Chapter 374

The ski resort here was in a membership system. There weren't many tourists so it wouldn't be too

crowded

There was a professional coach to guide the newcomers. Crystal was skiing for the first time. She

stepped on two snowboards, walked carefully, and did not dare to walk with a ski pole at all.

Chandler laughed behind her at her for walking like a duck.

It was also Geoffrey's first time learning to ski. He was a little anxious and plunged into the snow.

The handsome boy was a little embarrassed today.

"This is not fun."

Geoffrey was a little resentful. He thought there might be something wrong with the skis.

Crystal had the same idea as him. She looked down to glare hatefully at her skis. Why was it so

difficult?

Of course, only these rookies would have these thoughts. On the other side, Charles stepped on a

snowboard, holding ski poles with both hands, and flew down the mountain quickly, turned freely,

and shuttled around, which appeared very handsome.

Some female tourists cheered at Charles and took photos of him to put on social media.

Crystal looked at Charles with jealousy. She thought that he must have learned to ski to pick up

girls.

"Aunt Hopkins is so awesome!”

Geoffrey suddenly shouted excitedly, his eyes flashing with worship.

Christina stepped on the skateboard, chose a difficult direction of the mountain, and rushed down.

She jumped in the air and landed steadily. She moved nimbly like a snow elf, with a flick swerve, and

then disappeared.

Chandler commented, "Looks like a professional player.”

"No, she just practised it when she was a child.”

Crystal watched Christina slide down the mountain at top speed. She subconsciously took out her

cell phone to take a picture and then shared it on the social platform. Christina's skiing just now was

so cool that the photos quickly attracted a lot of likes.

Chandler listened to her and praised, "Gifted."

Crystal showed a complicated expression and sighed. "She's just bold.”

"Christina said that when she learned to ski from her father for the first time, she didn't listen to the

instructions to put on the skis well, directly rushing down the mountain, but she couldn't control her

sense of balance. As a result... She fell and rolled into a snowball, hitting a tree before stopping. That

time, she was scolded severely by her father..."

When Charles heard them talking, he turned to look at Christina, who was in high spirits, taking off

the cable car from the foot of the mountain. He was speechless and covered his face.

"Well, it's not easy for Donald to raise such a daughter.”

It must have been a shame to have snowballed herself when skiing.

Geoffrey listened attentively. He was encouraged, putting on his ski again and continuing to

practice valiantly. He wanted to learn from Christina,

"Uncle Shepherd, remember to take a picture with Mrs Hopkins for me later.”

Charles looked at Geoffrey's appearance of henchman. He really didn't know why he liked Christina

so much.

"Mrs. Hopkins's moves are too dangerous. Geoffrey, don't imitate her..."

While Christina learned new skills, she would not concerned about falling. Even though she may

make mistakes in skiing now, she still liked to try new difficult movements merely because she

found them interesting.

Her idea was simple. She wanted it, so she kept trying.

The air at high altitude was a little thin, and the cold temperature of the whole snow-capped

mountain stimulated her mind to be very clear. Christina went down against the wind, and her vision

was wide with snow-white. She was skiing at a high speed with her emotion suddenly calmed down

as if all her troubles could be forgotten at this moment.

At this time, in the Dickens family, Betty and Mrs. Dickens were sitting in the living room, frowning

and annoyed.

"Betty, Donald spoke so harshly yesterday. Do you think that the Hopkins family guy would retaliate

against us?"

Mrs. Dickens was worried. Yesterday, Patrick suddenly came and was scolded to kick out. Patrick

must be embarrassed, but he left without a word, which panicked her a lot.

Everyone knew that the Hopkins family was not one to be trifled with, especially this male grandson

of the Hopkins family.

The more Mrs. Dickens thought about it, the more worried she became. "Why don't we call Christina

now to tell her about the situation, and then let her mediate it, saying that the thing that happened

yesterday was just a misunderstanding...”

"No one is allowed to tell her about it."

Donald limped over with his walking stick, saying in a stern voice.

