as the big boss, also appeared at the opening ceremony of the new drama, but did not expect an accident.

This great work would be remade, which was a huge deal, so many famous actors took part in the ceremony today, but Cecilia was the one that had an accident...

Charles felt his head ache.

He didn't care about anyone else, but it was Patrick's woman.

"Cecilia is in the lounge of the villa now..."

Charles saw that Patrick had driven by himself and immediately went forward to tell him about the situation.

There was an artificial lake near the set.

The lake was clear and blue.

Because today was the first day of the shooting, everyone was in a good mood.

Many actors went to the lake to take pictures.

They didn't expect Cecilia to fall into the lake.

But before Charles could say anything more, he saw Patrick pursing his lips tightly.

He knew Patrick was clearly in a bad mood as if he had been irritated by someone.

"Who offended him?!"

"Mr.Hopkins, good to see you.This way..."

When Cecilia's manager saw Patrick, she immediately ran forward happily to lead the way.

"Cecilia fell into the water three years ago once.Although she was not in any serious condition this time, she kept trembling and having nightmares and calling out your name..."

The manager walked with Patrick, telling him her situation.Patrick listened, expressionless, and pushed open the door.

This was originally a set, but now it was temporarily lent to Cecilia to rest.

The other actors saw the crew being so partial to Cecilia and did not dare to offend her because they knew she was supported by some big shot...

"How are you feeling?"

When Patrick came in, the frail woman on the bed had opened her eyes.

When Cecilia saw him coming, her eyes immediately turned red and tears welled up, as if she were very aggrieved.

"Patrick, I, I was very afraid..." She said in a choked voice.

"I dreamt of the day when we were happily taking our wedding photos, and then I fell into a dark abyss.I kept struggling and shouting your name..."

She was crying bitterly, looking pitiful.

"I thought I was going to die.I thought I would never see you again.’’ Patrick stood by the bed and looked at her familiar face.Seeing she crying so bitterly and helplessly, he felt his heart seemed to be touched by something.

He reached out and touched the tears in the corner of her eyes.

"You are fine.’’ His voice was low and soft as if he was speaking to her, but he also sounded like he was speaking to another woman.

"Mr.Hopkins, Cecilia really wanted to marry you three years ago.After the accident, although she had a narrow escape from death, she is now much weaker than before...’ The manager standing by said with a sigh.

Patrick looked at her pale face and said, "Ask the doctor to come in."

Then he was about to leave.

When Cecilia saw this, she cried even more violently.

She got up from the bed and wrapped her arms around his strong waist eagerly.

"Patrick, don't go.I'm scared..."

Patrick looked down at her face and suddenly remembered the woman at home.

He stared fixedly at the face, and a complex feeling arose in his heart.

He felt he didn't want to see this face, he felt a little resentful, and he felt...this face appealed to him irresistibly.

He sat by the bed slowly.

He lifted her hair hanging loosely on her back with his right hand, lowered his head, and whispered in her ear, "Don't cry"

He was extremely gentle and was comforting her.

Cecilia's eyes were filled with tears as she looked into his affectionate eyes, and her cheeks flushed.

She raised her arms to hold his neck...

The two bodies snuggled together and lay down slowly on the bed...

Charles and the manager immediately turned around, walked out, and closed the door.

Without looking at it, Charles who was expressionless knew what would happen.

The scene of a man and a woman having sex inthe room came to his mind.

"What about Christina..."

Charles looked at the sun setting in the sky and murmured sympathetically.

In fact, he liked Christina to be his friend's wife, but unfortunately...

Unfortunately, she wasn't the one Patrick liked.

Christina suddenly felt that the night was a little long.

After dinner, she took a comfortable warm bath and rolled around on the bed with the quilt, but she couldn't fall asleep.

She thought of Patrick's cold face for some reason.

She pursed her lips and looked a little upset.

"He's with a beautiful woman now.He won't come back...’ Because she was pregnant, Patrick didn't make love to her.

But...But he had forced her to be in his arms recently.

Now that he was not here, she was relieved, but she was also not used to his absence.

Christina tossed and turned in bed for a long time before falling asleep in the middle of the night.

She didn't understand why she felt a little irritable.

The next morning, she stretched her arms to push away the man beside her, only to find that the pillow and quilt beside her were cold and that he did not come back all night.

At five in the morning, it was customary to have breakfast with the Old Master.

As she walked, she secretly looked at the posts that Cecilia had posted on her blog...

Suddenly, she paused and stared at her phone with a complicated expression.

"What are you looking at?"

Seeing her being sneaky, Mr.Hopkins growled at her.

Christina immediately put her phone into her pocket and looked embarrassed.

"No, nothing."

She tried to force a smile.

She just saw from the notification that Cecilia was trending on the blog now.

This morning, a reporter took a photo of Cecilia with marks on her neck.

Most of the netizens were thinking that she had a romantic, wild night…