Mrs. Dickens was still worried. "But if they make trouble to us..."

"What can he do to our Dickens family?"

Donald threw his crutch heavily on the ground and sat down with difficulty. Talking about Patrick, he

was as angry as yesterday.

Betty felt that Donald was aggressive and said slowly, "Christina is playing in Switzerland. We'd

better not bother her about these things. We don't have much contact with the Hopkins family in

the future. Let's settle future things in future.”

But as soon as Betty finished speaking, the landline phone in the Dickens family living room rang.

It was from the Hopkins family!

Senior Mr. Hopkins called personally. He said word by word with his hoarse but dignified voice.

Betty was listening to him.

"Are you going to come to the Dickens family this afternoon in person... And bring the two

children?" Betty muttered in shock and disbelief.

Mrs. Dickens was overjoyed when she heard this. "Will he really bring the two children to our

family?”

Donald frowned and whispered to Betty, "Turn on the loudspeaker.”

Betty immediately turned on the loudspeaker, and everyone could hear Senior Mr. Hopkins clearly.

"I'm very ashamed of what happened to Christina. We Hopkins family apologize to her. That bastard

Patrick did a lot of wrong things. As his elder, I didn't give him enough education in time. Christina

was bullied when she married into the Hopkins family..."

Senior Mr. Hopkins fell his face and apologized sincerely. How could they afford it?

Betty hurriedly replied, "It's nothing. You said it too serious.”

"Christina is also very headstrong. She lived in the Hopkins family previously and was taken care of

by you. She never said that Hopkins family was not good to her..."

Originally, they planned to stay away from the Hopkins family forever. But seeing Senior Mr.

Hopkins's attitude, they were embarrassed to refuse. Besides, they really wanted to see the twins.

"The children are still young and not suitable for the journey. We'll visit the Hopkins family

tomorrow morning.” Donald finally replied calmly to the phone.

"Then I'll wait for you to come tomorrow.” Senior Mr. Hopkins was also very polite.

After hanging up the phone, the Dickens family was extremely excited. Mrs. Dickens grabbed

Donald's hand and said hurriedly, "I was worried that you'll refuse him just now. So long have I

expected to see my great-grandson.”

Betty complained a little with anxiety. "Why didn't you say that we'll go there today just now but put

it off until tomorrow?"

Donald was not angry as before, saying with a sigh, "We'll go tomorrow so that we have time to buy

some small gifts today. It's the first time we've seen children. We should buy some Red Knots, Ruyi

Pearls, and Safety Locks to bring a good fortune.”

"You're right, you're right."

Mrs. Dickens was in high spirits. "Let's go shopping now..."

As for what had bothered them before, they forgot all about it in an instant.

In Switzerland, Christina and the others had a good time skiing for two days.

Charles sat down to rest and drink water, quickly organizing their videos and photos of the past two

days to share them on WhatsApp.

"By the way, tomorrow we're going to a welfare home down the mountain to do charity.”

"You can transfer money directly to them."

Christina saw that Charles and Crystal were very active in sharing on social media, while she was not

interested in it. She felt that it was strange that Charles was so kind to do charity when she went on

a trip.

"Money is not everything. We do it with love. We only know the love of the world when we come

into contact with those poor and weak children.”

Christina didn't want to pay attention to his preaching. She took out her phone and browsed it

casually. Suddenly, she dazed.

Her aunt posted a few photos on social media, which showed they were in the Hopkins family.

Charles glanced closer curiously and became excited. He pointed to the screen of her phone and

said, "Christina, look, this twin baby is your son..."

Her father, Donald, was stiff and held a child in one hand, but his serious side face and eyes were

filled with love. Her grandmother also held the other child tightly with both hands, smiling happily

with her eyes narrowed.

There was a familiar figure in the corner of one of the photos. It was Patrick as silent as usual.

But in the photo, he was sitting in the corner of the sofa, swiping his phone seriously. Patrick was

not a person who liked to waste time playing with his phone, and he seemed a little absent-minded.

She didn't know what he's looking at with his phone.
